The value-add is the comedy of a man pretending an Intel Q6600 is better than a Ryzen 3600X.

Yeah that's the guy. Hilarious to see he thinks his garbage biased opinion is worth any amount of money.

I love my Grados for that exact reason

Better yet. For the price of 2 portal recolors, you can get 1 Baldur's Gate 3.

The irony of this being crossposted from ML.

I'm hardly a Sony Stan, but you can call me one if it makes you feel better when I say... I have no idea what you're talking about.

hardware component shortages that were notably specific

What was specific to the PS5 that wasn't shared by the XSX? The specs of are almost identical. Same AMD processor, same generation and architecture, same amount and type of memory. Any supply chain woes that affected one almost certainly affected the other.

Except for that insane proprietary memory expansion card that Xbox uses that cost $200 per TB. It took them 3 years to come up with cheaper options. Meanwhile Sony just uses off the shelf NVME drives whose price has been slowly decreasing ever since the pandemic.

The PS3 was underpowered

It is well documented that the PS3's weakness was the complexity of it's design not necessarily how powerful it was.

the PS5 enabled and enriched scalpers

This is such a confusing statement, it's Not Even Wrong. You make it sound like Sony built scalpability into the PS5. You're angry at the inanimate object? Not what the awful people did with it? People scalped the PS5 because it was in higher demand, not because it was made of gold.

News to me, what's up with the hardware?

Edit: ITT: a dude so defiantly wrong he uses edits to imply he's the only person making any sense.

Probably not without some tinkering, but DRM can always be defeated.

How the tables have turned.

Sony won the case against Universal that allowed people to record TV shows with their VCR. I wonder how they'd feel if I pointed OBS at their streams.
