Windows Central writes: "Samsung has announced that it's already on course with its plans to make licensed controllers for its dedicated Gaming Hub, having partnered with Performance Designed Products LLC (PDP) to launch the first "Designed for Samsung Gaming Hub" controller, the Replay Midnight Blue. The controller ships with an in-built rechargeable battery, which promises 40 hours of uninterrupted gameplay per charge. It also features a Samsung Gaming Hub home button, which will let you launch the dedicated Gaming Hub instantly."
another one bites the dust. When will these companies learn gaming isn't that easy to break into.
Seems a bit harsh. It's just an accessory for their app on smart tvs and monitors. Maybe Samsung have bigger plans down the line but I don't think anyone is expecting this product to change the world, Samsung included.
There is no dust to bite... this isnt like stadia. This is for playing games either from the mobile store or xcloud or geforce now through the smart tv. Like playing on your phone or tablet only a much much bigger screen.
2027: MS stops making Xbox consoles
2029: Samsung starts making Xbox consoles
j/k
You kid, but when Microsoft leaves, expect someone else to enter. Maybe Amazon. Maybe Netflix.
Samsung is in bed with MS and shows latent interest in the gaming market. They are also a hardware manufacturer. It seems totally reasonable that Samsung is in a prime position to take over the Xbox hardware properties should MS bow out of the market.
"Even though HDD space is incredibly cheaper ($200 will buy you a 500GB HDD), when it comes to gamers, the SSD is the best choice for storage."
lol no, just no. At the minute SSD are a terrible choice, extremely expensive, abysmal write speeds and their life expectancy is somewhat questionable at the minute. The only thing going for them are the great read speeds.
Maybe in future they'll be a worthwhile option, but at the moment they are far from it.
...and $200 will buy you a 500gb hdd"?? what year are we in? cause i could have sworn i've been seeing 1 terrabyte drives selling for about $80-$100 within the last year or so.
I Have a Vertex 4 512gb SSD, will never go back to HDD. Always check what kind of warranty the SSD has, my Vertex 4 has a 5 year warranty which is insanely good, but I agree they are expensive tho.
I love my 240GB Corsair Force 3 SSD. It wasn't cheap when I got it, but it has been worth it to me and the price on it has come down so much recently that I'm considering adding another to my system.
My system boots so fast that it takes longer for my BIOS to POST than for Windows 7 to load. It makes a huge difference in some games and almost no difference at all in other games, so you gotta do some testing and then evaluate whether you feel the decreased load times justify the space it takes on the SSD.
I have not had any issues with write speed nor life expectancy. It still reports 100%. I use it as my C drive which without doubt has the most write activity on it and I use my computer a LOT. Since February when I got it, the drive has seen a total of almost 2000GB (that's 2TB) written to it, which in the scheme of things isn't much when you consider the size of the drive. At that rate, the drive will be obsolete and replaced before lifespan becomes an issue.
So yeah, SSDs are worth it IMHO (assuming you can afford it of course) as long as you use it in a rational way. Use it where it matters and leave the porn on a much cheaper HD :)
SSDs will only really help load times anyway, they do not add any FPS benefit over a standard HDD in all tests I've read.
SSDs are great sure but I don't think its a gaming requirement however I would not build a new computer without one.
