I have to say, im super impressed with the switch 2! After playing Breath of the Wild and now just started playing Metroid Prime 4 and being blown away how it looks! I have so many seemingly great games to play, quite hyped!
PlayStation and Xbox Console Sales Collapse Following Damaging Price Rises
May was a catastrophic month for PlayStation and Xbox sales in the U.S., driven by price rises that have clearly had a significant impact on consumer interest in buying a new console.
It's only going to get worse.
So there have been quite a few memory related price hits this week or so. Steam machine, Xbox and then Apple as well. None of it was surprising but this specific line in the Microsoft note just completely spooked me
GTA6 has got to be worth it.
So I ended up ordering a grey market PS5 pro. Paid through the nose for it because Sony hasn't released this model officially in my country and, in fact, hasn't sent any PS5 hardware here at all for at least 3 months (since the price hike happened). Technically we don't know what the new price of the PS5 is because they never sold a single console after raising the prices.
GTA6 has got to be worth it.
I spent the past day configuring my tv and console setup to run more smoothly. The starting point was ordering the expensive HDMI switch GUIDE-4 from thenaudio to be able to connect more devices to my lg g5 tv without annoying manual switching. I now have my windows PC connected to HDMI 1, an earc soundbar switching between Apple TV and another media player connected to HDMI 2, my custom SteamOs Machine connected to HDMI 3 and the GUIDE-4 switching between Switch 2 and Playstation 5 Pro connected to HDMI 4. There is even room to add two additional HDMI devices to the GUIDE-4.
The GUIDE-4 works well. There were some quite severe handshaking issues with the Playstation 5 Pro, but they were completely solved by disabling HDCP, which I have no use for anyway.
The best part of all of this is that I think I am finally over the Steam Machine hype. I have no need for it with my current setup. The price is too high for a device that will perform much worse than my custom machine, especially after upgrading RAM, the internal SSD and so on. I should probably remove myself from the waitlist at this point ...

This seems like Nintendo's take on looter shooter. I love Salmon Run so this one seems to be a potential fun time, too. Nice, another game to get in the future

Maybe people should start sending literal physical letters to their local Sony office, if only because it will piss them off. But it may also make a point.
