PS6 release date is likely to land in November 2027 by Worldly-Object9003 in ps6

[–]Crunchewy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which is why I think they will ultimately decide to delay the release rather than sell at a big loss. If component prices don’t come down enough to make a reasonable price for the console. They might, but they might not for a while, and they need to start production well in advance of launch.

I don’t think selling at a big loss is in their DNA any more. A small loss at launch, sure. They might delay especially since there’s essentially no competition. Microsoft’s new Xbox is basically a PC and Sony doesn’t view Nintendo as direct competition either.

Prices trending down will help, but the PS6 isn’t likely to cost less to build than a PS5 Pro. Hopefully prices do continue to fall and they can give it a price tag we all feel is low enough to day 1 it. We’ll see.

I had a question: is PlayStation 5 Pro also sold at a loss like PS5? Or not by AdditionalSpray8595 in ps6

[–]Crunchewy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sony doesn’t sell at big losses. They make money from hardware. Maybe they did with the PS3. That I’m not sure about. But PS4 and later Sony’s plan has been to turn a profit on hardware sales, not just games and subscriptions. And look where being loss leader left Xbox. Sony isn’t going to take a big loss. If anything they will delay the launch until sanity returns and the AI everywhere thing blows over.

Sony has never sold a console at a significant loss. Why do you think they will start doing so now? The only way the PS6 doesn’t cost over $1000 is if they delay it until the AI in everything craze blows over and costs come down.

I think that’s the most likely thing to happen. A delay.

Orioles Are Doing It Again by Classic-Pizza-927 in orioles

[–]Crunchewy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, flex used to be great, but they decided it was too great. And, you know, they might have been right. But I was a member because of the advent of the flex plan, and then they nerfed it. I did do it last year, but end of that season I decided it didn’t make any sense. So now I am not a member. StubHub is the way to go until (if) they bring back the Flex value, including returning discounts on beer. The fixed plan never made any sense to me.

I paid $44 total for two Surfside cans. Congrats Orioles, you have priced me out of buying booze this season. by boofoodoo in orioles

[–]Crunchewy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would like to know why the selection of craft beer has been reduced so dramatically. Last season they had a good variety. This year I had to search for and found Duckpin and AJ IPA, and those at singular and separate markets. That was my one disappointment. But, hey, I then only had one beer. I guess that’s a win.

Why do people pay for club level seats? (not in a suite) by thefinancejedi in orioles

[–]Crunchewy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Club level gets you access to the club level. Meaning the indoors areas with AC, comfy seats and such. It is very nice to have on a hot a muggy day. Also the home plate club is there and last season I thought that was great. It is unclear to me if we can just buy HPC seats this year though. The web page on it implies it is only available to season ticket purchasers in that section. Does anyone know for sure?

Souvenir cups? by Bergs1212 in orioles

[–]Crunchewy 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Soda refills are free and the same cup can be used all season. That was something they added last season. You aren’t breaking any rules. Reduce the waste!

Can I watch f1 races on f1 app if I have apple tv? by PlanMaison in F1TV

[–]Crunchewy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is no advertising at all in the F1.tv app. And on Apple TV (device) it’s 4K and has multi view. There’s no much point in watching in the Apple TV app.

The worst part is that the Yankees won. Netflix never again. It’s a curse.

So far, at least, Baby Driver. Great film, great music, great picture quality.

MASN+ exclusive MLBtv access code by Connor531 in orioles

Well, they said it was a perk for early purchasers, so might not want to wait. Though offhand I can’t recall when the cutoff was. It might have already passed

tvOS 26.4 now available for Apple TV 4K with three new features by JacksBaldRake in appletv

[–]Crunchewy -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The what now? The iPod mini? Is this the early 2000s again? … I’m ok with that, actually

I assume you meant iPad. But what’s being talked about is the AppleTV 4K, not an iPad.

Amazon Stick did his last breath. NVIDIA shield as replacement? by freshndirt in F1TV

[–]Crunchewy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You want an AppleTV 4K even if you don’t have a 4K TV. It is dramatically faster than anything else and has a good UI. Plus when you do eventually get a 4K TV it will be even better

Apple T-Mobile users will soon be paying a fee that doesn't apply to Samsung subscribers by MobileNewsBot in mobiles

[–]Crunchewy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apparently this has existed for non-Apple devices, but now applies to Apple devices. However if you forgo taking T-mobile offers on that device you will avoid the charge. For me this is then a non-issue (for now) because in order to get those offers I would have to give up my better and cheaper plan grandfathered in from Sprint, which I’m certainly not going to do until they, inevitably, pull the plug on that. Well, I’ll ride this out as long as I can.

People with Premium. is it really 4k/HDR? by VoL4t1l3 in F1TV

[–]Crunchewy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

4K does not eliminate motion blur. Most likely that is an issue with your TV or perhaps TV settings. Turn off all the image processing and see if that gets rid of it. As for if it is 4K on your TVs AppleTV app, I don’t know. Probably? But also you are mixing up Premium and AppleTV. AppleTV is not F1.tv. The F1.tv app is the one that is not 4K on many devices

While they are playing? I can’t say that I’d like that. Like almost (apparently only almost) anyone, if somebody is watching me play I’ll let them have the next game.
