The Weekly Stuff #282 – PS5 & Next-Gen Talk, Labo VR, Star Wars News, and more!

We catch up on two weeks’ worth of news, from the first trailers for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker and the video game Jedi Fallen Order, to the unveiling of the Disney Plus streaming service, to the confusing reveal of the Xbox One SAD edition. We also talk about the addition of Persona 5’s Joker to Super Smash Bros, and Jonathan gives first impressions of the oddity that is Nintendo’s Labo VR. And for our main topic, we dive in to the first official details of the PlayStation 5, and talk about how the next generation of consoles is shaping up – what’s the strategy, what’s working, and what seems confusing?
