Smash TV!!!

Picking up my PS5 on Thursday!

Hotstock.io rules.

Never heard of them. Adding it now as I still can't find a PS5 and refuse to pay scalper prices for one.

I tried for like 6 months - dozens of drops at Walmart, Target, etc. and never came close to getting one.

2 weeks with the HotStock app on my phone and I just barely missed a Target pickup, had 2 Walmart drops that I missed but at least saw (Walmart is a lost cause BTW, the scalpers rule that site) and the first Best Buy drop for pickup I got right away.

Definitely a GREAT app.

And as far as the PS5, I'm glad I'm playing Monster Hunter World. That think is a loading screen fest on PS4. Sometimes 2 minutes of loading before or after a mission.

It's like 20 seconds on PS5.

Very nice! I got the app the day you mentioned it. I do like it and just missed out once on the Playstation site. I know what you mean about Walmart. I kept getting an alert that they had one for over $800. I figured out to prevent that I set my price point to $500 which eliminated that. I want one, but not so much that I am willing to pay scalper prices for one. I will just get one the legit way, just gotta be patient.

Decided to cancel this and try for an Xbox Series X instead. I got hotstocks setup on my phone last night, so I'll give it couple weeks.

Man that is awesome! Will get the app now - thanks!

Great tip on skipping Walmart. I've tried several XsX drops in a row and it's a total mess. I'm best buy or target from here on out.

What games are you starting with?

Art of Rally


This game rules. Neat graphics, an absolute banger of a soundtrack (seriously, the music is so damn good), and really difficult but rewarding gameplay. It's going to take most folks a hot minute to really understand how to control these cars, but nailing a hairpin at speed is so satisfying. It's almost like playing a rally version of micromachines based on the overhead camera, but it's tough as nails.

Did I mention the music!?

Those graphics look like a mobile phone game from 10 years ago...

Do you even 3D, bro? :D

Its a weirdly demanding game. I had to turn down a couple of settings on my 2070 to get 120 fps @ 2k. I've already made the mistake of writing off a game based on graphics (FTL), and really regretted all of the years I missed of playing what ended up being in my top 5 favorite games ever. Never again.

BTW play bloodborne already.

Sounds cool! I was really posting tongue in cheek. Actually surprised it would require that much video hardware from the stills. I'll have to check out some gameplay video. :thumb:
