There is no way Sony is selling the PS5 at $600. If anything, they'll be trying to undercut the Xbox Series X by pricing it at $450 or even $400.

[@LJlax20]

Tough one on the 20 questions. I say no good, only because they were too quick to look it up, and Justin was thinking of a different game 😂 sure 3 minutes of them thinking of a games name doesn’t sound fun, but a little more effort to make sure that they actually know the game and then they look it up to confirm I think would count as a win. But there’s gotta be some more effort there lol

[@kyleunderwood8404]

I was undecided this entire time but after being an Xbox owner for the last 2 generations, I decided to go with the PS5 digital and probably pick up an Xbox series S next year as a 2nd console. The biggest reason for me staying with Xbox was Halo....with the delay, I don’t have a reason for it right now when PS has so many exclusives I’ve never touched.

[@dreg9124]

Legitimate WIN of 20 questions IMO

[@monkeyspice2010]

legit win, no question. If there was a 2nd wario platformer on the wii, then no, you would have lost. This rule only applies to single release per console generation, as knowing the name then distinguishes it. (Example: You have to know which Mario Galaxy Daemon picks, you can't just say "Mario in outer space on the Wii" because he has been there twice.)

[@The_RedVIII]

Prince of Persia is a Remake because the graphics are completely redone. The character models are totally new, there is new voice acting with motion capture. The problem is, those graphics just aren't good. It looks like a remake that was done last generation and then kept in a vault only to release now for some reason. I don't know.

[@tyto3948]

While I am getting both systems, I am overall more excited about the PS5. Exclusive games excite me more than anything.

[@VooDooChild6971]

Wood Carving Partita at the end! Check out Sam Griffin’s guitar cover of that song.

[@SteveBot5000]

So for 20 questions, I think its okay to google the exact name of the game so long as you have communicated identifying details of it. BUT(first) if you want to limit it, then only allow it once per 20 questions. Make its something they have to use wisely.

[@SusuperHands]

wow, I just refreshed youtube and a new scoop!

[@veracityoffense2405]

That was completely cheating and I dont want to see it happen again, such shenanigans have no place in 20Q

[@TiVo67]

Wasn’t TMNT Turtles in Time Re-Shelled a remake done by Ubisoft?

[@monkeyspice2010]

Sure was. I actually own that still on my ps3 rofl. It was a remake of the arcade game though not the SNES. Not that great of a game just play the SNES version.

[@TiVo67]

It actually wasn’t that bad. Not as good as the original visually but I didn’t mind the attempt. They probably shoulda included a way to play the original as well and it wouldn’t gotten as much hate.

[@choombroom8153]

[@passmeabeer5636]

I’m inclined to say that you have to guess the name of the game to win. That’s part of the fun.

[@jza199x]

does anyone have the spreadsheet that someone made like 50 episodes ago with the entire 20 Q's win/loss list?

[@lukas1658]

are there any launch games announced for xbox series and ps5?

1. Agree with Justin. This was a win. 2. I thought the best thing about breath of the wild was its story which it definitely had and was quite touching IMO. 3. The series X is a better deal than the series S.

[@skarfester1987]

An all digital console with only a 500gb SSD that uses proprietary expansion cards. Have fun having 2 games installed and having to pay 200 extra for expanded storage.

[@PeterDB90]

As far as their video game 20 questions name arguments, I think there's a happy medium - I don't think you should be able to get a win if you DESCRIBE the game without even attempting to name it, but if you say something like "It's the 3rd installment of the 3D Prince of Persia games - it's like Prince of Persia the Two Towers or something" (actual name is Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones), then I think you should be able to get the win because you are nitpicking the minute details of the title. In this case, they should have gotten the win because Sam was trying to remember the exact title and kept rephrasing "Shake it" every possible way. Justin messed up because he was thinking of a completely different game, but if Justin would not have Googled it, then Sam would have gone into his mind palace and remembered it EVENTUALLY.

[@matthewsan78]

I think that counts as a win. I'm not a big Nintendo guy, especially during the Wii era, but I've never even heard of Wario Land: Shake it. That's a pretty deep cut if you ask me. I think knowing that it was the Wii Wario game should be good enough. SCOOP!

[@Settledown77]

$25 a month for two years!! That’s $600!! Then you need to buy batteries or a rechargeable battery pack per controller AND an external hard drive is essential as 500Gb is tiny for these new big games. The series S will be discontinued on 2 years like always. Xbots will eventually realise in a few years when the servers are turned off, their games (when they get some new ones) will be gone. Disc drives are better.

[@thunderwood]

I'm happy with my nice 1080p TV and don't see myself spending money on a 4k TV in the next 3-4 years. The Series S makes a lot of sense for people like me!

[@salmeza85]

[@lukas1658]

I missed those prince of persia games the platforming and combat I thought was fun and challenging. I really enjoyed the challenge of figuring out how to scale walls and solve the puzzles.

