For those of us in our 40s who had an Amiga...

Ellewood doesn’t have an optical drive, at least not according to any of the leaks I saw. I’d be surprised if they added a part that would increase manufacturing costs (even if only marginally) on their cheaper and lower-powered model, and that doesn’t even factor in their clear overall push to digital-only.

While I agree that letting all those rumors unattended for a good week was not a good marketing move, and made it look like the company is a bit “directonless” like you said, to say it did “untold damage” to the brand sound like the sort of drivel a die-hard irrational fanboy would say.

That would be great. My oft-stated worry is that Microsoft will pivot to a set of offerings that do not involve an actual console on which you can install games locally (I would be shocked if the Series X doesn’t end up being their last console that can use physical media, which is bad enough). That is, your two…

I feel pretty certain that Xbox is going to be around for at least one more console generation. It would take Sony putting Game Pass on the PS, or a vast improvement in cloud gaming, for that to be any different.

Orange stain? Sounds like the new “presidential model.”

My comments stands. I take back nothing. 

Kotaku in this review is being disingenuous about the updated graphics with those comparison pics. That’s not how the updated graphics look on your TV. They look sharp and crisp. They look like this...

It’s annoying that they edited it, but I’m more annoyed by people giving her shit for her voice cracking. Like, it happens to every singer. You can’t predict it or account for it, it just happens sometimes. And she recovered from it as smoothly as you possibly can.
