The real deals here are the PlayStation Fortnite bundles which are $100 less than other pricing and $200 less than they'll be on the 2nd. Wanted to make the thread so anyone on the fence about purchasing had time to before the price increases next week.

This will kill the industry. No one will be able to afford these prices to game.

Does anyone know if the Pro can do 120fps/hz over Remote Play? My slim only does 60 and it's noticeably laggier compared to Steam Link which can do 120

There's very little on PlayStation/Xbox these days that doesn't either come out right away on PC, or at least come out eventually on PC (as will probably be the case for GTA6), so I spent my $500 on an RTX 5070 deal instead.

The Switch 2 is more tempting due to the portability and first party Nintendo releases, honestly. Even then, you have *cough* other options available.

Remote will max out at 1080p 60 fps if you have the bandwidth.

PC is too expensive to buy into. I guess you could buy a Steam Deck and play it at like 480p lol

GTA6 wont be released for PC till later, up to a year.
Unless MS really fully enables a true Xbox mode for PC's that will play native XBOX code.
