    Sony is moving away from physical discs, will soon only release PlayStation games digitally

    Even though I knew this was gonna happen eventually, it's still a shock to see it officially confirmed. Depending on what Nintendo does with the "Switch 3", looks like dedicated consoles are over for me after over 40 years of primarily gaming that way. Since consoles will no longer have...

    Xbox to increase in price again in August, Series S set to hit $500

    It will mean that there are enough wealthy people buying games and hardware to keep the industry afloat, I guess. I was originally gonna hold off as if things were normal and I could just buy one later at the launch price when games I want to play are out, but the Steam Deck prices shocked me...

    Xbox to increase in price again in August, Series S set to hit $500

    ALL hardware with RAM and storage WILL continue to go up in the near future. 1782502021 It absolutely will. Nintendo producing a huge amount of consoles before the prices went up too much turned out to be a great decision in hindsight - it's the reason they can wait until Sept. to raise it. The...

    Steam Summer Sale goes live, various titles discounted by varied amounts

    Considering the way pricing is going, don't worry about adding to your backlog. You might be glad you have it when non-wealthy people become priced out of new consumer hardware.

    Xbox to increase in price again in August, Series S set to hit $500

    I'm morbidly curious to see. So far, only consoles that previously were sold at sane prices for years have been priced over $500 for base models, so they already have install bases to sell games to. The Steam Machine isn't required in any way to play Steam games. What happens when the lowest...

    Grand Theft Auto VI pre orders go live tomorrow, physical release limited to code in box

    If my wife is interested in playing it as well I'll get it, but if not there's no way I'm paying $80 for it. EDIT: There's a rumored actual physical disc coming out in Dec. I'll hold off and consider getting that at some point if it happens.

    Steam Machine waiting list goes live, starting at £879 with a 512GB SSD

    Valve's biggest hardware success story by far, the Steam Deck, has sold, what, maybe 5 million units? And that was largely because of its portability. The Steam Machine was always going to be very niche even before the RAMpocalypse. Now it will be even more niche.

    Steam Machine waiting list goes live, starting at £879 with a 512GB SSD

    I wasn't planning to get a Switch 2 any time soon, but after seeing those Steam Deck prices I grabbed one ahead of the (first) price hike. It went from way too expensive compared to other handheld prices to being the cheapest by a wide margin.

    Steam Machine waiting list goes live, starting at £879 with a 512GB SSD

    Same. It's guaranteed I won't be willing to pay the asking price for the PS6. Here's hoping the Switch 2 being supported for the next 6 or so years means games will come out that target being able to play on low end hardware.

    Anyone else living life drug free?

    Aside from prescription medication, yes. Never had any interest in drugs, alcohol, or coffee. Who needs an addiction to them when I have video games to be addicted to?

    Steam Deck gets a major price bump, more than 40% increase for US buyers

    Considering it's been sold out for months, no, they don't.

    Steam Deck gets a major price bump, more than 40% increase for US buyers

    I guess I should thank Nintendo for having such a horrible Switch 2 reveal that it made me get a Steam Deck in 2025. Seems like a damn steal now. EDIT: And the RAMpocalypse pricing has me seriously considering getting a Switch 2 before the price hike in Sept., since it's very likely there will...

    Looks like another 7/10 Midtendo game. Time will tell.
