Qled is just marketing poo poo to explain how Qdots help with color. FALD and Mini/micro LED are the other part of the equation, to kind of almost approach OLED's contrast.

Apparently samsung is 10 bills into OLEDs married to a Qdot thing so we'll see if that pans out.

I briefly considered a charcoal grill and then saw the price tags so I'm on propane.
Those briquettes are a pain in the rear end to get started anyway.

Though maybe I can leverage the power of the PS5 as a tinderbox....

Can't wait for the shitstorm when they don't release the hdmi 2.1/VRR firmware update before Nov 12.

Have they announced if PS5 or XSX will be region free yet?

Region-locking games as standard-practice has largely been dead for over a decade now, the last real holdout was the 3DS. XBOne's will even take different-region X360 games, from what I understand (the DLC's another story, of course).

If they carry on using the sensible existing model then the only region locked poo poo is DLC, you need to make a store account for the region the game is from and buy it from that store with PSN cards you bought from a shady online reseller.

They said that retailers would provide new details, so I’m assuming that means SONY is releasing waves of new units to retailers and the rolling pre-order releases front Amazon and Target are those

Not exactly. I think they can play any region games, but Chinese region cards can only be played on the Tencent brand Switch.

Yea there are still region locked games on switch beyond that too unless I am mistaken. Some Japanese games don’t appear on the American store for example, unless I am mistaken

I bought a PS4 to play Bloodborne because the aesthetics of that game absolutely gripped me to my core. I have put over 500 hours in Bloodborne and probably less than 40 into every other FROM game (30 of that is Sekiro).
