Exactly the conclusion I reached after watching a couple of reviews. I’ll pick this up on a deep discount at some point. (That said, I never buy games at full price anyway.)

Lately I’ve been in the mood for the crime, sandbox games and I started with Mafia DE because I only had played the original during the PC gaming days when I was way younger. Then decided to give 3 a second playthrough, then 2.
And yesterday I finished my second playthrough of Sleeping Dogs and damn, this game still rocks big time. The martial arts are just as awesome as it was when it came out, the gun fights are great too. Hell, even the driving mechanics grew on me. Great story, atmosphere, details. When you think about it it’s kinda crazy how this studio came out of nowhere and dropped this game. And it actually does a good amount of things better than the more modern GTA games.
I will always remain incredibly frustrated with SE that they didn’t let them make a proper sequel.
And it’s 60fps thanks to fps boost, so awesome.

Not sure the source being credible but if so, separate me to a thread.

The lore behind the scene is more alive than the game itself.

Was skeptical on the Asus handheld but I’m sold so long as the price is reasonable.
Death Stranding 2 seems to be doing well, as in how it’s received.

It looks really cool. I’m looking forward to playing it on Xbox sometime in the mists of the far future. 
Hopefully enough time to finish Death Stranding 1 first but maybe not the full 5 years!

Yeah, it’s gonna depend on what kind of arrangement Sony made with Kojima for this. For a change it would be nice if Sony did something back, so to speak, after Xbox “playing nice” for a while now. We’ll have to wait and see.
Ally $499 / €599
Ally X $799 / €899
I think these prices were “leaked” a couple of weeks ago. Since they’re identical to the current ROG Ally prices (at least in €) I’d imagine the “leaker” just took those prices and “leaked” an educated guess. (What would we do without these people?)
My educated guess is that his educated guess is probably correct.

Was the leaker that Extas1 person (or whever he calls himself?
I think so. I’m pretty sure he just guesses stuff and people trust him as an “insider” for some reason. He’s been wrong as often as right. But with these prices I’d imagine he’ll be right (or very close to it.)

Don’t get me wrong, Im hopeful that they are accurate. But I have my doubts, at least as far as the more expensive on is concerned.

I’m guessing the deal pre-dates a lot of recent changes to PlayStation and Xbox’s relationship, so I’m still going to guess a 1 or 2 year exclusivity then maybe it reverts to Kojima ownership again.
Honestly I’m not that bothered, I own it on PC but never really tried it as I watched my partner play it and fell asleep multiple times lol - this one does apparently have more combat though…

I have the first one on PS5 (no longer have a PS5), and bought it for $20 on Xbox when it launched. Apparently I played it right up until the game opens up and actually really starts (on PS5) then stopped playing.
Ill give it another shot…someday.

I just grabbed a Switch 2.. but I actually could not be less interested in it. I’m genuinely considering cancelling the order and buying that 4 Tb Seagate expansion card. 
My only hesitation is that it’s going to be outdated and likely won’t have forward compatibility with the next Xbox. Probably too expensive for 1-2 years of use?

I have the 2 tb card but can’t justify the price of the 4 tb to myself without a big sale.

I have the 1TB card. But honestly, have never really needed it. I have like 30 games installed at the moment and have 1.3TB available.
Probably no official prices yet because of Trump’s tariff roulette. I’d say $499 and $799 is the best case scenario.
