Just yesterday I saw several scalper listings with prices between $900 and $1300. BUT! Most of them had price drop indicators. Some had been marked down by several hundred dollars. Seems like they aren't able to find buyers. What a shame. Golly I sure hope they didn't gamble on a big payoff and are now stuck with a pile of consoles and a HUGE credit card bill.

@Shinobi120 I agree they are all shady. I haven't pre ordered or bought day 1 since 2014 because I can't trust them to put out quality. Nintendo finds ways to be extra ridiculous by claiming limited availability on a digital product. That's just a whole new level of stupid.

That looks so, exciting I guess? I just can't wait to get absolutely no tactile feedeback from my touchscreen while playing a crappy version of D3. But mostly I can't wait to see the real money cost of the items designed to make the game less unpleasant to play. I'm betting they're just top notch. I guess they don't know people aren't happy about mobile diablo. I don't know why, it was all over the internet. Do they not have phones?

Do people really think he was out of line? Those that do have never had to lead. He's the star but more importantly he's the producer. He calls the shots and bears the responsibility for everything that happens. He also has to find the money to fund the production, the cost of which skyrockets when there is a shut down. He was totally justified.

"It's a world where megacorporations rule people's lives, where inequality runs rampant, and where violence is a fact of life, but I found very little in the main story, side quests, or environment that explores any of these topics."

Other than the WHOLE GAME you mean? Oh I see. I didn't bring enough on the nose, direct references to issues you personally place a lot of importance on. I give this review and annoying pain in the ass out of 10.

He's not wrong, mostly. I have to say, calling Rey or Kylo "nuanced" parts is a bit much. I'm not disagreeing with him, he was totally shoved aside. But it says a lot about how badly his character was treated by the writers when Rey, a character with absolutely no evolution across three movies, is considered nuanced.

@Divisionbell: Oh please. Why are you white knighting for a piece of hardware? Of course it's cynical. I've been paying attention. What's sad is you thinking cynicism isn't justified at this point. Exactly what is your stake in people thinking these consoles are wonderful? Of course I want them to be good and reliable. I think it's really messed up when people buy at launch only to run into systemic problems that weren't caught by quality control. I had 4 360's die due the red ring issue so I've been cautious about launch purchases ever since. I get the impression you get offended when someone is critical of your system of choice.
