After selecting the console I want to trade in it doesn't go any further than that. Might be the site having issues right now. It's good to know I can utilize bestbuy for console trade ins though.

There's like a couple of boxes you have to tick to give them the condition. Looks like a PS4 Pro is $50 trade in.

It's working now.

 

$50 - PS4 Pro 

$110 - Xbox one x 

$70 - Switch

 

Total: $230. 

 

I will check gamestops trade in values now. $230 is pretty weak, imo.

[best3444]

Gamestop trade in value:

 

Xbox one x - $175

Nintendo Switch - $175

PS4 Pro - $175

 

Total: $525.

 

So I will deal with gamestop for trade ins obviously. That's basically almost covering my toal when buying the xsx.

I traded my PS4 Pro and XboneX in at GS and used the credit to buy extra controllers, charging stations, and the rest for PSN/XBOX/Steam cards

More games getting FPS Boost.

 

Games Featuring FPS Boost

MAJORNELSON.COM

---

FPS Boost is an enhancement added to Xbox One Backward Compatible titles to help boost framerates to nearly double that of their original.

 

[Keyser_Soze]

EA games getting the boost

 

120 Titanfall 2 though!

[XxEvil AshxX]

I'm waiting for Oblivion to get the FPS boost. I re-played some of it recently and remembered how much better it was than Skyrim. It holds up graphically but that framerate is rough.

Oblivion's soundtrack is also more diverse than Skyrim's. Oblivion has one hell of a soundtrack.

Until xCloud matures, I’m glad I have a series S for when I’m traveling. Perfect to stick in the bag for a flight.

Indeed. Also.. I will say this; Oblivion with Auto HDR is pretty damn nice looking, especially in the dungeons with the torches and varla stones. If they can manage to clean up that framerate I'd be all over it.

Time for more acquisitions

 

[Mercury33]

They should use all the money to I dunno, maybe try making a game?

[JPDunks4]

 

Nicely done Microsoft.  Plenty of these still in the backlog.

Run Untitled Goose Game at 120htz!

That's ridiculous. Fuck this gen 😆 

[Spawn_of_Apathy]

Anthem is fps boosted? The game is saved bois! Let’s GOOOO!

[stepee]

Sony really needs to up their BC support, it is getting hard to recommend a ps5 over a XSX to someone without a gaming pc between this and gamepass.

[best3444]

I just find it inexcusable that it's this difficult to buy an XSX or PS5. I'm going to be waiting a long time. I don't even care at this point.

Isn't there a global computer chip shortage that's making it hard for all kinds of electronics makers right now?

I'm not sure. Sounds like a good excuse, though. 

[silentbob]

No he’s right. Some car manufacturers are also on hold because of the lack of the chipsets available for the infotainment setups
