I put a pre order in on Saturday with Songbird Productions.

Songbird is pretty interesting... they have a lot of cool stuff.  It's awesome to see places like this still these days.  When I was doing my old business, I wanted (and was trying to setup) to create a segment that did exactly this and what other developer / sales sites do.  That would have been fun. Not sure how all the sales go for those home brewed games... or old console releases from developers.  I'm curious how long some of those games sit.

Sony - PlayStation 5 (PS5), PlayStation 4 (PS4), PS Vita, and PlayStation 3 (PS3) / Re: Sony could delay PS6 relea...

will all this effect the cost with $1000 becoming the norm for a game console?

I REALLY want to say no to this.  But... It seems like this is where it is going and by 2028 or 2029.... I see this as being very feasible.   Did you see the Steam Deck price increase topic?  Sounds like the Deck is going to be higher as well.

The other thing is.. back in the day, the PS3 was $599 for the 60GB model and $499 for the 20GB at launch.  Those prices were extremely high for when the PS3 came out.  Insane to think about, but $599 that many years ago adjusted for inflation is almost $1000.  Now I don't feel most wages kept up to really compensate... but... that's the inflation figure for today

@retro junkie not sure... but it is now loading.  It must've been a temporary issue.  The version that loaded for me only included the Banjo cart.  It doesn't look like 2 carts anymore.  Either way, this is pretty awesome

@Mai Valentine  --> gameplay trumps graphics.  That was what was a saying used so many times over on the old Forum.  It's been a long time since anyone has really stated that. I do agree, a lot of the gameplay is scripted these days.  New boundaries really haven't been pushed.  If you asked me though... I'm not even sure what new boundaries could be pushed after all the development since the 2000s.  A lot of it is rinse and repeat... and developers don't want to take risk and potentially ruin their business
