Sega Mega Drive had the best beat em ups.

Streets of Rage, Golden Axe.

Streets Of Rage 4 that dropped last year is a fantastic love letter and modern update to the franchise. Every character from every installment is playable.

OG master system. Awesome

Is it me or does it appear that it’s difficult to buy a PS5? They are out in Australia aren’t they?

Not just you

Quite difficult

theres been a shortage since it was released almost a year ago. they have been stifling game releases too because its having a negative impact on sales too. from what i read, sony cant even get their hands on any more amd chips to actually build the things…

The Good Guys is taking pre-orders today.

Get in while you can if you want one.

It’s not just the PS5, it’s everything - GPUs, CPUs, even the automotive industry has seen prices skyrocket since no one can get their hands on silicon.

Been trying to get an XSX for ages, settled for a XSS a few months ago and will upgrade when I can.

its pretty nuts. i havent been able to use my PS5 much really. have played some Demons Souls and Returnal, but thats it. other than that ive started Metroid Dread on Switch and its blowing me away.

PS5 stock alerts on Twitter and discord with notifications turned on. Once I actively started trying to get one I got lucky within about three weeks. I was unsuccessful in about three or four drops from various retailers and then managed to get one from Amazon by being at my PC when I got the notification. They sell out in less then 5 minutes everytime.

i can’t understand how if someone who has a passing interest in planing video games and wants something “next gen” doesn’t get a Series X with game pass?

they are available, way more impressive than i thought they’d be (we got one for my son) and games pass is such good value and XCloud just takes it to another level.

for kids it’s incredible.

Especially with new Halo and Forza about to drop

Get a Razer Kishi for xCloud, it’s unreal.

Once xCloud supports above 1080p it’ll be elite

it does on console, planing online via xcloud on the xbox at 1440

What! Why the hell does mine output at such ■■■■ resolution, will need to suss this out

aaaannnnnndddd they’re gone

I mentioned it before, but if you have a Nintendo Switch, do yourself a favour and pick up Metroid Dread. its a phenomenal game.

The actual xcloud stream itself maxes at 1080p/60fps. The Xbox console will then upres the output to 1440p.
