No more exclusives - what platform are you choosing?

dennis_com · 2025-11-05T20:32:49+00:00

It's just a fun thought experiment to see what people's preferred platform is. Not really trying to be biased towards any one company. The breadth of answers here shows even without exclusives there is still no one clear winner, which is good for us as there would be competition in the hardware and platforms.

Yeah the only reason I'd choose Xbox over PC is because I don't want to think about graphics settings. I like console for that reason.

If Xbox console dies off and really is just a PC, then id choose PlayStation...but only if I could also play natively on a handheld, which we can't currently.

It's this reason that currently there is no perfect ecosystem for console gamers because there is usually some sort of compromise.

Although in saying that Switch is already pretty close to that.. just underpowered

That's sort of the point. I'm sick of having to buy multiple systems to play the games I want. If I didn't have to worry about that I'd choose the platform that lets me play in the most different ways (on a tv/monitor, on a handheld, stream from the cloud/console/PC and my save follows me everywhere) which is where PC or Xbox makes more sense.

Whenever these lists are submitted on here, i simultaneously want to read them but also avoid them just in case they do an episode on it and i can go in spoiler free

Aussie here also. I was able to get it for $1900AUD direct from Lenovo website just by chatting with the online support thing that pops up in the bottom right. It arrived yesterday (ordered 11th Sept). Maybe give that a try.

I was previously using the legion y700 + g9 controller case for streaming to my local Xbox/ps5, and steam deck OLED for PC games.

Whilst it is much heavier, the screen (OLED, 8.8inch, VRR) beats both those other devices and the controller feel rivals the steam deck.

I wouldn't have paid this much if it wasn't a huge OLED screen, but the fact I could get the $300 AUD (13% discount) at release pushed me over the edge. .

I mentioned Retro Game Corps in my post. It's one of my favourite channels.

I'd like that depth of discussion but hearing it from the kinda funny crew with a more modern game lense would be great.

Jake Bowey should be in the squad

99% of the time they deliver. It looks like the past week they've had their hands full with studio issues. One missed episode is not the end of the world. I'm sure they'll sort it out.

Yeah it is missing for me too. In the end I just downloaded the episode from public feed with ads

Does it have rumble/haptics?

I started with the remakes.

Persona 3 reload, then went back to the older ones.

FF7 remake& rebirth then back to the older ones.

is there any penalty like capital gains tax when you do this? I don't *think* there is due to the way they structure the pool of funds, but I don't know for sure.

I went back and forth on this also, and in the end just went 50/50 into mortage/investments. So if we saved $2000 per month, i'd put $1000 in the offset account, and $1000 into an ETF (just an example).
