  • Considering how far gone people hopped up on misinformation have become over the past decade, you’re looking in the wrong direction about where the slippery slope is.

    There are simple, objective standards to suss out good information from bad. We have seen that people are simply not good about filtering it out for themselves and will fall for misinformation purposefully if it serves their prejudices. Why not have an independent body verifying if information is worthwhile or not?

    All the people who bring up this nonsense are usually the types who are mad stuff like “COVID is a liberal hoax” is being suppressed.


  • I mean I was only thinking of the major, mainstream home consoles. But that’s why I said "may”, the history of experimental game consoles and regional price differences is a whole study itself. But certainly nobody at the time expected Sony to go from a more lower priced option to the most expensive one.

    The 20 GB isn’t remembered much because even the Xbox 360’s 20GB model was considered way too small even a year later. Even to this day, the basic model of any console or GPU isn’t really considered the standard, but the budget option.

    At least the PS3 let you toss in your own HDD though. The Xbox 360’s proprietary ones (and all its other accessories) were way more expensive.

    Really, with all the accessories considered, the PS3 was actually a cheaper console even at $100 more.
