Gutted they've done this to be honest. But im happy I invested in the PC adaptor.

Was playing on the COAL multiplayer map just yesterday and there was a gun sticking out of a rock by the spawn point. After the game ended i watched the match back and flicked between all the opposing team and low and behold three of em was glitching into a rock. Great game but they really do need to sort it out already, only been out for 10 days..

@TheBrainninja I didn't know and still don't LOL

@wsjudd Cheers Will.

@WSJudd as @Littlefriedo said in the links its CRKD

the Techs OK and the article is fantastic thanks DF!!!!!

I have to admit this years call of duty is OK. better than the previous few.

I do recommend these mice. My son has a wireless M50 and that in itself is super lightweight. If my Logitech G305 dies a death then i would probably get one of these.

I've a 8Bitdo Snes controller and i love it. I'm looking at this and i'm in GOTTA GET IT MODE!!

Can't say these tickle my fancy. If i can hear someone talking like the wife or my son, it'll put me off and take my attension away from the game. With the game being more important LOL!!!!!!

What if the Helix is just a downloadable OS for the PC along with the new console / consoles and that is the familey of devices. Could helix be more about the OS than the hardware it's running on.

Once again great content.

This is now in my to watch list.

Thanks guys

I've a bog standard Xbox pad for my PC and it's great. Don't care much for the elite controllers and i certanly don't give a rats bottom about GYRO!!!!!!

I've a Ps5 and i don't even use gyro on that. It's like asking for the 256 levels of pressure on the buttons a gimick i don't use.

You know my Gigabyte M28U does a great job at 4K. I don't think i'll be down grading my pixels any time soon.

My space is taken up by the Logitech G560, they're good and all but these look spot on. if by anychance my speakers die by hammer (oops ) then ill have to have these.

@FractalFlow I have way to many games to plays. over a 1000 on my xbox account 400 ish on my PS account 300 plus on steam over 200 on the Epic games store (Don't use it tho) and i emulate a lot of retro systems ( complete ROM packs over 4TB's of em ). Plus i'm stupid LOL.

I use my son's PSVR2 with the VR adaptor for PC. To be totally honest i carn't be arsed setting it up every time.

As the @TheMightyAnt said above, to many games not enough time (I'm a dad also)

@themightyant i have a psvr2 and the adaptor for the pc. Used it for all of 5 minutes to show off the start of Half-Life Alyx, and my does it look good. You start on a balcony looking over the city with striders walking between the buildings. But that is as far as i got. I really must play the game. It's defo a killer app.

I'm now gonna buy as many older games as possible (Only the one's i don't have). The first one for me would be Fifa 14 as you can't download it anymore. Maybe due to licenced music.

Am i Happy about this, You'll be god dam right i will be.
Thank you @WSJudd for the great news

@StooMonster agree totally, if the super series was released Id of had that instead. I sold my (pre FSR 4.1) RX 7900 XTX for the 5070TI and I'm not really sure I'm getting the returns. I think this'll be in my sons computer before to long. As long as my wife does hear me typing out my credit card into the scan computers website, I think I'll be fine. Please don't tell her that.

I have a Nvidia card happy days. but will it run any good is the question?????

7800x3d
32gig (5600)
RTX 5070 Ti

In my oppinion the Xbox series X is a better looking console than the Playstation 5. It's very well made and runs cool and quiet. would i be tempted to buy this maybe not as i'm saving for a Helix.

Nowt wrong in special editions. Games do it all the time for excessive costs.

I'll have it on GamesPass and install it on both PC and Xbox. I can play it upstairs or down. #HappyDays

I've plug my 5070 Ti in and i won't be unpluging it anytime soon. I'm likely to just leave the cable in the card and just move them both between systems if i need to move it. I've a Corsair RM850 and it does the trick.

@RandomPoster I really hop MS do allow a disk drive. My PC is digital but i still have an external DVD drive.

Fingers are crossed.

Sony really did twist the knife when the microsoft Xbox one was at E3. I do feel that the shoe is on the other foot now. Yes it's a win for Xbox with tech we all didn't like when it was announced. It's funny how the so called good guys turn bad and the bad guys are just misunderstood.

Looks great but if i ordered these my wife would kill me. between me and my son we have Logitech g 435's x 2, turtle beach stealth 500 and 600 gen 2 and 3 respectivly (for xboxes) and i have black shark v2 for PC and black shark v3 x hyperspeed for my PS5.

I like the thought of one headset to rule them all but it's never been that easy. Maybe the next Xbox will allow bluetooth so i can use just the one headset. Fingers are crossed and my toesies

Thanks Will, you did say this was coming. The specs look great but would need to change them there PTFE skates, i agree they look pointy not like the G305's round little skakes.

I'd really hate for it to dig into my DF retro fighters mouse mat.

Great article, great work.

Good if you've a cheaper/older console and don't have the time or money to sub. i can see this working for some.

Not complaining about it, As we all know people who would benefit from it.

