If you're British, don't worry about it. The price cap announcement will truly put us in the pit of despair.

got my system from one of my bffs, at cost. it's worth knowing the right people, at least in my experience, as he tipped me off on the white, oled switch when it went on sale as well as the series x. I prefer the playstation lineup of games, but if you want legit homebrew or emulation and what not, the series x is awesome. I was going through lost odyssey in the game, but I somewhat find the dreams boring. way too long imo.

Read the post, Australia gets one too

Anyway, Jim Ryan has said the move was "a difficult decision" - boy I bet he's had some sleepless nights worrying about it, we should all give him a hug....
