Don’t forget 4K Minecraft!!
I think I’ll likely get one of these, and get back on the Xbox trolly.
For me, at this point, it’s about the network.
PSN is just such utter crap compared to XBL, and I’m sick of it. Not even talking about performance of the network itself in terms of downloading digital content (which is terrible), but just missing seemingly obvious crap that XBL had ages ago. Like being able to avoid players? How is that not a thing? If some dude is playing from the other side of the planet and is a slideshow of laggy bullshit I don’t want to play with that guy. Psn’s solution to this “check to see if the game offers something.” That’s what it says. It’s a joke.
Or the fact that parties still aren’t fully integrated into anything, so you need to make parties outside of a game, and then another one in the game.
Or their refusal to make a controller with paddles.
Sony is full of shit, and they don’t deserve my money.
Live now, 3pm eastern not 10, derp
Amazon pre-orders went quick. Less than half an hour as far as I could tell.
Yeah, and that’s my preferred vendor since I have a lot of credit accumulated. Hopefully they’ll stock up soon.
Of course they do pre-orders on the day I’m stuck on an island on the Salish Sea that barely has cell coverage.
The pre-orders this time were for the Project Scorpio edition (special case & logo). The clerk at Best Buy was sure that the XBX was not available for pre-order yet until I showed him the page with the different SKU. And then he told me that they could not do pre-orders at the stores anyway. Sigh.
I think the mainstream models will have their own pre-order queues.
Microsoft has said that all pre-orders are actually going to be Project Scorpio editions, despite the fact that some vendors have created different SKUs.
I’m kinda annoyed - they never even went for sale on Amazon Canada as far as I could tell. I was also signed up for alerts and never got one, in any event.
Yeah it’s the day 1 edition, that’s all. Great packaging.
I got an alert from Amazon but didn’t jump on it, and when I did try to check on it a couple hours later they were all gone.
I have always liked Microsoft’s internal naming schemes, and also agree that is a cool name. Seeing “Scorpio” light up in red on the front would be neat, kind of like the machine intimidating you - hehe.
I model my management of our engineering team based on Hank Scorpio.
Yeah, it should be substantially faster. Still not capable of true 4k, because GPUs just aren’t there this generation even at the 1080ti, but much more performant than the PS4 Pro.
So donuts, and the promise of even more donuts?
When you get home, there will be another story on your house.
Got an email notification that preorders are back up on Amazon so … I ordered one. Oh man my wife is gonna kill me.
I pre-ordered one as well. I’ll probably cancel it, but nice to have the option
Yeah. Amazon won’t charge you until it’s ready to ship. So nice to have the option. You have months to cancel. I pre-ordered, too.
