Microsoft's aggressive price hikes across its gaming ecosystem signal potential industry-wide shifts, with first-party games jumping to $80 and console prices increasing by up to $130. These moves coincide with Xbox's surprising strategy pivot as Gears of War heads to PlayStation, raising questions about the future of exclusive titles and traditional console competition.
• First-party Xbox games including Gears of War, Halo, and Forza will now cost $80, following Nintendo's lead with similar pricing
• Xbox console prices have dramatically increased: Series S by 25% to $380, Series X to $600, and Galaxy Black Edition to $730
• Game Pass subscription price increases are likely coming, with hosts predicting Ultimate could jump from $19 to $25
• Gaming as a hobby is becoming increasingly unaffordable for many players, especially students and younger gamers
• Gears of War Reloaded is coming to PlayStation 5, featuring 4K/60fps campaign and 120fps multiplayer
• This cross-platform strategy suggests Microsoft may be shifting toward becoming a third-party publisher
• If Halo ever comes to PlayStation, hosts agree it would effectively end the traditional console wars

Speaker 1 (00:07):
Let's do this.
Welcome everybody to anotherepisode of the Gamer Traffic
Show.
I'm your host, mike Sanson,chillin' with my co-hosts.
Simply amazing how we're doingtoday.
Everybody get up for Mr Amazing.
On today's Gamer Traffic Show,we're going to talk about the
main main topic, mr Amazing.
We're not going to go into toomany topics today, but the main
topic is Microsoft, mr Amazing,and we want answers.
(00:31):
Mr Amazing, microsoft's finemaking moves, yo or not?
The first topic we're going totalk about Microsoft price hikes
, mr Amazing, I don't know whatyou think about it, but I'm
going to start off, mr Amazing,my own business.
I don't know what you thinkabout it, but I'm going to start
off, mr Amazing.
We're going to begin talkingabout the games for this holiday
, mr Amazing.
Guess what price they're goingup to, mr Amazing.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Well, I can only guess the same price at the
Switch, so I'm going to go guesswith a big 8-0.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Yep and a lot of people are saying thank you,
nintendo Switch.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Oh, that's the same crap too.
I heard about that.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Yeah.
So this holiday season majority, I think majority of, if not
majority, all the first box, thefirst Xbox games, with the
major one, we'll say Gears ofWar, halo, the next Forza will
be 80 bucks, mr Amazing.
What do you think about this?
Like you?
Speaker 2 (01:21):
start a show with thank you Nintendo.
Because I don't think ifNintendo dropped the $80 Mario
Kart, this would have happened.
I think if it came out at theregular price point of $70, that
would have been it, and I thinkthe first game we would have
saw that would have crossed,that would have been a Grand
Theft Auto.
But because of what Nintendodisplayed, I guess it gave them
(01:47):
courage to say, hey, why not ustoo?
Speaker 1 (01:49):
We're a stronger system, we're a known system.
Let's drop it.
I think that's what it is.
For that, mr Mason, twocomments.
I have to disagree with you.
Go ahead.
Oh, you're talking aboutNintendo.
No, microsoft.
Microsoft, they're thestrongest system.
Oh, they are, they're a morepowerful system.
That's a fact.
Okay, you say stronger, but notthe.
Okay, you say stronger, butyeah, not the most.
They got the number one sellingsystem, not the most coveted
system.
No, I agree with you on that butwe have seen in the past,
(02:11):
powerful, strong systems doesnot mean.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Oh, we know that it's going to move year after year
after year after year Does notmean constant sales.
Yeah, but what they're sayingis that our first party games
are worth it.
Every company thinks theirgames are worth it, which is
true, which is true.
I do agree with that actually.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Because I mean, like I know people are thinking
Nintendo, but a lot of gamedevelopers and publishers have
been talking about pushing thegames beyond the 70 price point.
Mr Amazing, yeah, so is thatsurprising?
I'm surprised they did thissoon.
They'll announce it this soon,after they said Microsoft has
(02:51):
has made.
I believe the profits have wentup 18%, 16%, 8%, but I believe
it's 6% for Xbox this year sowait.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
So I'm gonna cut through a couple things.
So you said it's only gonna befor their first party games.
Yes, I'm going to cut through acouple of things.
So you said it's only going tobe for their first party games.
Yes, but what about a strongthird party game?
Speaker 1 (03:07):
So there's no such thing as strong third party, a
third party kind of game.
No, that's not a third party.
That's not what you're going todo.
For example, ubisoft creates acrowd.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Do Assassin's Creed as a third party.
Yeah, that's what.
I'm talking about that, a gamefrom Assassin's Creed, a new one
comes out.
It's got to be $80.
There's no arguing that, forexample, the biggest game coming
out this year.
Now that we know, we'll talkabout another topic, but now
that we know that Grand Theftwas delayed, we won't talk about
the next episode with the Maze.
It doesn't matter, we have totouch on it, we're not going to
(03:37):
touch on it.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
I told you off script people, that's big news, that's
big news.
We're not going to talk aboutthis episode, but we'll talk
about the next episode.
We'll talk about it, but thething is no, I'm not talking
about that, it's leading to mytopic.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Now that we know that game was delayed.
That game is delayed.
The next biggest rock star gamecoming out this year is Mafia,
so it's about $80 games.
You said something to thirdparty.
Is that an $80 game in youropinion?
No, so Mafia 4 is not an $80game to you.
No, so you think Mafia 4 isgoing to be a $70 game.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Maybe someone else might be $80 but, like I said,
grand Theft Auto is a muchhigher level when it comes to
audience attention and theirpedigree.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Yeah, but I can argue Grand Theft Auto is going to be
more than $80.
The reason I say Mafia is Mafiais a rockstar game.
Right, it's a rockstar game, itdon't mean you're going to pay
$80 for it.
But, for example, you just saidXbox first party games are
going to be $80.
But not all Xbox first partygames is worth that $80 price
point.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Basically, it's going to be the heavy hitters.
I think Mafia 4 is in thatcategory, though.
I mean you can say that.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
But what makes you think Mafia 4 is in that
category?
Because, number one, we'retalking about Mafia 4, so
obviously you got a strong fanbase.
If you drop it number four, andon top of that it's a very good
game and I think now Rockstarcan concentrate on that being
their number one seller for thisyear.
So, like I think that game isgoing to do well I mean the
numbers.
I don't have the numbers for it, but I got to pull it up.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
The numbers is Mafia.
How much do you think Mafiasold the last one?
Speaker 2 (05:19):
The last one, I would say maybe like 4 million
probably something like that.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
I bought the last one , but Democritus Series total
sales combined for lifetime is34 million copies sold 34
million that's still good.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
That's still good for a game not known as Gears of
War or Mario or something.
That's still good numbers.
So let's just do the math.
34 million, you said right whatyou said.
34.
Yes, a game not known as Gearsof War, mario or something.
That's still good numbers.
So let's just do the math.
34 million, you said right whatyou said.
34?
Yes, so that's roughly about 11million each game.
If you think about it, that's11.
If you do the math, it's threeof them drops over the top.
(06:02):
That's about 11 million each one, though, if you're looking at
it analytically that's $11million each one.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
I know we both know each one is all of it.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
We don't know that, though let's pull it up, we can
pull it up.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
We won't got phones Pull it up.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
We both have phones, let's see.
So as I look for this mic, manman okay, hold on, hold on, hold
.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
On Mafia okay, also, you're gonna include the Mafia
remake as well the remake, butlet's just let's do, let's just
do.
Let's see Mafia 3.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Okay, hold up Mafia Trilogy, which includes Mafia
Trilogy includes the Mafia uhbut you can't do a trilogy
though, cause trilogy'sdifferent, that's that's a
different sell, that's a wholedifferent one.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
I think the first one sold about 2 million so we're
not going by sell, we're notgoing by sell you sold by sell.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
How much did it sell?
It sold 2 million.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
The first one.
It looks like it sold 2.
Let's go to the last one.
Mafia 3 is the last one, right,yeah, and you got Mafia.
What did you do?
Go ahead.
You got Mafia, what's?
Speaker 2 (07:03):
the score Mafia 3 at more than about 10 million.
Mafia 3 sold 10 million yeah,roughly about 10 million that's
good yeah, sold more than I wantto give you right numbers,
because it says by the end ofMarch 2020, the game had sold
more than 7 million copies.
That was the end of 2020 and itlooked like it went on to sell
(07:25):
about 10 mil.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
That's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
So you can say it's a success, so the numbers are not
bad on it.
So yeah, I think that's.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
I don't believe every Mafia game sold.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
No, no, not every game sold, they were skewed.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Okay, but all right.
Mr Mason, so you want tocontinue to look at the Mafia
games?
I don't think Mafia is an $80game.
That's what I think.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
I think, come on, I'm going to say no game is $80
worth because I'm being biased,but for the show I got to be
realistic.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
So let me ask you a question.
Go ahead.
Do you think Call of Duty is an$80 game?
Call of Duty, of course it'sgoing to be an $80 game, but do
you think it's worth an $80 game?
Speaker 2 (08:10):
I'm going to have to say yes because yeah.
I have to say yes even though Idon't play like that.
I don't think, yes, it is.
I can't have it both ways.
So for my argument, itdefinitely is.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
All right, all right, mr Amazing, but for the ongoing
prices.
Microsoft said we ain't goingto stop with the games, son.
It's not over, mr Amazing.
They also said the consolesales.
The console will be going up,mr Amazing.
The Xbox Series S, 212 gigabyteis now $380,.
(08:43):
Mr Amazing, a 25 cent priceincrease from 300.
Not 25 cent, 25 percent oh.
I was going to say 25 percentprice increase from $300.
That's what you wanted to getone time.
Yeah, she got one's hot.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
She got one's hot.
I can go best by getting anopen box for that same price.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
You got so many open boxes and all I want to see you
get open boxes of those, mrBayesian.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
So break it down for us.
So the Xbox Series S what theoriginal price was.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Yes, it was $300.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Now it's $380.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
The Xbox Series.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
S?
That's a big jump, dude.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
That's a big jump.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
That's a terabyte is now $430.
And what original price on thatwas?
Original price is $350.
That's a big jump too.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
The Xbox Series X, the one terabyte digital is now
$450.
Mr Amazing Went up from $450.
The Xbox Series X one terabytewith the Blu-ray disc drive is
now $600.
Mr Amazing, that's crazy.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
I think okay, alright , the Xbox Series X Galaxy.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Black Edition Mr Amazing $730.
More than a PS Pro.
There's no upgrades, whichmakes no sense to me.
Which is no upgrades?
Don't describe no upgrades toit, mr Amazing $730.
Microsoft just said hell withit Because allegedly they sold
maybe over 2 million consoleslast year.
(10:21):
They said hell, they'reprobably not making money
Because Sony and Nintendo areprobably making money, because
Sony and Sony and Nintendo areprobably making money off their
console because they soldseveral million.
Microsoft is still strugglingto sell consoles.
Yeah, that makes no sense theysaid freak it, you might as well
put.
You might as well put a higherprice.
Let's try to get some profitoff of this.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
This is crazy to me.
I think this is one of thestupidest moves by a con.
I'm so sorry.
I'm a little upset by that, butit's amazing.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Also, the controls are going up.
