the french flagship podcast of the next generation, it's good. It's like a hopeful.
it's just a star trek podcast we're just going to talk about jean luc picard for the next two hours. You know in many ways I think we are I'm your friend Eli that has diet around hi dieter, hey how's it going Tom Orren is here hello there Eli
I I'm so we ve brought in a bread on this, the forty forty fifty of the american election. Here's what we're gonna do.
Election is not over. As record this recording is on thursday night there
a lot of just dead ahead tech muse to talk about there
We had xbox reuse time, the next picture review we have passed,
I've news coming tommy's britain, it explains how the controller
suspending amazing there's an apple of that next week or exporting arms.
A lot of debt ahead. Gadget tat used to talk about
and then there is a lot of election news, a particularly platform policy election. Is I
was signed at eater earlier. We could not figure out how to manage the transition between those two things. In one episode we just couldn't. I was like there's no no subway available here. What's the audio current, just like a line break just like an eight hour bar on the website, you just like, I would put a brake I'll be fine. I hope we can
in it. We I think we have done a reasonably successful job of keeping it altogether
this week is too much so can you
a little bit of an experiment
have to smaller sized episodes we'll go over
regardless I'm not going to tell you how long we think they're going to be cause, we're going to go over, but we're going.
This episode, xbox vs five,
However, that does not have such talk about that's one
do another episode with addy. Both
at the same time with it we're edison side what the election platform policy, what twitter facebook
You have been doing around the massive amount of
this information and chaos that has come about in the selection process, so both absender and feed. You wanna
the policy talk, go check out our conversation, daddy. If you come for the budgets carrier, one time, I got it
The only thing I'm not doing is I'm not going to hit the covert website this week. It's thirty four weeks, but hopefully we're done talking about it. So we'll get back to
the endemic is still the biggest story in the world. I just think this week. It is in some ways been eclipsed by what will happen with the future american politics. So thirty, four weeks will come back, which I can uncovered will do
except next week. This is the xbox vs, five apple episode. If you want to go talk about election policy platform, stuff, go check out the episode, clear, clear, okay to mourn and a there's
Three new consuls right there series ecstasy
asked the past five years,
the serious acts in the series asked this week, how
yeah I went to bed at four am and go up at seven am today. So that's how it went and it's britain is spin spin spin a ride. Can we just
really quickly. Our listeners are savvy, and so they know that the job
reviewing the council is an actually found. It is work you like it
playing games but you're playing games with an eye towards judging things, and that's it completely.
different experience and just playing a video game, the eiffel tower,
Can we find those ikea due to export services, can be fun and has not never again I'll. Wait. Ten.
until that easier bs,
We we took a look at this series x and the series S and it basically very similar solar consoles, except set their very different, so
four, nine dear ones, to nine nine and, like the four nine
is the real like cannot pierce five competitor and the two nine nine could so is the sort of like it's the budget one. I guess you is the sole snapple expose the little tiny experts, and yet I feel like both of them.
I they're very different and they kind of do very similar things and I feel like the they are very similar to like a pc so like in in different generations, before
like the idea of a connection consulars, they bring something new and I like pushes the different games forward and to take forward
not seen that yet with a wave of any of these controls. To be honest, maybe the peaceful control by philip were a point
where games is put in the past, the eve had let these big jumps right in in generations, and I don't think that jump is necessary here.
I'm sorry exports represents in the in the best way possible because he just feels like evaporated. Your pc
waves from both of these companies is. The re tracing for graphics is like the big graphical jump, the higher frame rate at for K and august load times right
that for the xbox, specifically in the series acts specifically, that is both
be this generations equivalent of the sixty four jumping to three d or you know whatever, whatever you know the big jump as for each council generation, but
it seems like you can't just point to one of those things, but yet this is this is better in that way for sure it just everything is
nicer and faster in lots of different ways that it like you, you said, felt dick, like the equivalent of upgrading your pc here.
Unlike I know, every every generation Nichols comes out, so it takes a little while for the games to catch up anyway, rum buffing, with with the experts this time, instead of like they haven't, got these new games, like that's one of the key missing parts like to me. So if I was on the
icsi exports next tuesday, when they will come out. I think I'd be super excited about the low time super excited the everything runs, a bit faster and stuff
think I'll, be missing that, like superman
about something new rights
this was something is saying about some brand new areas like a new life and has like magnets on the back and you are who you know
I also this I've had the pass to new iphones of purchased.
like so Silas yeah, you haven't
moment where you're like oh and then like five minutes after you're done playing with you're like oh wait. This is this feels the same nothing's triggered this is ios, and I it feels like the the law because they didn't change the dashboard. It's very much the same for the series x right, pretty much yeah.
like the basically use in the council's sectors like his there's, no differences,
or look at fast of seeing the dashboard and stuff you'd expect. Is this
the games optimized an updated, that's where it can be like a transformative.
