Nice. It's so much better than the deals for fixed voucher amounts.

The good thing about the HCF rewards is you can get a voucher for a specific amount. So if you need to buy something that is 47.95, you can…

Similar to how Hollywood forces you to buy a bunch of junk films to get the good one. nVidia isn't really the one forcing the bundling or…

Yep. Still price jacking. It might not be the retailer's fault, but the jacking is occurring regardless. Can't blame a 10% tariff for a…

Yeah sorry bud, but that really shouldn't be related at all. It may end up being tariff related, but the prices here are already…

I think people should break out of the upgrade cycle anyway. If your current card works alright just stick with it. I'll get a 5080 when I…

Yep. It always happens, but especially with prices being overly inflated this time already (Oz Tax) it stings even more. Remember the days…

Anyone looking at the 50 series cards, be warned that starting to see our e-tailers jack the prices up before any restocks come. Centrecom…

Isn't there a requirement for notification? It's been technically 3 weeks since the breach was first put out there. Only getting the Dark…

Ha... well that doesn't help much does it. Turned it on.

If anyone has an interstellar or tomb raider they aren't going to use, please pm me. Thanks a bunch.

Inflation, plus poor dollar conversion, and then some price gouging.

I started with Hubitat Elevation and I love it, combined with Philips Hue to do some smart bulb lighting, along with Mercator Zigbee…

How are you finding the drivers? I'm looking at a possible premium 4K build and it feels like Intel just wouldn't be a good fit at that…

I don't know, Governments printing vast amounts of cash and injecting it into the system, whilst simultaneously locking industries down and…

Maybe but at the moment they just aren't selling. So if enough people keep turning their noses up then that floor has to come down a bit.

Those ranges seem more, dare I say reasonable. Still pricey AF but I feel more people would jump at those ranges. Especially if the cheaper…

Totally. Just feels like the joy of PC building is being robbed or relegated to higher end luxury. I guess it always was to a degree, but…

So you think it's worth less than the 3080 was? I'd probably snap buy at that price as well. Unlikely for new though.

Are you tempted at the 1750 ish price point? Which would essentially be just under the US MSRP, with no Oz tax. I do think the 1200 MSRP is…

I think we might be waiting a while for that one. That was 8 years ago, and inflation is a thing generally, sucky though it may be.

Fair enough. I feel inflation generally has ruined our chances of getting back that far. Would be nice though.

Just curious for folks. When reviews of the 4080 arrived, it seemed like the performance was good but the price was the issue. Now that…

Books are also discounted on Google Play for those that don't do kindle. :)

So far it seems most are either waiting/passing or getting the Pro. I've never had a curved screen so it will be interesting to see if I…

I thought I read that the Pro had the stainless steel around the edge, might be wrong on that. Not sure on the curved screen myself, never…

Good point. The 300 US difference is more like over 400 bucks here. It also means that the regular 6 has more of the australia tax here…

I would normally do that... but the chip shortages have punished waiters lately so I gritted my teeth for a pre-order. Embargo is a worry,…

**Pixel 6 - Pro vs Standard** I'm curious to know what led to your decision for one or the other, as I think the pricing creates an…

Ah NO. Love just how much wishful thinking occurs in a conversation like this. You're disconnected from reality if you think that these…
