There are several rare and expensive Dreamcast games out there for collectors. Some of them are great while others are... not so much.
Turtle Beach has revealed new Headsets and controllers for the Switch and Xbox thst have a colorful look.
For the first few years of this generation, a number of industry analysts argued Sony may need to add first-party games to PS Plus at launch in order to maintain pace with Xbox Game Pass.
The Japanese giant, to its credit, always maintained its position that this was unsustainable. It later added tiers to its subscription offering, providing good value with PS Plus Extra and PS Plus Premium without going all-in like its Redmond rival.
Microsoft has since missed a number of targets with its own service, and has subsequently started releasing games like Forza Horizon 5 and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle on Sony’s console.

Not all know. I am betting those observing this while obscured may have trouble comprehending 😅
Back in the day, there were even discussions and I believe statements from Spencer about wether Sony would allow Game Pass on Playstation.
At least for the time being this option seems definitely to be ruled out completely.
Nintendo Switch 2 upgrades portability with a bigger screen, 1080p handheld play, and Wi-Fi 6. Here's why it still matters in 2025.
As someone who travels for work I still care about portable systems.
I have found using remote play in a hotel room is an excellent experience in a major city as I've got my console hard wired to a gigabit connection at home however it's not perfect if power trips the console tends to go to the repair section and can't be booted remotely so it's a annoying call to family to power it on for me.
A hotel out of town or regionally though that can cause havok for remote play as I'm always on 5g using it hotel wifi is never good enough for a solid remote play session.
But leaving a stable location and getting onto a plane or train and there's little to no chance of a good experience with remote play thats where something like the switch 2 will really shine for me personally long haul flights are exhausting and one of my most hated things the switch has been invaluable for me and I'll absolutely be upgrading
Nintendo has always done it the best, handheld is in their genes. I do wish their dock could be like an egpu though and it make it much more powerful, it's a bit harder for me to play portable now for some odd reason, love just sitting on the couch with a big screen and controller. And ofc always great to have the portable option and for me it's best for smaller games.
IMO, 540P upscaled in portable mode to a 1080P screen using DLSS on the tensor cores will likely extend battery life using a lower TDP and provide much better anti-aliasing and similar clarity compared to native 1080P with med/low AA at a higher TDP. It’s just a better way to use a mobile chipset. That’s not a flaw or weakness, it’s a key benefit for the portable design of the platform.
Lol, even the impressive upscaling feature of Switch 2 can now spin to a negative one.
Switch 1 was hitting 720p and above that with no upscale, so why can’t they have a higher res and upscale it more

Because of that even the current gen games will now run on switch 2 that looked as good and with decent framerate as the current gen consoles.
Do you watch Nintendo's hands on preview for switch 2? LOL.
because aside from Nintendo's own games which have their dedicated fanbase, portability is the only other thing it has going for it. Nintendo will be eliminated faster than xbox if they ever decide to do a dedicated home console again. going the hybrid way is the only way left for them and they are lucky they dominated the portable market all those years ago. imagine the power of the Switch 2 as a console this day and age with the same price as PS5. they will be the laughing stock of the market.
Sheeeeeeeet,
wudda had a cool £1000, had I not sold it.
I'd be careful keeping discs around, I recently dumped (threw out) a lot of them because I had too many and a few had tiny pinholes going right through, some from PC magazines and others I had written myself. Some from late 90's, surprisingly some of them would still fully read and back up to an image file. But yeah I'd guess it depends on how you keep the disc, and the quality of the material the disc is made of likely has something to do with it also.
I own 4 of those games, but unsure why Sonic Adventure 2 would be worth so much. It's been ported many times, and even as a fan of the series this game doesn't hold up.
I recently played it on PS3, and it felt so sloppy. I don't even like 2/3rds of the game, however the Sonic & Shadow stages are alright. Let's not forget the amazing LIVE & LEARN track!
If you own a Dreamcast buy a GD-EMU clone ODE, you'll save so much money, no more grinding disc noises, and games load slightly faster.
Bit weird how some Dreamcast games (when it died), didn't get ported to the PS2 and Xbox. Powerstone, SEGA Rally 2 and Cosmic Smash a few as examples.
YOOOO, ready 2 rumble. hahah! Classic game! MVC2 and Powerstone were also my childhood!