Games because they running it like an old sluggish fur, infringe the second, which does feel that if you
used. Like someone like me, I'm used to pay an about turn the frames and obtaining pc and, like is super fast, and if I go about your favorite second, I sometimes actually feel physically sick. I have
values adjuration like it depends on the game but but
you and they sometimes it does for you, hello, but an efficient but but punch people used to fifty francs per second, but once they saw once they fails
stay frames. A second and beyond its like going from like gigabits in internet, combats fifty six came out at night, like the step back he's like so dramatic that you'd want to keep at sixty frame.
forward. You know one of the points in your view that I think is super interesting with remarks. The xbox anyway, is there
your ability to choose what you
our ties in the dish
presentation of the game is approaching. Like the pcs,
so you're saying you would prejudice high frame rates. My instinct is like just
bad at video games. It's not like my reaction times matter, I'm crash in the car anyway. It's like the oddest make it as beautiful as possible. Rightly, I would prefer to have more
details, better lights, and she like I'm just looking around in most games and then quickly quickly dying unless the thing like faith for you that's there and for me he wants high frame rates. That's the slick
They were against this point where you do have these modes and we'll see on the pc. Just have the slightest right. You just crank all the saints up
and down such so much good.
Ready to use it?
needs. So much of that in the console that is so simplified, it's just a flick of a switch track, and it's just it's just nice to have that and I feel like
we can get even more modes, and I feel like it's this disgrace choices, grandma
No, but it does show the limits of computing power right now, right like what we can make with a guy
aim has run ahead of what a reasonably priced consumer pisa hard work and do what you do
in the new generation of a new council is suggest everything's set
max all fighters at max all the time right. That's what you would expect from like the good one, but that's just not pass
Nor has it ever happen, though. No because lake
so the harder this point side, these things about you you you like. I have a free thousand dollar game peace.
I can run watchdogs max frames smacks of everything max rachel
You just can't achieve on a five hundred dollar. Alright miniature pc. Essentially,
everything's shut down and smaller, but at that
the story are usually that its at the end of the day,
I saw my cycle that you get the most powerful.
Squeezed out of it yeah, so I think here
particular interesting, as you Tom's frame of this is more a pc upgrade. Then your stand,
generational leap,
the games are being updated, but that big, optimization pushed it
years, isn't quite pulling olive third perform inside of it, which I have just said
a bit of a change and I think the curve of what we expect to me, the one that
always comes to mind, is the launch of the three sixty ages ago,
the xbox three sixty was. A video in council was
it wasn't a circle should have in a circle anyway, I'm that was the one that we move to. Sixteen by nine aspect ratios we move to hd like this was a big change. It wasn't just for pushing were pixels, it was. We are re architect and how game consuls word. It's mine all the time, and it just took a few years before
everyone really understood what to do with it. So, for me, for this generation, the big open question is: will we see that pattern repeats or are these,
things in their her core architecture, their processors or gps, and the way that they access, storage, so's much closer to the way that an initial gaming pc works.
But those optimism like will come faster, like the reason
games got so good towards the end of these. Other life cycles is there's a particular things that you can do
It is squeeze out extra performance out of the special
components are inside a council the components inside the
spock series acts they're, not there really, there's so much closer to
but you ve got in a pc in terms of like coding. I think that
may not see like that spike. At the end of the car,
our generation yeah. I feel like the poem
This generation is ray tracing right so that that thing's pretty heavy that there's always something that they they promised with these consoles right less. So for the for that
experts one originally in the peaceful. It was ten atp. That was the target right and it never quite hit the the beginning and it took a while to get there and then roughly,
me primmest peaceful, did anyone and then the export
next came along and it was like we're doing full k and eating quite get there like, and then it did and
he took well- and I think this time it's like we're doing retracing, unlike at the moment on pc that, like
If I were called retracing things on stuff in some games are done even get fully frames right with reflecting on expensive graphics card, so I think the real
if he have ray tracing, is going to be pretty limited and that's going to be likes to the point where we push up against and the optimizations will have to be found there and they all doing like on the pc side. They do
something. That's cute like super sampling, so ill. Basically,
Jesus like invidious using economic assistance like scanned the game and an upscale
from a low resolution image to ireland,
be super instances, outcomes these concepts. Gazelle sort of like help with the hit from rejoicing
That is something I need to pump up against and something that will only will only really see really high. They re trace. Games like in a company is having realistic
We talk about the games library, so you know everyone knows that there are like launch titles for this xbox, like the big one at launch day, like oh yeah, can I get this game? It's going to look and feel amazing
It's the reason to go by this council, but there's like a bunch of games are being up
might not all of them, and it has repercussions for
storm and like where they go. So what is it and, of course, the other big thing as theirs, xbox game pass ultimate,
something, and so, where do you see this state of like the games are available
way for either these councils, because to me I am really too, we were gonna, try and do one versus playstation later, but I'll just tell you that
Now I'm really torn between the desire to have the simple ecosystem of netflix for games at microsoft offer
and what to me seems like clearly superior hardware and exclusive games on the piazza if like come
in general? I do know which one I'm gonna get. I might add of getting them both, and I guess that's all.
