    Limited Edition Zelda-themed Switch 2 images have leaked online

    Not sure how you're going to scalp this if Nintendo is known to make unlimited numbers. This is not that 30th anniversary that Sony pulled off and only made a handful of units. They make these in the millions.

    Limited Edition Zelda-themed Switch 2 images have leaked online

    The OLED model still has a long way since Nintendo isn't in the rush getting it out, though I believe the Lite model will come sooner than most people anticipate. I think EU regulatory mandates may have play a role in this since the OG Lite is getting phased out in Europe by early next year...

    Limited Edition Zelda-themed Switch 2 images have leaked online

    An OLED model will likely come after a Lite model launch. A revised model with an OLED maybe in 3 years. Launching an OLED model so soon would likely undermine the LCD since most would push to OLED. The good news, they are not alone working on one since RR are also on it as far as I can tell.

    Hardware Backlight shines through transparent shell of Switch Lite

    This isn't a broken display but rather a bad screen installation. It can be caused by two things, poor insulation (the foam piece) or a pinched local area because of the applied screws.

    Switch Lite (Mariko) stuck on Nintendo Switch logo in both OFW and CFW – eMMC OK, NAND Fix Pro L1/L2 didn't help

    Make a new emuMMC from that presumably corrupt NAND to check if it boots sucessfully or not. If its the same outcome you can start the unbricking process on your emuMMC until it boots past the Nintendo logo. If you get that fixed then you can move onto the real deal your eMMC. Why do it in this...

    Switch Lite (Mariko) stuck on Nintendo Switch logo in both OFW and CFW – eMMC OK, NAND Fix Pro L1/L2 didn't help

    I'm not sure how you determined your eMMC is ok since Hekate doesn't have any built-in utilities that determine the integrity of the system, it only shows partitions presence on the drive. You should always test your boot sequence on emuMMC because that should give you the signs if you have...

    Hacking New Switch 2 Userland Exploit found

    HOS has been released like 9 years ago? It would have already been cracked on gen one switch if there's any chance of a software exploit. There isn't and never will for any foreseeable future.

    Nintendo announces plans to discontinue Nintendo Switch line in Europe next year, outlines upcoming hardware changes for other devices

    This will not stop local vendors from importing devices from overseas further squeezing supply and might cause surge in prices for new devices in other regions. They only redesigned Joy-cons with removable batteries. They should have for the very least redesigned the Lite model because battery...

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

    This is how you condition the market to work in your favor; you squeeze it as much as you can then claim it's not doing well.

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

    We know its false and misleading. We also know why they want digital-only because they take a higher cut (30%) in their controlled environment where revenue is shared with the least number of parties. For physical their cut is much smaller usually half that amount (15%) in a form of royalty. But...

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

    I think they are the ones forcing that scenario because only prominent games get physical releases day one whereas the vast majority are indie titles that almost never get a physical release and even if they did it come very late like many months after when the momentum has already died out...

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

    It seems illegal because they attain a monopoly on the store where they alone set the prices. Apple and to less degree Valve (even though its false for Valve because PC is an open platform) have gotten a lot of heat from wallgardening storefronts where there's no competitors. What makes Sony any...

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

    Wouldn't this just end the secondary market? No more selling or lending games to friends and opens illegitimate account selling/trading on a larger scale as well as piracy.

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

    Its the same orange man granting these firms tax breaks while making record high earnings to enrich the few handful of investors while making the life of the normies miserable. Its easy to see why these companies have much say in the government when they lobby to pass legislation in their favor...

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

    You can hike and increase prices as much as they want but it will eventually reach a breaking point where the entire system collapses because it becomes unsustainable. Just waiting for the AI bros to be the first to get slapped and go bankrupt.

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

    Games that do not fit on a single disc can span multiple discs, that's what's been happening with games on PS4. And you can definitely play the entire thing on discs without downloading anything from the internet; you just be missing out on the latest game patches. But that's a tradeoff people...

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

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

    Are you sure? I'm only going by my local listing. 10 seconds of search led me to this: https://www.newegg.com/kingston-2tb-snv3s/p/N82E16820242903 $275 And this is retail price. Valve isn't buying components at retail. And even if they did, you're paying less than what they are paying at scale...

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

    We can deduce that 1.5 TB SSD is $300. That seems pretty steep when you can buy a 2 TB stick for less than $250. The 2 TB is not a good bargain.
