Why wouldn't they stock the ME Legendary Edition, that makes zero [censored] sense. I get games like Judgement , 13 Sentinels and Atelier but ME is a big triple AAA franchise .

WTH!¯\_(ツ)_/¯

We mainly focus on local as importing can come with certain restrictions too - but if w eget enough demand we import

@Ghost - yeah for sure, I also only buy physical where possible. I like actually owning the product and having it in a collection. But times are changing and with direct to consumer sales, gaming retailers will mainly be for limited/ collectors editions, merch and hardware

In todays very heavy PC culture, where everything offends everybody. A lot of old movies/shows are getting censored. So if you collect physical media, then you have the original version.
Watching Scrubs on dvd, & a lot of that stuff would not fly today lol

@Tea. Thanks for the reply. I'm just disappointed, because i only buy physical copies. I hate digital. With physical copies i can take it to my friends house and i display all my games on my gaming wall. First it was Kena Bridge of Spirits and now It Takes Two. One day all gaming retailers will close down when everything is digital

Any chance you'll have stock of Judgement PS5 or KeyWe for Switch

Diverse tastes, I know

@Ghost- They actually allocate software per territory and we unfortunately are a digital only territory - we almost didn't get ME legendary edition in SA.

We are still trying to source physical but often it limited releases, which makes units hard to find

Intel Core i5 Rocket Lake-S CPU Still Behind AMD in Leaked Benchmarks

by Keegan Govender on 21 January, 2021

Intel's latest silicon has debuted on Geekbench, giving us a glimpse of their upcoming Rocket Lake-S CPU lineup beyond the already leaked Intel Core i9-11900K. The Core i5-11400 still manages to bring better performance, but still lacks the necessary horsepower to contend with AMD's offerings. Well, according to the leak, that is.

According to the Geekbench listing, the Core i5-11400 features 6 cores and 12 threads and will be based on the 14nm Cypress Cove architecture, which Intel states will be able to deliver double-digit IPC gains over the Skylake platform. As for clock speeds, the Intel Core i5-11400 boasts a 2GHz base clock and a 4.4GHz boost clock. Its predecessor, the Core i5-10400, features a higher base clock of 2.9GHz but a low boost clock of 4.3GHz. When it comes to performance, Geekbench 5 benchmarks show that the Rocket Lake-S CPU is on roughly 9% faster than its predecessor.

The desktop processor racked up a single-core score of 1248 and a multi-core score of 6197. According to Videocardz, we're looking at an ES2 engineering sample, which should offer similar performance as retail units. These scores translate to a 12% jump over the predecessor in single-core performance, and 9% boost in multi-core performance.

While the Intel Core i5-11400 manages to come close to the Core i7-8700K in performance, it still falls short of AMD's Ryzen 5 5600X. The Zen 3 processor manages around 30% higher performance on both single-core and multi-score scores compared to Intel's upcoming Rocket-Lake S chip.
