the steam cube has the chadwarden factor, its slick, its grown up and mature. you put it in the living room and you can tell non-gamer guests its a roku. you may even start having non-gamer guests over if you don’t already. you can download criterion collection torrents and play MUGEN on it. personally thats all i ever wanted

ps2 slim best looking console entirely because of discreetness

I watched this without sound and something about this looks okay despite it showing you blasting monsters with a shot gun a few seconds in. It’s way more action than you’d expect from a Hellraiser, but is there any chance this’ll be like Clive Barker’s Undying? (Even if it gives more Condemned vibes.)

The best looking console is a horizontal OG stock PS5.

This US gaming crash is so much lamer than the last one, as is the trend I suppose

most of the Destiny 2 team is gone, a few Marathon people are gone. That’s pretty much it for big studios in the Seattle area.

I still kind of think they should just launch the PS6 at whatever insane price it costs end of next year on the basis that it won’t get better inside of a reasonable launch window anyhow and at least then the price goes down over time like it used to

Wait so how much is an Xbox now? Like $700? $800?

Currently $650 for a Series X with no disc drive. That’s going to go to $750. The version with the disc drive will go up to $800. Those are for the 1TB model. The 512GB models will be $50 cheaper. They’re discontinuing the 2TB models.

a 1TB Xbox Series X with disc drive is currently 650 American dollars and will be 800 once this price hike is effective. a Series S is 400 now and will cost the same as a Switch 2 at 500 after its bump

the 2TB Xsex was shoved in a sack and thrown in the river

It’s quaint to think we were all scoffing at the cost of a PS5 Pro ($699) two years ago

I got the Series X on a sale in 2023 for $350 and now it feels like you’ll never find a game console sell for under $500 ever again.