vision. I think, is a lot of people and I think that's why the series s success rather like the timber concept is like this is out based export scheme pulse council just
a resolution, be aids,
as of late exclusives. They obviously don't let their they have some exclusives at launch, but they, like you, know, indie games and there's not. The aaa halo was supposed to be halo, infinite and I got delayed because it didn't look,
great when they gonna sixty one model for that one brute or whatever was bs,
it is missing that is definitely missing. Those games and thus, beyond his ds, puts one for our generation was missing, games oversee marxist on exports game
I'll switches like helped solve offset that
middle or promises leaf. Quite bethesda, their acquiring solve game
she goes all the time. It's been a snap, so this is a lot of promise. There is. The promise of these games will eventually come they just not,
a moment said, I think they were lying on like unite the assassins, creed Hannah watchdogs side, a punk, they saw things to be the drawer for this particular council,
but there is also available in peace. Wife, so is ready, is really game pass and, and those of around launch game shoes
nor the launch
relying on assassins creed- you like
your bidding against exclusivity, taking place
We agreed on a number of sensing refrigerators at this point like as you
we also urge the council became her seems a good markedly different way to think about owning, acquiring playing video
ams. Did you feel that right away or was just like? Well, I'm hang for another substance service now here I think lake sickening postal is
incredible value at the moment. Right like he pay ten bucks a month and you get more than a hundred games, constrain them and can play them actually on.
Cells as well. So it's more like that
the streaming side of its like an add on, but it is
shaping out to be so like a net fixed for games, but it does come with the fact that is or digital you don't own. These games, they can disappear, publishes just decide. You know we don't
I came in there anymore he's gone
so decides to put the prices up. We see that frequently with netflix. The price will go up so this
think we are heading for an era in gaming, which is a little uncomfortable, perhaps cause if if, if the same thing happens with like the netflix side of things,
we get a bunch of different streaming services and you have to have a subscription.
the games you wanna play than he and pink
love money when you could just bought those games,
individually. So I felt
where I saw a tipping point to see how myself does
because they're the ones that already come leading the way in the gaming sides menaced
It is of a city, their own thing and a bunch of other.
ass dreamy services like amazon as well, but none of them, none of them, have the breadth.
The content myself does at the moment so based solely,
spinning up if nintendo international, spinning up scan me instinct
sir, but I feel like exports. Game policies is great value for now, and I think it will be in
future. Just adieu adieu worry about the ownership side and the pricing
everyone alike and looked into that so subscription a bunch of what
we see this to other, but what's coming in a flexible, leading netflix indict the next thirty days of the sleeping netflix I gotta go watch everything now the aid
if you're going to need to keep an eye on? What's going to leave, xbox game pass and you're going to have to like? Oh, my god, this
is going to disappear in a week. I need to try and finish it right now and get like forty hours into a game or something that's what I'm afraid of yeah.
I think at the moment like getting per se, is really good. If it thoroughly now, will you and pirates who had discovered some games? Is this
John. There is great for that.
Especially if you're new to an expert. So I like is a great stein point, slice and, and the peculiarly ea games coming to rest of it's like there's a law but yeah. I just don't know where it's heading so the,
thing it's really interesting to me is how much you seem to love the xbox series ass. I introduced.
Because it so small and cute, like I just that
was the first casting most people like. Oh, I want to get the good one, but there's something that's appealing about the the series assets just like I'll get it as my game pass machine yeah, and I think that that's pretty much what it is like to me. I keep describing.
Lieutenant you pay machine, so there's a little people who still plan to navy tvs, rivers in livery, blue in the bedrooms for our kids to plant,
I e and monitors and it feels
it is designed for those saw people didn't care about for K that their poverty-
maternity pay, they have an experienced, perhaps fuquay on the benefits of it and they don't really care about it. And yet it does feel like the perfect game plus machine, and it's just so small and I think I've I come into my living room. Let's see let the peers five and unlike coal,
every time I seriously big and I see the
What's in asylum, like someone knocked over my exports,
as legislators strangely designed this this time round the lake and
it s just like it's not the greatest.
I'm not like my way, prefer that design and its slots in anywhere like its assessment is it
they ve ever done something that just
It was my inner catch it person and it does everything
It's. What series ex does pray much just allow resolution less priorities is way.
