Seems weird to push it more, even with all the issues BG3 has had supporting both models.

That said, with the high inflation and crazy hardware prices (especially here in Europe) it's nice to see some gaming hardware available on a reasonable budget.

I wish they'd make it more open though like the Steam Deck is. It feels so stupid having like $350+ of good hardware and then not being able to use it to easily do whatever you want.

You can do some homebrew stuff on it if you buy Dev Mode access for £15

I 100% agree with you on all 3 fronts. Especially 3. If they chose the model S to be their more open and experimental option that would be incredible for the more hacky parts of the tech community, just like the steam deck has been

I feel like 1tb in 2023 is like putting a 10 litre fuel tank in a 4x4

or do xbox games take up less room?

[-] LimitedBrain@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

They definitely don't take up less room. 1tb is still manageable tho. Enough to handle 5 or so AAA games or more and then also some indies. Most users won't need that much extra at the moment

I'm shocked this isn't replacing the original Series S at $300.

[-] ghostalmedia@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

The S is a solid little console, but the storage is what always held it back from being a truly awesome GamePass machine.

This storage upgrade was long overdue.

It's a great price but still kind of a hard sell for me considering a digital-only PS5 is just $50 more expensive with a more powerful system and a feature-rich controller.

I actually prefer the Xbox controller -- the offset joysticks are more comfortable for my hands.
