Passing the buck
A lot of shock about the PS5 Pro price but I’m personally not surprised. Sony must have been paying attention to the prices that base PlayStation 5s were going for on eBay, sold by scalpers upon release. I ended up spending £700 for one.
Either that or I’d have been waiting another six months and I ain’t the most patient of mothers. It’s still cheaper than a top of the range PC. Still won’t have to mess around with getting your controller to work on this that or t’other. I’m talking myself into getting myself one as I type. Blame the scalpers when they made Sony realise such a price point was possible.

Losing a Nintendo
What strikes me most about Xbox passing 2,500 layoffs is how many staff they had to begin with. Nintendo’s annual report lists the reporting company as having 2,814 employees, so Microsoft has only got a couple hundred more to go before they can say they’ve cut a Nintendo. The entire group is listed as 7,724 employees, so they’ve already cut a third of an entire Nintendo.
Given Nintendo seem to outperform Microsoft in sales it leaves you wondering how many people Xbox has left and if it’s still quite a lot (acquisitions aside) how they got to so many to begin with.

Invisible improvement
I don’t get why people are still going on about frame rate on the PS5 Pro if the only real way you can see how smooth the gameplay is, is by slowing the game down. Why does it matter on frame rate if I’m not going to play a whole game in super slow motion? Half the people that wrote in was saying they could only see a difference when it’s was super slow and zoomed in when they weres playing any of the games and showing them side-by-side I couldn’t tell which was which, until I read at the top which was the PS5 Pro.
For me people saying they want high frame rate is beyond me, because if they were running at 30fps or 240fps I wouldn’t know which was which, maybe in my old age I’m going blind but 30fps is still perfect.

GC: Frame rates above 30fps are not something you can easily see; the primary difference is how smooth the controls feel – which obviously you can’t show in a video.

Limited entertainment
I’d like to thank GameCentral for its review of a much-anticipated game of mine, that is Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown. I had some money saved up in order to buy it and an Xbox Series X.
However, even before I had clicked on your article, I already read a few reviews of it (sorry, I couldn’t wait) and …read more