I subscribe at a lower resolution, but also you're going to need to juggle storage way more often with it yeah. That's the worst part about it. That's the kind of I feel like say it's. Five hundred and twelve gig ssd
Okay, said she usable is three hundred and sixty four, so that actually matters there's like there's there's. Definitely one hundred k games like call of duty, I've told you it's like one hundred and fill out their destinies like one hundred and eight bullets going to get gonna get smaller,
If he's the one of those your ego like enough
for five games. Maybe
maybe the lesson that and the need for which is like ouch
storage expansionist super expensive, yes,
in twenty dollars, so that puts the price up to ninety five. Twenty. If you go for that,
more than the series ex nor I e walking half again capture storage, but that's not the point yeah. I just,
the story. Situation is a problem. I feel that microsoft could have bought out different sizes of those to which causes that would have helped, but ultimately, they're, probably going to introduce one terabyte,
as some point in the future, surely, sir, which will addressed that, but it doesn't help runner. Sir, that's does does the big drawback closely.
And the men. So they want asked where we're in a time of peace, five,
insane hard or in a minute, but it is. I've talked to you about it, it's as it answered
at it. The controller of the ps five is the thing re, meaning that the applicant countries
seem like its stand out. Why
this is a new experience, is or anything like that with the xbox boxes. Not
like no, not like the digital shaken his eye, you see dealership, there's one thing: I think that is actually
the experts has. It appears. I've lacks a quick regime, quick resume yet here but late. The peers five has light similar, like techniques like to get there.
it's not quite the same, but quick regime like basically
cycle cycle between. If I say five or six gives us the rough good estimate we could be more could be less
I've seen games. They loaded like sometimes a lady like a few seconds but easy within ten seconds. Super kid. If you're playing
like my best examples, if you're playing in the middle of payment ory like a single play, a game, and then your friend invite you to pay for nihilism. It are you like
No need to like finish this and kits are safe. When you don't you just hit the invite and go into the other game like he didn't you start to forget about safe once said bigot for that that yeah, that is, that exports, it's killer, feature for sure
but I mean that's xbox killer feature about it. It's itself
software rights right here, where's, the peers, five, the control alike,
is genuinely. I don't have a game changing
I just said I mean in in a one narrow sense. It is
literally again to what will actually take a break in come back and, I repeat, has five virulent and answer actually reviewed that council. That reviews out you wrote
if a controller works, there's just a lot to talk about. So let's take a quick break, we'll be out
the hey, I'm ryan, reynolds at mid mobile. We like to do the opposite of what big wireless. Does they charge you a lot? We charge you a little so naturally, when they announced they'd be raising their prices due to inflation, we decided to deflate our prices due to the
hating, you that's right. We're cutting the price of meant unlimited from thirty dollars a month to just fifteen dollars a month, give it a try: men, mobile dot com, slash, switch new activation, an opera payment for three month plan required taxes, and these extra additional restrictions apply.
He met mobiles. Our comfort full terms were back pierce five b aside its big it looks.
It is amazing to me how the design of this council is.
So wacky that I'm like, I should buy an xbox.
Is that yeah is s weird rightly. Vets have now you're supposed to think about the council's latest.
That someone he likes to use what their living room looks like and and is very, very intricate about it. Like the p s, five is just a big. No, no to me,
Can I can't put it in anywhere where it doesnt really like just shot out and said
hey, I'm here,
Let me in literally last week, actually on the show is: I walked into watching my boyfriend's living room and so ps five like about out here, yeah, that's it
the steady indictment of hissing by
Ideally, you know this is
big moment. Do you gonna buy new tv, sound bar?
like all the stuff away in a closet.
I believe it.
Did you like an eighty rat closet, Reilly
I thought I'll just say: it'll get a better house. Am I going to run a fifty foot hd? My two point. One cable like that is going to cost three thousand dollars a look at the data we all make sacrifices. This is the time that this is the first console that really justifies home renovation, because you don't want it out in public
we live in a mansion like that. You can have a p s five in every written right, exactly so desire. Well, actually, let's talk about you've got it. There you were saying earlier, like it looks, imposing talk
the actual design of the thing and how it how using it just plays out is it
do you get used to it. Is it here, like? I don't feel cookery
got used to the design. To be honest, I think just because I have slotted it into my tv stand and it looks kind of goofy. On it's side, I tried to stay
open on my edge set to put on the floor because it's late system,
ready for him with my livery minor, so how
He got used to it, but I will say, like they're just boxes. It
shove, undue tv or money, like you, don't have to figure out bid awaits a fish of monday,
only once is under their own is out the way and a few months down the line. It's the stuff like
the controller and the new, so games and the content selection that really matters right. An aids that that controller is like here like this,
I think, before we talk about good hardware, one of the things that, as you pointed out in vir noses too, and he actually showed it to me. The stand for the console,
you're radically. This is only a problem what's, but it's actually really. We
weird and complicated, and strange- and it's got like you- do a twist thing- those a hidden chamber where the screw goes and its thicket literally. Take me like ten minutes
when a car like ie in like this
most confusing thing I think of ever unbox didn't like totally let ten
well, I never easy on boats like phone or laptop and don't know.
to do so? You don't have to go into the menu receives you look a sticker.
