We’re about a month away from the launch of the ROG Xbox Ally X, and we still don’t know the actual price. Rumors and UK prices suggests the device will be anywhere from $700 to $800… although I personally thought it would probably be a $1,000 based on the trends I was seeing.
This Techtober we will be seeing the battle of the PC Handhelds. On one corner is the much-anticipated ROG Xbox Ally X and the other corner is the underdog Legion Go 2. Both will be using the next generation AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme Processor on the high-end models. If you were looking for the next level performance, you have to get the Z2 Extreme chip, because the lower-end model’s performance is comparable to last year’s Z1 Extreme.
As the resident Weekend Gamer, I am obligated to mention the craziness of this week in Summer Gaming! Traditionally, since most kids are outside during the summer, game sales are poor… so the gaming industry would announce games in the summer for games to be on sale this holiday or year end.
The other funny thing that happened to me was that the cleaners took my Straight Talk Home Internet (Tracfone) and threw it in their landfill. I didn’t think I would get it back, so I called Tracfone to deactivate the device and cancel my internet service. After talking to the cleaners, they kept an eye out for it and found the internet modem and returned it back to me.
Weekend Gamer here. With CES (Consumer Electronics Show) happening right now in Las Vegas, we are getting a lot of tech news, like the Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 5090 Graphics Cards which will cost nearly $2,000! Officially the start date is January 7, but the media preview kickoff started January 6.
The biggest video game award show, The Game Award, is airing/livestreaming right now with over 1 million watching the main stream. I’m very excited about this, because this is the 10th Anniversary of the show (which started in 2014 by Geoff Keighley). The show is broadcast live from the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles.
