Guest, it's time once again for the massively important and exciting FoH Asshat Tournament!
Go here and give us your nominations!Who's been the biggest Asshat in the last year? Give us your worst ones!
I assumed BF would be the answer, but I was hoping there was some decent grey market or cross-region source that people used. A BF sale is probably going to knock it down to $50 Canadian which is still more than I want to spend on it.

i wouldn't buy PSN/xbox/steam credit or GWG/PS+ extensions from shady places, sometimes they are bought with stolen credit cards and when the chargebacks occur Sony/Microsoft/Valve will ban YOUR account since you are the "end point" of the fraud. Saving $10 to me isn't worth risking losing all your digital games.
Also should enable 2FA on your gaming accounts, and don't tie credit card/paypal to them but just buy wallet cards from amazon/gamestop/best buy/etc so in case your account is hacked you don't have to deal with a lot of extra headaches.

May have been said but I had to force an update on my Xbox one X to download the latest software released on 10-11. Dolby vision is now supported through Netflix and will offer a much better HDR experience. Going to check it out now.

Ok all set up. Looks fantastic. Note that with DV if you have it supported, it will most likely send you to another display set up so you may have to do some tweaking.
Also, try setting color bit to 12. Disable 4:2:2 and see if you still get a signal. You will need high bandwidth (18gb) hdmi cabling on all device pass throughs. If you do, use that as it will default to 4:4:4 chroma. Ycc 4:2:2 is an encoder which you can and will lose some color depth in compression loss. Reason why some people need that is their cabling might only support 10.2gb bandwidth. 4:4:4 at 4k30 12 bit pushes 13 or so gb so you will need the higher bandwidth cables. If your display goes funky, revert to 10 bit ycc 4:2:2.
(Above is for Xbox one X with a tv that supports DV and also if your receiver supports DV pass through).

My PS4 Pro was a refurbed unit from Gamestop for $269. Managed to snag a white one because white power. But it works flawlessly, and whatever noise folks are talking about I've literally never noticed while I'm sensitive to fan noise from decades of mastering a silent PC experience. It's just fucking annoying I couldn't find a second official white DS4 controller. It looks amazing in 4K HDR. The only pain point I have is the 30-45m it takes to install a new game on the stock hard drive, and seems stupid I'd have to spend as much as I did for the console on a proper drive (though I did spend $400 on an m2 for my PC, but I use that shit 24/7).

My backlog of PS4 games is getting out of control. I still have God of war, Dragon quest 11, Witcher 3, final fantasy 15 to beat with Horizon: Zero Dawn and Mass Effect Andromeda still unopened. I guess I'll finish up God of war cause Red Dead Redemption 2 is right around the corner and that's gonna suck up all my gaming playtime for a while.

Taking the words out of my mouth. I wish I could get those hours back. It looks and starts amazing, but then it's just meh all the way through.Well you can take mass effect andromeda and burn it and comfortably know that’s one less game in the back log.
