You know there is a picture with black scribbles on it as part of this article, right? Those black scribbles are words, and address, specifically, this “point.”

Hey, maybe by then more than 15 people will have the RTX 3080

You’re all about talking out of your ass, aren’t you?

That’s a dumb take. They had just had 3 really cool pitches go badly. The best of them was Colonial Marines. Yeah. That’s the best one. They read a pitch for a 4th game and passed.

Oh man are you in for a treat. Bishop Briggs is amazing. Honestly, this song is mediocre compared to much of her stuff.

I’m sorry, but there is literally zero difference between a digital game and a disk based game when it comes to how much SSD space they take up. The games do NOT play off of disk (it is far too slow), so you MUST install the game onto your SSD. Whether your install it to an external SSD (transfering back and forth) or…

I never swapped out my 360 HDD, so I can’t speak to that. You might be right, but NVMe prices have been coming down pretty well for a while. I think we’re going to see them follow along with SATA SSDs. I might be optimistic with my 1TB for $100, but sadly, only time will tell. 

While I agree with you, I also partly disagree. NVMe drives are still very new, but as they become the default in laptops (as they are), and as they become the default in gaming prebuilds (as they are), and as the PS5 and Series X/S (as they are), manufacture will get cheaper and the price will come down. I would…

I don’t see any reason there won’t be a similar drop in prices. The tech in this is exactly the same as any other NVMe drive. It has a shell and a proprietary interface, but that’s all that’s different. I expect you’ll see the prices drop commensurate to the drop in compatible drives, and we’ll also see Samsung, WD,…

Yes and no. They are letting non-proprietary NVMe cards in their system, but it must meet certain specs (which are pretty damned stringent), and it will require more work (opening up the PS5). As of now, expanding the PS5 will cost about this much as well.

While I take your point, MS and Sony are fighting each other tooth and nail, and MS and Epic are not fighting each other at all. While there is SOME competition on the storefront, they are mostly partners. Working out a deal with a friend is significantly easier than working out a deal with your worst enemy. Sony…

Deathloop remains to be seen, but as a general rule, large exclusives are substantially funded by the that console, and contracts like that tend to get honored, even after massive sales to rivals.

Fortunately, Cerberus absolutely does not like having his two other heads petted, so we were able to use the time we otherwise would have spent on that on other significant features.

I mean, that sucks, but also, I don’t think there is any way around it with a system this cheap. It is $100 to buy a 1TB NVME drive (not even a particularly good one), and this is a $300 system. I’m curious to see if game makers will be able to reduce their install sizes because of the storage solution here: a fast…

It’s a curious position. The Series S is more powerful than the One X, in that it can do beautiful things that the X couldn’t dream of (ie: hardware ray-tracing, plenty with its faster cpu and gpu), but it’s also a system that is weaker than the One X (it literally has less RAM (12gb v 10gb), it can perform less…

Dude. You are looking at a glut of super cheap handsets in developing markets and drawing the wrong conclusions entirely. This case is in the United States. Apple holds something like 52% of the phone market in the United States (up from 45% last year) and HILARIOUSLY outperforms any single manufacturer of android…

The arguments are not as simplistic as you are making it, but that’s because you are being willfully ignorant in order to maintain some weird libertarian strain of being righteously indignant.

My guess is the latter: tacked on. 

My guess is the latter: tacked on. 

This is a huge huge deal. Value oriented consumers are going to be snagged by the $25/mo deal for the Series S (be careful not to abbreviate that one!) that includes and ENORMOUS library of “free” games (all of EA, all of MS, plenty of 3d party games). I snagged ultimate with the hilarious $1 deal until 2022, and have…

Ah, yeah, which has all the DLC. Probably why.
