My TV is hooked up to some crazy ENERGY SAVING power strip that the power company gave us and will turn itself off when it detects the TV, or whatever else is plugged in that slot, is switched off. The modem and router are plugged into the always-on plugs so the PS4 gets the shaft and has to be powered down after use. It sucks and just typing this out makes me want to go get a normal power strip again.

Master/Slave power strips are great for computers, probably less so for consoles.

drat, the English audio in Persona 5 is really badly mixed and recorded. The music and sound effects sound great, the dialogue sounds like it was compressed to hell and back. Any reason for this? Is the Japanese audio better??

Like holy poo poo lmao

its entirely possible that my cross section of friends are just incredibly huge dipshits but you would be surprised by how many people i know who are really crossing their fingers for a return of the xbox as the dominant console. i wouldnt mind if the xbox came back but only if its because they're doing poo poo right, and not out of any desire to see microsoft "winning." although they were kind of turds when xbox was on top, i dont think any dumb rear end thing ms/sony/nintendo has done has annoyed me more than me giving microsoft money for the privilege of having mcdonalds ads with sound or ads for the loving grudge with video and sound autoplay on the dashboard.

Everyone I know, from people who are really into games to super casual, once in a blue moon gamers jumped ship from Xbox to PlayStation this gen. It's pretty crazy how bad ms hosed up. I really think they just burnt out any good will people had for them over the last gen, and then the botched reveal of the xbox one just pushed everyone over the edge.

I'm not sure how the Xboxonexbox is going to do. It seems like most of the people it would appeal to are on PC at this point, but then again I might be underestimating the amount of fans that will be sold on some better specs. I honestly hope it does allright because competition is good for customers. But I just don't see them coming out ahead this gen. Then again this is about where PS3 started catching up to 360 last gen so you never know.

Wii actually had a super high attach rate, like higher than the 360 and PS3 iirc. Wii software was a gravy train for a long time

360 and PS3 both sold more software than wii, but not by much. Given that wii sold 20mil more consoles than either, that would suggest that the attach rate was marginally lower for wii than the other two.

Well looks like if you like to order games from amazon for the prime discount and you are in Canada, its now too late. Looks like the 20% discount just got lowered to 10% :(

The attach rate was something like 7 titles per console on average, which is pretty drat high.

Also, Ausgoons, Big W has Uncharted Lost Legacy for all of $42AUD tomorrow.

The sales on GTA5 are insane. It explains why it is still expensive and never got a huge discount on PC or consoles (by huge I mean 66-75%) considering that it is a 2013 (last gen) and 2014 (current) game.

At this point I'll just get a 2nd hand copy off ebay or something since I'm not a huge fan of GTA games and I never paid more than 15€ for one of them.

I actually sold my Xbox 360 when I turned it on and saw the dashboard filled with ads despite me paying them money for a gold account. I'm very anti-adverts (I think they probably have a detrimental effect on the mind with the sheer volume people are bombarded with daily) and it really made me wonder what on earth that £40 a year was even for.

I've not owned a Microsoft console since then. Honestly, I'd like if they left the market altogether. The people who made the good xbox are no longer at the company and those now in charge of it don't want to actually make consoles/games for us to have fun with, they're more interested in pushing something else.

Xbox could definitely survive and turn it around (and I would like to see that), but only if it was owned by a completely different company. Microsoft ruin everything.

GTA Online keeps adding new content and likely makes an obscene amount of income for Rockstar off microtransactions for in-game cash.
