For those of you who lost/broke a car alarm remote...?
So I broke my cars *aftermarket* alarm systems remote and have no idea where to begin with replacing the remote since the last owner was the one to get it installed. For anyone who had a similar issue: What did you do to replace it? Can you recommend any websites/stores that may be able to replace my remote? Please don't recommend the dealership. this is an aftermarket alarm system so they are no help.
If I have 41 digital PS4 games, should I switch to Xbox if the console is better?
why not switch to PC? PS4 games are coming to PC as well. in case your ps4 breaks you might be able to use your ps4 hard copies to allow sony to stream the game to your pc as long as the hard copy is in the optical drive. it might be a feature they announce
How many game consoles do you currently own?
Ever since I built my gaming PC back in 2010, I’ve focused solely on upgrading it and it alone. …Well, for the most part, anyway. I’ll get to that in a moment. The best thing about a PC is the eligibility of upgrade. I recently spent a bit of money to upgrade my motherboard and CPU since I’ve had it for 6 years. It still worked as if it were new, but the CPU was having problems. Anyway, I think I spent along the same amount of a new console. Most of the new games you can find on consoles are also released on PC (or are ported later). FPS with the mouse and keyboard are wonderful.I also have a Wii U because… I don’t know. I haven’t played it in two years, ignoring an hour or so of Super Mario Maker. What’s worse, I’m such an avid Legend of Zelda fan that I’m likely going to sell it and get a Nintendo Switch to play it—then again, I may just settle for the Wii U version. Hmmm.Finally, I have my 3DS XL. It’s probably my second-most used console, especially since Pokémon Sun and Moon came out today. It’s weird that I can sit at my computer and play my DS, but fortunately, I can take it around with me. I can’t deny that I’m looking forward to it for this reason as well. Woo Pokémon!I have been thinking about getting an emulator box for my television, though.
Can I sell my iPod Touch at Gamestop?
I think that you can, because they sell refurbished ones there. But, I was wanting to sell mine because it didn't work anymore. I just think that it's the USB cord that was wrong with it. Everytime I plugged it in my computer, it would say that it didn't recognized it. Before that, I would have to wiggle it around and hold it for the iPod to me connected. I have restarted the iPod Touch to see if that would help. I took everything off of it. But, I can't get back on it because it still won't recognize it and I have to plug it because of the iTunes thing. So, I just wanted to know if I could sell it there. If I do, would they be able to fix it? And yes, I know, that if they do fix it or whatever, that it would take the price out of it when I sell it.
When games get older, does those games become free?
It depends on how well the games have sold before or how well the public accepted them and how the company views the games. Most cases, those games that are good get expensive over time. There are times when they get bundled up with a console or get re-released which makes the prior release become cheaper. The only case that i can think of of games becoming free is either it is no longer supported or because it will only be free for a small period of time. Another scenario is when the game can be free but you would need to pay for game card and or points in order to strengthen your Avatar or in-game character.
What is your favorite old video game system?
The Super Nintendo Entertainment SystemIt was the third console my family had ever owned (mexican families share everything, we don’t really individually “own” anything until we move out) after the Atari 2600 and the original Nintendo Entertainment System.I used to live in a small town where the only real videogame entertainment were video arcade machines with games like Street Fighter, Galaga, PacMan and the like. We didn’t really have any large commercial stores either, so the nearest place where one could possibly find a videogame console for sale was in the state capital about 2 hour’s drive back then.I remember my dad bringing it home. He’d participated in some professional exchange program between the education departments of Mexico and the U.S. so there would be times when he’d be in the U.S. and would periodically be able to return to visit family. It was during one of these visits that he brought it back.My brother and I must have been one of the first few kids to own one in the entire town. It didn’t take long after for the console, and game cartridges, to be commonplace around town since most families had relatives in the U.S. But to be one of the first ones to have one in town was something that only rich kids could boast about back then.I was hooked with Super Mario World, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past and Tiny Toon Adventures: Buster Busts Loose! Later on I’d discover gems like Mega Man X, Chrono Trigger, Super Metroid, Donkey Kong Country and Star Fox to name a few.The acquisition of the SNES began my lifelong hobby of gaming. Which led to my inquiry as to how games were made, which led to my interest in software development and now that is what I do for a living. These are just a few reasons as to why the SNES is my favorite classic, not old, gaming system.
Gamestop product replacement plan what does it cover?
Our Product Replacement Plan covers everything except it being lost or stolen. It's designed to offer a service that most manufacturer warranties won't cover. Now some managers may get picky because they want to try and sound all tech pro, but tellem to f*** off. When we pitch it our exact phrasing is meant to be "Would you like to purchase our Product Replacement Plan for xx.xx? It covers everything that could happen to your system outside of it being lost or stolen. Simply bring it in and we can exchange your system at no cost." What we mean by that is if it's broken we simply take it send it out in defective shipment, let someone else fix it and then once we get it back, we sell it. So in the end, don't worry, as long as you're bringing the system in and the cords, we'll exchange it no cost.
If it's confirmed the PS5 will really run the games of the previous PlayStations, are you going to start buying games you have sold?
This is a revenue model question and as we can see so far, Sony can remaster older games for the PS4, like CoD Modern Warfare, Shadow of the Colossus and God of War but you have to buy these remastered copies as they don’t want you playing old games on a new machine.So the answer is no, I do not see how the PS5 is going to run older games that is backward compatible. The revenue model would be flawed and it doesn’t encourage people to buy new hardware if they already own the older system.The business approach has always been to force the consumer to ante up on a proprietary system to play games and once they have the hardware, they are locked into the Sony platform until the product life cycle ends.What’s more, if you are familiar with the PC emulator scene, there are already ways to run PS3 games using such emulators that makes the buying of old PS3 hardware obsolete.I am sure when the PS5 finally arrives, there would be a working PS4 emulator for PC users to download and play older games.This is why the backward compatibility is never a big deal with console hardware. It makes no business sense.
