An external Disk drive that was bundled with a crappy cloud storage subscription. it was $80 down with a $70 rebate...

 

rebate never went through, will never overpay with the promise of a rebate again.

i just bought a oneplus one.

We can't Benchmark like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to shove more GPUs in your computer. Like the time I needed to NV-Link, because I needed a higher HeavenBench score, so I did an SLI, which is what they called NV-Link back in the day. So, I decided to put two GPUs in my computer, which was the style at the time. Now, to add another GPU to your computer, costs a new PSU. Now in those days PSUs said OCZ on them, "Gimme 750W OCZs for an SLI" you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had two GPUs in my rig, which was the style at the time! They didn't have RGB PSUs at the time, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big green ones.

personally, i never use rebates. nor do i assume i'll ever get one. it's a marketing scheme.

Logitech Harmony 350 arrived today, but after registering and setting everything up the software suddenly stops working so I can't copy the settings to the remote.
I don't want to bother with the software, I'll return it.

It's not out yet. :P 

That's a preorder. Which is silly. 

What do they know of England, who only England know?

Rarely preorder games, and if I preorder, I preorder games that I know I'm going to play a lot regardless (so far only BF3, BF4 and now GTAV) and it was a good deal, so I don't see anything wrong with preordering.

You're giving money sight unseen. Battlefield 4 was daylight robbery with how poor of a game that was at launch, not even worth £50. GTA V could be the worst port Rockstar have ever made and you have already given them money for a shoddy product.

Yes, the launch of BF4 was rocky, but it slowly turned into a great game and I haven't regreted buying it since. Could it be the same with GTA 5? Sure. Will it be the same? Given the amount of time they've put into the "port", which afaik, isn't even a real port per sé and the delays, I hope and think it'll run very well. Not to mention that some sites have stated that the game runs very good on PC, and even if it turns out to be bad, so be it, I'm still going to clock hundreds or even thousands of hours into the game and get a lot of enjoyment out of it. 

 

I don't understand why I have to justify a purchase I made for myself with my own money that is not affecting you nor anybody else, so please, if you don't like that I preordered something, keep your mouth shut and ignore it. Thank you <3

Indirectly effecting. Gives developers a poor reason to not fully finish games. They know they're going to get money no matter how little effort they put into the game if they spend a lot on marketing, meaning games are only going to get worse and worse over time. Like Ubisoft, EA, Bethesda in some cases. Buying sight unseen are stupid. Your buying habits are bad and you should feel bad.