[@bradcuster]

Sorry guys, but the idea behind 20 questions is to name the game and not it basically. Unless I am wrong, the idea behind 20 questions is based on name that tune. You guys lost this week imo.

[@SENATORPAIN1]

wth fenyx rising even has ganons castle in the middle of the map.

[@cooloobahn112]

The prince of persia actually went on to become a forza driver which let you rewind to try again.

[@Doug_Hannon]

Buying an Xbox Series S up front and 2 years of Gamepass Ultimate would cost $660, while the two year plan where you get an Xbox Series S and Gamepass Ultimate for $25/month for 2 years works out to $600. So, it really is the same or cheaper.

[@reddchan]

I have two 4k big screen tvs but play on a small curved 2k gaming monitor and have no plans of buying a 4k gaming monitor and i don’t want a disc drive so the series S seems like the one for me and just get a memory card down the road.

[@zmj1799]

I replayed Sands of Time about 3 or 4 years ago and while that game still feels great and holds up well with they way they are presenting this remakes and the things they say they are fixing then this game should be fantastic. I really love this game and I can't wait to replay it. I hope everyone gives it a try. I love that Yuri is back as the Prince also. Also, like I know Aiden Pearce isn't the best video game character out there but I liked him alot! I hope Marcus and the rest of the San Francisco crew are brought into Legion at some point as well but I'm glad we get to see more of Aiden. It would be crazy if they had him working on something related to Abstergo. As the last time we saw him was in AC Origins in some video footage taking out Olivier. I love Watch Dogs and I'm more excited for Legion than I am for Far Cry or AC right now! Far Cry 5 sucked and the completely political "not political" story was dumb as hell and that's what FC6 seems to be doing as well. AC Valhalla is giving me weird vibes although I adored Odyssey. I think I am sick of the lack of focus on the main character and some other elements. Kassandra is one of my favorite AC protags but Eivor is looking extremely generic to me. We will see however. One last thing, where the hell is Splinter Cell!

[@AndreyZakharenko]

20 questions - No win! Can't google it

[@cptclown2110]

Scoop those goods right into my ears and eyes baby lol

[@face76]

That poll is funny as hell. Proves that the XSS won’t sell. Just like everyone other X1 console released during this gen. If anyone buys the Xbox it will XSX. If you don’t know what console you are getting by now then you are a casual console gamer and most likely play on pc. Justin is that person. The XSX is 3 times the power of the XSS. That is a big difference. I feel like the X1X would just be as good until the XSX comes down in price. Not everyone has 4k but 4k is the standard now. Both ps4 and Xbox made mid cycle upgrades for 4k gaming. So 4k gaming next gen should be there. The whole financing isn’t that good of a deal. You have to be approved for credit. Then you have to sign up to see if you can upgrade from the current gen to the next gen. There is no financing for the XSX/S yet. Plus, Xbox All Access has been around for awhile. You can’t even apply unless you find place. As for price, ps5 won’t be $600. I can see ps5 being $499 to $399. $399 would be super attractive to people who want next gen and a next gen digital for $100 more. I don’t see people jump ship just because Xbox has preorders first. I mean look at cellphones or even graphics cards. People don’t get a Samsung phone when they know an iPhone is coming a few months later. Btw, Xbox isn’t being pandemic friendly. Xbox is doing what it was doing since last year when the XSX was announced. So saying the $300 was planned around the pandemic is bs. MS has to be competitive this gen. The Wii was sold by Nintendo as a second console. They even said buy a PS3 or 360 but make the Wii your second console.

[@squiddly007]

It comes with a controller. HDD expansion is an add on not a must have. The price is the compelling reason for purchase. It obviously isnt for you though.

[@nigelcalloun8210]

@@squiddly007 yes I agree, it comes with a controller, and the storage is optional. However realistically 512 will need to be upgraded by just about every owner. And those upgrades will not be cheap. The $200 in savings for the series s is not equivalent to what has been removed. No disc drive half the storage, weaker GPU etc. All I'm saying is that with just the proprietary hard drive upgrade alone cost wise will make this console be irrelevant.

[@squiddly007]

@@nigelcalloun8210 I know people that only have a few games on their hard drive and keep swapping. I guess the market will decide whether its relevant. I am getting the Series X as I have a 4K tv capable of 120fps.

[@nigelcalloun8210]

@@squiddly007 absolutely the market will decide, I just hope the market knows what they are buying. The less financially fortunate people of the world many times fall for the "lower" price at face value and end up spending more. And while the consoles are probably being sold at a loss, the difference in price for what's perceived loss is not really a good deal. But whatever gets more people into gaming, I am grateful. It's like the movie theater strategy to make the customer buy the extra lg popcorn because it's only $1 more than the small. They always intended on having you buy the lg, but if the cost of the sm is so close then the only intention of the sm is to accentuate how much better a deal the lg is. I too will be buying the series x and ps5. I'm just confused as to how this version of the xbox is much different than the already existing one x.
