But i feel it difficult to find new movies that have added value to watch in 4K atmos nowadays...or is it me? Appart from the marvels/hobbit and 90's blockbusters...it feels like a waste of money. Edit: of course add alien, nolans or the thing

Damn, sorry to send you in the wrong direction there. Wait until after the holidays... and maybe tax return season.

They were in stock not but a month ago. I got an e-mail from New Egg that had Zotac and 2 other 4090's with a huge heading that said "4090's back in stock".

I suspect the disruption will square itself out when we all go back to our seasonal depression in February.

I initially was super excited as I misread the title and thought they were creating a rust/corrosion removal laser from a blu-ray player. (Which would be f-ing incredible!!) I saw the model and it is the same on collecting dust on my entertainment center. 🤩🤩

Holy crap!! I can do this!! Then, I read the article. 😔 This went from level 1000 to 75. Still very cool though!
