@dirtydyk: If the content and access was the same then sure, maybe it would be bad, but streaming (at least thus far) offers way more than cable ever did and we're not tied down to a TV and paying to "rent" equipment. And that's not getting into the lesser details like dealing with Comcast or AT&T customer service or losing channels due to a spat with the provider and cable company or paying a bunch of taxes and fees that are meant to be charged to the company, but get dumped on the consumer instead. I'm fine paying the same as cable and getting ten times the content that's available on any device I want to view it on and none of the other crap that goes along with having cable.

It was only a matter of time before a studio did this on purpose, though in practice it's not the first time multiple versions of the same movie were in theaters. Empire Strikes Back had 35mm and 70mm versions, with a number of small differences, but the big one was at the end, Lucas didn't feel like it was clear where everyone was in relation to each other. Interestingly enough the 70mm version is the one that was closer to Lucas's vision of the film, but only a few of the edits were incorporated into the re-releases.

@chisoxrule: Don't think PS5 has much to worry about, XBox might have one exclusive banger, but that's it.

@jenovaschilld: They mentioned you have to upgrade your engines to go to farthest points on the map, whether that means you get the parts via the storyline or get them at your leisure is not clear

The guy has worked his ass off for the last 5-6 years, he deserves to enjoy the rewards of all that work

So pretty much just more of the same

@thenotepadshow: I don't necessarily disagree with the premise, but we are talking VR-lite here, for it to be seven times the cost, that's deep into red flag territory.

@tbird7586: The second one was ok from what I remember, a big world with all kinds of vehicles to play around with. Kind of a mix between Forza and Hot Wheels but without all the cartoony, physically impossible cars, yet set in a cartoony, physically impossible world. For $60-70, hell no, but for $15-20...you could do worse.

Lost me at $3,500. I understand new tech comes at a high cost, but this is way too high a price point for something that has fairly basic possibilities at the moment. Typically these insane prices are development costs and startup costs for new manufacturing and materials, but it looks like Apple is also dumping a large part of the R&D on those willing to take the plunge. This does not appear like a company that is confident in what they are delivering, but one that is worried about making their investment back.

I'd cast Nicholas Hoult as Lex in a heartbeat, the perfect choice for the character, as well as Rachel Brosnahan, a great actress, though I'd still try to find a way to cast Samara too, maybe Lana? As for Supes, not a fan of any of those choices.
