Holy poo poo, I thought Monster had a drink called Gods and Monsters, but no it's any product with Monster in the name from toys to dog treats. Somebody warn Capcom.

We would have. We also would have wondered WTF it was or what it did, since we didn't have internet or TVs it could connect to.

https://twitter.com/elisefavis/status/1319637385488060424 Plenty of others tweeting they have them now. No pattern to the times so assuming they are allowed under embargo to post a pic of the box as soon as FedEx or UPS or whoever drop them off, probably getting sent priority overnight. Also many saying that's all for today so probably Monday at the earliest for anything else.

There is an image I've been trying to find for a while but I feel like it's lost to time. It's Big O being dwarfed by an even larger giant robot, that was photoshopped to have an original Xbox for a body.

History Comes Inside! posted:Is there any source for this or is it just a weird assumption based on the fact they all say preview unit or whatever on the back? ?? They had a whitelist of games they could play and other games failed to boot, the units didnt come in official packaging, no native software was provided, etc they were not review units as typically envisioned (ie, the actual product sent to reviewers to review, which we can assume is what these ps5s are because they are getting them in the retail packaging) They were like some weird early access influencer demo unit. Is this controversial? Im confused

Other than that they’re supposed to just be normal xbox units, I don’t think anyone else anywhere has claimed they’re anything else.

No it was only like 200 games Im not saying the Xbox was different im saying they were not review units. Units fit to be reviewed, for official reviews. Thats what these ps5s are

Real hurthling! posted:??

Some outlets (the initial group) got 'prototype' labeled systems that Microsoft said were functionally identical to actual retail ones, doesn't seem to be any reason to doubt that. Some outlets and youtubers etc. then also got final retail systems.

I’m fairly certain every video I watched about the Series X even said either before or during the review that they need to stress they were told these are technically not final product for review. It’s probably just Microsoft wanting to make sure people didn’t review them as a final product but I’m fairly certain that was explained by multiple outlets.

Escobarbarian posted:How do you know? Microsoft was adding games weekly when reviewers first got their units. There were around 1000 games available to play the first weekend reviewers had access and now everything is playable, from what I understand. There may be embargos still for some enhanced games. This is a normal thing. Prerelease units get major patches when reviewers are using them. For example, the PlayStation 4 got a massive, multi-gig patch that fixed a ton of errors and enabled PSN a week or less before launch. These modern systems are fluid up to and after launch.

So Sony will still be criticized despite being the first company to provide retail versions for review, right? All that matters is some beta version got released to the dude from IGN.

Honestly who gives a poo poo if they were official fresh out of the box retail models vs units grabbed off the assembly line and stickered specifically for previewing? Who’s to say these PS5s weren’t also picked out in the same way and boxed up especially for previews? I’ve preordered a PS5 so it’s not like I’m in here trying to shill for Xbox but of all the things to try and squabble over between the two camps this might be the silliest.
