Welp, I hope all of the consoles & accessories for the Oct/Nov drops are already in the states... or else.

Oh, and an extra special shout out to the pre-order scalpers, GLWS... :evil:

Is this in reference to the port/longshoreman strike? If so, that's all east coast.

Yeah, its mostly cali but depending on the final leg of the supply chain + size of the shipment, they can also be slated for any of the majors in GA/FL/NY/TX.

I would hope all of the Oct. 10 stuff was in dist. centers back in august but we'll see... Everything should still make it eventually, but delays = turbo scalper-geddon.

Really good article.

PS5 Pro is going to be more important than people give it credit for.
PS6 is probably going to have more custom hardware for Machine Learning and AI and I also expect PSSR to be much better in 4 years time.
All of this will be from what Sony and devs learn now from the Pro.

It's a good thing Sony took matters into their own hands in making custom silicon instead of waiting on AMD to deliver a DLSS competitor.

PS6 might not even be as expensive as people think it will be if they can use tech like PSSR to do the heavy lifting just like DLSS is doing for Nvidia GPUs.
 
I hope they learn not to price the PS6 @ $700. lol

I know people are scared of this but I don't see it happening. $699 is not a mass market price.
They will sell PS6 at break even or a slight loss initially to draw people in and make money with software as always.

Even when Sony had the biggest dominance with PS2, they were taking a $400 loss on each PS3 sold.
Adjusted for inflation, the 60GB PS3 is over $900.

Pro can get away with a higher price because it's a mid-gen optional upgrade. I'm pretty sure the profit margins are higher on the pro so it's not a market penetrating SKU but one to test new tech and make some more extra profit.
 
Are these Star Wars game any good?

Haven't played time myself but both Fallen Order and Jedi Survivor are highly regarded.

EYE am sure a few regulars in here have played at least one and can speak about them first hand.

I have played and got the plat for both games. They’re ok but I don’t think they’re great or anything revolutionary. I’m also not a SW fan though. Unfortunately, the thing that stands out the most to me is how terrible the maps are.
 
Both are decent games but were full of bugs/technical issues when I played Fallen Order on PS4 and Jedi Survivor on PS5.
I have no idea if they have been patched since so it may be a moot point.

Jedi Survivor is extremely boring for the first half of the game, I almost just stopped playing. Thankfully the story picks up after that
 
Really thought I claimed MLB the Show when it was a monthly PSN game. Guess I never did damn. You can’t claim old games anymore right?
