24.6.2025
The limited edition Meta Quest 3S Xbox Edition (yes, that’s what it’s called) looks neat. I’ll give it that. The all-black model with the green inlays cuts a nice contrast with the normally white-only VR headsets. Everything else about it confuses me, including why it exists. Read more

Just How Long Is Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour?
20.6.2025

The Nintendo Console Launches, Ranked From Worst To Best
