Agree, you can say it doesn't run it at 1080p, fact. It doesn't run it is just willy waving and console war level tripe.

Yup, and I'd like to think that many people have grown past that.

There are different things I love about all the consoles this generation.

Game Pass is fantastic, and love backward compatibility but not keen on the Xbox controller.

Love the PS4 UI and some of the exclusives, but hate the noise of my Pro, it's insanely loud, great pad too.

Switch is (well was) brilliant for travelling with, superb first party games, great for local multiplayer. Pro pad awesome too.

Carrion was excellent, finished it over a couple of days.

I’ve just started. The concept seems great, like a reverse Metroidvania.

Yeah, got a bit frustrated at times as theres no map, but once you pick up on the clues you get the idea of where you have to go.

Heading back in today and hope it's a simple forgot to attach a wire job....

Thanks for the suggestion about replacing the joycon sticks themselves. However the left one always has the same problem no matter what stick I add to it. It won't register forward all the way yet always drifts forwards.

Would Nintendo look at it now I've had it open?

They did with mine.

Try resetting calibration first though.

Yeah but they will charge you.

Not if it's sent back with the original stick, there is no way for them to tell.

Chris85 · 29 Jul 2020 at 21:48

I'll send it back and see what happens. Calibration doesn't help either.

Thanks for the help. Hope they give a price before repairing it.

Send proof of purchase if it's under a year and they won't charge you a penny.

Then theres probably nothing about.

Nope no deals going. Stock still low and demand still high. I swear most families are buying second ones because they are sick of sharing islands on animal crossing.

I am after one. But I will wait for John Lewis to get stock. That 2 year warranty would have saved me some grief when the usb port broke

If you are not going to get a deal at least get 2 years warranty

Anyone else been playing rogue company? Got it on the switch today and been playing a few games with son (snagged a beta code off twitch for PC) really surprised me how fun it is. Runs well in switch! 60 fps

You get 2 years warranty no matter where you buy it from. Well, until Brexit is completed anyway.

Local shop in Southampton. I tried 3 places. Cex wanted £85 plus 7 days. I did find a cheaper place but it was a one man band from his house. It's not an easy job. In fact it's pretty tricky. You need a heat dispensing soldier setup. If you take a look at YouTube most won't fancy it.
