Well that sucks, i guess were just gonna have to hook everything up to our brains for storage until the flood waters retreat. It may be our only solution until then.

saladthieves4978d ago

I can personally attest to this effect. I was looking at a nice 2TB HDD going for $90 and after just a couple of hours, it went into the $150s and I was like WTF??

decimalator4978d ago

Yeah, prices have already been going up. Most places don't keep a huge stock, so unless they can order from the manufacturer they may only have a few weeks worth of disks available. And when supply drops, but demand stays the same...

Damn, just when DCUO is about to crack my 120gb.

BigWoopMagazine4978d ago

oh sonnuvabich. I really need a new HDD, I should buy that sooner than I was planning on.

On a less self serving and egocentric note, damn that sucks for Thai land, I hope the people there see a speedy recovery.

Hopefully the monsoon lets off

akaFullMetal4978d ago

Better go buy your hard drives now, prices are going to be rising soon.

PirosThe4th4978d ago

I just checked ... here they are twice the price already FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU----

JsonHenry4978d ago

I'll pay the higher price. I just hope the people there recover quickly and well.

There isn't going to be an Xbox next gen, just a Microsoft branded PC that any manufacturer can make.

I mean it should be playable on the ROG Xbox Handheld PC.

Thank you for using the term "region" since that was always what happened. The amount of media that used the term country led to many misinformed people.

According to SteamDB Statistics:
"The use of the word "subdivisions" below refers to states, provinces, regions and other categories."

"Totals
As of december 2017, there are 250 countries, 4024 subdivisions and 45261 cities in Steam's location data."

Good these restrictions shouldn't have been in place to begin with