Just guides, there's like nothing,
and I didn't realize that you had to twist it right and it just it, took me awhile to figure out
when she twisted is like a little screwing society take out of its little compartment free, there's a secret capable
for a screw. I mean, I think, was a submit at polygon who thought that was so clever. He wrote an entire post about it. That's it's like yeah! You! It's been a long time since there's been a new console generation to write about what screw you let
The screw around like in a gap play station trophy indiscreet night and they eat it. I the stand is pointless.
I'm just going to say that, like I have it where it sits on the floor right now, but I have it on the floor. Without the stand, it stands. Fine,
without the stand. I don't understand what it there's a stand, but honest.
I just kind of need it because it does a little bit of a weird wobbly sense:
As you know, it's funny. I bet, there's gonna be like cases for the past five others theirs.
I already third party wings that you can get. Then somebody had to like tamp it down because they were using the wrong branding or whatever there's going to be a whole lot of shady plastic things that you can replace that
wings with yeah here. If you look, if you are a tick tock hustler with authority printer out there
There is a market for you right now to square off the p s, wife things
Yes, that's the weekend duncan. That is what we ve been going on for months. Quite honestly,
we ve got even mean used. It tell me more about this control because that that it's, the one that we read
we ve written about it, which in pictures everyone whose
come into contact with it has said it's amazing: its will
I feel that one of the things tat we are going to have to go in experience. It's really get it.
but it s just seems like a step change.
A game changer. If you will,
for how we how we think about it and controls.
It like it is, is very different and we'll see a lot of controllers have had haptics and rumble features over the years. You can go the way bats like and sixty four days if you want, but like is not that right, it the best way
is this a fucking game that comes built into the console, so it's called asteroids playroom, I think is, is the one thing that everyone, if you buy a p s five, you just just play that came before you. Do anything else,
because it's slept such a good demonstration that control, unlike used the first
You do your sound like a tiny little fan and then use
down and click coins along on the way, and as you come off that fan everything about where you're walking fills different like it or feels like you can feel them to belief. Your feet, changing
many slide down. It feels that there's a hard slide beneath your the palms hands.
And then you get to the san is like a pittsburgh underneath your feet and you go to like the woods and it all feels very different and, and it really like, you start to feel it, and you know it's like one of those delights as you like ooh. This is
This is cool. I think this is called. Then you pull like a rope and the actual tension.
The triggers a just sites like is fighting with the actual control, is fight physically flying movie. To make you feel
like you, pulling that rope and opening the door, and it's that that's like the two very different PA think is more detail.
Is the hat. Chicks are amazing. I think that better than nintendo switch attics that there
as good or bad and the iphone optics. Is that subtlety,
you know my phone, you hold down the flashlight, you get that less slight. That's why I'm happy feedback is like that, but just
Imagine feeling that closer palms and feeling like an liking, spiderman the corona comes.
Just stops and it like stumps across your hands
It feels like ie you going the way of him three. His is, is hearts alike to score.
Obtaining already is one of those things, but the real turning point three with the control is when I m in ashtrays, like a couple of minutes. In u turn?
like a spring loaded, gadget toy thing and you
We feel the tensions that you have to pool the attention of the trick is to really get the spring till I release. Then you just filled him releasing it. Just I don't know
about it. Just the feedback is great. Like it really feel like you're controlling that spring is, this is great.
The big question for me, especially with the attention the triggers one. I have really
game designers think
through these things, are not just like turn everything up to max just cause it's their here but too. I hope you design is actually code to it. Right back
please, I was going to get some exclusives, but there's going to have a bunch of cross platform games, and I think that's that's the question over at the moment. It's like how much will these be used in like in spider man? It doesn't feel as prevalent.
Raised it lay ashtrays, is definitely a showcase society showing off the new controller, but then,
fortnight there
make some smg effect seep, it's filled, the guns were filled with different when you shoot and another game in a comment board, it's called but like the tree
look up when you can look up.
Which has a crazy which is like a crazy
different solve element that we had before
like an mba, you you'll be like running along new york. Carrots will get tired so then
it becomes increase in aid to the resistance. Is there see after
He pushed down like at him to livestock moving, I oh my gosh. I mean I always blame
The controller when I lose and now it'll be real that'll, be true.
To me, seems
a conversation. I that's boxes was lots of grass.