I think each one are going $5 apiece.
It's $64 for the core, $69 forthe color.
The Xbox wireless controllerWell, I mean hold on Wireless,
but special edition $80.
Xbox Wireless controllerlimited edition is now $90.
(11:15):
Okay, so it went up from $79 to$90.
For the Xbox limited editioncontrollers, the Elite
controllers, series 2, mr Masonwent up a couple of dollars.
It went up $10.
Originally $139, mr Mazin.
So I go on, mr Mazin.
So I go on, mr Mazin.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
I do have a question for you before you continue.
Have they given a reason forthe price hike?
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Mr Mazin, it's always the same reason the changing
environment.
It's amazing.
It's always the same reason thechanging environment, the we
call financial environment.
It's causing changes.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Hmm, does that stop?
Do you think that's the?
Does that stop them fromgetting their sales Sales of
what the consoles?
Speaker 1 (11:56):
What consoles?
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Mr B, what consoles are they selling, mr Amazing,
they're not selling.
Exactly that's my point.
How do you hike something whenyou're not in demand?
Speaker 1 (12:02):
The only person who's a diehard Xbox.
People in the cluster, quote,quote, quote.
Cluster is a mom got game.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
She is actually.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Holding her tight.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Holding her tight.
But you know, I do want to makea quick comment.
Okay, it's amazing, so roughlyas we can see these consoles
going up between 70 to 80 buckson all for the different
iterations and different modelsthat you have, they all went up
about $70.
That's a big price hike.
Some of them yeah.
I think you could have got awaywith this without people going
having too much of a fit If youwent $30 to $40.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
The Xbox Series X two terabyte Galaxy Black went up
$130.
That's what.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
I'm saying so roughly , I'm saying the least you pay
is about $70, the cheapest.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
it looks like which is ridiculous to me.
It's amazing, it's amazing,it's amazing.
I didn't tell you the good news.
Oh, there's good news besidesthis.
Oh, I didn't think there wasany of that.
The Xbox stereo headset remainsthe same price.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Oh, who cares?
But before you continue, though, I want to say one thing too,
though.
I think Dell and Walmarthaven't raised their price yet,
so you could probably still snagat the regular price.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Snag.
What what's up?
Dell and Walmart.
Oh, you saw the Xbox.
You can still snag it for thewhole price, oh you looked up?
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you can still snag it for those two
places.
To snag it from those twoplaces.
Maybe there might be otherplaces you might get lucky,
might be able to snag it fromthere too, probably so Because
they're probably like yo, we gotan overload of this.
We weren't selling it at theprice point.
What the hell do you thinkwe're selling at this price
point?
So some retailers still keptthe whole price point, CPO, yo,
(13:39):
yo, come on, yo just.
I went to Best Buy.
These dudes had nothing but theSeries S, like tons of them,
tons.
And I was like yo, they're notselling.
So my thing is you rate theprices.
I think some of these retailersare willing to eat the fiend.
Be like yo.
You know what.
This is a loss for me, the wayI look at it.
So I think some people aregoing to keep their price at
that price point.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Yeah, and GameStop got the used market.
People start buying those.
That's true.
That's what.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
I would do if I was with you.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
You know what I'm saying.
So it's looking dire, butMicrosoft did make some profit
this year, I believe 6%.
Yeah, because they had somedecent games this year that came
out and plus the sales for thePS5.
Having games on the PS5.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
That helped the helped helped them out yeah,
they had games this year andthey had.
They had their first party gamethat came out this year too.
That's a.
That wasn't well, it's an indiegame, but it was still pretty
good though.
The, the game that you and Iwant to play, the with the lady
the black lady.
Yeah, that's not a big, it's anindie game, no, but it helps.
(14:43):
It helps.
It's indie, it's indie, but ithelps.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
It's a good critical game.
Yeah, Critical game is a goodgame Critical but it's.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
I'm not saying that's the only thing.
Indiana Jones is selling.
Better Indiana Jones yes, Ishould start with that.
It's selling better on the PS5than the Xbox.
Yeah, indiana Jones, becausethat did start to sell.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
But, like I said, it's very hard when Microsoft
puts a game on Game Pass toreally get the quote-unquote
correct numbers of who boughtthe game.
Like I said, there's some games.
When you buy a game, mostlikely you're more willing to
stay with it.
When you got Xbox Game Pass, oryou buy a game or you got a
game on PlayStation Plus forfree, quote, quote, quote part
(15:26):
of your description you mightsay I'm not feeling this, let me
go.
When you pay 80 bucks or 50bucks for a game, you're like
hold on, let me play this gameand see what happens.
You might play the game throughthe entirety or go back to it
later because you did pay forthat game.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Agree you because you did pay for that game.
Agree, you know, so I agree,but it's crazy because you know
what this means.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Next, you know what's next, right?
Oh, that's what I'm talkingabout.
Next topic is what, mr Mazin,if you stick in my mind.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Sony's going to do the same thing.
Oh no.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
I guess not.
We're not doing the sameproject.
That's going to happen.
That I mean, you know.
Eventually that's probablygoing to happen, not this year,
but go to UT, ut, am Ipronouncing it right?
Go to UT, yeah, ut, yeah, theysaid in their post.
Sony said they're not raisingthe price, so it's going to be
the $7 price point, yes, butnext.
It probably won't hit you untilnext year.
(16:17):
So it's, it probably won'thappen until next year.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Believing is seeing it probably won't happen until
next year.
And, ladies and gentlemen, youknow who I blame all this for.
Actually, once again, noNintendo.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Nintendo.
I'm playing Nintendo.
For this.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
They come with their expensive price point come with
their expensive game, and youknow I love you.
So, nintendo, you were there.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
So I think you got something good trend.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Yeah, but with the tariffs coming, you don't want
to hit them with higher prices,not that high.
If you're going to hit themwith higher prices, you start
off at a medium price and letthe tariff get you to that other
price, what you're trying toget.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Well, mr Mason let's say, if it goes lower, it'll be
like oh my God, I'm getting adeal.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
It makes no sense to me, but whatever.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Well, Mr Mazin, is Game Pass next for increase.
If you're going to make a highprice for the first-party Xbox
game, are you not going toincrease Game Pass?
Mr Mazin, I would think youhave to eventually, but not this
year, though.
Man, that's going up, Mr Mazin,let's just break it down.
Mr Mazin, Xbox Game Pass Core,which I have $9 a month.
(17:24):
How much do you think that'sgoing to go?
You get 25 console games in theworld.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
The price that they're going to $9 is going to
go between $15 to $20, easily.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
So you think, I don't think, I can't think $12.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
I think it'll go $12.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Nope, $15.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
I think it'll go $20 for the core $15 minimum, $20
max, but I don't think it'll getthere yet?
Speaker 1 (17:48):
No, I don't think so $9 to $12,.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
I don't see it $15, I definitely see.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Okay, but my thing is , but not this year.
Let's go to the next tier then.
Okay, xbox Game Pass Standard,mr Mason, what it sits at, $,
but both of them can't be 20, mrMays.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
No, no, I said 15.
I gave you a range, but if youwant to give me an exact number,
the basic one will be 15.
That other one will be 20.
I think they're going leaps.
I think they're taking leaps,they're just sending you in Mr
Mays PC Game Pass.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
It's only $12.
What do you think about that it?
Speaker 2 (18:25):
That might be around roughly $16.99, $16 blocks.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
That's more believable, mr Amazing.
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate $19 now.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
That's going to be $25.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
So that's access to all the Xbox console games and
PC.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
That's $25.
So you can play Game Pass.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
The Ultimate Pass, everyone knows is for consoles.
If you don't know, it's forXbox consoles and PC platforms.
It includes basically onlinemultiplayer games.
Access to Game Pass library onXbox console and PC.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Do they have yearly passes for those?
Excuse me, do they have yearlypasses?
A yearly pass, no.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
I would have bought it.
I would have bought that.
So that's, I would have boughta yearly.
I would have bought a $9 yearlypass.
Yeah, because $9 will give youabout.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Oh, $9.
It'll be like $120.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
$108.
$108.
$108?
.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Yeah, so it's like $ 12 times 9 is 108, for my math
is correct.
Yeah, 108.
That'd be 108 at $9.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Let's say if they want to give you a little
discount, we'll say 100 buckseven Probably.
But, Mr Amazing, I mean.
So what do you think about theUltimate Pass?
Speaker 2 (19:41):
$25.
I think $25.
I don't think they're going todo the $30 because I think $30
just gets people pissed off, soI'm going to stick 25.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Okay, this is what I think the basic pass for.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Xbox console $12.
So you're $3 under me $12.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
The game pass standard Xbox.
Standard pass for Xbox console$17.
The PC only $13.
So you're only one up a dollar,yeah, man, so $13.
I'll be playing up a dollar.
Yeah, man, so $13.
I'll be playing nice like that.
Okay, ultimate pass 25.
(20:16):
So you agree with me on thatone?
I think 25.
I think 25.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
I think we got about two out of four.
I think you agree with me ontwo out of four.
We'll see when they raise it,but I think I don't think I'd
say this year, though I do agreewith you that he's going to go
up, but I don't think this year,though.
This year, mr Amazing, I thinkit's too much.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Like Charles Barker said, I guarantee.
Nah, I think it's too much.
I guarantee so, mr Amazing, yes, sir, all this price hikes, mr
Amazing, in the gaming industry.
Do you believe that gaming as ahobby is coming too expensive?
Mr Mason, I do.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
I wouldn't say inexpensive, but yes, I
absolutely do, because just fiveyears ago we had the glorious
years of gaming.
You know, obviously we were ina pandemic, but during that
pandemic, the numbers went crazy.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
That's because of the pandemic, I know, but it was
because of the glory, I wouldn'tsay that I mean you might I
don't see the glory, like I know, but it was.
I want to say that I mean youmight I don't see the glory.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Like yo, we get these .
No, what I think glory is crazyhit games coming out.
No, no, no, no, no.
When I think glory, I'm talkingabout numbers, I'm talking
about the consumers.
That was playing it the sales.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
I'm talking about that.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
I'm saying there's two things that are kind of
glorious.
There's glory for the bestindustry.
They made numbers they neverseen in their lifetime.
So we're just coming five yearsaway from that to now where
it's becoming unaffordable for alot of people.
Think about it Like youraverage gamer won't be able to
(21:40):
afford some of these systems.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
And that's a fact.
And some of these games because, like I said, if you Remember,
we'll say the PlayStation 3 era,where you could buy games in
Xbox 360 era, in the Wii era,you could actually slash Wii U
era, you could actually buy well, ps4, actually buy games for 50
bucks, yeah, and you could buytwo games for 140 bucks with tax
(22:04):
.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
I mean sorry $110 with tax.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
It was like because I was just talking to one of my
boys that work at FedEx he's abig time gamer and then I was
like, hey, did you get the rest?
He's a big wrestling fan.
He's like, yeah, I want to getit, but like he goes now, man,
he goes.
I only get games.
I know I'm going to get 80hours out of.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
That's his mentality.
Tons of time with that.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
No, no, no, no, no.
He wants to get it but he's ona budget.
He got three kids, a wife andyou know you gotta make a
decision.
