$1,400 for a USED PS5 Pro Is an ABSOLUTE JOKE
GameStop is asking around $1,400 for a USED PS5 Pro. That’s not a typo. The PS5 Pro originally launched at $699.99, Sony has already raised the official price, and now used systems are being listed for prices that are getting dangerously close to high-end PC territory. At some point, gamers have…

Why I Won’t Buy A Digital Only PS6
Sony is ending physical disc production for new PlayStation games in 2028, and if this is the future of the PS6, I may be done with PlayStation. Back in 2013, Sony famously mocked Xbox by showing how easy it was to share a PS4 game: simply hand the physical game to your friend. Thirteen years...

DreamcastGuy’s Ocarina of Time Take Is EMBARRASSING

They Have No Idea How To Make Halo
