    You could probably sell what you listed for $150 on a gaming group and get a sale easily enough (though I'm no expert on PS4 game prices), but what are the other 5 games (you said 11 but only listed 6, unless those "remastered" games are multi-game disc's)?

    Oh since you're selling them $100 is too cheap if they are in good condition. Personally I'd sell them individually and price them like this: The Nathan Drake Collection and Uncharted 4 could easily get $40 each. Add another $30 for Return to Arkham and $20 for Arkham Knight. Crash is really popular at the moment so I'd put $50 on that one because it's held it's value so far. Not sure on Lost Legacy, as I'm not sure if that is selling well or not, try $40 as it's a very recent release.

    Can't say how I came to this conclusion but I now realise how shitty your average gamer is at playing a racing game like Forza, Gran Turismo or Project Cars properly.

    I'm not sure what Project Cars' online scene is like but if Forza and Gran Turismo are serious about having their multiplayer modes recognised as official championships by motor racing organisations like the FIA with major prize money, trophies and champagne they need to think again. I'm sure at the actual finals at race meetings like Le Mans the competitors can behave themselves and not treat it like bumper cars but at the entry point to the championships your average multiplayer race on Xbox Live or PSN is going to be farce.

    Gran Turismo Sport better have a robust offline mode because I'm not going to be trying to qualify for any of their championships.

    Batman is multi disc. Crash and uncharted are multi games.

    Ah fair enough. Well I saw Crash Bandicoot: N-Sane Trilogy (guessing that's what you have) sell within 12 hours on a buy/sell/trade group for $30 so if they are all as popular at the moment you should be able to easily sell them and get $150-200.
    Good rule of thumb is look how much a game costs brand new and minus 40% from the price, Crash for example is $49 at JB hi fi so if you price yours 40-50% off ($25-30) you'll get the sale. Too close to the new price and people will generally just go pay the little bit extra for the new copy.

    This morning WWE 2K18 was announced for PC just two weeks before it's due out for console and PC and it's $50AUD cheaper on Steam than on Xbox Line for the version with all the content included. I canceled my Xbox One preorder right away and I'm going to get it on Steam some time before release. It's a good thing Microsoft don't charge for preorders until the game is about to be released and they cancel orders and give refunds when needed easily. If I bought it on PlayStation I'd be shit-out-of-luck because they still refuse to give refunds which is against the law.

    Not quite, according to Australian Consumer Law, "change of mind" is not a valid reason for demanding a refund. Some retailers/stores might accept it, but it's not required. Faulty and flawed game? Yeah that's grounds for a refund.

    I was referring to their blanket refusal to give refunds not a change of mind policy, but any halfway decent store allows for change of mind. Anyway just looked up their current policy and looks like as of May they now allow refunds as long as you haven't started the download, which means if the game is broken like the last WWE 2K games I bought on PSN was a couple of years back they would still refuse you and that is still against the law. Yes they don't have to give change of mind, but until this change there was no refunds at all, that is illegal and the fact they refuse to give refunds if you have downloaded it would still be illegal since you don't know if the game is broken until you try it. This is the type of BS customer service that I hate about Sony and why I normally don't buy third party titles for my PS4 unless there is a very good reason to do so like the PC and/or Xbox version is broken but the PS4 version is fine.

    Finally finished Starcraft Remastered. Never tried the Starcraft series and was waiting for the original to get updated before giving it a crack. By about the 3rd last mission in the campaign I started feeling bored, so I just money-cheated my way through the game.

    Not feeling the urge to slug through the Brood War expansion so I'll play some Uncharted Lost Legacy and have a break before getting back into the RTS genre.

    Doom which appeared as a huge surprise. Yeah, it will never be 4K 60fps but it is very much playable, looks good and you can take it on the go.

    This sets a standard that any new game that comes out can be easily adapted for the Switch as we can also see with the upcoming Wolfenstein.

    Very exciting times for the Switch. for short length games like Wolfenstein I will stick with PC gaming for the best graphics as they are only a few hours of gameplay. However for large open world games similar to Skyrim or Fallout, I will seriously consider the Switch as those games require insane amount of hours (hundreds) and being able to play on the go would be very handy even with the lower graphics. If only there was a way to share save games between platforms...

    When it comes to AAA gaming on the go, I have tried to use the Nvidia streaming feature with my phone and a bluetooth controller (on a frame like a handheld). It works remarkably well as I was playing Doom 2016 on my bed yesterday. Unfortunately on the go internet in Australia is still too primitive and expensive to work. Most only have a 1Mbps upload so you immediately get a graphical hit although still playable if you get a stable connection. Unfortunately the instability of our mobile networks, specially on the train kills it in the areas where it would be handy.

    Given that the NBN is such a fraud, I don't expect the above to be rectified anytime soon sadly.