Improvements in new game distribution system, a unified.
series- s freer bedrooms- he beat it
maybe p this
This conversation is there's a man
thankfully different way to experience video games because of the controller in that regard,
how ridiculous the box looks. That's me. That's like the deciding factor of your thinking. Ps3
his xbox and you know sonys com.
the game library, because that's how sunday does it? And my
I've made only acquisitions they get. It smells like. Why wouldn't because it
So damn in my living room and I'll get in trouble
that's like all we got? That's that
it's like sony was like that. You good luck,
cyber Ashraf that's the thing that the best console would be
The one had like the design of the experts,
that is obvious sports isn't great, but the design of the series s with the controller of the pierce five, unlike a mixed
like game pass, and so in this case it's that would be like the dream. Concern is the same as that. If you mixed android and I was to go, there, isn't a perfect want. That is, I think, like the xbox,
I also feel different in games, but for different reasons like they games games so different because their running smoothly, they don't feel different in your hand and then the pistol
those economic games run like a smoothly as well. That control is definitely is like the key thing to the peers. Five to me,
so the piazza doesn't have the quick resume feature that lets you balanced between four different games, but
time is still really good and they have this
they redesign their homes screen. So it's got the same tiles, the top, but at least they put me off in the corner and different tab, but then, when
each hover over an icon. There's all these options, till I jumped to different part of the game are like.
Sperience. They do this thing here. Others, like a second row of tiles for doing stuff. Did you use that stuff? Was it
was it cool. I haven't reuse that much but yeah like ebay, ski can jump into. Let's say say like fortnight than we can't test for my yet, but like the idea,
Is the EU just jump into the motor you wanna rode up robin have to worry about going through the menus and slates unearthing says, like you know it
reminds me of tremble at the deep linking windows phone light from the title, wade pin a tail on and it would go deep into the app that sort of thing. It reminds me of that, and I think that's great
because I is as long as all the dev support it and stuff like that is a really good experience cause you just it's just sandwich crickets like cause half the time you watch his splash screens or, like some part of that Uta, that you don't care about
each day, just wanna get light into the game right, sir. This
an interesting way of handling.
One of the things you start about is how these things are going to get to people raymond
we're talking about these controls.
how are you feeling,
to really understand it in any normal circumstance
best buy tried out, but it did obviously theirs.
Emma. He shouldn't do that, even if you could- and I don't think that you can,
The best way is announced the ex post
He s wise are only to be sold online for the entire holiday season. The sound
is basically selling people not to line up its stores on there.
State aid to just
like this thing is going to be very different for people to get the units we are expecting them to sell out. Obviously, how is that part
out for both of the council's here's, this kind of a bit of an unknown at the moment because say and if he might
just doing quite the same. I feel that this stupid mean stores
As far as I am aware, they have announced that if anything different, but I think the
and unlike the supply, is gonna be interesting. I feel like these things are gonna, be pre,
in demand, especially over the festive period. So I wouldn't be surprised if
We don't really see the ability to get them installs until like early next year, just generally, a crystals anyway now mean all my prisoners were an absolute fiasco for both of these theirs.
To be lost,
if the things available at some websites and the chances like the people that couldn't get in on preorders, are going to be even more eager to try and get in this time, the bots are going to go crazy
on these websites, they're gonna, know at times to show up. You know the the
Took me up like people like rushing into the store and there's a frenzy to get one there been each other up and whatever we're gonna have the on line equivalent of that first, the next three months, just I'm just I've, just go
trying, I want one or both of these, and I just know
gonna, be such a pain to do it that I've, just in my heart, accepted that me playing on.
One of these councils is amid twenty twenty one thing I mean, that's poorly is probably fettes minutes. I think, like this,
it s a poorly, be of a fella.
Sustainable fishing.
others out into the markets. I feel that will probably be easier to get the who come on. I mean of it
the whole series I mean this is your framing and maybe it's not microsoft's framing, but that the series ss, the the second one that you buy yeah I mean it's the budget,
oh all at the one for your bedroom or your kids, your kids, the playful now yeah, it's the one, but that's what it is that if you have a four k tv, which many many people do now you want to get the most out of it, and so, like my it's just when the xbox,
One acts was out in all of the stores were full of xbox one s is. I was
Well, I don't want that one and what I want to do. I want a good one, and I,
I feel like that's where we see a lot of series s stock, just like floating around cause ever and ever upgrading to a new council generation,
he's gonna want the biggest embarrassed, one
an annual sort of failure, other rooms,
the elderly early adopts its agenda, one the delays in the greatest they don't want something.
Let's not deem ok, they live.
at an identical. Availabilities can be like this. The priorities
such a mess that you can just tell I am that the immediate graphic cars have been at that level was of a disaster like this is none of them. I can hear
hamley consoles, might sultan sonya making its only making more than microsoft? We don't know like we should point out
to the demand for game consuls. Overall, this through
if nintendo had
earnings this week. Switch
switch. Sales are continuing to be so good that
actually raise their forecasts for this,
so even in the face of massive
trend, consul launches switch sales are just clippin right away at high rate. So,
I do think this is gonna, be something to track other just how
had this conversation bypassed by saying it and saying out loud I'll, buy them both.
we shouldn't. We should talk about one last console thing before we break, and that is how exciting it's going to be to try and make sure that the next t v you buy successfully, has all the features and lights that you want the console.
