@mangeurdenuage Yeah they bumped up the price of the Xbox Series S consoles $80 and the Series X $100, and the 2TB Series X had a $130 price hike.

Normally consoles go down in price as they age not get more expensive.

@ooignignoktoo @mangeurdenuage i wonder if part of it isn't just inflation, but also how stuff is manufactured?
like, either better chips aren't being manufactured which is making sure the current ones stay the same price
OR
only better chips are being manufactured since they are in higher demand and we're always pushing the boundaries of tech, so it's more expensive to build the old ones

i know that chips are getting smaller and more efficient and all of that stuff, so i guess in theory they also use less material and maybe that has an effect on the price of the older chips.

no idea if that's the case but that's just my totally crackpot theory. it's probably mostly due to inflation and all that crap but i do wonder if the actual manufacturing side plays a role in it.

@beardalaxy @ooignignoktoo @mangeurdenuage they're gambling by buying game devs and they never learned shit from the Nokia buyout

Man I'm feeling old now remembering the N-Gage. Only time I ever got to experience one pesonally was at a GameStop in the Maine Mall I want to say 2003'ish and they had some FIFA game in it and I wasn't really all that impressed. That screen was bad and the graphics were hardly better than the GBA it felt.
@beardalaxy @sendpaws @mangeurdenuage That video is making me feel old. If I remember correctly there's a part where he's arguging with Nightmare from Soul Calibur II over his beverage order and then he goes "fuck this i'm going to Burger King!"

I think I was in 9th grade when I stumbled on this, thanks for the trip down memory lane.

@ooignignoktoo @sendpaws @mangeurdenuage hell yeah man, decline of video gaming! i watch it like once a year xD
