    Xbox might be preparing to keep physical games around for longer

    Makes sense and it'd be an easy PR win. I also hope they re-think their component acquisition strategy too - seems like one of the biggest failures of Spencer was not stockpiling components (unlike Sony who was able to weather the AI storm a bit longer).

    AI-First Is the Word at Epic Games, as the Fortnite Maker Has Reportedly Told Staff to Have All Art for the Upcoming Disney Shooter Generated

    I dunno, I wouldn't be surprised if this move was driven as much by Disney as it is Epic. AI trained on actual Disney art (with access to legal copyrighted work) would probably create some decent results and give Disney information on how to replace their own artists, or at least produce...

    Sony Wants to Make It Easier for You to Pay by Adding Credit Card Processing to Its Controllers

    Yeah, that's kinda gross. Nevermind trying to bring technology into game controllers to improve gameplay, lets make it easier for Sony to make money.

    Sony Going Disc-Less Could Be a Part of a Larger Strategy for the PlayStation 6 Being a Portable Device to Go “Beyond the Living Room”

    Yeah, I'd be interested in a hybrid console too. The Switch 2 has been alright for me, but I've been disappointed by the quality of their 3rd party games compared to PS5 and PC. Recent example would be Trails in the Sky Ch1 - currently on sale for Switch 2 (and Playstation), and it performs...

    NVIDIA and SEGA Reunite After 30 Years, Bringing Classic Franchises to RTX Spark

    I'd be interested in a new Nvidia+Sega partnered Shield console/handheld powered by RTX Spark.

    7900xtx Nitro+ vs 9070 xt Taichi?

    Sounds like a worthwhile sidegrade to me - plus the niece happiness gains pushes the sidegrade into upgrade territory.

    should Xbox follow PlayStation & stop selling games on Steam ?

    If MS made the Helix store tightly integrated with the new Xbox experience (games are optimized 'out of the box', seamless crossplay/crosssave, etc) and third party stores are "behind a desktop" (user has to go into desktop mode, install the launchers, install the games, properly configure -...

    Xbox’s Next-Gen Console Has Been “Fully Approved” by Microsoft, It’s Claimed as Console Gamers Attempt to Cope with More and More Games Com...

    Looking forward to it - less so about the hardware, but more about the software. I'm hoping we're going to see a trim and fit XboxOS (Windows) that takes a lot of inspiration from SteamOS. I only ran it for a bit, but I like the direction MS is taking with the 'Xbox Fullscreen Experience' (or...

    Valve Announces New Hardware for 2026, Including a New Steam Machine and the Steam Frame VR Headset

    I'm looking forward to it - I've really bought into that 'SteamOS' environment (currently using a ROG Ally running Bazzite) and really wanted to replicate that experience on my desktop. I came close running various distros, but not perfect (typically my quick resume doesn't function 100% of the...

    Rockstar Announces Yet Another Delay for Grand Theft Auto VI Following Layoffs and Accusations of Union Busting

    If MS can pull that off - maybe there will be a PC port at launch!

    Microsoft Brings Xbox Full Screen Experience to Compatible Mobile Devices

    I installed it on my original Ally Z1E and am impressed by it so far, feels like a good foundation to build off of. Just being able to control so much with only the gamepad feels like a huge step compared to the old setup (lots of touchscreen navigation). I also believe it's still in alpha...

    Rockstar Announces Yet Another Delay for Grand Theft Auto VI Following Layoffs and Accusations of Union Busting

    That game was a slow burn, but when it finally did get its hooks in me - it was a great experience. By the end of it, it felt like the epic Western tragedy that I was expecting. But, yeah, took me two or three attempts to get past that initial slog.

    Early Testing of ASUS ROG Xbox Ally X Shows AMD Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme Performing Well When Using Ray Tracing And FSR at 1080p

    I really like that idea and it's simple enough for consumers to understand (press the 'Xbox' button to boot into game mode).

    Early Testing of ASUS ROG Xbox Ally X Shows AMD Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme Performing Well When Using Ray Tracing And FSR at 1080p

    Yar, I'm worried about that too. I could see customers seeing the 'Xbox' name and figure it's the new Xbox and expecting a traditional Xbox-like experience (which it doesn't sound like it will be - at least on launch). I don't think it's going to be a huge seller with the rumored price points...

    Valve’s New VR Headset “Deckard” Will Launch in Late 2025 for $1,200, It’s Claimed

    A set top box is cool (and I'd very likely pick one up), but what I'm really excited for is that controller. The trackpad is the one feature I miss most after moving to the ROG Ally. Spec-wise it seems a bit low to me too (especially the 8GB VRAM), however if they can price this right and...