No sir, I have promised a one hour hd my deep dive. I've never
a one off joke on the cast risk,
in so many people saying. Actually that will be
Please give us the one hour hd my deep dark. Here's my promise tee when, when it's,
when, when this election chaos is over, which we are hoping as soon we will provide
the soothing relief that brings our nation together,

We're just gonna go deep into HT mind one when hurts hurts. When
time's running costs has been reviewing tvs where we're in taiwan
stir cables? It's gonna, be amazing.
Shielded on she'll, do you got a big decisions? Remain cable bail?
I was so disappointed when I plugged the series ex ante. My forty four wp Mona, which is

really, the president hd via the phone, whoever that is
It is an industry where innovation is powerful enough to put its logo like it's weird logo. On the back of the xbox series, ex, not one but twice its, you would get it. It's like.
what is the one organization that got its logo on their not once or twice its age,
based on my the killer. Is anybody confused about how the xbox max I promise I'll

Dieter yeah, I got to say,
apple is like she's like this is
one of the deadliest weeks of like
check out the others? I was reviews of things coming out.
Embargoes were alongside signed, but in terms of people like making news,
of the deadest weeks and tech ever I thought was approved
we for me to relaunch my attacked by techniques newsletter mega drake. They just apples like I at Monday's nothing's happening tomorrow,
here's here's an event invite from eggs to in any event
one more thing it is like if there was
for a time when I didn't need one more thing containing before the election and its own exports long stay.
And ass, soon ass. It was just so what it's like a widow,
apple, live apple, lives above geopolitical, why chaos loves lives above other companies. So what
more thing event.
on the last earnings call had earnings a weird quarters. You would expect for them. Iphone push
the october iphone sales flat
there's not a new one, Maxwell's weigh up, but that earnings, but apple did find the middle money. Each sector makes a promise old with
little bit different. But on that call simply said, we have some great things coming up for the year, we have been
acting. They announced they are max before the end of the year shares big event, one more thing: everyone's expecting
apples not tampering damage expectation, since they ve taught how to better that here we go
so margaret over Bloomberg says that currently there ramping up production on new thirteen
sixteen inch macbook prose and a new thirteen inch macbook air, and that at
events. What we are expecting to get are going to be the thirteen inch macbook pro and macbook air that are going to look identical to the current versions, but have apple silicon inside
like if you were to stay awake once the most defaults prediction you can make. That's what are you one of what is going to be its? That
What one interesting say my girls are parties said the process based on a fourteen which
makes sense in many ways the current developer unit me
that is running in a serious chip. I think, as an eight twelve z bionic, something like that yeah, it's the it's the one on the ipad
through so make, since they were just jobs the next one, but there have been a lot of conversations about what if you dont have to manage heat on a mobile device
what, if you can add, even more gp cores to bring up to that where you would consider desktop class performance, so I think there's a lot of questions about what this chip will actually be. I don't think it's a dead ahead, a fourteen right! Well, so they can, they can. They can put in just more cpu cores. They can go put in gb you corps,
could be you but bionic machine learning. Several knows what that's gonna do the math context. My hope is that they do something specific with the ship.
handle running acts that are designed for arm, read that they specific
We have some sort of really good subsystem that the ship powers to use
up apps that haven't specifically been designed for these new chips.
I'm sorry, I misspoke it's an eight thirteen z bionic in them, and I said a toilet to the understand, I'm kind of surprised that they're doing a macbook pro with jan. I thought I like honesty full that they bring back macbook.
that's. What I get want wanted here, understand, go the honorary like that way. Some support
they going the prey first. It must be very confident in like that performance is the that these women they run. If it is it's a test period for this,
I've been on stage like a bunch of the last couple of years and telling their performance against. You know basic lack basic windows, laptops even against
experts, consuls Jimmy you said, and I think this is about
asked rising like this is the case
to life? Like
everything's lining up, so I think is
really gonna put the pressure quoth? He I mean putting putting the pro this way.
it is a huge chest that moment. I really hope that
apple finds awaited differentiated from those previous just dump moment you.
about. They need to do more than just show of final cut render time right. They need to do more than
The sort of standard performance stuff that we know it's probably gonna- be fine at
to show us something where we don't think it's gonna perform, while her word nervous about a performing well and just kills, that's what I want to see out of them what
The first thing the show us is either you they're calling rosetta again, but that's there on the fly.
translation layer between stand.
An ex eighty, six apps and arm. That's that!
