I pay like $3 a piece at the gas station when I don't want to roll the dice on the day-old sausage biscuit when I get my morning coffee... so yeah, a good deal

Game Pass options have always been a mixed bag of crappy options.. unless you just fork over for Ultimate whatever.

A few weeks ago I'd laugh at anyone looking at insurance options like this for their GPU. But today... with RAM where it is... maybe I've changed my mind. If you have a GPU today, you probably should do everything you can to protect it - no telling when/if you'll be able to replace it, let...
