I love that in literally three months he's gone from "720p is all I need in a TV and I can't justify buying any current gen console" to "4K TV and ALLLLL the consoles!".

He's justified it by keeping the Leon so that's fair en-*reads car thread*

Lol, no one's catching Hearthly this year.

Oooh, dunno about that. When I move house I’m definitely getting a 4K TV for my games room, and possibly also a new monitor for my PC, and I need new AV gear for my living room (unclear if that’s supposed to count.)

Surely it's just games and the consoles/pcs to run them on.

I feel like a 4K TV in a games room that will only have a console attached definitely counts.

I agree. If it were a general-purpose living room TV if would be a different story.

I'm pretty sure Joans counted his.

Unless he destroys the digital tuner rendering it unable to receive broadcasts he cannot include.

That's my final judgement.

I added some 'furniture' a few pages back but felt it was a legit inclusion. It's any expense that wouldn't have happened if not for the games aspect of things.

I need my flat to sit in while playing games so I'd better start adding my mortgage payments here every month. Oh, and my electricity bills.

myp · **Posted:** Thu Jun 14, 2018 10:18

Don't forget to subtract your salary from the total and offset that against any savings you have that may or may not be used for games.

Riles could do us a spreadsheet.

Mr Dave · **Posted:** Thu Jun 14, 2018 11:28

I'm not sure a spreadsheet full of cells saying "Fuck off" would be all that helpful.

I always need hard drives for my business though so I would have bought one in the near future anyway. This one just looks nicer.

Did you go for the professional installation?

For a usb drive. Purportedly for consoles....

Fair enough, I thought for a minute you'd bought a branded internal drive, which would've been bonkers. Isn't that one pretty over-priced though, based purely on the spec comparison at the bottom of the Amazon page? I'd have thought that when dealing with video files--which are generally chunky--that paying more for a drive with such a properly awful transfer rate is a pretty bad idea.

ETA: actually, belay that, it seems the Amazon page is just massively under-reporting the transfer rate of the SoT drive there.
