Looks like GMG will start selling Playstation and Xbox games soon....

If their 20% off coupons work with console games then it's a big deal. Otherwise just another msrp digital store.

Arma 3 Apex DLC July 11. Pretty much the only reason why I watched the PC Gamer Show. Everything else is VR related and type of games I don't even like.

This was all I cared about for E3 to be honest. Glad it is around the corner. Being able to play future XBox games on PC was just icing on the cake. Good times now and ahead for us in the master race.

Picked up a Steam Link since it was on sale. Great little device. Lag time is really impressive

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

Ok Guys I am having an issue with my Samsung 850 Pro 512gb ssd

I used it after i bought it for my xbox one as an external and all was fine and games booted quick. Issue is that earlier today I went to xb1 dash board and decided to swap the SSD from side USB to the back to hid the enclosure

When I went to plug it in it would not recognize it any longer. I disconnected it and connected it and all ports and nothing. I rebooted the console and nothing. I even did a factory reset on xbox and nothing. It recognizes USB media but not external drive.

So I turned on my old laptop and installed the disc that came with the ssd and i am not sure what I might had done but my drive all of a sudden showed no gb used and 470gb available when it is to be 512gb

I did not put to much stock in it but then tried it again on the xbox and nothing. I tried it on my other xbox and nothing.

So I went and installed it on my PS4 and it erased all and started fresh on ps4 but it has much less space then it should. I have tried this drive on ps4 last week when i got it and it had after what sony takes to use for the OS it remained from 512gb to about 460 or so. But now it starts with just 369gb

No way it can go from 512gb to 369....

Any idea what I might have done or can it be fixed?

I wanted to get one while it was on sale last week but it went out of stock. Managed to grab a discounted controller though.

Went into Microcenter today and tried out the Vive. I wasn't all that into VR before today, but now I kind of want one.

Yeah I hosted a party just so all my friends could try one. I haven't used it a ton since for a variety of reasons (sick, haven't been into some of the recent titles, and reduced my footprint back to standing rather than room-scale) but no regrets about picking it up.

That being said, really looking forward to future headsets with higher resolution. Sure it's neat watching some of a movie on a massive virtual screen, but you can't play games traditional games for the most part in the same setting because the resolution is too low and you lose all the text in a game like World of Warcraft.

Nice. My concern is just how much use I'll get out of it. If Project Cars vr implementation turns out to be solid and if there are a few other games that are great, I feel like I could get a lot of use out of it.