You have decisions.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
So he's like, yeah, I wanna get it but he's a
hardcore wrestling fan.
Big time fan.
I think you get a lot out ofhim.
You go online play.
Exactly, I understand, and Ithink the game is how expensive?
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Yeah, in the gaming industry now you're forced to
say, choose my game or choose alivelihood, and when it comes
down to that, livelihood'salways going to win.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
You might get a few idiots, but I say call them
idiots, I mean when we saylivelihood, but we'll quote
responsibility.
We'll quote responsibility,yeah, responsibility.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
So when you're debating, when you're going
against a responsible, you knowyou're not going to win.
It's a recipe for disaster.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
It's very expensive because, let's say, $80 will get
plus tax close to $90.
Yeah, I agree.
So you think, like damn thisfor a gig, plus tax close to $90
.
Yeah, I agree.
So you think, like damn, thisgame might be worth it.
Yeah, like I mean.
I mean, that's why a lot ofpeople will, people are going to
pick up Mario Kart.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Well, yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
The new one that comes out.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
And I, you know as much as people hated the $80
price point.
I was okay with it becausewithin that, grand Theft Auto 5.
People are going to pay foryears.
You're going to pay for years,years, years, years, years.
So the $80 price point is okaywith.
I have no problem with the $80price point and everybody can
play it.
And everybody can play it.
Yeah, it's easy for everyone.
So it's like I understandsomething that gives me $80.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Like when Rockstar projected $100, I hate the
thought of it, but I'm okay withthat.
I'm not okay with $100.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
I think Rockstar is good, but the thing is it's
going to sell regardless,regardless regardless, because
my thing, when does it stop?
Speaker 1 (24:17):
that's a good question.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
$100 for a game that's a good question, but I
think you sell it with peopleupset.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
excuse me, I didn't interrupt you.
People are scared when peoplein Sony pack the Last of Us 1
and 2 for, I think, $110.
People are ticked off.
You're getting two games.
I know they were getting tickedoff about the outrage.
Burn down Sony.
Burn your PlayStations, youknow what I'm saying.
So $100?
Speaker 2 (24:46):
That's, a lot of money.
What I'm curious to see is thefirst fighting game that's going
to touch on that threshold.
That's what I'm curious, to behonest with you.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
They weren't touching the threshold already.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
I'm not talking about like a collective edition.
I'm talking about like astraight fighting game, like you
know, Street Fighter 7 or justMortal.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Kombat or 1213.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
I'm just curious to see which fighting fighting
games is going to try to touchthat.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
I don't think I mean, honestly, fighting games.
I don't think they have totouch it.
You're going to, though.
Even when I bought Fate of Fury, yeah, you bought it at $70
price point, right, no, $59.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
$59.99?
I was shocked.
I was like oh, you know, you'relike oh, shoot, I gotta pick
this up.
Wait, it was on the $70.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
It was a game store.
I picked it up, so yeah, soit's no, I don't think fighting
games Remember fighting gamesgot the DLC, stuff like that,
blah blah blah, you're right.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Actually I forget about the DLCs because they make
the money off of that of thecontents.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
You're right, you're a to buy games, even just your
student, college student oryoung kid, or kid asking their
parents to buy a game.
They're not going to buy a gamefor you, they're not.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
And I think gaming, the gaming world, have to work
with some kind of discount with,like students and stuff.
Because you mentioned students,that came to my head.
Like you know how, with astudent ID you get a certain
percentage.
I student ID, you get a certainpercentage.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
I think maybe stuff like that to make it scientific.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
I'm giggling in my head, that's never going to
happen.
No, but think about it becausea working person like you and I
were more enabled.
A student is not.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
So if a student presents his ID, maybe it's like
a 50% to 20% more, Even with aworking person you're still not
going to get Okay, so you mightas well get a fireman discount
or police officer discount, ornursing, I think they do though.
They do.
For what?
For games, If you go to a majorretail you get 10%.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
I don't understand.
They get no money 10%.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Also, people work at Game and Traffic Show.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
I'm not mad at that.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
We should get it free so we can try it out and give
you good reviews.
When we get our preview ofgames, come on, let us know Yo
we're too hardcore for them.
Maybe Yo we're telling peoplehow it is and not how it might
be.
I think you might be right.
We won't mention other podcastnames, but you know who they are
(27:02):
, mr Mason.
But even you go back to theretro scene with gaming.
Let's go on Amazon.
Let's go GameCube games MarioKart Double Dash $109, mr
Amazing, I remember that thatwas up there.
Mario Kart Smash Bros Melee $86.
I think it's more than what youcan get now for the Switch.
(27:26):
Is this true?
Zelda the Collector Edition.
This is a GameCube game.
$113, Mr Maze.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
And these are probably the reasons why I feel
like you can get away with theseprice points, because people
are buying them at that pricepoint.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Wario.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
Wario, yeah, his game $137.
These are very fun.
I like Wario games.
They're very fun.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
It's crazy.
Luigi's Mansion $90.
That's crazy.
Pikmin $56.
I still get that game regularlyin my safe.
Mr Amazing Pokemon Calcium MrAmazing $228.
That's insane.
These are high prices.
You also can get some cheapergames.
I'm not going to lie.
You get the Batman.
(28:07):
I mean Batman Be begins for $35.
You get the Spiderman forGameCube for $35.
But most of the first partyNintendo games don't cost you an
arm and a leg.
They are.
They don't cost you an arm anda leg.
Mr May, let's go to one of myother favorite games.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Go ahead.
Def Jam PS2.
We'll see.
Oh, that's, that's.
That's what I'm gonna guessAbout 130.
My guess, myguardi-guess-timate, simplest
guess-timate.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Let's see Mr Maison.
Oh Def Jam PS.
Oh shoot, sorry, we're lookingat it now.
Hold on, people fight for NewYork City, mr May they got it
for they got for almost close to$300 $293.
(29:03):
Boy was I wrong, I thoughtabout breaking.
I thought about like years ago,boy was I wrong, I thought
about breaking.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
I thought about it like years ago, Boy was I wrong.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
I thought about I ain't going front, I might get
it Another one for $300.
Holy, I ain't going front.
If it's $200, I'll buy it.
I ain't going front.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
And this, ladies and gentlemen, he's the reason why
you're paying $80 for your gigs.
You, he's the reason why you'repaying $80 for your games.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
You heard it on this show.
Yeah, I admit it.
I admit it, bro, I admit it,he's the reason why you're
paying $80 for your game becauseyou're like, oh, he just bought
DevJet.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
That's almost a 25 to 30-year-old game.
We could definitely sell thesenew games.
For the first one, yeah, thinkit's Southern Numbers.
At that, they're going based onthe retro world, what people
want to pay and you can't getthat game because all the
license music license, you'renot going to get that game.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
It's a very good game , I understand, and I regret
ever giving it away.
I'm like yo, you know.
So I have Jeff Tam Icon,whatever I have that, but I want
and I have have Vendetta, but Iwant the original.
Yes, I'm willing to spend theprice.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
I'm willing to spend the dodo on it.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
You know what I'm saying.
There's no game.
You wouldn't spend that kind ofmoney on.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
Well, there, I mean there are, I'm not going to sit
there and lie to you.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
Oh, so that Barbie game you had, we don't talk
about that.
We'll talk about that, okay.
So anything else you want totouch on this topic, mr Amazing?
No, no, I think I'm good, okay,so as far as Mr Amazing, let's
go to the trailer of the week.
(30:42):
Mr Amazing, what do we got?
The trailer of the week is TillDawn, mr Amazing.
Oh, it finally came out, mrAmazing, in theaters for very
little fanfare, mr Amazing, butlet's play the trailer.
Let's do this and this, yo,let's take.
I don't know.
Let's give our opinion.
Let's do this, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
Let's just look at it up the road.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
that's what people get into trouble those are the
first people here in years lookslike it too weird that's my
sister's signature.
Oh shit, shit, guys, check itout.
What happened to these people?
Speaker 2 (31:49):
Where's my car?
Speaker 1 (31:51):
Where's Megan?
Speaker 2 (32:04):
What the fuck just happened?
Speaker 1 (32:16):
We all got fucking murdered and now we're here
again, so the night is just inour pizza.
I don't remember that happeninglast time.
Please let me out, holy shit.
(32:43):
Every night something new istrying to kill us.
What is that?
Speaker 2 (32:55):
How many more deaths do you have in you?
Nobody's made it past 13 nights.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
If we want to survive , we have to make it until dawn.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
What is that he's getting out?
I'm just going to grab it.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
Don't move.
Yeah, what Is it gone?
Yeah, it's gone.
What it's still in my bag UntilDawn the Movie.
Mr Mason is yawning afterseeing that trailer.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
Mr Mason, do you?
Speaker 1 (33:36):
green light it, red light it.
Y'all like this trailer.
Mr Mason, it's our movie.
Therese, it's probably gettingreview bombed.
It's probably getting badreviews on it.
I played the game.
You didn't see the it.
I played the game.
Yeah, see the trailer.
I played the game.
I don't think it's interesting.
Basically, the movie premise isthat you get till dawn, you
(33:59):
could die several times, but ifyou can't escape the house by
dawn, you're dead.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
Yeah, I mean it didn't do nothing for me to be
honest with you.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
It looked like a version of it's a piece of
Friday the 13th.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
Michael Myers.
Final Destination Hill's.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
Got Eyes Hill's Got.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
Eyes.
It looked like a broke-outversion of those.
To be honest with you DeathBirthday and maybe it might be a
gem.
We've been down this roadbefore.
No, it's not a gym, mr Amazing.
We don't know.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
It's not going to be a gym.
I don't think it is either, mrAmazing, the answer.
What we want to hear, if peoplewant to hear, is do you green
light this trailer, yellow lightthis trailer or red light this
trailer?
Mr Amazing, I ain't going tolie.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
I was watching the trailer and I just watched I did
a red reaction.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
Oh yo, I put it like this I'm going red.
I don't know I should say red.
I don't think anybody shouldsee it.
If you're going to play thegame, game's probably way better
than this, and if you're allgoing to see it, wait till you
come to what time is it now,miss Mason?
Dvd I'm screaming now.
I can't say DVDs anymore.
They probably won't waste timepressing a Blu-ray for that.
(35:08):
So yes, in two minutes it'sstreaming right now, in two
minutes, nobody's going to seethis movie.
So, Mr Mason, the only conditionI say, if you're going to see
this, it's at home.
Yeah, I agree, and it's on sale.
Speaker 2 (35:22):
Yeah, I agree it ain't moving.
To be honest with you, I don'tknow.
It didn't capture me at all.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
No, no, no, no, mr Amazing, no, All right, mr
Amazing, let's go on to ourShibukia topic of the week.
Mr Amazing, mr Amazing, guesswhat Guess, guess, guess what
Xbox is doing.
Again, like I said at thebeginning of the show, strictly
talking about Microsoft, mrAmazing, guess what's going to
(35:47):
PlayStation 5.
Oh, we spoke about this.
Yeah, yes, you did.
Mr Amazing, microsoft justannounced this Monday, mr
Amazing, the remaster, gears ofWar reloaded.
Yes, sir, it's coming to PS5,.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
Mr Amazing, yes, sir, series.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
X S, Xbox PC which I have no idea what that means but
Xbox Cloud Gaming Steam.
