Except it's time consuming and requires you to get up and physically insert the disc. Plus off hdd, you can easily stream it anywhere...

Ok... assuming the audio inputs can be changed to outputs... you lose analog inputs which isn't great either.

I guess I missed where amd has released apus on normal skus on this gen. But still, I don't like being forced to buy a specific cpu just because the uber expensive mobo cheaped out on adding outputs...

But if that was the case, you'd need a cpu with an gpu (who is going to put a ryzen apu in a topend mobo??)... so really scummy. How the hell is my $140 asrock have proper 7.1 analog and optical but not this pos lol

compression with surround isn't really the issue. it's that the newer dolby/DTS stuff needs more bandwidth. imo, 2.1 is more than enough for 95% of pc users.

wait... the specs say 7.1 audio... but it only has stereo out?

Why would I cry when I'm already expected to pay 20% on top??

Maybe I don't know... maybe restaurants can charge actual cost for food and labour and pay people their worth... but nah, just pass on the cost to the consumers by blind charity.

It's just perception. It's the some bullshit logic why sale taxes are not included in the price and calculated at purchase.... makes the product seem cheaper than it actually is.

Fury road had a lot of practical effects though. Obviously there's still a lot of cgi of shots that is either impossible to do for real, or to enhance the effects and the scene, but almost all the action was all done the same way the originals were done in the 80s.
