I'm sure this will interest some people but, for me, this on par with the controller hoodie in terms of how little I would care to spend money on it.

Yeah I feel similar. Only the oddest of people would want this enough to spend more than $1 on it. Lol

From the same guy that thought the PS5 plates at $50 was absurd... now a cheap plastic over his loved toy at $50 is amazing lol

Yeah he's a straight cornball, they don't even hide their bias.

U seriously expected a single shred of integrity from Tom Warren?

The comments on that verge story are already embarrassing. Man Xbox has the most shameless fans.

What prevents me the most from buying an Xbox as like a secondary console to just have Gamepass and stupid games in it is their fandom. Fuck if I'll buy a console from a company that sponsors that kind of tribal behaviour

They have lots of shills too. I still remember the 'best deal in gaming' campaign and how prevalent it was. It's been clear for a while that MS has many "fans" who are simply there to mitigate bad news and hype up MS products. Whenever I see stuff like this:

Way better than selling a new console and using electricity to transfer all data. Honestly, I kind of appreciate the ecofriendly approach here.

I get more of a 'shill' than 'fan' vibe.

That console (and the Starfield gamepad) look very good.

I think Microsoft should replace Aaron Greenberg with Tom Warren. Tom makes a way better job working as Microsoft PR & marketing in social media.

Looks reall good. But i think you can get same quality stuff for cheaper.

Yeah. I noticed that EXACT comment. It takes pennies of electricity (or less) to transfer that data. The amount of resources needed to manufacture, package, and ship that stupid looking "wrap" is WAY beyond what it takes to move some bits around.

Beyond clueless.

Yep, but "ecofriendly" sure is a great buzzword, isn't it? Even though the person saying it has no actual idea what it really means, it's one of those words that's sure to draw positive attention to a product.

Am I the only one that finds it hysterical that this lists the consoles specs on it 12 terraflop monster but the game it's for can only run at 30fps on it

Yea I find it funny too, watch they move goalposts as PS5 Pro emerge.
