The slims model always came with a price drop. The PS3 and the PS4 both dropped $100 don’t remember what the PS1 and PS2 dropped to. Sony is just being weird

Sony and Microsoft are both getting arrogant this generation in a way that the other can't curb.

The next gen consoles dropped right before a period of global inflation, so disappointing but not entirely unexpected that they're using revisions to up the prices. Maybe next gen we get a price drop again.

As far as Disney copyright goes, I feel like the movies
starting with snow white becoming public domain in a few years is the much bigger deal (and a good motivator for the live action remake).

Yeah the character of mickey mouse itself will not be public domain, specifically only the version depicted in steamboat willy will be, and any characteristics only present in later works could be argued as infringing.

This was the basis for the Sherlock Holmes had Emotions lawsuit

The PS4 only kinda dropped in price since they announced it at the same time as the PS4 Pro which went in at the original price so if you were going to buy a PS4 at that point you'd only get the regular PS4 if you were A Poor.

This console generation has been so disappointing and pathetic.

literally the only reason I can justify my PS5 is the fact that at some point in the future I will be able to play Space Marine 2, and that wouldn't be true if I had a PS4. That's the only generation-exclusive worth a drat, and it's not even out yet!

but every year will bring new Mickey cartoons into the public domain, each unlocking new characteristics of the character. Every new year will bring a little present, a bundle of things you can now legally make Mickey do.

All the public domain Winnie the Pooh horror adaptations are really making me yearn for the eternal stranglehold of capitalism.

edgy horror stuff is actually the most safe legally, because it's so unlike anything Disney has done with the character. If you wanted to make a fun little kid's game about Winnie, that's a goddamn legal minefield.

They've definitely had a lot of box office duds this year, but that's only a small part of their business.

But also this is barely news. Maybe one executive probably wrote a memo saying "We should do more in video games. What if we did something Ilke buying EA?" And Iger is just like "Iunno."

To be fair to Phil Spencer, he clearly knew that "buying Nintendo" was not feasible, the email in question is him responding to a question from a marketing exec and it's basically corpo bullshitting of the "great question, and not a complete waste of my time and the most idiotic thing i've ever heard" variety
