Halfway through Yotei. It's okay, beautiful world that I feel lacks depth.

Liked Tsushima a lot more unless something changes.

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!

Unfortunately, console storage and memory prices have increased by more than 2.5x and we expect another doubling by the fall of 2027

On the bright side, the price hikes (including the inevitable PS5/Switch 2 ones) will shut up the smug console fans who shat talked the Steam Machine's price. At least for awhile.

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

Unfortunately, console storage and memory prices have increased by more than 2.5x and we expect another doubling by the fall of 2027.

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.
