So who bought a new console?

Not yet. I’d like to try and get an Xbox Series X in the next few months.

Hey Robio, Aldi is having £50 off on switch in the UK. Not sure if it's also in the US though.

You know our Aldi's don't have nearly as much cool stuff as the ones in Europe. I've never seen any electronics of any kind there, but there is one just a few miles from my house so I'll check it out tomorrow. Thanks for the heads up.

Aldi's selling consoles is something I don't recall here in the US.  I had to check to make sure the UK version is the same company.

Spider-Man Miles Morales is...more of the same.  It's not really a bad thing because I really enjoy the combat. The visuals are stunning, some of the best I've seen.  I can't remember if the first game looked this good.

What I will say about Aldi is that they do have some random stuff for sale that really comes out of nowhere. I remember they had mannequin busts when I was in there once. So aside from the German wines, cookies, and the wilted lettuce, there is a certain amount of unpredictability in what they carry.

In Australia, Aldi sales and interesting stock are used as bait. There will be at most one or two of any given item Australia-wide.

I’ve been looking around for some mannequin busts for umm, reasons. 🤔

You don't seem as excited about next gen. as you were in the past.

Well a new gen usually comes with new games. As you have also experienced we are basically just playing more of the same. But it's so pretty!!!!!

so kind of like if your wife just got breast implants then. It's new and exciting, but it won't solve your marital problems.

Is anyone choosing Xbox over PS5 because they can't live without Bethesda games?

I wouldn't mind getting an Xbox just because I skipped last gen and I'd like to play some Gears of War games.

Not because I want Bethesda games, but more because Game Pass seems to align more with the way I play games these days. I would definitely miss Sony's first party games, but those come out at such a slow rate these days I really wouldn't be missing much in the grand scheme of things.

Does PS Now give you a chance to play online?  If so I may switch from Plus to Now.
