    PCSPECIALIST PS5 and XBox Series X

    Yes that makes sense to me it's not about making money on the initial sale like with electric toothbrushes the profit comes from the continuous purchase of replacement toothbrush heads that's were the profit is. I think same holds true here it is the after sale products that will make MS & Sony...

    PCSPECIALIST PS5 and XBox Series X

    I still think they will sell around £500 to get the sale and will be prepared to make a loss. I think they want to get as many customers as possible and then make money on the backend of their sales model including some kind of continuity subscription product. How much are they prepared to pay...

It has a real industrial look to it like something out of the Bat Cave! :cool: I imagine with most tech it would be very hard now to go back without it and playing the same games would be sadly lacking without this badboy contributing to the overall experience. There's...

    PCSPECIALIST Where to put uninstalled software please?

    Thanks very much for the link I will check it out and have a play around. Since I partitioned my HDD I have been using Macrium Reflect to create a system image once a week as nothing much changes now. I have also made my rescue media (2 USB's) in case one fails and have checked them by booting...
