It just keeps getting bigger. GTA 6 has surpassed $1 billion in presales a week before launch.

GTA 5 reached that mark in the three days after release.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! 20 Years ago today, November 11, 2006, the PlayStation 3 launched in Japan.

It was released in North America 6 days later, on November 17.

The console sold 87.4M units in its lifespan, rebounding from a poor launch. What memories do you have of the PS3

Nothing like a late-night session of Goldfinger and Good Charlotte while having a couple of drinks and building newsletter templates.

[Mike Straw Sports @MikeStrawSports]

A pass is backward if it doesn't go forward

[Andrew Siciliano @AndrewSiciliano]

Jaguars and Bills gave up more for Jessie Bates and Amani Hooker than the Vikings did for Kirk Cousins.

When you're 0-8, why wouldn't the Chargers trade every expiring contract you have? What's the point?

[Mike Straw @MikeStrawMedia]

@KahliefAdams Two words: Development...Hell

[Mike Straw @MikeStrawMedia]

@vancemeek Exactly how I feel

[Mike Straw @MikeStrawMedia]

For most players, 30 vs 60 FPS doesn't make a difference

[CHITO @ChitoGamingLive]

BREAKING Grand Theft Auto VI - targeting 30 FPS

PS5 Pro - PSSR and ray-traced shadows supported

Xbox Cloud Gaming supported & remote play support on PS5/Xbox

[Mike Straw @MikeStrawMedia]

@ADMegs_10 Rearrange the schedule now to give me Oregon State vs Oklahoma State this season

[Mike Straw @MikeStrawMedia]

[Mike Straw @MikeStrawMedia]

It's not over until the elected are sworn in.