Mr Amazing, Bang bang.
What do you think about this?
The reload is priced at $40.
Coming out this summer.
Mr Amazing is coming out bigtime.
Mr Amazing Remaster UltraEdition.
(36:26):
What do you think about this,Mr Amazing Remaster Ultra
Edition.
What do you think about this,Mr Amazing?
I think it's great news.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
Actually, I think it's great news.
See, the crazy thing is it'sprobably going to do better than
what's on the PlayStation.
It's going to be weird to see aGiz on the Sony, but I think
it's time, it's time, it's time,it's time and it's going to be.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
What do you mean by time?
What do you mean by time?
Speaker 2 (36:45):
What I mean by time is that is that.
Give it due diligence.
That's such a great game to me,and let my Sony fans enjoy it
too.
It's time.
Something's just so better onSony, and it's weird.
I'm saying that to be honestwith you, because that game sold
very well on the Xbox too.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
Let's not get that twisted.
Speaker 2 (37:04):
That's the reason people probably bought an Xbox
for those who are not Halo fans.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
Yeah, and it's supposed to be lower than
promised, to be 4K, 60 framesper second and in the campaign,
120 frames per second.
Multiplayer and also severalother features, mr Amazing.
So I don't know.
It's supposed to be bettersounding graphic, I mean mean
very sounding which will include7.4 Dolb 3Ds audio, mr Amazing,
(37:34):
also include HDR and DolbyVision and VRR support, mr
Amazing.
Damn, mr Amazing.
They come with the big time, mrAmazing, but like you said,
it's time, mr Amazing, but likeyou said it's about time, mr
Amazing, what's going on?
You think Halo's next, I thinkthey're eventually making it,
(37:59):
but not yet.
If Halo comes out forPlayStation, the console world
war is over.
I know it would be actually Not, yet it's over.
I think it's too soon.
It would be actually.
Speaker 2 (38:06):
It's over.
Not yet, not yet it's over.
Speaker 1 (38:08):
I think it's too soon .
It's over.
Speaker 2 (38:10):
It's too soon, not yet Next year, maybe in the year
after that.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
No, like the next year, 2027.
I think next year, next year, Ithink it's too soon.
Next, year.
Phil was talking about.
Oh, we're only doing four games.
Four games towards like eightgames within a year, within a
12-1 span.
So I mean it's.
I think Halo comes out nextyear.
(38:36):
So console world is officiallyover, officially over.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
I guess that's like I would say console world.
I would say Microsoft, it'sjust, it's a third party system.
That's why I look at it at thatpoint.
Speaker 1 (38:45):
Yeah, so that's the way I look at it.
It's great.
I mean I do have the UltimateEdition and, funny about it, me
and Mr Mays have never finished4 and 5.
So we're going to get togetherand finish those campaigns off.
Speaker 2 (38:59):
I didn't finish 3.
3 I finished.
I did 1, 2, 3.
I just didn't do three andJudgment.
Speaker 1 (39:04):
I'm trying to find the three discs.
I should have it with the restof them, but it's going to be
funny to see Gears of War onPlayStation.
That's what I'm saying.
It's going to be very weird.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
It'll be crossplay as well, who makes it Epic right?
Epic, yeah, epic Games.
Speaker 1 (39:22):
So it'll be very funny to see PlayStation with
Gears of War on it.
So very funny.
But, mr Amazing, the questionis do you care a lot, a little
or not at all?
Speaker 2 (39:33):
A lot, definitely a lot.
I'm a big Gears of War guy, soa lot, yeah.
What about you?
Speaker 1 (39:40):
I would say I was going to say I don't care
Because I knew it was going tohappen.
But I think for people just ingeneral, I think we should care.
I think it's a big thing that'shappening and I think it's
nearing the end for Microsoft.
I honestly think Microsoft'sgoing to come out sooner than
(40:01):
come out with another.
Why waste your time coming outwith another system?
I agree.
Why, why?
I agree it's over.
Speaker 2 (40:07):
I mean.
Speaker 1 (40:07):
I don another system, I agree.
Why?
Why?
I agree it's over.
I mean, I don't know, maybeSteam, like, if they do come on
another system, you know it'llbe digital.
Speaker 2 (40:13):
Well, absolutely, that's what that is.
Speaker 1 (40:15):
They're all about that now Be digital, whether the
new handbook, you know it'll bedigital.
There ain't no digital, that'sa fact.
I care a lot about it.
I care a little about it.
I care a little, but come what,I think I already have it
(40:36):
erased.
I'm like oh, my God.
I never played it.
I played it, so I care a littleabout it.
I wouldn't say I care at all,but it's a little.
I wouldn't say I care a lot.
I wasn't waiting.
When I heard the yeah, yeah,yeah, but it's a little.
I wouldn't say I care a lot.
I wasn't waiting.
When I heard the announcement,I was like, oh my God, I can't
wait.
It was on.
It was like okay, that's cool,that's cool.
Playstation players who haven'tplayed it will get a chance to
(40:56):
play it.
That's true, that's great news.
Who are hardcore gamers or thisis like gaming news or have
both systems?
It's like okay, cool.
No, expected it.
You know you might want to playit again.
We'll see.
Speaker 2 (41:13):
Agree do you think I care?
Speaker 1 (41:16):
agree, mr Amazing.
Yes, sir, do you have agangster?
I do.
I wasn't gonna talk about.
Speaker 2 (41:22):
I wasn't gonna talk about this, but it's got so much
heat and fire on social media.
Speaker 1 (41:28):
I have to mention it.
Oh my God, no.
Speaker 2 (41:31):
I wasn't going to.
I swear to God.
I was like should I bring thison the show?
I was like nah.
Speaker 1 (41:35):
So how do you put this?
The gangster wakes the top.
Is this doing the toppings ofgangster wakes the topic?
Speaker 2 (41:41):
I'll ask you how Go ahead.
So the topic is this it's beenall over social media and it's
been can 100 men defeat onegorilla?
Right, that's what the wholething is.
That's what we're talking about.
Yeah, who cares?
Yeah, I disagree.
Speaker 1 (41:56):
Well, I've been back and forth with it.
I've been back and forth 100men 100.
Speaker 2 (42:00):
Remember a gorilla's 400 pounds.
Six things Remember their skin.
Skin is thick as hell.
And remember there's no weapons.
You figure he's taking at least40, 50 guys out.
Oh, 40, 50, probably taking 10guys, yo dude remember his head
alone could crush you.
His jaw bites about 4,000 PCIs.
Dude, this dude.
The only reason the men wineventually is a gorilla has no
stamina.
Speaker 1 (42:22):
It can't go long for a while.
Yeah, I him in a DDT.
Speaker 2 (42:24):
You're going to do that.
You're going to do that.
Yo, dude, he can rip your armout your socket just with like a
Because of this, this topic,there's been so many videos of
people like in the thing andthey're showing a video of a
gorilla holding a guy with hispinky just dragging him Full
grown man with his pinky justdragging him.
Piece of this, yo.
So.
(42:44):
So my thing is I don't know howyou're supposed to wake a guest
to be house with you.
I wasn't going to bring this up, but it got too much hype
behind so I had to bring it upon the show.
I knew you was going to bringit up, go ahead.
So my thing is this is theperson who had the nerve to
think the guy that was next.
How'd you bet Be the lion.
(43:04):
I mean, what the hell?
Speaker 1 (43:05):
is next yo, Honestly, I thought it was a video game,
a horror video game.
I thought it was going to be avideo game, I mean because I was
like.
Speaker 2 (43:14):
Well, what makes this be?
Speaker 1 (43:16):
honest with you, man, it could be a video game.
Speaker 2 (43:20):
It could be a video game, it could be.
It's like a King Kong DLC or aHorde board.
That's a video game.
Speaker 1 (43:28):
That's a video game.
Speaker 2 (43:30):
It could be the Horde board in King Kong or something
.
To be honest with you, that's avideo game.
So I don't know, man, I don'teven know how to land on, how to
direct.
I just had to bring it up onthe show because it's been such
a hot talk lately.
Speaker 1 (43:41):
Man, to be honest with you, I mean my, I think 100
mega beat a gorilla.
Speaker 2 (43:45):
It ain't going to be easy and somebody died.
Yes, at least half is dying,dude he's taking out like 40
guys, 50 guys.
Speaker 1 (43:54):
He's taking out 40 dudes, michael.
I think they're 15, 20.
Speaker 2 (43:57):
Dude, you are so underestimating a gorilla.
Remember, their skin is almostimpenetrable.
But how are you 500?
That was you guys, dude.
Remember Michael he penetrable.
But how are you 500, 100, thatwas you got Dude.
Remember Michael, he does thisto you Head bump to you.
A head bump crushes your head,he bites you, you're done.
He can just rip your head likethis, rip your socket out.
Speaker 1 (44:15):
And remember he's six feet 400 pounds climbing.
You like it's nothing Stoppingyou like it's nothing.
Speaker 2 (44:23):
You know it's over.
You know it's over he'stouching his chest.
Speaker 1 (44:26):
yo I put it like this Mike Sampson is Godzilla to him
.
All right, godzilla son.
Speaker 2 (44:32):
The only thing about that though honestly, this is
realistic talking is thatthey're not aggressive animals.
Actually they're not aggressive, and another thing what sucks
for them is that they don't havelong stamina.
Okay, so would the 100 man winstamina?
Okay, so would the 100 man winProbably, but he's taking at
least 40.
He's taking out 40.
I think 40.
He's taking out 40 and another80% is going to be injured,
(44:54):
ain't nobody?
Coming 100% might suffice.
The guy's way in the back hemight get like a little hit.
I'm not going to get hit, I'mnot going to get hit and
remember to kill him, mostlikely because you suffocated
him.
Beyonce with you, that'sprobably why you're going to
kill him, because now you'rejust piling on.
Because you're not, you'regoing to suffocate him.
He's not going to feel thatpain you gave him.
This dude's fighting bears.
He's fighting real life guys inthe jungle, me and you is
(45:21):
nothing to him.
Speaker 1 (45:22):
It's a video game, Mr Major.
It's versus a bear.
Oh, the DOCs, oh.
Jesus it might be out it mightvery well, be out yo.
All right, mr Mason, I don'tknow how to finish the Wangster
Gangster of the week, but I I'vebeen the person that thought
about this.
Why do you even want Wangster?
I don't even know.
Speaker 2 (45:41):
I just have to read the topic.
It's such a hot topic.
Speaker 1 (45:44):
We won't put him against the Wakes, we won't.
It's just a question.
Speaker 2 (45:47):
It was just a hot topic because it was all over.
I was like, wait, we had tomention the show too.
Speaker 1 (45:52):
So, all right, Mr Amazing, the shout out of the
week goes to who, Mr Amazing?
Who did you give it to?
I thought you were going togive it.
Speaker 2 (46:03):
He's going to start saying everything.
Well, if you don't care, shoutout to my New York Knicks.
We win a grinding seriesagainst the Detroit Pistons and
we open up the night with a winagainst the champions, the
Boston Celtics.
Shout out to my Knicks baby,you guys deserve actually, and
(46:23):
the boss self-reliant.
