Yup, that is a Scooby Do pad!

I've been playing around the the colours earlier but can't make up my mind. I might just wait until they have a sale/special offer on them (even if that's a year or more away).

I do like flight Sims but I'm a complete novice, and would love anything that improves the experience, but I'm well out of the loop on which peripherals are worth the money, can imagine though like anything it's a massive money pit once you become serious.

If you're gentle you can fly using the joypad, I often do this if out and about. It's not as realistic, or as easy, but if you learn how to trim the plane can be hands of to some extent. I only do little planes (GA) so no idea about interacting with bigger stuff. Also I have a keyboard for the odd thing not on the joypad.

MSFS will start you on the runway with engines running, if you want, so all the obscure stuff is done. Then everything you need is on the joypad. Good enough to try it out and see if it pulls you in deeper.
 
Arrrrgggggghhhhhh !

I was on the MS store randomly mashing F5 when stock was available, but it was out of stock by the time I'd added it to the basket :(
 
Are saved games compatible between old and updated games on Games Pass? I'm thinking specifically will my existing Plague Tale save be compatible with the new 60fps version?
 
Yay, managed to bag one at my local Argos.

My main TV is a LG CX55, but I also want to be able to use it on a TV in another room that's a 5 year old LG LCD one, is it worth getting a HDMI 2.1 lead for that? The cable would need to be 5m.

Is there such a thing as a HDMI 2.1 4K splitter?

If it’s not 4k120 then you don’t need 2.1. 2.0 supports 1440p120 or 4k60.
 
I've never had so much HDR enjoyment as I am having with the series X. It was so hit and miss with the PC.

What is preferred?, HDR and Freesync or Dolby Vision and Freesync turned off?

Is this game any good? strangely I've managed to completely miss it, never heard of it. Looks good graphically.

I completed it this week. Linear but still pretty good and a decent storyline. Looks amazing but I'm a sucker for 60fps gaming. Too much of a backlog so unlike to replay.

I'm sure it said 4k/120

Maybe I'm wrong and misheard it which makes 4k/120hz even more pointless

Single player 100% won’t be 4k120, maybe multiplayer will as the graphics quality is always dropped substantially for MP on Halo games.

4K is a pointless target anyway, it uses a lot of power for no gain over 1440p at most viewing distances.
 
Started Metro Exodus, haven't got very far yet, probably an hour in but finding the in game dialogue scenes way too long...FFS give me control back and lets get on with it!!

That makes sense, mustn't have been paying attention when watching the YouTube video properly.

I only have a 1440p monitor for now anyway
