  1. Ah great, consumers getting screwed again! Less platforms to get it on, more of the cost of the console being used to subsidise these deals which means you pay more and get less. Epic, sony and microsoft can shove this behavior right up their backside.

  2. Nope, don't think so as Sony has NOTHING like Game Pass. Being able to play games on Xbox, PC and the cloud with cross save and cross play in some cases is going to play out in the long term. Isn't PS Now what Sony has?

  3. If this provided a second battery I would be much more interested. Seems like a great opportunity missed, especially considering the mediocre battery I'm hearing a lot of the Pro models get. The keyboard needs to be heavy anyway so a battery could provide some of that weight. And considering the price, a battery would make it more worth the money. Of course it'd need to make a physical connection instead of using bluetooth.

  5. Ehh... I get the whole anticonsumer thing but my issue here is: -Why is Nintendo not included? They have their fair share of exclusives, and some of them aren't first party games. -Why is Epic included but not Steam when they are both essentially free platforms? Especially when Epic has lower Dev fees (supposedly), which in theory will be beneficial to consumers in the long run. -Lastly, the console (MS and Sony ones anyway) don't subsidize these fees. Most consoles are sold at a loss or at cost. The games and the peripherals you buy does, exclusives lure people onto your platform. I actually in some ways no longer understand the outrage over console exclusives in that the market of games are so big, I can't conceivably play everything I want to anyway. I own a Switch for a year and haven't even got time to start playing Breath of the Wild. The bigger the people care about exclusives, the bigger the justification for exclusives.

  10. Really? PlayStation is Sony's NUMBER ONE cash cow. Without PlayStation, Sony as a whole would be in a very bad spot. PlayStation is KEY for Sony. Xbox is FAR from being a cash cow for Microsoft. Microsoft is very diversified, and Xbox is literally just a side-business for Microsoft in the grand scheme of things. Considering the situation, who do you think would go the furthest to secure success? Microsoft is historically NOT known to stretch themselves to secure success for their platforms: Zune, Surface, Groove Music, MSN, Microsoft PlaysForSure, Windows Phone, and so on as examples. I think it's safe to bet that Sony is desperate to secure PlayStation's success, while Microsoft seems to already have accepted that mediocre games and a "failed" Xbox One generation is OK for them...

    I have a feeling that the "Series" branding is going to stick around longer. They'll just change the X to something like X2 or something.

  13. With Microsoft there are now very few games that are exclusive to Xbox only, most first party titles are on PC now as well. Which is exactly the reason I returned my Xbox One S and bought a PS4 instead. I realized there is nothing on Xbox that I want to play that I cannot have on PC as well and I prefer PC for now. Honestly i will likely skip this console generation all together as I don't game much but if I will buy one .. it will be ps5 and about 1 year in - when there will be more games. Same what I did with PS4.. I got PS4 pro. By that time there were a lot for content

  15. Microsoft has been against console exclusivity for some time. If MS did something it would be "release this everywhere except for Playstation" They were against it for a minute but recently they announced the studios they own will no longer be making games available on third party platform, and their E3 presentation in 2018 had the word "Exclusive" before every trailer so they seem to like the idea

  17. Nope, don't think so as Sony has NOTHING like Game Pass. Being able to play games on Xbox, PC and the cloud with cross save and cross play in some cases is going to play out in the long term. They've had PSNow quite a while and have had cross play and cross save with PC since PS2/3 respectively. Almost nobody will be switching between PC and console. It wasn't a big deal before and won't really change with game pass. For multiplayer games as a service we already have cross play and cross save on all consoles.

  19. HDMI cables: What am I looking for?

    If you want to cover future use, then get something like this.. Cost difference is a few bucks.. https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=31231 Says 48Gbps, Dynamic HDR and eArc, etc. I also think your putting too much thought in to what at most $20 purchase? Your not buying a $3k TV

  20. Thank you! I take it that means you'd like to see more like this? Honestly, same here. The content in here is mostly product announcements and it’s gotten stale around here. This content and the article is well written. Content likes this changes from a “2 second” stop by to a few minutes for sure

  21. Welcome to US politics. And we all get the grace of being bombarded by it daily from the MSM. Luckily it's really easy to tune it out and realize that the world is actually made of mostly good people and every waking issue isn't x vs y. It would be nice to hear about the good of humanity more often, but I guess that doesn't get views and ratings.

  23. Nvidia begins teasing an event for August 31

    While you're probably right, comments like this before any pricing is announced seems a bit unnecessary. Plus there's literally 0 obligation to buy the top end best of the best card available, there's many cheaper options from Nvidia. Now if you just hate the price/performance across the entire range against a competitor, then sure complain away.

  25. Yep. Downward spiral. Thankfully it's giving many other countries an eagle eye view of what path to NOT go down. Americans are tenacious, though. Here's hoping they can come together in the next few years, because if they can't, they'll splinter their country. tbh... I've given up on most Americans above 35... True chance has to come from the progressive 18-30 y olds. Congress & high level state/county functions need to be replaced by young blood, e.g. like AOC. And no, that will not make the US into a socialist country, but hopefully a more fair one. You're joking right? AOC? LOL I stopped listening after the whole above 35 BS.

  30. Open source Chromium browser shows up on the Microsoft Store

    I'm not an expert on this, but AFAIK installed as "System" simply means that the OS is in control of the app's folders and files, not the other way around. App's executables are not given access to modify system files or write to system locations. If you have an already compromised windows installation, it doesn't matter if the attack vector is from normal apps or store apps; ownership would make no difference. UAC and anti-virus programs won't really help either.

  35. Microsoft Surface Duo renders leak; coming to AT&T

    Not really. It’s designed to fold in half when opened. What will be awkward is the size. And in order to check who is calling and eventually amswer or to check appointments etc., you will need to use two hands to open the device... Even more ironic is that this is coming from the same company that created Sideshow.

  39. Dell XPS 15 (9500) review: A MacBook Pro killer

    The 13" has soldered RAM and SSDs, so double think before you buy. The 15 and 17 have upgradeable RAM and SSDs. Has this always been the case for Dell's 13/15? or more the norm of all manufactures? I mean, I know I'm generalizing but it's an overall question.

    I think quite the opposite, that's what's going to make crappy devices like the Macbook 12 much more worth it as it will have excellent performance and battery life.

  41. It’s leftist cesspool where centrist and even slightly right wing ideas/posts are deleted and posters banned. That is why you see these kinda hacks. r/india is another s******e which actually bans you if you post something Pro-India. Never seem to be able to get anyone to share an example of one of these "right wing ideas" that seem to get censored all over the internet.

    Higher frequency 5G will never work indoors. Hence why this design is paired with 600mhz that easily passes through walls even better than Wifi. So this is one carrier giving what you want and their 5G isn't a complete scam.

  48. No Luck Really Solving as yet, still seem a bit slow, especially on Laptop machine, gotta check more on Desktop machine, which i plan to do shortly here. Desktop was clean installed on the new hardware finally, so might be a little improvement on this PC thankfully, still gotta check laptop out more I hope it's just a bug with Windows 10 2004 and eventually is fixed with a cumulative update, or driver or something, and such. Too much trouble to rollback to 1909 at moment, so guess will just patiently wait at this point, and hopefully i can stand the transfer speed of the drives for now
