Elgato vs Budget Capture Cards

I’m planning to buy a capture card for streaming my PS5 to my PC, but I’m having a hard time justifying spending around ₹20,000 on an Elgato.
Are cheaper alternatives like UGREEN, NZXT, EVGA, AVerMedia, or other brands actually reliable? How’s the video quality, latency, audio sync, and long-term durability compared to Elgato?
For those who use non-Elgato capture cards, have you run into any issues or are they perfectly fine for casual streaming and content creation?
Basically, is Elgato really worth the premium, or am I just paying for the brand?
Would love to hear your experiences before I pull the trigger.

If you’re planning to buy GTA VI at launch anyway, the pre-order bonuses are essentially free extras on top of the base game.
What do you guys think? Good enough to pre-order, or were you expecting more? 👀

Anyone know how to get a GTA 6 disc on launch day in Kerala?

Planning to grab GTA 6 physically and was wondering how people here usually handle big game launches.
Do any stores in Kerala do launch-day pickup, or are we all just praying to the delivery gods? 💀
I’m pretty new to console gaming (and buying games legitimately in general), so I have no clue how the logistics usually work for major releases like this.
Part of me wants to go digital and start playing immediately, but I’d prefer owning the disc if I can get it close to launch. How do you guys usually do it?

Did I make the right call buying a PS5 before the upcoming restock?

I recently picked up a used PS5 Slim for ₹47k, and with the next restock expected soon, I’m starting to wonder if I jumped the gun.
Part of the reason I bought it was the uncertainty around stock and the global PS5 price hikes we’ve been seeing. India hasn’t been affected yet, but I wasn’t sure how long that would last.
Now I’m curious what everyone thinks. Do you expect the upcoming restock to stay at current prices, or is there a chance we’ll see a price increase here as well? And how does stock availability look from what you’ve been hearing?
Not looking for validation, just interested in the community’s take on where things are headed.

Am I Getting Scammed?

Delhivery package stuck at Kochi hub for 5 days – anyone faced this?

I ordered an item from Lazybun and the expected delivery date was 19 June. The shipment reached the Kochi (Cochin) Delhivery hub around 5 days ago and has been sitting there ever since.

Yesterday the tracking status changed to “Out for Delivery”, but the package was never delivered and there was no call from the delivery executive. Today the status still hasn’t updated and I haven’t received the parcel.

I’ve already contacted the seller and am planning to raise a complaint with Delhivery as well.

Has anyone else experienced a package getting stuck at the Kochi Delhivery hub for several days? If so:

Any advice would be appreciated.