That container case is epic. I showed my son who loves trains and especially the Mearsk lego train (collectors item) we got hime for Xmas many years ago. anyhow I showed him and he said I've gotta have it.

So i guess my next PC build will be a mini ITX if Overtek does that case again.

Cheers @wsjudd

@wsjudd You have my fullest attention Mr Judd. My full attention!!!!

I've a Logitech G305 and the mouse feels mighty fine. I never really thought about the weight of my mouse before, just wanted a good brand really. Gone are the days of using a cheap Trust £10 mouse on my packard bell P60 computer.

Best pointer i've ever had is the Logitech Trackman Marble (God i loved that thing), They are over £100 if you can find one still in the box. Now that makes me sad.

I've just had these as i'm a big fan of both games.

both look just plain ugly with out any of the new technology to make games look better. also no 120hz mode.

i hope they get better with some patches. multiplayer is also bad due to match making taking ages. just like the originals if someone leaves the lobby it'll knacker up the lobby.

2/10 for both need to do better and fast.

I love my 8bitdo C64/vic20 retro keyboard. Had it for £85 off Amazon with the joystick and big buttons (I never use them mind LOL). But i do like the look of some of the keyboards Will shows us.

Thanks Will great article as always

Just got my son a new mouse from Scan computers. it's a Cherry Xtrfy m50, it was only £24 UK pounds.

Do these here numbers from Sony include the people that are subscribed to playstation Plus just like me, as it's a digital service do these numbers get included. If so then why are they insulting our intelligence with BS.

Give us the numbers Sony with filters. Be more open about your numbers

Also i'm sick of losing control of games i've payed for. the prices are going up and we still don't own the fudging games what the kick and flip.

I'm gonna get it. completed GTA 5 on the Xbox 360 many years ago. own it on the PC, PS5 pro and XSX but never really played the remasters.

I'm not made of money i just buy them when on sale

I may have a go and install the OS on my PC. only thing is I don't know Bazzite. I've an Nvidia GPU you see.

Great work Will as always

I'd get them both but not at full price £30 each but i can't see that to be totally honest

I take it the price for the 2Tb and a controller is more than the £1208 of the box on it's own. Also where do they get the £8 from????

Sorry but at that price i'm waiting for the next gen consoles.

on scan computers theres a 1TB KIOXIA EXCERIA 7200 M.2 (2280) PCIe 4.0 (x4) NVMe SSD, 7200MB/s Read, 6600MB/s Write, 1000k / 1150k IOPS for £144 still inflated but still ok for the PS5.

#readyforGTA6

I CAN NOT WAIT!!!!!!!

I do think the life of this moatherboard still wont be a good as AM5 from AMD. I've a AM5 with a zen 4 7800x3D and i'm happy in knowing I've zen 6 and 7 to look forward to.

I bet this board costs a tidy penny also.

Looks an OK card if the price is right. But if its to close to the 9070 xt well I know what most would buy.

Thanks for the article Rich

Not looking right now as my GIGABYTE M28U is doing a great job. Looked on RTings for the rating when i ordered it and have been happy with my choice. even though the black levels arnt the best. Maybe it'll be a few years before i get a new monitor with supoer high refresh rates and great black levels. I've a Xbox series X, PS5 pro as well as a RTX5070 TI so 120HZ is what i mostly aim for. I try not to use frame gen to be totally honest.

So when i built my system, i had the parts from Scan computers in Bolton. I payed for an additional 32GB corsair kit at £105. Just because it looked nice with all the RGB switched on. I recently cashed in and sold it for £200. I don't do CAD or stream so i really didn't need it.

My 8bitdo VIC20 inspired keyboard with two massive mappable buttons and a retro stick at £85 if the most i'm spending this millenium. £350 wow thats a lot i'd have to sell the wife for one of those.

I tried RTX maps in minecraft on my PC using a RX 7900 XTX and low and behold they still worked. There's me thinking that anything RTX was locked to the Nvidia GPU platform. Performance was a little bit poo mind but looked nice.

Thanks for the read Rich

@Rich_Leadbetter Legend love the reply.

@Rich_Leadbetter Hi Rich love the POD and the site. Can i ask might the new Xbox Helix be the best Steam Machine if indeed it is going to be an open platform. Could that be a great play by Microsoft to offer a Xbox, PC and a Steam Machine. I hope Epic don't try and make a gaming box with that store UI, ouch!!!

thanks for all you do guys, and especially Rich for keeping the dream alive.

Migth the new Xbox helix be the best steam machine on the market when it's released?????? just asking.

I had a Riva tnt 2 ultra with 32mb of ram. felt like a true upgrade from an onboard cirrius logic graphics chip. didn't really upgrade until the 8800 gt now that was a jump and quake played great on both of them (the tnt 2 and the 8800 gt).

they'll make people really want it. It's what Apple does year in year out with the Iphones. Need one NO, want one Yes!!!

I'll have one as i always seem to do. But will be looking at Microsoft Helix also. May need a new PC by then so may use it as an upgrade if indeed it can support all the PC store fronts.