Speaker 1 (46:24):
I tell you, you live by three, you die by three.
Speaker 2 (46:27):
That was ugly, but whatever, that's all God said.
That's all God said.
You know, I do want to giveWhether it's real life or 2K.
Speaker 1 (46:34):
You live by three, you die by three.
And I also want to give a shoutout to Ryan Coog one of the few

greenlighted.
It's really hit it off.
Yeah, we both greenlighted thatone, actually.
(46:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (46:56):
And I know you're just saying something.
I don't want to say nothingabout it at all and shout out to
Michael B Jordan this is thefirst time in a movie can
actually act.
I never thought he was a goodactor, to be honest with you.
I just thought he was a good, Ithink he's a good actor.
Speaker 1 (47:08):
You probably got hyped when he got killed in
Hawaii he was a kid in that one.
Speaker 2 (47:13):
I thought he was a decent actor, but the first time
I was like, oh he got range.
He showed me range the firsttime I any movie I see I think I
see almost all his movies I cansay, oh, he got range.
The first time I seen him withrange it was in this movie, so
I'll give him that.
Speaker 1 (47:28):
I'll give him that, all right.
Mr Amazing, this is the Game ofTraffic show.
Join us for another episode.
I hope you guys like andsubscribe.

Ever man, we appreciate youguys.
Maybe one day we get a YouTubechannel so you can see our
lovely faces and we break thatdown with Mr Amazing, myself and
(47:51):
special guests and the Game ofTraffic crew.
Alright, people love peace andgaming.
We out later, y'all Outro Music.
Let's do this.
Welcome everybody to anotherepisode of the Gamer Traffic
Show.
I'm your host, mike Sanson,chillin' with my co-hosts.
Simply amazing how we're doingtoday.
Everybody get up for Mr Amazing.
On today's Gamer Traffic Show,we're going to talk about the
main main topic, mr Amazing.
We're not going to go into toomany topics today, but the main
topic is Microsoft, mr Amazing,and we want answers.
(00:31):
Mr Amazing, microsoft's finemaking moves, yo or not?
The first topic we're going totalk about Microsoft price hikes
, mr Amazing, I don't know whatyou think about it, but I'm
going to start off, mr Amazing,my own business.
I don't know what you thinkabout it, but I'm going to start
off, mr Amazing.
We're going to begin talkingabout the games for this holiday
, mr Amazing.
Guess what price they're goingup to, mr Amazing.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Well, I can only guess the same price at the
Switch, so I'm going to go guesswith a big 8-0.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Yep and a lot of people are saying thank you,
nintendo Switch.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Oh, that's the same crap too.
I heard about that.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Yeah.
So this holiday season majority, I think majority of, if not
majority, all the first box, thefirst Xbox games, with the
major one, we'll say Gears ofWar, halo, the next Forza will
be 80 bucks, mr Amazing.
What do you think about this?
Like you?
Speaker 2 (01:21):
start a show with thank you Nintendo.
Because I don't think ifNintendo dropped the $80 Mario
Kart, this would have happened.
I think if it came out at theregular price point of $70, that
would have been it, and I thinkthe first game we would have
saw that would have crossed,that would have been a Grand
Theft Auto.
But because of what Nintendodisplayed, I guess it gave them
(01:47):
courage to say, hey, why not ustoo?
Speaker 1 (01:49):
We're a stronger system, we're a known system.
Let's drop it.
I think that's what it is.
For that, mr Mason, twocomments.
I have to disagree with you.
Go ahead.
Oh, you're talking aboutNintendo.
No, microsoft.
Microsoft, they're thestrongest system.
Oh, they are, they're a morepowerful system.
That's a fact.
Okay, you say stronger, but notthe.
Okay, you say stronger, butyeah, not the most.
They got the number one sellingsystem, not the most coveted
system.
No, I agree with you on that butwe have seen in the past,
(02:11):
powerful, strong systems doesnot mean.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Oh, we know that it's going to move year after year
after year after year Does notmean constant sales.
Yeah, but what they're sayingis that our first party games
are worth it.
Every company thinks theirgames are worth it, which is
true, which is true.
I do agree with that actually.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Because I mean, like I know people are thinking
Nintendo, but a lot of gamedevelopers and publishers have
been talking about pushing thegames beyond the 70 price point.
Mr Amazing, yeah, so is thatsurprising?
I'm surprised they did thissoon.
They'll announce it this soon,after they said Microsoft has
(02:51):
has made.
I believe the profits have wentup 18%, 16%, 8%, but I believe
it's 6% for Xbox this year sowait.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
So I'm gonna cut through a couple things.
So you said it's only gonna befor their first party games.
Yes, I'm going to cut through acouple of things.
So you said it's only going tobe for their first party games.
Yes, but what about a strongthird party game?
Speaker 1 (03:07):
So there's no such thing as strong third party, a
third party kind of game.
No, that's not a third party.
That's not what you're going todo.
For example, ubisoft creates acrowd.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Do Assassin's Creed as a third party.
Yeah, that's what.
I'm talking about that, a gamefrom Assassin's Creed, a new one
comes out.
It's got to be $80.
There's no arguing that, forexample, the biggest game coming
out this year.
Now that we know, we'll talkabout another topic, but now
that we know that Grand Theftwas delayed, we won't talk about
the next episode with the Maze.
It doesn't matter, we have totouch on it, we're not going to
(03:37):
touch on it.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
I told you off script people, that's big news, that's
big news.
We're not going to talk aboutthis episode, but we'll talk
about the next episode.
We'll talk about it, but thething is no, I'm not talking
about that, it's leading to mytopic.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Now that we know that game was delayed.
That game is delayed.
The next biggest rock star gamecoming out this year is Mafia,
so it's about $80 games.
You said something to thirdparty.
Is that an $80 game in youropinion?
No, so Mafia 4 is not an $80game to you.
No, so you think Mafia 4 isgoing to be a $70 game.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Maybe someone else might be $80 but, like I said,
grand Theft Auto is a muchhigher level when it comes to
audience attention and theirpedigree.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Yeah, but I can argue Grand Theft Auto is going to be
more than $80.
The reason I say Mafia is Mafiais a rockstar game.
Right, it's a rockstar game, itdon't mean you're going to pay
$80 for it.
But, for example, you just saidXbox first party games are
going to be $80.
But not all Xbox first partygames is worth that $80 price
point.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Basically, it's going to be the heavy hitters.
I think Mafia 4 is in thatcategory, though.
I mean you can say that.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
But what makes you think Mafia 4 is in that
category?
Because, number one, we'retalking about Mafia 4, so
obviously you got a strong fanbase.
If you drop it number four, andon top of that it's a very good
game and I think now Rockstarcan concentrate on that being
their number one seller for thisyear.
So, like I think that game isgoing to do well I mean the
numbers.
I don't have the numbers for it, but I got to pull it up.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
The numbers is Mafia.
How much do you think Mafiasold the last one?
Speaker 2 (05:19):
The last one, I would say maybe like 4 million
probably something like that.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
I bought the last one , but Democritus Series total
sales combined for lifetime is34 million copies sold 34
million that's still good.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
That's still good for a game not known as Gears of
War or Mario or something.
That's still good numbers.
So let's just do the math.
34 million, you said right whatyou said.
34.
Yes, a game not known as Gearsof War, mario or something.
That's still good numbers.
So let's just do the math.
34 million, you said right whatyou said.
34?
Yes, so that's roughly about 11million each game.
If you think about it, that's11.
If you do the math, it's threeof them drops over the top.
(06:02):
That's about 11 million each one, though, if you're looking at
it analytically that's $11million each one.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
I know we both know each one is all of it.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
We don't know that, though let's pull it up, we can
pull it up.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
We won't got phones Pull it up.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
We both have phones, let's see.
So as I look for this mic, manman okay, hold on, hold on, hold
.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
On Mafia okay, also, you're gonna include the Mafia
remake as well the remake, butlet's just let's do, let's just
do.
Let's see Mafia 3.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Okay, hold up Mafia Trilogy, which includes Mafia
Trilogy includes the Mafia uhbut you can't do a trilogy
though, cause trilogy'sdifferent, that's that's a
different sell, that's a wholedifferent one.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
I think the first one sold about 2 million so we're
not going by sell, we're notgoing by sell you sold by sell.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
How much did it sell?
It sold 2 million.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
The first one.
It looks like it sold 2.
Let's go to the last one.
Mafia 3 is the last one, right,yeah, and you got Mafia.
What did you do?
Go ahead.
You got Mafia, what's?
Speaker 2 (07:03):
the score Mafia 3 at more than about 10 million.
Mafia 3 sold 10 million yeah,roughly about 10 million that's
good yeah, sold more than I wantto give you right numbers,
because it says by the end ofMarch 2020, the game had sold
more than 7 million copies.
That was the end of 2020 and itlooked like it went on to sell
(07:25):
about 10 mil.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
That's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
So you can say it's a success, so the numbers are not
bad on it.
So yeah, I think that's.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
I don't believe every Mafia game sold.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
No, no, not every game sold, they were skewed.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Okay, but all right.
Mr Mason, so you want tocontinue to look at the Mafia
games?
I don't think Mafia is an $80game.
That's what I think.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
I think, come on, I'm going to say no game is $80
worth because I'm being biased,but for the show I got to be
realistic.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
So let me ask you a question.
Go ahead.
Do you think Call of Duty is an$80 game?
Call of Duty, of course it'sgoing to be an $80 game, but do
you think it's worth an $80 game?
Speaker 2 (08:10):
I'm going to have to say yes because yeah.
I have to say yes even though Idon't play like that.
I don't think, yes, it is.
I can't have it both ways.
So for my argument, itdefinitely is.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
All right, all right, mr Amazing, but for the ongoing
prices.
Microsoft said we ain't goingto stop with the games, son.
It's not over, mr Amazing.
They also said the consolesales.
The console will be going up,mr Amazing.
The Xbox Series S, 212 gigabyteis now $380,.
(08:43):
Mr Amazing, a 25 cent priceincrease from 300.
Not 25 cent, 25 percent oh.
I was going to say 25 percentprice increase from $300.
That's what you wanted to getone time.
Yeah, she got one's hot.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
She got one's hot.
I can go best by getting anopen box for that same price.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
You got so many open boxes and all I want to see you
get open boxes of those, mrBayesian.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
So break it down for us.
So the Xbox Series S what theoriginal price was.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Yes, it was $300.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Now it's $380.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
The Xbox Series.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
S?
That's a big jump, dude.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
That's a big jump.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
That's a terabyte is now $430.
And what original price on thatwas?
Original price is $350.
That's a big jump too.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
The Xbox Series X, the one terabyte digital is now
$450.
Mr Amazing Went up from $450.
The Xbox Series X one terabytewith the Blu-ray disc drive is
now $600.
Mr Amazing, that's crazy.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
I think okay, alright , the Xbox Series X Galaxy.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Black Edition Mr Amazing $730.
More than a PS Pro.
There's no upgrades, whichmakes no sense to me.
Which is no upgrades?
Don't describe no upgrades toit, mr Amazing $730.
Microsoft just said hell withit Because allegedly they sold
maybe over 2 million consoleslast year.
