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.

Just listened to the Q & A about just this subject (great show as always). Yes the graphics looks crisp and future facing as many a Nvidia demo has done over the years. But why the hate at a team. they are telling us about what they are seeing (with there trained eye) and for one I respect that. Gaming is an ever evolving medium which crosses boarders. I've many people on my friends lists that I've never even met, But we are friends and have a lot in common. The people that have given death threats to the team should be ashamed of themselves.

I do hope Microsoft pull it out the bag. If the new Xbox is indeed a fully fledge console/PC hybrid and is up there with great performance, you can count me in as long as it's no more than £1000. But if not then a new PC it may have to be.

I also like the name Project Helix. Not as good as Digital Foundry but hey hoe

Just seen a post stating the prices for bot the 512Gb and the 2Tb has been leaked by a Czech retailer. $950 for the 512Gb and $1070 for the 2Tb. the leak is from the retailers source code.

just saying

I loved my Xbox 360. and the amount of features they added over time was great also. Ripping CD music to the console and playing that music instead of the games soundtrack. The Blades absolutely rocked just like Arcade live and yes the updated metro interface wasn't all that bad either. From a better more refined Xbox live to full game installs i loved this generation. The 360 was backed up by a better online service never having to go off line on Tuesdays was it? for the PS3. Yes Sony had to play catchup (they smashed it with the PS4 though).

Don Mattrick proper did a job on all the great work done here.

Oh and thanks for the video Rich and John. Memories made have come flooding back with this video. having a new console now doesn't have the same wonder like the GOOD OLD DAYS. All the games are the same and the consoles them selves aren't that far apart.

Not really supprised by this but i would of wanted better specs to be honest. Love the new site , and thank Sam for the article.
