The mandatory Kinect thing pisses me off. I don't want to pay for something I'm not going to use. Don't need/want bluray either. I can understand them putting a BL player in it, most people do want it. But 90% of the people I know with a 360 don't have a Kinect. And those that do have one never use it. I like how they made a big deal about the headset too. Cause so many people use the one it comes with, hahahaha.

 

 

I hate the mandatory Kinect too. The only good thing is that my Wife will use it atleast.

Its not Mandatory anymore guys. You can plug it up without the Kinect once you get it.

I'd imagine the blu-ray ability stems from the games being put on blu-ray discs, or will be eventually, as they hold anywhere from 3-20 times more than a dvd. Cuts down on needing multiple discs like the 360 using 2 or 3 vs the ps3 sometimes using only 1. So by default you get the ability to play blu-ray movies even if you don't want it.

It's not mandatory to have to have it plugged in anymore, but you still have to pay for it. Like I said though, it will make my Wife happy so I don't mind it.

They are saying they can't let the 360 games work because they're switching to bluray? I have a hard time believing it couldn't be encoded to read the old discs.

It will not be backwards compatible. The ps4 which is bluray will not play ps3 games which are bluray

No blu-ray is backwards compatible with dvd. They just don't want to do the extra work to put the software/hardware in it to allow 360 games to work properly. They probably looked at when the PS3 tried to do that with ps2 games and it worked well for the most part but people started to raise hell about a few obscure games that didn't work. So the minority ruined it for the majority. That's also why those original backwards compatible ps3s fetch a hefty price when reselling, or they used to anyway.

 

They also figure that by now most people who would want a 360 have one already. They are going to continue with the 360 for another couple years I believe. I read somewhere that the last ps2 game was just released a short while ago.

 

Either way yet another point for PC gaming. Always backwards compatible all you need is a virtual machine if the game doesn't play nice with your current version of windows.

PC Gaming > *

 

Yes, but not all of us game on the PC. We use consoles. And what about Mac gaming?

Mac gaming is worse than console gaming but might get better now that Mac has been using PC components for a couple years now. I think Linux will see a greater improvement in the next couple years than Mac will though. The new consoles are nothing but over priced and under powered PCs so technically everyone will be PC gaming with this next gen. To each their own though, thus is the great thing about choices. I can understand the draw towards consoles but I'm too cheap to take that expensive route.

 

I'd be interested to see if with this new gen of consoles if game mods will somehow be doable. With the way they lock those things down sadly I don't think so. Would be nice for you guys if it did though.

I get the urge to game on my couch every now and then so I roll my tower into the room and hook it up to the big screen. A bit sad really since that tv has a ps3 and a "media pc" already hooked up to it. I think if I had a big screen and surround sound in my room I'd game from my bed. I don't even have a TV in my room anymore, after having it sit on top of the safe for the last few years collecting dust I gave it to my dad to use in his room.

 

As much as I hate using the xbox controller (having only owned playstations probably has something to do with that) I think I'm going to have to get one one day since they are a lot more user/game friendly when used on a PC than the PS3 controller is.

 

Another couple pluses for consoles is you guys get games that were made for consoles and not just a crap port over. Also y'all sometimes get games sooner than the PC. Prime example would be Rockstar games, they normally don't release a PC version for 6-12 months after the console version of some of their games.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.

      I can't believe that could possibly be the case. It should be 36mo/100k miles from installation. Then again, it also seems like since a dealership installed it, it'd all be in the system and you wouldn't need to worry about registering, either. Shows you what I know. 😄 Hope this one outlives the warranty!

      I haven't seen inventory recovery from COVID.    In the few random times I 'build my own' truck or SUV, no one has the exact one I want.   GM has been working to lower incentives too for a long time.    A $500 incentive isn't getting me off the couch to go truck shopping.
