  1. Well technically you are also paying off credit cards with your own money (Unless you stole it). I use only credit cards, reason being better protection, rewards, and helps credit score. Of course I'm a responsible adult and know exactly how much I should be spending and not overspend on credit cards.
  2. I have the HTC 10 also, unfortunately I absolutely hate it. I've had so many problems with it, like GPS not working, apps crashing, phone restarting, and more. My friend is a big HTC fan and convinced me and another friend to get it. He had no problems but both my other friend and I had so many problems with it. I'm looking to get a new phone soon, either LG v30 or Pixel 2 XL possibly.
  3. Supply and demand 101, higher demand higher prices, lower demand lower prices. The fact that those re-sellers are selling at a much higher cost than MSRP shows that the demand is high. I guarantee you that if they actually drop it to what it's supposed to be, those would get sold. Once supply can keep up with demand, those prices over MSRP will disappear. It's similar to how the 1070 and 1080 were, prices were way over MSRP because supply couldn't keep up with demand.
  4. I don't know who that everybody is because I'm not one of them, but that's a very dumb way to look at it (not directed at you). Nintendo doesn't make money from those re-sellers, when they release their final number sold count, they are not counting those re-sellers. It's similar to how used games work, people re-sell the games, but those don't go into the final count nor does it go into the pocket of the developers so it's not part of the count. When they say so and so sold 50 million copies, they are not taking into account of re-sellers, and they shouldn't because it'll inflate the number unrealistically. If you do want to take into account resellers, you don't look at the number of them are selling, but how much are they selling it for. Supply and demand, if demand was low they would sell at or below MRSP, if demand was high than they would sell way above MRSP. Which one is happening right now?
  5. The whole point of the thread was saying the Switch is not selling well, you do not take re-sellers into account for that. You can't count them because it'll double the count and make it invalid, for example if Nintendo sold 5 units, and 5 people bought but those 5 people resold them, it doesn't mean Nintendo sold 10 units. So you can't use that because if Nintendo released 1 million units and all got sold than everyone put it up for sell, it doesn't suddenly negate the number sold, they still sold a million units. If you were discussing demand and using re-sellers, it kinda works but still not really because they are selling over MRSP. So unless someone really wants it, they are not going to buy it over MRSP. Also on Amazon, third party users who just launched are very sus. FYI I live in Houston (4th largest city in US) and just checked Target, BestBuy, Microcenter, and Fry's; pretty much all sold out within 100 miles of my location.
  6. I find it funny you say you don't base performance off price and yet continue to compare the price to performance. Seems to me you're basing performance off price....
  7. Not disagreeing with you, but that's a skewed stat, since there are way more human drivers than there are Teslas on the road. I agree that there will be more human error than the autopilots.
  8. It's happened quite a few times that the business tied to sue a reviewer because they wrote a negative review. It's been on the news a couple times and as expected the business got trashed by the general public because of it.
  9. We mostly watch in 1080p; who knows, maybe Comcast is straight up lying to me. I wouldn't put it past them
  10. Don't know what to say man My 3 person family usage for the past 4 months including this month and I don't even consider us to be that much of a data hog. This is mostly from watching YouTube, Anime, and minor things; none of us watch netflix; not much downloading. Maybe a few games and videos here and there, but we don't download that stuff everyday. So I wouldn't be surprised if bigger family would easily hit that 1 TB limit.
  11. I think you're ignoring the fact that there will be family's included in this cap. Individually, it would probably be fine; but a big family would have problems. If you yourself uses around 200-300 GB per month, think of a family of 5; they'll be pretty close to that 1 tb cap if not pass it.
  12. Well for my city (Houston), there's not much of a choice, either Comcast or ATT.
  13. Well, I won't say it's your fault for pre-ordering but...
  14. Is this another Mac vs PC crap. Macs are PC and iPads are tablets, no need to differentiate them.
  15. They could go after Microsoft for having it in their store, and since in the store Microsoft is technically making money off it
