    The Cinemassacre staff members tried out the PS5 and the Xbox One Series X. I kinda want to try floating ping pong balls on the XThing's air vents. That looks kinda cool...

      Editing … Was MS drunk when designing the new Xbox controller colors? Whether you get blue, red, or green, the underside is still white, while the L/R buttons and dpad are still black, so what we end up with is a vomit inducing, tri color abomination. And as if that wasn't bad enough, there are little visual aid polka dots painted right on the casing next to the buttons, which is not only egregiously condescending ("I'm new to Xbox family of devices and don't know which one the A button is! Oh god, someone help me!!") but it completely defeats the point of taking away the colors from the buttons, and easily the grossest thing about the controller, perhaps even overtaking the cheap looking Christmas LED guide button. Thanks to the current shipping shortage the respectable colors (white and black) ones are out of stock, so I have to either settle on one of these frankenstein colors, or buy used. Thanks a lot, Obama.

      Editing … Robot white Xbox controller is in stock on Amazon, but I suddenly feel I'd maybe rather have a black one. There's just something about white that isn't 'luxury'. And the LED looks strange against a light color. Depends if you can disable that though. I'd better be able to disable it. If I can then maybe white is ok. Not sure. P.S. I bought a PS5 controller and a Hori Pikachu controller. They are supposed to arrive today. I'll see if I end up deciding to use either of those.

      Editing … I see a listing for a used Xbox One S digital edition with a **blue** Xbox Series controller. That's perfect for playing Sonic Frontiers!! I think I'll get it, waddya say? EDIT: I won't on second thought. The colored controllers are still hideous, even if it's a blue one being used to play a Sonic game. I know I'm going to hate it. (Besides, maybe I should get an Xbox Series S instead, for the faster loading times via SSD? That seems way sexier.)

      Editing … I bought a used original model Xbox One. The front panel cane off when I was trying to lift it out of the box. Maybe I should have grabbed it by the sides rather than the front and back. But how the hell was I supposed to know? What a piece of junk. Should have gotten the S model. (or, y'know, a Series S/X seeing as there's no reason to get a One anymore. But I like old shit. Sue me.)

      Editing … Oh hey, it actually works. Power button works (despite it being a capacitive touch button on the front panel that broke off) and I was able to factory reset. Now I'm required to enter an account though. Fine, fine. I'll do that, download some demos, and then buy a used game to check whether the disc drive works.

      Editing … I've heard the Wii U often referred to as the best console to hack, since it functions as a nearly complete all-Nintendo device up to that point. It won't play 3DS or Switch games, maybe not Virtual Boy either, but that's still a massive back catalog. I know the PSP can emulate GBA games, so a modded Vita is probably a handy all-portable system, sans 3DS. With the 3DS, well, you bypass the ever-inflating Nintendo tax.

      Editing … I've only tried one GBA emulator on PSP but it hides the battery icon and the volume bar, making it effectively unusable. I know there's another GBA emulator (RetroArch) which I haven't tried yet, I heard it's not good but I should try it out for myself. P.S. Vita has this thing called Adrenaline which turns it into a PSP. But Vita can play PSP games either way, so I don't see why it would be necessary to install Adrenaline for the vast majority of users. It gives you access to PSP homebrew, I suppose? Can't really think of another reason.