(10:21):
They said hell, they'reprobably not making money
Because Sony and Nintendo areprobably making money, because
Sony and Sony and Nintendo areprobably making money off their
console because they soldseveral million.
Microsoft is still strugglingto sell consoles.
Yeah, that makes no sense theysaid freak it, you might as well
put.
You might as well put a higherprice.
Let's try to get some profitoff of this.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
This is crazy to me.
I think this is one of thestupidest moves by a con.
I'm so sorry.
I'm a little upset by that, butit's amazing.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Also, the controls are going up.
I think each one are going $5 apiece.
It's $64 for the core, $69 forthe color.
The Xbox wireless controllerWell, I mean hold on Wireless,
but special edition $80.
Xbox Wireless controllerlimited edition is now $90.
(11:15):
Okay, so it went up from $79 to$90.
For the Xbox limited editioncontrollers, the Elite
controllers, series 2, mr Masonwent up a couple of dollars.
It went up $10.
Originally $139, mr Mazin.
So I go on, mr Mazin.
So I go on, mr Mazin.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
I do have a question for you before you continue.
Have they given a reason forthe price hike?
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Mr Mazin, it's always the same reason the changing
environment.
It's amazing.
It's always the same reason thechanging environment, the we
call financial environment.
It's causing changes.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Hmm, does that stop?
Do you think that's the?
Does that stop them fromgetting their sales Sales of
what the consoles?
Speaker 1 (11:56):
What consoles?
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Mr B, what consoles are they selling, mr Amazing,
they're not selling.
Exactly that's my point.
How do you hike something whenyou're not in demand?
Speaker 1 (12:02):
The only person who's a diehard Xbox.
People in the cluster, quote,quote, quote.
Cluster is a mom got game.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
She is actually.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Holding her tight.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Holding her tight.
But you know, I do want to makea quick comment.
Okay, it's amazing, so roughlyas we can see these consoles
going up between 70 to 80 buckson all for the different
iterations and different modelsthat you have, they all went up
about $70.
That's a big price hike.
Some of them yeah.
I think you could have got awaywith this without people going
having too much of a fit If youwent $30 to $40.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
The Xbox Series X two terabyte Galaxy Black went up
$130.
That's what.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
I'm saying so roughly , I'm saying the least you pay
is about $70, the cheapest.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
it looks like which is ridiculous to me.
It's amazing, it's amazing,it's amazing.
I didn't tell you the good news.
Oh, there's good news besidesthis.
Oh, I didn't think there wasany of that.
The Xbox stereo headset remainsthe same price.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Oh, who cares?
But before you continue, though, I want to say one thing too,
though.
I think Dell and Walmarthaven't raised their price yet,
so you could probably still snagat the regular price.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Snag.
What what's up?
Dell and Walmart.
Oh, you saw the Xbox.
You can still snag it for thewhole price, oh you looked up?
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you can still snag it for those two
places.
To snag it from those twoplaces.
Maybe there might be otherplaces you might get lucky,
might be able to snag it fromthere too, probably so Because
they're probably like yo, we gotan overload of this.
We weren't selling it at theprice point.
What the hell do you thinkwe're selling at this price
point?
So some retailers still keptthe whole price point, CPO, yo,
(13:39):
yo, come on, yo just.
I went to Best Buy.
These dudes had nothing but theSeries S, like tons of them,
tons.
And I was like yo, they're notselling.
So my thing is you rate theprices.
I think some of these retailersare willing to eat the fiend.
Be like yo.
You know what.
This is a loss for me, the wayI look at it.
So I think some people aregoing to keep their price at
that price point.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Yeah, and GameStop got the used market.
People start buying those.
That's true.
That's what.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
I would do if I was with you.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
You know what I'm saying.
So it's looking dire, butMicrosoft did make some profit
this year, I believe 6%.
Yeah, because they had somedecent games this year that came
out and plus the sales for thePS5.
Having games on the PS5.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
That helped the helped helped them out yeah,
they had games this year andthey had.
They had their first party gamethat came out this year too.
That's a.
That wasn't well, it's an indiegame, but it was still pretty
good though.
The, the game that you and Iwant to play, the with the lady
the black lady.
Yeah, that's not a big, it's anindie game, no, but it helps.
(14:43):
It helps.
It's indie, it's indie, but ithelps.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
It's a good critical game.
Yeah, Critical game is a goodgame Critical but it's.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
I'm not saying that's the only thing.
Indiana Jones is selling.
Better Indiana Jones yes, Ishould start with that.
It's selling better on the PS5than the Xbox.
Yeah, indiana Jones, becausethat did start to sell.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
But, like I said, it's very hard when Microsoft
puts a game on Game Pass toreally get the quote-unquote
correct numbers of who boughtthe game.
Like I said, there's some games.
When you buy a game, mostlikely you're more willing to
stay with it.
When you got Xbox Game Pass, oryou buy a game or you got a
game on PlayStation Plus forfree, quote, quote, quote part
(15:26):
of your description you mightsay I'm not feeling this, let me
go.
When you pay 80 bucks or 50bucks for a game, you're like
hold on, let me play this gameand see what happens.
You might play the game throughthe entirety or go back to it
later because you did pay forthat game.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Agree you because you did pay for that game.
Agree, you know, so I agree,but it's crazy because you know
what this means.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Next, you know what's next, right?
Oh, that's what I'm talkingabout.
Next topic is what, mr Mazin,if you stick in my mind.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Sony's going to do the same thing.
Oh no.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
I guess not.
We're not doing the sameproject.
That's going to happen.
That I mean, you know.
Eventually that's probablygoing to happen, not this year,
but go to UT, ut, am Ipronouncing it right?
Go to UT, yeah, ut, yeah, theysaid in their post.
Sony said they're not raisingthe price, so it's going to be
the $7 price point, yes, butnext.
It probably won't hit you untilnext year.
(16:17):
So it's, it probably won'thappen until next year.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Believing is seeing it probably won't happen until
next year.
And, ladies and gentlemen, youknow who I blame all this for.
Actually, once again, noNintendo.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Nintendo.
I'm playing Nintendo.
For this.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
They come with their expensive price point come with
their expensive game, and youknow I love you.
So, nintendo, you were there.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
So I think you got something good trend.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Yeah, but with the tariffs coming, you don't want
to hit them with higher prices,not that high.
If you're going to hit themwith higher prices, you start
off at a medium price and letthe tariff get you to that other
price, what you're trying toget.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Well, mr Mason let's say, if it goes lower, it'll be
like oh my God, I'm getting adeal.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
It makes no sense to me, but whatever.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Well, Mr Mazin, is Game Pass next for increase.
If you're going to make a highprice for the first-party Xbox
game, are you not going toincrease Game Pass?
Mr Mazin, I would think youhave to eventually, but not this
year, though.
Man, that's going up, Mr Mazin,let's just break it down.
Mr Mazin, Xbox Game Pass Core,which I have $9 a month.
(17:24):
How much do you think that'sgoing to go?
You get 25 console games in theworld.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
The price that they're going to $9 is going to
go between $15 to $20, easily.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
So you think, I don't think, I can't think $12.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
I think it'll go $12.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Nope, $15.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
I think it'll go $20 for the core $15 minimum, $20
max, but I don't think it'll getthere yet?
Speaker 1 (17:48):
No, I don't think so $9 to $12,.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
I don't see it $15, I definitely see.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Okay, but my thing is , but not this year.
Let's go to the next tier then.
Okay, xbox Game Pass Standard,mr Mason, what it sits at, $,
but both of them can't be 20, mrMays.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
No, no, I said 15.
I gave you a range, but if youwant to give me an exact number,
the basic one will be 15.
That other one will be 20.
I think they're going leaps.
I think they're taking leaps,they're just sending you in Mr
Mays PC Game Pass.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
It's only $12.
What do you think about that it?
Speaker 2 (18:25):
That might be around roughly $16.99, $16 blocks.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
That's more believable, mr Amazing.
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate $19 now.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
That's going to be $25.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
So that's access to all the Xbox console games and
PC.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
That's $25.
So you can play Game Pass.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
The Ultimate Pass, everyone knows is for consoles.
If you don't know, it's forXbox consoles and PC platforms.
It includes basically onlinemultiplayer games.
Access to Game Pass library onXbox console and PC.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Do they have yearly passes for those?
Excuse me, do they have yearlypasses?
A yearly pass, no.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
I would have bought it.
I would have bought that.
So that's, I would have boughta yearly.
I would have bought a $9 yearlypass.
Yeah, because $9 will give youabout.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Oh, $9.
It'll be like $120.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
$108.
$108.
$108?
.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Yeah, so it's like $ 12 times 9 is 108, for my math
is correct.
Yeah, 108.
That'd be 108 at $9.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Let's say if they want to give you a little
discount, we'll say 100 buckseven Probably.
But, Mr Amazing, I mean.
So what do you think about theUltimate Pass?
Speaker 2 (19:41):
$25.
I think $25.
I don't think they're going todo the $30 because I think $30
just gets people pissed off, soI'm going to stick 25.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Okay, this is what I think the basic pass for.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Xbox console $12.
So you're $3 under me $12.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
The game pass standard Xbox.
Standard pass for Xbox console$17.
The PC only $13.
So you're only one up a dollar,yeah, man, so $13.
I'll be playing up a dollar.
Yeah, man, so $13.
I'll be playing nice like that.
Okay, ultimate pass 25.
(20:16):
So you agree with me on thatone?
I think 25.
I think 25.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
I think we got about two out of four.
I think you agree with me ontwo out of four.
We'll see when they raise it,but I think I don't think I'd
say this year, though I do agreewith you that he's going to go
up, but I don't think this year,though.
This year, mr Amazing, I thinkit's too much.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Like Charles Barker said, I guarantee.
Nah, I think it's too much.
I guarantee so, mr Amazing, yes, sir, all this price hikes, mr
Amazing, in the gaming industry.
Do you believe that gaming as ahobby is coming too expensive?
Mr Mason, I do.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
I wouldn't say inexpensive, but yes, I
absolutely do, because just fiveyears ago we had the glorious
years of gaming.
You know, obviously we were ina pandemic, but during that
pandemic, the numbers went crazy.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
That's because of the pandemic, I know, but it was
because of the glory, I wouldn'tsay that I mean you might I
don't see the glory, like I know, but it was.
I want to say that I mean youmight I don't see the glory.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Like yo, we get these .
No, what I think glory is crazyhit games coming out.
No, no, no, no, no.
When I think glory, I'm talkingabout numbers, I'm talking
about the consumers.
That was playing it the sales.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
I'm talking about that.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
I'm saying there's two things that are kind of
glorious.
There's glory for the bestindustry.
They made numbers they neverseen in their lifetime.
So we're just coming five yearsaway from that to now where
it's becoming unaffordable for alot of people.
Think about it Like youraverage gamer won't be able to
(21:40):
afford some of these systems.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
And that's a fact.
And some of these games because, like I said, if you Remember,
we'll say the PlayStation 3 era,where you could buy games in
Xbox 360 era, in the Wii era,you could actually slash Wii U
era, you could actually buy well, ps4, actually buy games for 50
bucks, yeah, and you could buytwo games for 140 bucks with tax
(22:04):
.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
I mean sorry $110 with tax.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
It was like because I was just talking to one of my
boys that work at FedEx he's abig time gamer and then I was
like, hey, did you get the rest?
