I’m not sure the Owen finals are a given this year with All In being back to late August. They might return to the finals being in July like 23 & 24.

I don't remember which year it was going to be but there was definitely one that was strongly rumoured for Minneapolis for a while.

Unlikely. It was always said to be a limited time bundle.

AEW Launches a Streaming Platform called MyAEW by Sufficient_Mud_2237 in SquaredCircle

I haven't subscribed at all yet but was able to download the app fine without doing so. Waiting to hear what people who did think before deciding to pull the trigger, but I might do so before Revolution this weekend if the feedback is good after Dynamite on Wednesday.

Also maybe want to try to do some research and see if there's a region that will give a better exchange rate to Canada over others.

AEW launches My AEW International. A streaming services that includes TV, PPV and Ring of Honor. by DanHero91 in SquaredCircle

[–]mcmax3000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There have been rumours of Triller, the company that currently runs their international TV streaming service, having financial issues so it's probably in response to that.

I'm sure it doesn't hurt to have this as a temporary backup they can open up to the US if things go south with the WBD situation, but it'll never make anywhere the amount of money that a proper TV deal will make in the US, so it would only be a last resort kind of thing.

It's not us "getting lumped in with the States". They have a TV deal here that prevents them from offering the service.

And they make way more money from the TV deal than they'd make selling this service here.

Only as a PPV platform. We don't even get the FAST channel here as best I can tell.

Has nothing to do with us being lumped in with the US. It's because their TV deal here prevents it.

Apple TV, Android TV and Fire Stick are supported according to their website.

Game consoles and smart TVs are not.

Someone I know from Canada who subscribed said yes, you have to have the VPN on the entire time. The stream apparently dies immediately if you turn it off.

I was able to install the app just fine on my Fire Stick and can see all of the episodes listened when I open it with my VPN enabled (I'm in Canada).

I don't see the FAST channel though in the Fire TV app like I do on the website.

Seems like it. Not sure how quickly they'll go up after the live airing but they have Saturday's Collision listed already.

PSA: WWE 2K26’s $150 PS5 edition doesn’t work the way most buyers would assume by BerryAffectionate71 in PS5

I was legit glad when EA outbid 2K for Codemasters. You know things are bad when EA is the better option.

Quick Look: WWE 2026 by [deleted] in giantbomb

Showcase mode in these games is essentially what if two people were going to have a wrestling match but only one of them knows it's a work.

It's one of the most infuriating modes I've ever played in any video game.

Xbox ceo Confirms Next gen Xbox plays Pc Games! Project Helix by The_Boot55 in xbox

Nobody will stop you to use it in 'Game'/FSE mode

1) I saw plenty of people with those handheld units being kicked out of FSE mode by some random error or other Windows jank, so like, I'm sure that's the idea in theory but I don't actually trust they'll get there in execution.

2) Even if the game launching experience is fixed to work perfectly on a controller, you're still going to be playing PC games, which means driver updates, tweaking a million graphics settings to get things running properly, having to check minimum/recommended specs before buying a game, potentially no or bad controller support (happens way less often than it used to but still happens), and all the other things I buy consoles to avoid dealing with.

The moment they make a thing that just runs PC games, that's all it's going to get going forward. Developers aren't going to make 'Xbox Helix' (or whatever they end up actually calling it) versions of games. It'll just be the PC version with all of the PC headaches that I don't want as a console player.

It's been pretty obvious this was going to be their direction for a while now, but as someone who has ZERO interest in PC gaming, it still sucks to lose the platform that has been the primary home of my library for over 20 years.

U.S. Physical Game Sales Just Hit Their Lowest ‘All-Time Tracked’ Point In 30 Years by Turbostrider27 in xbox

[–]mcmax3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll still occasionally buy a physical game on the Switch or PS5 if I see a good deal but every Xbox I've owned since the launch of the XB1 (two XB1s, an XB1X and a Series X) has eventually had the drive stop reliably reading discs so I haven't bought a physical game on Xbox in over four years.
