"Gaming has recently been attacked yet again in the media following another terrible America school shooting. Mainly, games are being lauded as training tools for the perpetrators of these crimes, so I thought I would take my FPS skills into the paintball arena to see if games really have conditioned me to deal with shooting people and dealing with the consequences, and thus prove if they are to blame for society's ills."
Today, Destiny 2 developers hosted a livestream where they discussed in detail upcoming core game changes coming alongside The Edge of Fate expansion on July 15.
The Meta Quest 3S Xbox Edition has arrived for $399.99, but we wonder if it was really needed or just a simple cash-in.
We're talking about a limited edition item here, and by definition, those aren’t exactly 'needed'. But when you look at what’s included, the controller, the strap, and a few months of Game Pass, it actually turns out to be a surprisingly good deal.
What’s weird is that this is a VR headset branded with Xbox, a platform that doesn’t even support VR. And Xbox is part of Microsoft, a company that more or less walked away from all of its VR efforts. Yet somehow, this ends up being the best value available for a VR headset. If you're looking to get into VR, unless you're buying used, it’s hard to find anything that offers more for the price.
Nope, wasn't need, but It's another incentive to try GP, and retain increase or maintain subs.
It lends to the "Everything is an Xbox" marketing they have going on...if it has a screen, it's a Xbox.
I don't see the harm here, it's a limited item...shit MS and Sony have Sneaker deals as well, are those necessary? Nope, but if you like PS or Xbox, or are a collector of limited edition of stuff then, why not?

Typical blame video games for shootings. Careless storage of a video game disc causes a death shooting. America keeps doing this run around the real problem and that is the availability of guns. Before video games it was violent movies or rock music.
The right to actually buy guns is a constitutional right and not be challenged in the US b/c of the the NRA a powerful lobby group that is funded by very profitable gun makers.
Yes there are people out there who are easily influenced and may be stimulated by video games; but the reality is that they could just as easily be influenced a movie a tv program or something on the internet. But ultimately if these people can buy can get guns they are empowered to wreak havoc on their victims and their families.
In reality this blame game only distract from the real issue which is effective gun control.
conservative white middle class people always find something in mainstream media to blame for their children's so called "corruption". in the 50s and 60s, they blamed the movies for corrupting their children. in the 70s they blamed it on drugs and music. in the 80s they blamed it on communism and soviet russia. in the 90s it was rap music and mtv. and now it's our generation and they've directed their attention to video games.
and not once does it occur to them that maybe the reason their children are out partying, having sex, doing whatever it is kids do is because of their terrible parenting. they ALWAYS seek to blame something else. the only comforting thing about this is that eventually it'll move from video games to something else, judging by the trend.
