I get why they do it, but it's just not consumer friendly. We don't need a stop-gap between generations, the improvements between the previous and 'pro' version is so minimal it's just not worth the extra expense for most consumers. Game companies need to work on R&D, marketing, etc. for the next generation of console instead and stop with this biz tactic.

Sony really be trippin bro... Definitely not in this lifetime, even my wallet would not approach lol

Unless gta6 is out you don’t need shit 😂

If only people supported the Dreamcast instead of the PS2 back in the day, gaming today could look a lot better

Just get a PC for like a few hundred more and it lasts longer. PS5 pro is already out dated at that point.

I wonder if the PS5 Pro has a fidelity mode? A 1440p @ 120fps option. I'm going to save my money for the Switch2, Switch-U or whatever they call it

Yeah. At this point, just get a gaming PC. Consoles are supposed to be uncomplicated, easy to use, plug-n-play machines for games. Somehow, console manufacturers forgot that this past decade. Meanwhile, my Nintendo Switch has weaker hardware than my phone and I’m able to plop a game in and instantly play it without all of this hassle. Hardware specs means NOTHING to the average gamer. It’s all about how fun games are. How realistic their lighting, pixel shading, and high dynamic range are isn’t even a distant 5th or 6th. Just make good games. Making them pretty is often more on the art direction than the hardware horsepower these days anyways.

I just don’t see the point of this expensive, marginally better upgrade. The showcase did an absolutely horrible job showing the value of the new hardware: “Here’s a side-by-side comparison! What’s that? Can’t see a difference? Squint your eyes and give me $700!” There is also an even bigger problem that never got addressed: what exclusive games, worth playing, fully take advantage of this new hardware? They could have showcased some new or upcoming game and illustrated the graphic differences. Instead, they just showed a bunch of old games nobody is playing anymore… and I couldn’t even see the difference! At this price point, just get a gaming PC. It’ll be cheaper in the long run (no recurring fees, cheaper components to switch out for upgrades, etc.). There is something very wrong with this industry these past few years. How can this many awful business moves keep being made from these companies’ leaders? This is far beyond mere incompetence at this point. - Ubisoft is about to collapse after its abysmal Star Wars sales and insulting Assassin’s Creed offering failing to net expected pre-order numbers. - Sony is selling products for non-existent markets. - Microsoft basically told its Xbox customers to just subscribe to Game Pass on any platform (including their competitors’). - Blizzard killed Overwatch for its poorly executed sequel, nobody’s playing Diablo IV anymore, and WoW is just a furry Second Life clone now. I miss the 90s-00s era of gaming. It feels like it’s been a slow decline since around 2012/13 and has finally gotten to the point where “retro gaming” is preferred over anything released in the past 5-6 years. This may just be Microsoft and Sony’s final console generation. Nintendo seems to be the ONLY console manufacturer that understands how software sells hardware.

agree with you 100 per cent just a money grab from Sony

Short answer…no Long answer…heck no

$60 N64?! Gargoyles for Genesis!? Power Rangers?! Soooo sick, nice pick ups you guys!

The OG xbox has so many bangers!

I actually just did this with the PS2: started from absolutely nothing (never owned or touched a PS2 in my life, grew up with Sega Master System) and put together a collection in about four days. ;-)

Great recommendations! Love the OG Xbox!

Great console to collect for! This was the first console I actually paid for on my own (I had to have Halo). I was lucky enough to start collecting for it about 15 years ago when I started getting nostalgic for it, but before everyone else did, so I was able to get a ton of games at thrift stores, on ebay, on craiglist, on amazon, etc, before the prices of the games started rising. GREAT list of games you've featured. So many classics. I think you could get to sub $200 by including Crimson Skies, Rallisport Challenge, (1 or 2), Blood Wake, THPS 4 (custom music!), and one of the greatest football games of all time...ESPN NFL 2K5!!. Just a fantastic lineup. I've always been a Nintendo fanboy, but that OG Xbox was SPECIAL. What a FIRE console.

Last time Bookmans had an OG Xbox they were selling it for $170 loose. And it sold for that price. Way to high of a price point for a loose OG Xbox

Great vid bro! Can't wait for the next one! Honestly crazy to think that for just under 120 you can get all that

Love the shirt - Great to see you back bro!! My Xbox disc player stopped loading… I may buy a new one at some point.

So glad you had Mech Assault and Amped in here! Thank you again for having me in here my friend, honored and humbled!!! ❤️🎮

Im all in at 100$ but when retro rob throws out the JSRF i was like... 🎉

PS2 Sled Storm is excellent but v hard.

RTX is fun. A lot of production went into it. It can be difficult to work out what to do next.

I loved jet moto when I was younger. Nobody knew you can swing from the poles on the corners😂

The one thing about physical media, that I've been wondering about lately., If the possibility of 3D printing physical media is ever going to happen? Because 3D printing is the future of engineering and will get cheaper over time. I don't see why 3D printing physical media won't work, because anything is possible. Almost everything is possible. I wish that old school video games that we all grew up on, meeting the demand could happen. Just because they don't make them anymore due to licensing because digital games get delisted and they're gone forever. I stopped physical collecting when the pandemic hit. But..., I think i should retro collect again. Also, people's old vintage game systems like the NES, SNES, Genesis, N64, and etc... that died due to the age of circuitry are probably in landfills waiting to be recycled/renewed. That's why 3D printing physical media someday was on my mind lately., So with all of the existing vintage video game consoles/physical cartridges that were made back in the day that have been going into landfills/3D printing being the future. That's what occurred to me about old school video games meeting the demand being a possibility with them being recycled/renewed in landfills/3D printing.

Where you at bro??

Physical definitely owns digital games. Also, who says that you can't be a gamer and be swole at the same time!

Crypt Stalker looks dope! gonna need to check that out. i picked up Toki awhile back but haven't had a chance to play it just yet

Are you half white half native as well? Either way game rooms looking sick

So official, sponsors, banter, good info, great people. What else do you need in a stream 💪

Such a quality stream!!! You guys make a great team 🫡

Magcargo ex? Nice!

The editing again, the transitions between your commentary, and the clips are insane!!!

The way you articulate yourself is crazy sir. I was literally in the moment, playing Mario cart

🔥

I agree

Damn! I missed the show. I feel like I let you down bro.

Aw man! I missed this one! Congrats on the new arrival! Hopefully, I’ll be free next Monday!

Bro, get a fat ps2. those slim ones scratch the hell out of discs

I’m late to this, apologies! There are quite a few I’m gonna get out of this list, never heard of them! I first played Toki on the Atari Lynx, great vid my friend!

….Mike Haggar, is that you???

Good picks! If you dig top-down 2D shooters, Definitely be sure to check out SturmFront: The Mutant War. I think it would be right up your alley 👍
