I paid slightly more for this one https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B089FHT28B/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and I love it. Seems to do everything a switch pad needs to do, and holds its charge for hours. I bought it for the kids but I use it pretty much all the time. I even managed to complete Hollow Knight with it! I was not paid any money for this public service announcement.

Not only would Nintendo do it, they would make the Super Mario Galaxy 2 remaster a launch title that is only compatible with the Switch+. That would also be the first and last Switch+ only title they release.

Direct from the website. From what I can work out they are currently shipping out orders placed before the end of August. Orders placed after that date will start to be shipped from the 25 September. So we'll definitely be waiting a while.

I really wasn't interested in the Xbox before but that price is definitely in the realm of, "Heck, why not?". It will depend on them releasing something I want to play of course, and I'm not really interested in Gamepass. Hmm I'm starting to talk myself out of it, but I it's a nice looking bit of kit at a very persuasive price.

I had a 10 LP jazz compilation box set when I was about 14, that I bought for a few quid in a second hand record shop. It had a live Dizzy Gillespie session on one of the disks that featured a version of Kush that absolutely blew my teenage mind. There were no line-up listings and the disks had generic covers, so I had no idea who the band were except that it had Lalo Schifrin on piano, and I remember listening to it over and over again. I have no idea what happened to the box of records, and I haven't heard the track for *cough* 30 years! But thanks to the wonders of the internet I've only bloody gone and found it again! Thank you internets!

I was going to resist (as I'm pretty happy with the R350) but then I saw some Youtube videos of some impressive N64 and Dreamcast emulation so I've just ordered one. I'll post impressions when it turns up. Might be a while, as it's being shipped from China.

I'm guessing if you're posting in a topic about a game you're already interested in it, and probably predisposed towards it. For instance, I posted in The Outer Worlds thread before the game came out because I was interested in it, but not after it was released because I thought it was terrible.

I haven't bought a game on disc for the PS4 since launch and have a digital library with hundreds of games in it, so it would make sense for me. But, we also use the PS4 as a DVD player so I'll probably still get the one with the disc drive in it.

I know the graphics didn't look that good, but there was so much more wrong with that demo than graphics. Stuff you're not going to fix it by improving the lighting. Mainly it just didn't look like fun. I suspect that's why they've delayed it, not because it needs to be a bit shinier. As my old Mum used to say when I got dressed up to go out, "You can't polish a turd".

Sony sponsor the competition, and the stadium and all television coverage is plastered with Playstation stuff. In fact they've had the PS5 logo on the advertising hoardings for the recent games so they very well might start running TV ads during that game. It gets massive viewing figures across Europe so it would make sense.

It football game.

If we're talking Brazilian music then I can't get enough of Antonio Carlos Jobim. Superb musician and arranger, who along with Joao Gilberto helped bring the Bossa Nova to America (and then the world). This recording he did with Sinatra is one of my absolute favourite albums.

Unfortunately that's not how it works. They are just going to be under the same pressure for much longer. I do feel for them. I'd imagine Microsoft are absolutely fuming as well, but it does seem like they put all their eggs in one basket a bit.

Weirdly I have it! It's the version from this compilation: https://www.allmusic.com/album/movie-masterpieces-mw0000466648 I can send you an mp3 if you want?

Nobody is making you buy another controller, or a charging station. You've obviously decided it was better to spend that money, than to put up with only four contiguous hours of gaming. It's certainly not required.