He's a big wrestling fan.
He's like, yeah, I want to getit, but like he goes now, man,
he goes.
I only get games.
I know I'm going to get 80hours out of.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
That's his mentality.
Tons of time with that.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
No, no, no, no, no.
He wants to get it but he's ona budget.
He got three kids, a wife andyou know you gotta make a
decision.
You have decisions.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
So he's like, yeah, I wanna get it but he's a
hardcore wrestling fan.
Big time fan.
I think you get a lot out ofhim.
You go online play.
Exactly, I understand, and Ithink the game is how expensive?
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Yeah, in the gaming industry now you're forced to
say, choose my game or choose alivelihood, and when it comes
down to that, livelihood'salways going to win.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
You might get a few idiots, but I say call them
idiots, I mean when we saylivelihood, but we'll quote
responsibility.
We'll quote responsibility,yeah, responsibility.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
So when you're debating, when you're going
against a responsible, you knowyou're not going to win.
It's a recipe for disaster.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
It's very expensive because, let's say, $80 will get
plus tax close to $90.
Yeah, I agree.
So you think, like damn thisfor a gig, plus tax close to $90
.
Yeah, I agree.
So you think, like damn, thisgame might be worth it.
Yeah, like I mean.
I mean, that's why a lot ofpeople will, people are going to
pick up Mario Kart.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Well, yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
The new one that comes out.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
And I, you know as much as people hated the $80
price point.
I was okay with it becausewithin that, grand Theft Auto 5.
People are going to pay foryears.
You're going to pay for years,years, years, years, years.
So the $80 price point is okaywith.
I have no problem with the $80price point and everybody can
play it.
And everybody can play it.
Yeah, it's easy for everyone.
So it's like I understandsomething that gives me $80.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Like when Rockstar projected $100, I hate the
thought of it, but I'm okay withthat.
I'm not okay with $100.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
I think Rockstar is good, but the thing is it's
going to sell regardless,regardless regardless, because
my thing, when does it stop?
Speaker 1 (24:17):
that's a good question.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
$100 for a game that's a good question, but I
think you sell it with peopleupset.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
excuse me, I didn't interrupt you.
People are scared when peoplein Sony pack the Last of Us 1
and 2 for, I think, $110.
People are ticked off.
You're getting two games.
I know they were getting tickedoff about the outrage.
Burn down Sony.
Burn your PlayStations, youknow what I'm saying.
So $100?
Speaker 2 (24:46):
That's, a lot of money.
What I'm curious to see is thefirst fighting game that's going
to touch on that threshold.
That's what I'm curious, to behonest with you.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
They weren't touching the threshold already.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
I'm not talking about like a collective edition.
I'm talking about like astraight fighting game, like you
know, Street Fighter 7 or justMortal.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Kombat or 1213.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
I'm just curious to see which fighting fighting
games is going to try to touchthat.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
I don't think I mean, honestly, fighting games.
I don't think they have totouch it.
You're going to, though.
Even when I bought Fate of Fury, yeah, you bought it at $70
price point, right, no, $59.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
$59.99?
I was shocked.
I was like oh, you know, you'relike oh, shoot, I gotta pick
this up.
Wait, it was on the $70.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
It was a game store.
I picked it up, so yeah, soit's no, I don't think fighting
games Remember fighting gamesgot the DLC, stuff like that,
blah blah blah, you're right.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Actually I forget about the DLCs because they make
the money off of that of thecontents.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
You're right, you're a to buy games, even just your
student, college student oryoung kid, or kid asking their
parents to buy a game.
They're not going to buy a gamefor you, they're not.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
And I think gaming, the gaming world, have to work
with some kind of discount with,like students and stuff.
Because you mentioned students,that came to my head.
Like you know how, with astudent ID you get a certain
percentage.
I student ID, you get a certainpercentage.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
I think maybe stuff like that to make it scientific.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
I'm giggling in my head, that's never going to
happen.
No, but think about it becausea working person like you and I
were more enabled.
A student is not.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
So if a student presents his ID, maybe it's like
a 50% to 20% more, Even with aworking person you're still not
going to get Okay, so you mightas well get a fireman discount
or police officer discount, ornursing, I think they do though.
They do.
For what?
For games, If you go to a majorretail you get 10%.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
I don't understand.
They get no money 10%.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Also, people work at Game and Traffic Show.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
I'm not mad at that.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
We should get it free so we can try it out and give
you good reviews.
When we get our preview ofgames, come on, let us know Yo
we're too hardcore for them.
Maybe Yo we're telling peoplehow it is and not how it might
be.
I think you might be right.
We won't mention other podcastnames, but you know who they are
(27:02):
, mr Mason.
But even you go back to theretro scene with gaming.
Let's go on Amazon.
Let's go GameCube games MarioKart Double Dash $109, mr
Amazing, I remember that thatwas up there.
Mario Kart Smash Bros Melee $86.
I think it's more than what youcan get now for the Switch.
(27:26):
Is this true?
Zelda the Collector Edition.
This is a GameCube game.
$113, Mr Maze.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
And these are probably the reasons why I feel
like you can get away with theseprice points, because people
are buying them at that pricepoint.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Wario.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
Wario, yeah, his game $137.
These are very fun.
I like Wario games.
They're very fun.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
It's crazy.
Luigi's Mansion $90.
That's crazy.
Pikmin $56.
I still get that game regularlyin my safe.
Mr Amazing Pokemon Calcium MrAmazing $228.
That's insane.
These are high prices.
You also can get some cheapergames.
I'm not going to lie.
You get the Batman.
(28:07):
I mean Batman Be begins for $35.
You get the Spiderman forGameCube for $35.
But most of the first partyNintendo games don't cost you an
arm and a leg.
They are.
They don't cost you an arm anda leg.
Mr May, let's go to one of myother favorite games.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Go ahead.
Def Jam PS2.
We'll see.
Oh, that's, that's.
That's what I'm gonna guessAbout 130.
My guess, myguardi-guess-timate, simplest
guess-timate.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Let's see Mr Maison.
Oh Def Jam PS.
Oh shoot, sorry, we're lookingat it now.
Hold on, people fight for NewYork City, mr May they got it
for they got for almost close to$300 $293.
(29:03):
Boy was I wrong, I thoughtabout breaking.
I thought about like years ago,boy was I wrong, I thought
about breaking.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
I thought about it like years ago, Boy was I wrong.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
I thought about I ain't going front, I might get
it Another one for $300.
Holy, I ain't going front.
If it's $200, I'll buy it.
I ain't going front.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
And this, ladies and gentlemen, he's the reason why
you're paying $80 for your gigs.
You, he's the reason why you'repaying $80 for your games.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
You heard it on this show.
Yeah, I admit it.
I admit it, bro, I admit it,he's the reason why you're
paying $80 for your game becauseyou're like, oh, he just bought
DevJet.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
That's almost a 25 to 30-year-old game.
We could definitely sell thesenew games.
For the first one, yeah, thinkit's Southern Numbers.
At that, they're going based onthe retro world, what people
want to pay and you can't getthat game because all the
license music license, you'renot going to get that game.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
It's a very good game , I understand, and I regret
ever giving it away.
I'm like yo, you know.
So I have Jeff Tam Icon,whatever I have that, but I want
and I have have Vendetta, but Iwant the original.
Yes, I'm willing to spend theprice.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
I'm willing to spend the dodo on it.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
You know what I'm saying.
There's no game.
You wouldn't spend that kind ofmoney on.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
Well, there, I mean there are, I'm not going to sit
there and lie to you.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
Oh, so that Barbie game you had, we don't talk
about that.
We'll talk about that, okay.
So anything else you want totouch on this topic, mr Amazing?
No, no, I think I'm good, okay,so as far as Mr Amazing, let's
go to the trailer of the week.
(30:42):
Mr Amazing, what do we got?
The trailer of the week is TillDawn, mr Amazing.
Oh, it finally came out, mrAmazing, in theaters for very
little fanfare, mr Amazing, butlet's play the trailer.
Let's do this and this, yo,let's take.
I don't know.
Let's give our opinion.
Let's do this, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
Let's just look at it up the road.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
that's what people get into trouble those are the
first people here in years lookslike it too weird that's my
sister's signature.
Oh shit, shit, guys, check itout.
What happened to these people?
Speaker 2 (31:49):
Where's my car?
Speaker 1 (31:51):
Where's Megan?
Speaker 2 (32:04):
What the fuck just happened?
Speaker 1 (32:16):
We all got fucking murdered and now we're here
again, so the night is just inour pizza.
I don't remember that happeninglast time.
Please let me out, holy shit.
(32:43):
Every night something new istrying to kill us.
What is that?
Speaker 2 (32:55):
How many more deaths do you have in you?
Nobody's made it past 13 nights.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
If we want to survive , we have to make it until dawn.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
What is that he's getting out?
I'm just going to grab it.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
Don't move.
Yeah, what Is it gone?
Yeah, it's gone.
What it's still in my bag UntilDawn the Movie.
Mr Mason is yawning afterseeing that trailer.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
Mr Mason, do you?
Speaker 1 (33:36):
green light it, red light it.
Y'all like this trailer.
Mr Mason, it's our movie.
Therese, it's probably gettingreview bombed.
It's probably getting badreviews on it.
I played the game.
You didn't see the it.
I played the game.
Yeah, see the trailer.
I played the game.
I don't think it's interesting.
Basically, the movie premise isthat you get till dawn, you
(33:59):
could die several times, but ifyou can't escape the house by
dawn, you're dead.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
Yeah, I mean it didn't do nothing for me to be
honest with you.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
It looked like a version of it's a piece of
Friday the 13th.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
Michael Myers.
Final Destination Hill's.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
Got Eyes Hill's Got.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
Eyes.
It looked like a broke-outversion of those.
To be honest with you DeathBirthday and maybe it might be a
gem.
We've been down this roadbefore.
No, it's not a gym, mr Amazing.
We don't know.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
It's not going to be a gym.
I don't think it is either, mrAmazing, the answer.
What we want to hear, if peoplewant to hear, is do you green
light this trailer, yellow lightthis trailer or red light this
trailer?
Mr Amazing, I ain't going tolie.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
I was watching the trailer and I just watched I did
a red reaction.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
Oh yo, I put it like this I'm going red.
I don't know I should say red.
I don't think anybody shouldsee it.
If you're going to play thegame, game's probably way better
than this, and if you're allgoing to see it, wait till you
come to what time is it now,miss Mason?
Dvd I'm screaming now.
I can't say DVDs anymore.
They probably won't waste timepressing a Blu-ray for that.
(35:08):
So yes, in two minutes it'sstreaming right now, in two
minutes, nobody's going to seethis movie.
So, Mr Mason, the only conditionI say, if you're going to see
this, it's at home.
Yeah, I agree, and it's on sale.
Speaker 2 (35:22):
Yeah, I agree it ain't moving.
To be honest with you, I don'tknow.
It didn't capture me at all.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
No, no, no, no, mr Amazing, no, All right, mr
Amazing, let's go on to ourShibukia topic of the week.
