Wonder if this is just some clever binning and not actually new silicon

The start of the death knell.

They were trying to integrate external sources as well, and be sort of streaming hub, but that didn't work out for them at all. Then they went and locked external streaming behind the paywall, and that's pretty much where I thought they could get bent.

hahahahahahaha .... ah ... hahahahahahahahaha

I think this is very true. Also missing out on the folks that purchase it on both platforms. I can see why a boardroom may think that keeping things exclusive and locking you into the ecosystem would be better profit. I also think they are wrong.

I mostly gave up on OS customization when it would keep getting broken in standard updates, and every major release threw out the old design and changed all the rules anyway. Now I'm lazy and just throw everything on the desktop and pray someone doesn't decide to clean it up for me. I haven't...

I was already thinking it was overpriced at $100

I played GTA4 - didn't think that was bad, but not really up to the hype. GTA5 - got it free at EGS when they were bribing people to install it... played it about an hour and hung it up. Couldn't get into the control scheme or something, just didn't feel right and wasn't that interesting of a...

Not saying I agree with it, but here’s the thinking You have $100,000 of your own money to invest. Let’s assume all other things are equal - and Option 1 has a yield of 5% - but it’s nice and steady. Like a Treasury Bond or CD Option 2 yields a goal of 30%. It’s variable, but rarely outright...

No, that isn't it at all. PC gamers get the utmost respect. Because they know many of them are suckers, and will buy it on the console first just to get in the hype wave, then buy it again on the PC for the better experience.

Seems like Microsoft is back to handing out Gamepass vouchers with Taco Bell and Pepsi and whatever else they can schlep it on. Son came home with World of Warcraft Fanta with a voucher...

I actively avoid driver updates - at least until they have been vetted. No side is blameless

This will save the dying motherboard industry!

Lian Li isn’t charging a premium for the privilege, at least not a separate one. hahahaha that is exactly what i was thinking

Right now Steam is reporting something in excess of 100 different models of GPUs There is a downfall in that smaller sample sizes need some level of homogenization to be truely representative. You go out and ask 1000 people out of 100,000,000, and if there are only a handful of the more rare...

So... If you ask a mathematician, you don't need a huge sample size (assuming the distribution is homogenous). A few hundred upwards of a thousand results are enough to extrapolate useful results, and more sampling than that, regardless of the population size, are usually just used to try to...

Yeah, while I get that hardware has advanced a long way... the timing is less than stellar, and machines (especially integrated systems) that are able to run well with less are doing very well right now. Microsoft really needs to right the ship here, and in a hurry. Windows is really kind of...

I have to agree, but I think that games can be good without top notch graphics.

Wouldnt that be making your gripe worse? Even Microsoft moved from that dongle to the more ubiquitous Bluetooth
