Now Kotick is gone, are they changing their name to Toys For Phil, or Toys For Booty?

A 4090 costs £1800 on it's own, so no

They will be using custom hardware so I'm just on about similar power levels to a 4090.
By the end of next year the 4090 will be a generation behind the top PC stuff so about right for a console at launch.

People don’t believe me or digital foundry. But even these consoles didn’t use the top spec cards from last gen. I.e. 3090.

You might get a 4070 or 7800xt equivalent.

Fair enough.
I haven't been a PC gamer for ages as my last PC build had the first quad core chip in it.
I'm just going by the guys claim it would be a giant leap.

For those of you still doing Microsoft Rewards, they've increased the number of points required for redemption on a number of gift cards. For example Amazon and Currys has gone from 15,200 points for £10, to 16,250; and a £5 Xbox gift card has risen by 85 points to 5,935 (level 2). 3 Months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate has stayed the same at 35,000 points however, so for the time being looks like they'd rather you claim that.

I've got something like 73k points to use now, and I was going to just get credit to buy a game with, but it seems like 6 months of gamepass would be a much better thing to spend it on.

I've only ever used the points for Gamepass, which has meant I haven't had to pay for it for years.

I assume this will be the final nail in the Rewards coffin, but hope to be proven wrong.

Ooh, can we get a new Spyro? Crash has been eating good with a new main game and spin-off over the years.

[Cumberdanes]

Activision still owns Spyro

That’s what the agreement would be for.
