You must be young. 2 years for a port the quality and standard of MM is nothing. GTA V took far longer and that wasn’t even an exclusive.
Blasto2236 - sure, if you wanna play your games at lower quality I guess

You’re incorrect buddy - claiming elsewhere on this thread this is unsolicited goods. It is not.

“But this doesn't apply to items sent to you by mistake (as happened to Robert); if the order was sent to you twice; or if there's extra stuff on top of what you ordered. If a firm has left goods with you that weren't unsolicited goods, they still belong to the trader and you should try to give them back.”

“Not unsolicited goods
- If you have been sent items by mistake; such as a duplicate order or additional items, mistaken identity, wrong address, in your name but you didn’t order them, any kind of fraud”
“5) If you have had any contact with any company and you have any order with them and they send you something different/additional”
Additional items or wrong items in an order you did place with a merchant you are expecting items from is NOT unsolicited goods.

Completely irrelevant- the unsolicited goods act does not apply if they sent him the wrong item for the right order. He must return the incorrect item if requested

This is incorrect. It doesn’t come under unsolicited goods because he did in fact order something, but received the wrong item. He must return the PS5.

Reply to Xbox S Or Nintendo Switch by Glambombkl
Why would you need an Xbox if you have a PC? All Xbox games are on Windows.
Switch is tricky as lots of rumours of a Switch 2 floating around so it might not have the best longevity.
Maybe a Steam Deck?

You’d be better off building a junkman PC. Games will be cheaper and online is free and you can upgrade when you have more cash

Reply to Is XBOX 360 still worth to buy in 2022? by StargateRush
A bog standard laptop with an Intel Iris 645 from 2018 has 800odd GFLOPs of GPU performance. An Xbox 360 has 240. Does this answer your question? Stick to the PC.
Edit: Why is this being downvoted? A PC will have cheaper games and more longevity/use cases

The VCR is doing RF modulation if you wanna get a stand-alone box for that.
RBTropical t1_iziuztn wrote
Yes, but it would take a series of adapters with likely enough input lag it wouldn’t be usable, or high end adapters with a fairly painful price tag.
- HDMI - AV composite
- AV composite - RF modulator
- IEC coax/F plug/BNC (depending on what your modular connector is) to screw terminal adapter cable. You could probs MacGyver this by chopping up a cable.
If you got a decent high end low lag version of number 1, number 2 shouldn’t add much/any lag and number 3 is just a cable, so you MIGHT be ok. You’d be better off finding a CRT with component though and adapting HDMI to that.
This is a cheap box that claims to do it all - you’d just need an IEC coax to screw terminal cable - but I’d imagine the HDMI to composite part of the box’s conversion is poor and would cause input lag. If you just want this for a meme or to watch movies though it would work.

This wouldn’t do the job. You’d need to take the composite output and convert this to RF with another box, and then adapt F plug (likely) or BNC or coax AC to screw terminals.

Reply to comment by joeyhell in what do I need it terms of hardware and Internet speed to hook up 5 PS5 and 5 Xbox S to run on the same Internet? by joeyhell
Online gaming uses anywhere from 40-300MB per HOUR.
https://www.domainnamesanity.com/blog/how-much-data-does-online-gaming-use/
That’s 0.66mbps for 300MB/h. 10 consoles wouldn’t even exceed 7mbps. A 50mbps connection would be more than enough let alone 100. 1000 as an absolute minimum? So dumb.
This is barely a third of the bandwidth a standard-def Netflix stream uses, let alone HD, 1080 or 4k.
Think about it - if you need 1Gbps MINIMUM, this would imply (with 10 consoles) people can’t even game with stable 100mbps connections. Does that sound plausible at all?
OP ignore that guy.
Re hardware - a cheap gigabit switch with 12 ports, 10 cables connected between it and your consoles and 1 to go to the router (with a port spare just in case) will do just fine. The fact this guy suggests a 10 port switch also blows my mind, as you’d max out the ports and none of them would be able to connect to the internet…

Reply to I remember when I made a post in the Xbox sub about the series S holding games back and keeping them from truly looking next gen. That post got hundreds of downvotes. Funny to see this now. by Fauxdiophile
This is lazy game devs. I don’t recall PC games on a 4080 being held back by also running on a 1060. The Series S doesn’t hold shit back, studios are just lazy and have stupid turnaround times.
I’ve spoken to several software devs who say since the architecture is the same, you just render at lower FPS or res. It’s not difficult.
The architecture and CPU aren’t even different, it’s just GPU cores and clocks. It’s literally 3070Ti vs 3060. This is studio heads wanting to save money on optimisation and validation that’s all.
