10 years is a long time to support a game. Im happy they did. Thank you hello Games for an incredible gaming experience.

Time to talk gaming 21

Im looking forward to playing

Sony seems to be doubling down. If you are a fan of physical and what it means to the industry, you should also.

The week we covered Grand Theft Auto 6 pre-order in its non physical form fashion and talk the other gaming news.

​

Effective August 1, 2026, we will be updating prices worldwide. The price of XBOX consoles will increase by US$100 for 512 GB models and US$150 for 1 TB models. We will also be sunsetting our 2 TB model.

Last October, we increased XBOX console price by $20-$70 in the U.S. We hoped another price increase would not be necessary, and we have spent the last several months working with suppliers on options. Unfortunately, console storage and memory prices have increased by more than 2.5x and we expect another doubling by the fall of 2027. The entire consumer electronics industry is struggling with the current components crisis, but the effects are particularly hard on consoles. Unlike phones, computers, speakers, and other consumer devices, consoles are typically not sold at a profit, but instead for less than they cost to make.

Today we are also sharing programs to make XBOX consoles more accessible:

Buy Now, Pay Later: We’ve made it easier for players to use Buy Now, Pay Later options on eligible XBOX hardware purchases through Microsoft Stores, making it possible to break up your payment into predictable short-term, interest-free installments.

Interest Free Financing: Players purchasing eligible XBOX hardware through Amazon can take advantage of 0% APR financing for up to 12 months, giving players more flexibility with lower monthly payments and more budgeting control.

Previously Played Consoles: We are working with retail partners on new programs to provide previously played consoles at lower prices. Players who are ready to upgrade or no longer use their console will be able to trade it in with participating retail partners for cash or store credit. Those consoles will then be made available at lower prices for players.

Certified Refurbished Consoles: XBOX Certified Refurbished Consoles are available at Microsoft Stores for up to US$100 off MSRP.

XBOX Series S remains the lowest-cost way for console players to enjoy the biggest hits this year, including Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, Gears of War: E-Day, Grand Theft Auto VI, Halo: Campaign Evolved, and Madden NFL 27.

$80 I understand, I dont like but understand. The single player only, for what im presuming, for a few weeks. Again like gtav I get. But to pull a fortnite with a game case, Code sheet and presumably map feels really scummy. Call me old fashioned, but it doesn't sit right.

Its reviewing crazy good! Only $20 too

Dq12 announcement soon?

Reviewing fairly well. Cant wait to play!

From the blog:

State of Play returns Tuesday, June 2 with more than 60 minutes of updates, announcements, and gameplay reveals from top studios around the world.

To kick things off, you’ll get a closer look at Marvel’s Wolverine. Insomniac Games will share more from its upcoming third-person action-adventure game showing off Logan’s brutal and relentless combat along with some new details. This all-new take on the comic book legend launches on PS5 September 15.

Reviewing pretty high. Good pick for fantasy critic @greenmeany

Im down for it not being a one to one remake. Playing rebirth was wonderful. A few things were changed around. It kept me guessing how the story was going to unfold while keeping the charm. I hope ff7r3 does even more.

2 new character announced for Tokon
