Three hours of Geoff, what more could you wish for?

Iâve learned my lesson and wonât be tuning into his shows outside the game awards perhaps. 3 hours of Geoff fawning over celebrities and stuffed with ads is too much, Iâll catch the highlights later on.

Apparently the FTC has said PS5 Slim is this year and next year is Pro? My buddy just told me.
I wouldnât be surprised about the Slim, itâs been rumored for a while now and even MS has said they expect the Slim this year, at 399 iirc.
And then the Pro, I just wonder what is gonna make the real difference compared to PS5 and XSX. PS4 Pro was a nice difference with PS4 back then, but it was especially the One X that really made a significant difference.
No. Not the FTC.
It was in Microsoft filed documents in the FTC case. It was part of MS refuting the asinine backward maneuvering of defining the High Gaming Market that only Sony and MS participate in. MS talked about the PS5 Digital being lower priced, their expectation of a PS5 Slim at $400, the portable PS5 Project Qlit for $300. They also talked about the Series S and Nintendo Oled models being in the same price ranges.

A PS5 at $400 is a huge price cut, theyâll dominate with that. Is that real?
Got it. Clearly my friend watched a video or read something that isnât truthful then. Good to know.
Nothing really new then.
There is already a PS5 at $400⌠

I would guess itâs a new model that would work with an optional external Optical drive peripheral; so pretty much a PS5 Digital Edition with a strap-on option.

Thatâs the one I will be getting then, smaller and cheaper. I donât need that ridiculously big thing here.
That announcement they had at their show for the black Series S, it really should have been a digital XSX, but I say that as hardcore gamer. I guess the S is doing less hardcore gamers just fine.
I still hope that MS/Phil was bluffing about XSX being the mid gen refresh, especially if the Pro is gonna become a real thing.
This looks to be an amazing bargain deal for Xbox Wireless headset for $50 at Walmart.
Microsoft Xbox Wireless Headset for Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and Windows 10 Devices $49 via Walmart (Walmart+ Eligible). [Store Link : Microsoft Xbox Wireless Headset for Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and Windows 10 Devices - Walmart.com ]

The presence sure is spread.

MS priority should be matching prices with the slim, not the pro IMO, pro at this stage feels like a complete waste of time and money, next gen games have barely started to come out
Whether itâs a digital Series X or just a price drop, they will need to match that $399 price assuming itâs actually true
Considering how dead physical sales are on Xbox, a Digital X should be no issue, keep making the disc version for those that want it but get a $399 digital X out there too
Great freaking show!!!
Unlike the majority here, I do like Keighley (even though he should never ever host another Xbox anything related show ever again) and Summer Game Fest/Opening Night Live/The Game Awards so looking forward to seeing whatâs there. Three hours though is an hour too long. But either way, I will be watching!!
PlayStation 5 digital only slim model is my guess and if you want the optional disc rom attachment, add $100 which would get you to $500.

Ah, that would make sense. Not sure how well that would do tbh. Physical is much bigger on PS, even here. The strap on (lol) would have to be pretty cheap.
You mean the digital one? I donât know anyone who have that one. Discs, especially for PS first party games, is huge still.
It would be interesting to see where the price will land outside the US. The digital PS5 is $600 here.
Itâs a great headset!

I donât know how this will turn out tbh. A cheap PS5 slim and a more powerful PS5 Pro vs. Series S and the recently price increased Series X? Yeah⌠oof.
I know a lot of people like and were/are in favor of Series S and I get it but personally, instead of losing money on every Series S and X that are sold, I would have released the Series X for $400 which matches the PlayStation 5 digital edition but offers a disc drive and better specifications. Of course, this is just what I would have done.
Nice!!! Was hoping that Witchfire would be coming to other platforms and it appears that it will be after the September 20th Early Access Launch. Specifics havenât been announced but im hoping!!
EDIT: Wanted to include an interview The Astronauts did with Segment Next. A lot of good info in the interview including that Witchfire could release fully on PC first after Early Access or at the same time as consoles. Iâm expecting this to be a 2025 release for consoles as the studio is comprised of only 12 people and the game started development in late 2015 but had a direction change in 2017 to what it currently is.
