Interesting move this, the @PlayStation 5 is now more than @Xbox series X/S…. Could this start to swing the pendulum back towards @Xbox??

@asha_shar I wish you all the best in you new role @Xbox ….
Following @Xbox closely on social platforms and for me it is clear what people want, that is Xbox to go back to its roots
- A console that supports physical media and will continue to do so
- Exclusive games

Simples.

@GordonRamsay just watching the latest episode of #kitchennightmaresusa where you are confused by the “Indi-Mex” concept… It’s amazing, you should look at #Vivoamigo in Cardiff, it’s delicious and works really well 🤤 👌🏼

The @forduk “Capri” is a lovely car but my god did Ford make a mistake by calling it the Capri…..
A classic car loved by so many having its name recycled for an electric crossover SUV will bite them on the arse @Ford

We released gta San Andreas 20 years ago. October 26, 2004.

Game releases were different back then.

It took 6 weeks for the DVDs to be produced, boxed and distributed. Patches over the internet were not yet a thing.
For us, all of the stress had happened at the cut-off point, 6 weeks prior. No big issues had come up.

Most devs had taken a holiday and we were already thinking about our next project.

Digital distribution didn’t exist yet. Games were typically released on a Tuesday/Wednesday in the US and Fridays in the UK. Same for SA.

The internet was crap and apart from a couple of trailers, gamers didn’t know too much about the game.

For big games, stores would open at Midnight before release day so that pre-orders could be picked up.
I only later found out, the publisher has to pay the stores to make these late openings happen.

I went to the biggest store near the R*North offices, which was HMV on Princess Street, Edinburgh. Even though it was a drizzly night, the line meandered all through the store and spilled out onto the street.

It was mind-blowing to see all those people so excited, going home to play the game all through the night.

This is why I am so against physical media “dying out” …..

Sorting through old photos and come across a signed piece of receipt paper that @CallumWilson signed for me in Bournemouth at Christmas in 2016! 🤣 I served him in Next I believe….

Hardly surprising though as soon you’ll be able to play Xbox from a tin of beans…..
