Interesting seeing the communities reaction to “Steam Machine will be priced like a PC” (which doesn’t mean anything when you have gaming PCs priced like consoles out there) … will be interesting to see the reaction to Microsoft’s PC considering its supposed to be a significantly more powerful than anything out there.

Well apparently the person (linus?) mentioned $500 and they gave him a look that said, that's not happening. The system has already been priced out and it's around $800-900 and Valve already confirmed they aren't subsidizing it. 

I don't expect much reaction for the MS PC since not only will it be powerful but expensive as well. Kepler says it's costing MS $1200 to make it so expect to at the very least pay that amount. At that price it's just going to be for the most hardcore fan base and while graphics will look great I don't really think anyone will care. The PS4/Xbox One user base is still very large and it shows that people just don't care about graphics anymore. 

I always buy a new system day 1 on release and this is the first time where I'm wondering if there's even a reason to do it.  

The reduction of loading times alone was worth the upgrade from X1 to Series X. 5 seconds of loading from the main menu and no loading to maybe 2 seconds at most during playing.

That's what you call good head of brand. This man needs to return and shift the tides for the Xbox, alongside all the others from the team that launched the 360.. This type of person you need in your console team, not what we have now.

Started playing Indiana Jones. Using geforce now and it looks great with maxed ray tracing. About 20 hours in, mostly completed everything in Vatican and Egypt which I've just left.

What is everyone's opinion on the DLC? It is on a slight sale now but from what I read a lot of it is set underground in sewers and it's more linear than the main game so not sure if it's worth picking up for me. I enjoy the exploration.

Also what is up with the premium pricing? £35 for the premium edition upgrade £18 for the expansion separate. But the only thing extra the premium has is a skin and a digital art book. £17 extra for a skin and art book? That price feels like they were expecting two expansions or something.
