Brilliant marketing idea.

That’s not marketing, it’s a lack of units in production. One of two things. They’re higher priced and we’ll see the same thing with Xbox, so they make less in general until they can reduce manufacturing costs. Or, they’re just behind on units. Seeing as how the pandemic was a thing that probably also hit Xbox.

Start of this generation is looking rocky at best. And not the good kind of Rocky.

Their target audience was going to buy them anyway. This is that sad fluff Sony throws out so the fanboys can pretend they’re some saintly manufacturer that cares about consumers.

Thouroughly pointless without prices in place. Has never needed to be a thing before and does effectively nothing for the general consumer. Not seeing a point in this.

At least I was the lucky happy winner receiving free internet when I clicked on the link for this site. Crazy.
