    Profoundsoup got a reaction from Tamesh16 in How much difference do M.2 drives make vs SATA SSD's for an OS drive and games?   
    Is it worth upgrading to an m.2 drive to use for a games drive and OS drive? How much of a difference would it realistically make compared to a regular SATA SSD?

    What kind of music are you listening to?
     
    I would recommend listening to nothing but the HD 650 for a week, as @Pomfinator suggested, then listen to your old headphones again. You may be surprised how different they sound at that point.

    Kingdom Hearts II

    Profoundsoup reacted to Daniel644 in Does anyone here use Playstation Vue? If so what is your opinion on it?   
    I DO, been using it since MARCH, it's hit or miss and you need to know what you are getting into for sure, for me it's only been a few minor issues, In the 6 months I've used the service I've had 3 nights that had buffering issues.
     
    Couple pieces of info to start with that a LOT of people that post on the Support Forum for Vue don't seem to realize so I will mention them here:
    1. YOU MUST have either a PS3, PS4, Fire TV or Roku device, you CANNOT START using Vue on a mobile device until you have first used one of the previously mentioned devices.
    2. If you have an ISP that constantly changes your IP address to address that geo-locate all over the place you are likely to have continuing location errors (I don't have this but others have experienced it on an almost weekly basis due to their ISP's).
    3. the Roku interface SUCKS BIG TIME, it has NO GUIDE, also neither does the Android Version.
    4. if you are buying devices for different TV's BUY FIRE TV 4K BOXES, I say this because the Fire Stick is PAINFULLY SLOW (new model stick releasing in about a week and a half might be better) and since Vue is tied to your PSN account that means you can only use 1 PS4 and 1 PS3 at a time, if you try to sign into a second one you get logged out of the first one.
    5. Vue DOES NOT use PSN SUB ACCOUNTS, so if you have the wife and kids on SUB ACCOUNTs they can't access Vue from there accounts, you have to sign in on the PSN account used to create it then within Vue create and select profiles (this is another point where Fire TV's are good because once you log in one time they don't have to know your PSN account info to keep signing in everytime).
    6. DVR needs some work, it has no way to manually extend recording times so when recording LIVE events you need to record shows that air after the game as well, also the last 5-20 seconds of shows tend to get cutoff due to a time alignment difference between the stream and the guide, also DISNEY owned networks are HORRIBLE at DVRing things properly
    7. SPORTS, specifically Football games have ALL KINDS of restrictions, like games aired on CBS get blacked out on NFL Network so if you don't get a Live CBS feed then you can't watch that game
    8. Networks haven't acquired the streaming rights to ALL shows and movies so from time to time you will find shows and movies that CAN'T be watched like Ghost Hunters and some movies on TCM (i've been with the service since mid march and the ONLY times I've seen this is when someone said on the forum they couldn't watch it and I tuned in to confirm it.
     
    All that said, I personally love the over all reliability that I've experienced with the service, the video on the Fire TV 4k is great for "live" tv and having a cloud DVR so that I don't have to worry about if I lose power or it rains to hard and loses signal like you see with Satellite is real nice. Definitely try the 7-day trial and see what you think of it and when you do it use either a PS4 or Fire TV 4k, the PS3 is almost as bad as the Fire TV Stick performance wise. It's definitely worth it in my book until another service comes along that offers ALL the channels I want, since I currently use both Sling and Vue. For me Vue is MUCH better then Sling.

    Roku was one of the most recently added platforms to Vue and with Roku unless a developer invests TONS on money into developing a 100% ground up build specifically for Roku (you can't port apps to Roku) you are left using the default Roku app template which totally blows, folks are hoping things change when the next Roku Firmware launches (rumored to come with the new generation of Rokus) which is supposed to include tools to build much better apps, but I wouldn't hope for to much from that and definitely no quick response from Sony.
     
    I've got some tips and tricks videos for using Vue on my Youtube channel and looking for ideas for more (kinda How-to guides for Vue) I personally have access to my old PS3, my Fire TV 4k and the Fire Stick I set my dad up with and recently shot a video comparing the 3 devices, but I need to find the time to add some annotations before I post the videos publicly. my youtube user name is danielrichards644 if you want to check some of them out.

    Right, because someone being ably to afford a 1200 dollar graphics card must mean they're rich, right? 
     
    Or maybe they don't waste money in bars, or strip clubs. Or don't waste money on a new phone every 6 months.

    They're expensive but yes. Machines are well built and support is top notch. If budget isn't an issue, they are as good of an option as any.

    Well yeah, you lose the surround. But other than that everything will be where it should be - they just mix it down to two channels during mastering.

    Yes they will, they have a 30 day return policy on most items. You can either do the return yourself or contact support because you might be able to get a little extra out of it of someone else damaged your package. Worth a shot