Mr Amazing, mr Amazing, guesswhat Guess, guess, guess what
Xbox is doing.
Again, like I said at thebeginning of the show, strictly
talking about Microsoft, mrAmazing, guess what's going to
(35:47):
PlayStation 5.
Oh, we spoke about this.
Yeah, yes, you did.
Mr Amazing, microsoft justannounced this Monday, mr
Amazing, the remaster, gears ofWar reloaded.
Yes, sir, it's coming to PS5,.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
Mr Amazing, yes, sir, series.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
X S, Xbox PC which I have no idea what that means but
Xbox Cloud Gaming Steam.
Mr Amazing, Bang bang.
What do you think about this?
The reload is priced at $40.
Coming out this summer.
Mr Amazing is coming out bigtime.
Mr Amazing Remaster UltraEdition.
(36:26):
What do you think about this,Mr Amazing Remaster Ultra
Edition.
What do you think about this,Mr Amazing?
I think it's great news.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
Actually, I think it's great news.
See, the crazy thing is it'sprobably going to do better than
what's on the PlayStation.
It's going to be weird to see aGiz on the Sony, but I think
it's time, it's time, it's time,it's time and it's going to be.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
What do you mean by time?
What do you mean by time?
Speaker 2 (36:45):
What I mean by time is that is that.
Give it due diligence.
That's such a great game to me,and let my Sony fans enjoy it
too.
It's time.
Something's just so better onSony, and it's weird.
I'm saying that to be honestwith you, because that game sold
very well on the Xbox too.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
Let's not get that twisted.
Speaker 2 (37:04):
That's the reason people probably bought an Xbox
for those who are not Halo fans.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
Yeah, and it's supposed to be lower than
promised, to be 4K, 60 framesper second and in the campaign,
120 frames per second.
Multiplayer and also severalother features, mr Amazing.
So I don't know.
It's supposed to be bettersounding graphic, I mean mean
very sounding which will include7.4 Dolb 3Ds audio, mr Amazing,
(37:34):
also include HDR and DolbyVision and VRR support, mr
Amazing.
Damn, mr Amazing.
They come with the big time, mrAmazing, but like you said,
it's time, mr Amazing, but likeyou said it's about time, mr
Amazing, what's going on?
You think Halo's next, I thinkthey're eventually making it,
(37:59):
but not yet.
If Halo comes out forPlayStation, the console world
war is over.
I know it would be actually Not, yet it's over.
I think it's too soon.
It would be actually.
Speaker 2 (38:06):
It's over.
Not yet, not yet it's over.
Speaker 1 (38:08):
I think it's too soon .
It's over.
Speaker 2 (38:10):
It's too soon, not yet Next year, maybe in the year
after that.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
No, like the next year, 2027.
I think next year, next year, Ithink it's too soon.
Next, year.
Phil was talking about.
Oh, we're only doing four games.
Four games towards like eightgames within a year, within a
12-1 span.
So I mean it's.
I think Halo comes out nextyear.
(38:36):
So console world is officiallyover, officially over.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
I guess that's like I would say console world.
I would say Microsoft, it'sjust, it's a third party system.
That's why I look at it at thatpoint.
Speaker 1 (38:45):
Yeah, so that's the way I look at it.
It's great.
I mean I do have the UltimateEdition and, funny about it, me
and Mr Mays have never finished4 and 5.
So we're going to get togetherand finish those campaigns off.
Speaker 2 (38:59):
I didn't finish 3.
3 I finished.
I did 1, 2, 3.
I just didn't do three andJudgment.
Speaker 1 (39:04):
I'm trying to find the three discs.
I should have it with the restof them, but it's going to be
funny to see Gears of War onPlayStation.
That's what I'm saying.
It's going to be very weird.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
It'll be crossplay as well, who makes it Epic right?
Epic, yeah, epic Games.
Speaker 1 (39:22):
So it'll be very funny to see PlayStation with
Gears of War on it.
So very funny.
But, mr Amazing, the questionis do you care a lot, a little
or not at all?
Speaker 2 (39:33):
A lot, definitely a lot.
I'm a big Gears of War guy, soa lot, yeah.
What about you?
Speaker 1 (39:40):
I would say I was going to say I don't care
Because I knew it was going tohappen.
But I think for people just ingeneral, I think we should care.
I think it's a big thing that'shappening and I think it's
nearing the end for Microsoft.
I honestly think Microsoft'sgoing to come out sooner than
(40:01):
come out with another.
Why waste your time coming outwith another system?
I agree.
Why, why?
I agree it's over.
Speaker 2 (40:07):
I mean.
Speaker 1 (40:07):
I don another system, I agree.
Why?
Why?
I agree it's over.
I mean, I don't know, maybeSteam, like, if they do come on
another system, you know it'llbe digital.
Speaker 2 (40:13):
Well, absolutely, that's what that is.
Speaker 1 (40:15):
They're all about that now Be digital, whether the
new handbook, you know it'll bedigital.
There ain't no digital, that'sa fact.
I care a lot about it.
I care a little about it.
I care a little, but come what,I think I already have it
(40:36):
erased.
I'm like oh, my God.
I never played it.
I played it, so I care a littleabout it.
I wouldn't say I care at all,but it's a little.
I wouldn't say I care a lot.
I wasn't waiting.
When I heard the yeah, yeah,yeah, but it's a little.
I wouldn't say I care a lot.
I wasn't waiting.
When I heard the announcement,I was like, oh my God, I can't
wait.
It was on.
It was like okay, that's cool,that's cool.
Playstation players who haven'tplayed it will get a chance to
(40:56):
play it.
That's true, that's great news.
Who are hardcore gamers or thisis like gaming news or have
both systems?
It's like okay, cool.
No, expected it.
You know you might want to playit again.
We'll see.
Speaker 2 (41:13):
Agree do you think I care?
Speaker 1 (41:16):
agree, mr Amazing.
Yes, sir, do you have agangster?
I do.
I wasn't gonna talk about.
Speaker 2 (41:22):
I wasn't gonna talk about this, but it's got so much
heat and fire on social media.
Speaker 1 (41:28):
I have to mention it.
Oh my God, no.
Speaker 2 (41:31):
I wasn't going to.
I swear to God.
I was like should I bring thison the show?
I was like nah.
Speaker 1 (41:35):
So how do you put this?
The gangster wakes the top.
Is this doing the toppings ofgangster wakes the topic?
Speaker 2 (41:41):
I'll ask you how Go ahead.
So the topic is this it's beenall over social media and it's
been can 100 men defeat onegorilla?
Right, that's what the wholething is.
That's what we're talking about.
Yeah, who cares?
Yeah, I disagree.
Speaker 1 (41:56):
Well, I've been back and forth with it.
I've been back and forth 100men 100.
Speaker 2 (42:00):
Remember a gorilla's 400 pounds.
Six things Remember their skin.
Skin is thick as hell.
And remember there's no weapons.
You figure he's taking at least40, 50 guys out.
Oh, 40, 50, probably taking 10guys, yo dude remember his head
alone could crush you.
His jaw bites about 4,000 PCIs.
Dude, this dude.
The only reason the men wineventually is a gorilla has no
stamina.
Speaker 1 (42:22):
It can't go long for a while.
Yeah, I him in a DDT.
Speaker 2 (42:24):
You're going to do that.
You're going to do that.
Yo, dude, he can rip your armout your socket just with like a
Because of this, this topic,there's been so many videos of
people like in the thing andthey're showing a video of a
gorilla holding a guy with hispinky just dragging him Full
grown man with his pinky justdragging him.
Piece of this, yo.
So.
(42:44):
So my thing is I don't know howyou're supposed to wake a guest
to be house with you.
I wasn't going to bring this up, but it got too much hype
behind so I had to bring it upon the show.
I knew you was going to bringit up, go ahead.
So my thing is this is theperson who had the nerve to
think the guy that was next.
How'd you bet Be the lion.
(43:04):
I mean, what the hell?
Speaker 1 (43:05):
is next yo, Honestly, I thought it was a video game,
a horror video game.
I thought it was going to be avideo game, I mean because I was
like.
Speaker 2 (43:14):
Well, what makes this be?
Speaker 1 (43:16):
honest with you, man, it could be a video game.
Speaker 2 (43:20):
It could be a video game, it could be.
It's like a King Kong DLC or aHorde board.
That's a video game.
Speaker 1 (43:28):
That's a video game.
Speaker 2 (43:30):
It could be the Horde board in King Kong or something
.
To be honest with you, that's avideo game.
So I don't know, man, I don'teven know how to land on, how to
direct.
I just had to bring it up onthe show because it's been such
a hot talk lately.
Speaker 1 (43:41):
Man, to be honest with you, I mean my, I think 100
mega beat a gorilla.
Speaker 2 (43:45):
It ain't going to be easy and somebody died.
Yes, at least half is dying,dude he's taking out like 40
guys, 50 guys.
Speaker 1 (43:54):
He's taking out 40 dudes, michael.
I think they're 15, 20.
Speaker 2 (43:57):
Dude, you are so underestimating a gorilla.
Remember, their skin is almostimpenetrable.
But how are you 500?
That was you guys, dude.
Remember Michael he penetrable.
But how are you 500, 100, thatwas you got Dude.
Remember Michael, he does thisto you Head bump to you.
A head bump crushes your head,he bites you, you're done.
He can just rip your head likethis, rip your socket out.
Speaker 1 (44:15):
And remember he's six feet 400 pounds climbing.
You like it's nothing Stoppingyou like it's nothing.
Speaker 2 (44:23):
You know it's over.
You know it's over he'stouching his chest.
Speaker 1 (44:26):
yo I put it like this Mike Sampson is Godzilla to him
.
All right, godzilla son.
Speaker 2 (44:32):
The only thing about that though honestly, this is
realistic talking is thatthey're not aggressive animals.
Actually they're not aggressive, and another thing what sucks
for them is that they don't havelong stamina.
Okay, so would the 100 man winstamina?
Okay, so would the 100 man winProbably, but he's taking at
least 40.
He's taking out 40.
I think 40.
He's taking out 40 and another80% is going to be injured,
(44:54):
ain't nobody?
Coming 100% might suffice.
The guy's way in the back hemight get like a little hit.
I'm not going to get hit, I'mnot going to get hit and
remember to kill him, mostlikely because you suffocated
him.
Beyonce with you, that'sprobably why you're going to
kill him, because now you'rejust piling on.
Because you're not, you'regoing to suffocate him.
He's not going to feel thatpain you gave him.
This dude's fighting bears.
He's fighting real life guys inthe jungle, me and you is
(45:21):
nothing to him.
Speaker 1 (45:22):
It's a video game, Mr Major.
It's versus a bear.
Oh, the DOCs, oh.
Jesus it might be out it mightvery well, be out yo.
All right, mr Mason, I don'tknow how to finish the Wangster
Gangster of the week, but I I'vebeen the person that thought
about this.
Why do you even want Wangster?
I don't even know.
Speaker 2 (45:41):
I just have to read the topic.
It's such a hot topic.
Speaker 1 (45:44):
We won't put him against the Wakes, we won't.
It's just a question.
Speaker 2 (45:47):
It was just a hot topic because it was all over.

You probably got hyped when he got killed in
Hawaii he was a kid in that one.
