Fwiw i'm always amazed how indestructible these things are. They seem to last nearly forever for me. Shrug. Even when I'm playing a ton of Destiny. I see colors I want on sale, but I cant justify it when I still have one in use and one new in box backup to work through. Also Xbox controller are...

Wow so PS5 Pro is rumored (post I just read on Ree Era) to be 56 CU's at just 2 ghz? 14.33 Tflop. And 16 GB RAM? These seem to be the same type of leaks that correctly predicted PS5/XSX specs before release, as well...

Basically i always say to shoot low for nintendo hardware. They're cheap. However the Switch was pretty good by Nintendo standards given the portable aspect and timeframe. It's always a cycle with Nintendo hardware. Fanboys overestimate it prior to release out of wishful thinking. I remember...

Yeah that "mid gen refresh" Series X though is just a normal refresh with no change in CPU/GPU specs. Exactly as the PS5 "slim" making the rounds now. Xbox refresh has got goodies like wifi6 built in now (new southbridge, IIRC they were still using leftover Xbox One southbridges on Series!), but...

I agree, but it seems like that bridge got crossed a while ago starting with PS45 Pro/Xbox One X last gen, and continuing with Series S this gen. Console incrementalism is here. I'm not sure a variation on it matters that much. What difference does it make if it's "Series X Plus for 599" or just...

I am pretty sure based on public facing comments plus rumors MS is not interested in a Pro console this gen (perhaps foolishly, but time will tell). However most laughably Phil used a "wont somebody think of the developers" argument against pro consoles, when he already foisted the hated Series...

Some would disagree. Point is it's a matter of opinion not cut and dry when discussing exclusives. There are multiplat games where Series X shows an edge, recently Mortal Kombat 1 runs at a higher dynamic res than PS5 on XBSX, and Immortal of Aveum ran ~10 FPS better at points on X (relevant...

Kinda weird with MAC going ARM, that Xbox would embrace the architecture windows doesnt run well on (yet). That would make 2 of 3 consoles at least including Switch. Mobile of course. X86 is getting squeezed. I'm for it, just for something different. Majority of R&D is probably in mobile space...

For what the 8 geriatric guys who love vertical schmups? LOL.

Yeah you absolutely cannot beat the value of the chinese dou of hisense and TCL IMO. Since I'm on a budget theyre the only game in town for me since for an equal dollar, they will tend to crush Sony or Samsung in the specs that you get. I always look at either hisense or TCL as equivalent it...

I got a new TV, the Hisense 75U6H, a few months ago. Really wanted to step up to 75". It only maxes at ~600 nits as it is a budget setup. And it does not have 120hz, but I intentionally saved the $ there. I feel like 120 HZ is of dubious benefit when games havent mastered 60 FPS yet, few support...

Well having once again "quit" Destiny 2 for at least a while, I'm trying a few games. Gears 5 Hivebusters I never beat this crazily. Still playing a little at a time. Really enjoying it, and I realized why is cause hivebusters does not have any of the open world stuff they put in Gears 5. It's...

Maybe but as a semi-disappointed Xbox One X owner last gen dont expect too much. You just get a few minor doo dads, higher res of the same games. Nothing fundamental with mid gen refreshes versions of the games. They're still nice though, very nice for those who want the best possible console...

I was joking about that, I assume the added SSD weight of more actual storage is completely negligible. But hey maybe if ya'll say so...

interesting the 1tb s is 71 grams or 2.5 ounces lighter according to youtuber open surprise. new revision or is that not enough change? And that's even WITH the added weight of the additional 512GB of storage! :p
