Experience survival horror like never before in Resident Evil Village. Elevate each desperate fight to survive by showcasing the most realistic and terrifying graphics to date. The all-new title is the eighth major installment in the storied Resident Evil franchise, which established the survival horror genre nearly 25 years ago. The title is currently in development using Capcom~s proprietary RE Engine, used to create vivid gameplay experiences in hit titles such as Resident Evil~ 7 biohazard, Resident Evil~ 2, Resident Evil~ 3, and Devil May Cry~ 5. With hyper-detailed graphics, intense first-person action and masterful storytelling, the terror has never felt more realistic and inescapable. Set a few years after the horrifying events in the critically acclaimed Resident Evil 7 biohazard, the all-new storyline begins with Ethan Winters and his wife Mia living peacefully in a new location, free from their past nightmares. Just as they are building their new life together, tragedy befalls them once again. Chris Redfield, the legendary hero from the Resident Evil series, is reacquainted with the couple and horribly disrupts their life, spiraling Ethan into chaos. A devastated Ethan finds himself in a remote snow-capped village seeking answers after being thrown into an entirely new nightmare.

A Good Entry For RE 8
on May 21, 2021
Posted by: Miacosa
Verified Purchase:Yes
If you like Resident Evil 4 & 7 then you will enjoy this latest entry although on the shorter side at 10-12 hours. It's not as scary as 7 either but leans more on the action side of things like RE 4.

This product was great for shucking the hard drive and using it in a Synology NAS. The 8TB WD Red drive was a lot cheaper to purchase this way rather than a bare version,

A guilty pleasure
on April 17, 2021
Posted by: Miacosa
Verified Purchase:Yes
This movie is often ridiculed but I find it entertaining in a campy way and is a guilty pleasure. The film transfer is okay but you can tell that its an old film its not crisp like modern 4KUHD movies of today.

So far so good a nice upgrade from the Xbox One X. However, have yet to experience the real next gen features as most games that I've played are optimized but nor specifically designed for the new hardware.

Superior to BOTW in someways
on March 21, 2021
Posted by: Miacosa
Verified Purchase:Yes
A nice game that in some was is superior to BOTW. If you enjoy the Assassins Creed games but want something lighthearted that can be played by the whole family this game should be on the short list. It also has lots of content that will give your money's worth especially for the $30 sale price.

Okay for some hands

The mouse was good but the ergonomics was hurting my hand. Once making the switch to the Logitech G903 LIGHTSPEED the cause of the hand pain went away. This mouse lies flatter but not as flat as the Apple Magic mouse which causes tendinitis.

Any issues running two sets for a total of 64gb, with all four DIMM slots populated on AsusStrixZ790-E. Would this be stable with XMP profile enabled? Memory is on QVL list. Any one having issues with this Dual Channel on any Z790 or even Z690? Thanks!

Not sure about 64gb, but running 32gb on the ASUS ROG STRIX Z790-E GAMING WIFI motherboard (DIMM A2|B2) seems buggy if the BIOS memory settings are other than Auto. The PC will not post if XMP is enabled at least for me it doesn't post. Hoping for a motherboard update past BIOS 703 will fix this issue.

Meta Quest Pro is a virtual reality system that unlocks new perspectives into how we work, create, and collaborate, so you can go beyond what was previously possible. A completely reimagined headset is slimmer and more well-balanced for long-lasting comfort. Breakthrough high resolution mixed reality passthrough uses full-color sensors to let you see and engage with the physical world around you~even as you connect, work and play in virtual spaces. Multiple room-sized displays let you skip between tasks to get more done, more easily. Connect better with friends or collaborate with peers like never before with real-time avatar expressions that mirror your authentic facial reactions. Intuitive, redesigned controllers dispense with tracking rings, using self-tracking cameras to capture a greater range of motion and fine motor controls to translate detailed finger operations like writing and drawing into VR. Advanced multi-point haptic feedback makes virtual interactions feel more real. Meta Quest is for ages 13+. Certain apps, games, and experiences may be higher.
 

Are the side shields for the Quest pro included with the purchase or are they an additional cost? Not sure what actually comes included with the $1,499.00 price tag. There is no txt with the picture of included items. can you list included items?

The light blockers are extra:
