I'm always so surprised by the dichotomy of Brad being so into tech, and yet so reluctant to actually upgrade himself.

It's actually not an uncommon thing for a tech-junkie to say, "That's new gadget is so cool! HELL no I won't be getting one at launch" for a number of reasons -- maybe their tech-junkie-ness means they love an earlier-gen product for its quirks, or maybe they're frozen by the concept of "but if I buy the new thing NOW, the next New Thing(tm) will be out in a couple of weeks!"

Yeah, that's Osborne Effect in action. For instance, you could upgrade from your current (for me iPhone X) to the latest iPhone 12 Pro...but knowing as much as you could you may want to wait until the 2021 model of iPhone which will assuredly have every upgrade of this year's model and more. In the case of the phone, I'd imagine Pro Motion will be there next year, which would be huge for me.

In the case of 4KTVs, I got a TCL on black friday a couple years back for like $220 or something...one of the best purchases I've ever made for sure. I may upgrade at some point to a larger one next year that has 4K120 (this year's 6 series models have some issue I can't recall) etc, but honestly that isn't much for me and 8K does nothing for me so I don't see myself getting into that for ages.

In addition to the handful of games that will not run at all on a PS5 it is worth mentioning that some games have an additional qualifier attached to their store page.

When playing on PS5, this game may exhibit errors or unexpected behavior and some features available on PS4 may be absent.

Assassin's Creed Syndicate is one of these games because apparently distant shadows flicker. Will be interesting over the next couple weeks to see what people find.

I'm not sure if it's me, Youtube or the crew's encoding but the audio sounds real crisp in a good way on these newer videos.

Kinda amazing how much Destiny is like Warframe. Except for it being an FPS. Don't know why I always thought it was 3rd person.
