@Hacky McAxe do you know if there is a way of upgrading my PS+ subscription without extending it by a whole 12 months? Can't seem to find any other option other than that.
The best way of upgrading your PS+ is to probably just get a PC@Hacky McAxe do you know if there is a way of upgrading my PS+ subscription without extending it by a whole 12 months? Can't seem to find any other option other than that.
I probably will at some stage even though it will just turn into a money pit. I got a work laptop so my current laptop "broke" and I got a cash refund so that could contribute to it....but really I just want a month or two of the upgraded PS+ so I can finally pay GOT for a couple of dollars and the cat game lolThe best way of upgrading your PS+ is to probably just get a PC
You don't have to. When you upgrade it tell you how much it costs to upgrade based on how much time you have left on your subscription. If your subscription is about to run out then you can separately order a 1 month subscription. But a 12 month subscription costs so much cheaper than buying 12 x 1 month subscription.@Hacky McAxe do you know if there is a way of upgrading my PS+ subscription without extending it by a whole 12 months?

Yh I've got about 4 months left so it gives me the option of upgrading that and then saying I've got to pay $120 or whatever it is for the next 12 months after sub ends. Am I reading it wrong?

I think that's just saying that you have to pay if you don't cancel before your months is up.Yh I've got about 4 months left so it gives me the option of upgrading that and then saying I've got to pay $120 or whatever it is for the next 12 months after sub ends.

Hopefully it works like that, not worth having it long-term but good for a couple of months as there's a few good games. GOT is another I still haven't played and it's on there.I think that's just saying that you have to pay if you don't cancel before your months is up.
Cat game is cool. I finished it in about 4 hours so it's pretty short, but cool game.
It doesn't sound like you need it for anything too complex as printing boarding passes is pretty basic so you can keep your existing PC for that.Hey Dudes, i need to upgrade my main PC as it's getting old.
My questions is, do i keep it as is and do something else, I mainly use it to print random crap, Boaridng passes etc. and not a lot else as i have a Mac Book pro that i use for online shopping.
the only other main use i have it for is for my Plex Server, i ahve a 4TB drive conencted to it that has all my Movies and TV shows on it.
what other way can i have it connected to my TV? is a NUC a good idea, i probably need to backup my drive and i have 2TB worth of stuff on it and i lost them about 12 months ago, but luckily my boss was sub leasing to an IT company and he saved all my shit, but if it happens again im screwed.
what can i do?
NUCs are OK but they have their limits. Due to low processing power, they have some issues with any file that needs to decode. That said, if you got a NUC with a USB C or USB-3 connection and hooked up a hard drive, then you could run it directly off that without issue. Alternatively look at getting a small PC hooked directly to the TV.Hey Dudes, i need to upgrade my main PC as it's getting old.

Not really. The only other option is to store all your stuff on a NAS which uses less energy, but still runs all the time and usually will end up with encoding issues due to the crappy CPU in the NASAs my Samsung TV is old, i use the Google TV and Chromecast that is connected to that TV.
But the PC in questions needs to be online all the time, so was wondering if there was a better way
It's similar to a PC. You can set it to go in standby mode while your TV is off, but generally it stays on as it's powered by another source.so does the TV need to be on for me to use the app on my phone, or because the NUC is always online it will work

This guy on Reddit posted a photo of his retro setup. I think it's fair to say this bloke had an awesome childhood.