I want to see I want to. I want to see them running late,
photoshop
the six version
through theory, rosetta and working just fine, if not better, without destroying the battery life of this new thing like that, I think that's a first test, apples,
managed to process are transition before I think they know they have to show that two people and then
English second test is what
What can you do now in this form factor? Is it everything's
where's basely. Basically ever but battery life has been doubled
or is it
They, the the apple world, is like we ve picked a number of
hours a battery life that we think is reasonable and that's what you get right
That's like basely having day that's how to handle the funds raised like what we think you can get a day and so
will manage about that. Instead of putting huge, rather in there we'll get you a day,
the camera sensor. We beggars like that's third debate,
I wouldn't say I'm interested in particularly with the air which has media
the battery life right now, if they say
what a performance about the same, the battery left got way longer, or is there at we're pretty happy with battery life? The performances way,
If right, yeah, that's gonna, be the interesting trick, the tricky balance or even if they go to the polls,
What is worse, giving their do that. I correct
Imagine sober like
there's, no way they introduce a pro that slower, like they don't put a pro macbook out there unless it's way faster false.
I must must have been, though I was surprised to see those the macbook pro having such I just figured that they would solve. This
be a gradual thing to do. Gg think they'll have lt
who
I like you know, that's the benefit of arm right down on the windows alongside is thus does. Does the faint I bet you, the answer is no and that it'll be once they fully integrated the intel team than they bought to make modems. That that'll be what brings five g to these laptops. Michael
I would say apple, has not been shy about shipping, slow com
it right and just that's kind of history of this smack line. It's like here's, an intel part
Two generations behind, where
throttle it a little bit in some
You're gonna hear the fan and that's what using a mac is like, so if they can just like how fat these are. These are the apple tree,
they are kind of interesting to reconsider. In this context, they are comfortable with a performance level
They are comfortable with a battery life.
They manage those things to form the factors that they think people like
opposed to letting those things dry, form factors which many many windows, laptop makers do it. Now I've got a new part, they could let them go and a lot of different directions.
and if they are just like what we're gonna do, because we all want to blow people's minds right away with a big processor shift is based.
Keep things as they are to bake it out and see where the problems
and say: well. The entire ones are still there or if they're gonna go
whole hog say we re the product five thousand times better battery life is
we'll performances doubled. It weighs a pound, less
pray like if you feel like you could get out there and we ve cancel the entire version. Like that's, I think that's the boldest place for them. I don't like that
that far the real interesting part is going to be like how sustain the performances, because of sione into parts. They have like fans that the falling can be controlled a lot better
what we see the performance and by the eye, friends in the ipad, they very good. Last short, bursts of performance and greedy optimize tasks
I'd love to see like cow, how they will build the software that wage level
why is the power of these chips? In my short passive
power or how they ve been able
sustain that performance and really push things forward. If we so like a full k, export in premier pray and they like
blisteringly quick compared to you
If we into-
anyone else that that could be a turning point like that soap.
Once I just want to know if crumb cuts the battery life and half or in a third. I answer a big question mark
we'll see how fast accounting moves their co base to arm and makes armor
and I mean I can tell you that the chrome or the chromium stuff on arm is just not that, then he then he people that region is mike. Sutra, like Google, still doesn't contribute
bunch that, as far as I can see, and it's like strange that crimes two isn't like fully optimized for windows and all like this, no bills. Yeah, I mean it's but like crow, a regular heavy
chrome on a mac is a battery life to surrender. A processor high put that through a translation layer on doing unproven chip in this application, flag will chrome way the matter, then you mac, worker and fire. That's like that.
you if they did like post game press conferences after these keynotes alike
excision, quick question:
is it true that the macro caroline on fire, if you use the human claim for border now,
that's happening. The tenth
while others have complete coverage of that?

If person with big hands like the foremost big, go check that out
I am very eager to see how this place out and whether that sizes, as big as it seems like I spent cause. It's real big, casta, big,
we got a new new deja. I don't call them ethic many to drown still kept at it.
at exactly the right way to not after the idea which I love you inside
I bought a maverick mini one like two weeks ago
if you're, so that what are you doing? I could have told you there's rumours well, I needed weep. I was gonna drive the tree.
Through puddle, and I wanted to fly the trend yellow. Then you need course who need like that met cream is buying it that met. Everyone is like good. Everyone has a bad time to buy it all times are always
Fine, it's just a toy you screw around with. I don't need aki, sank or four k. I'm gonna buy the new one. Okay yeah! Absolutely
we by anyone, yeah tom face, are joining us check out
ps five review, xbox sears, x, X, boxer,
es reviews on the site there, videos just come
Everyone, Tom is obviously it in
in london, like we
the video across the ocean. That's pretty cool check it out.
Then we get apple the next week, so big weaken
Imagine he was going into another big week, a guardian. He was excited for it. If what you came here for some deep platform policy talk, we had a whole other mini episode of the french cast in the field right now.
Well, you can entreated us I met reckless dealers are back on. Tom is Tom Warren
