The special editions were already gone when I clicked the link, but I wonder why is TLoU bundle the same price as TLoU + GTAV bundle, it seems like a pricing error.

I don't quite get why doesn't Sony produce say 500K of these at $499. I am fairly certain they would sell them fairly easily across the world and many people would buy a 2nd set just because. It's like Nintendo with their GameCube adapter.
It being an edition that is limited is kind of the point.

A run limited to 500k would also be limited.

Their insistence to limit it to the same run as the initial PSX production is some nostalgic bs that really only sets up disappointmrnt for loads of their fans and brings a huge payday to scalpers, imo. :shrug:

Indeed, plus it would bring a "tidy profit" to Sony and raise visibility, especially in US when MS is doing very well.

My guess is you can ride this hype wave and sell it for quick bucks or hold on to it and hope they don't produce 1 million more units.

^^ Or that. But given that you were asking, I assume you already have a PS4.

Put it in a closet and forget about it for twenty years and then make $100 when you sell it in 2035 to the guys in the retro games thread.

I'm fine if I never get one of those, but I would like a gray controller.

GTA Online on PS4 pays for itself with just the 30 player increase. 30 player races are pretty crazy.

"We at Rockstar would like to apologize. We were hoping we would have heists ready for the heists update at launch, unfortunately though it is going to take some time to get them up to our rigorous standards. At this time the heists update will be launching as normal, and heists will be added at a later date. Stay tuned!"

I figured it would not be too hard for Americans to buy from Canada compared to other international situations, but I dunno.

edit: I was mostly going off of how many more Americans there are than Canadians, and because Americans are famous for wanting everything in the world all the time.

lmao audiophile hifi bullshit? you can get a pair of headphones better than any gaming headset, a splitter and a little microphone for less than any "gaming headsets" and it will sound about 50x better. audiophile nonsense is paying extra for snake oil and bullshit and that handily describes the gaming headset market.

im not suggesting anyone use a sm58 for gaming, I was just answering a question which was being asked. I do suggest people look outside the gaming peripheral market and get something better for less money and stop getting ripped off for headsets with the fidelity of a $15 pair of headphones.

I asked you to name one and you refused. Not really sure what you expect from people who give a tenth of a poo poo as much as you do, if you don't even know of a model that fits your criteria.

My friend had this issue with his Pulse Elite for a while. The way he fixed it was to stop wearing the headset backwards. :mmmhmm:

This was me :saddowns:

To be fair, there isn't any labeling on the headset itself as to which side the built-in mic is on. The way I remember it is that all the controls are on the left earcup, which is where the mic is.
