What's going on, mr Amazing,with that?
Speaker 2 (00:32):

Speaker 1 (00:33):
Damn Skippy, I didn't get so much Sony money.
We're also going to talk aboutGod of War.
Mr Amazing 20th anniversaryhappened a couple of days ago.
Unfortunately.
Bloodborne 10-year anniversaryhappened a couple of days ago.
Unfortunately, bloodborne's10-year anniversary happened and
somebody didn't say jackdoodleabout it.
Oh, I didn't know, yes, see,there ain't anything about it.
(00:54):
But again, today's show,talking about Mr Amazing, look,
in the words of my fellow rapper, ll Cool J, game of Forma is
coming back.
(01:15):
It's been around for years, 33years.
It shut down, I believe lastAugust.
Mr Amazing, yeah, yo, it's back.
Full effect, full effect, fulledit staff will be back.
Mr amazing, they bring it backwith views, leaks, everything
about game from playstation,steam, xbox.
(01:36):
They're coming back and withrevenge is mr amazing basically
done video form.
But they'll further getinformation regarding the
magazine making a comeback.
Remember, it was associatedwith GameStop and GameStop shut
it down.
Now it's called GameForward Incand it was purchased by Mr Mays
(01:57):
.
You know again, godzilla, yeah,godzilla, not Godzilla.
You know Japan, godzilla,Godzilla, no, a different
organization.
I believe the director ofDistrict 9 is involved in this
the purchase of this and withthem buying them, they're
allowing Game Informer to be ontheir own and do what they want
(02:19):
to do.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Oh, okay, so they're back for effect, because I know
Game Informer took a hit in 2022when they had massive layoffs,
and it gets people to recover.
Until you know it shut down inAugust of 2024.
So now doors are reopening, isit?
We're getting full-blown accessto it, it's not just electronic
(02:42):
.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
They'll give us further information later on, a
reference to a physical, notjust electronic.
They'll give us furtherinformation later on a reference
to a physical magazine comingback, remember, game 4 used to
be a full year every month.
Then it came every six months.
I remember that I mean notevery six months, it was yeah,
every few months Every fewmonths, it was six issues.
Basically it was six issues,yeah, so then it got shut down.
(03:05):
So basically, after 33 years,they've been here for years and
they're coming back, mr Amazing.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Nice and do we know when we can first expect our
first subscription, our firstmagazine to come out?
Well, like I said earlier, Iwas still in the work.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Mr Amazing, Are you listening?
Mr Amazing, Are you listening?
Mr Mason, Can I get the?
Speaker 2 (03:23):
mic.
Can you knock on the mic?
Speaker 1 (03:26):

Mr Mason?
Yes, and they had a video ondescribing what's going on.
Let me play a little snippet ofthat video.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
We've got some big news to share today.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Here's Matt Millen Game.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
Informer is back, and so is 100% of the team that was
bringing you Game Informer whenwe shut down this past summer.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
That means production , design, video, editorial,
everybody.
Everything you loved about GameInformer before is coming back,
but we're rethinking it andevolving it to be bigger and
better.
Game Informer has been aroundsince 1991, and, yes, we were
blipped out of existence for acouple months here, but we're
back and I'm really excited topick up where we left off and
(04:10):
ramp things up to be even better.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
Of course, we were devastated when Game Informer
shut down this past summer,because we loved working
together as a team, but thething that came as a shock was
the outpouring of support andenthusiasm that came from you as
readers, and from people aroundthe industry, for what Game
Informer had meant to them.
I personally received messagesfrom people who talked about
(04:34):
growing up reading Game Informerand being excited about getting
that magazine in their mailboxevery month and what that meant
for them, and we felt that thatmeant something and that it was
something that was worth tryingto fight for and preserve.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
So that's what we did .
If you unfollowed us on all ourplatforms, like YouTube or Blue
Sky or Instagram, I don't blameyou.
We disappear, but we have thekeys back to all those accounts.
They're active again, so go hitthose follow buttons.
All of that is coming back,including an all new approach to
Game Informer magazine, both inprint and digital forms.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
The short version is that Godzilla Games purchased
Game Informer.
Game Informer now operatesunder an independent entity
called Game.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Informer Inc.
Editorial independence has beenfoundational for Game Informer
ever since it was started backin the 90s and it will continue
to be a sacred element of ouroperation going forward.

Stand Up Power Game Pro.
Well, game of Thrones.
I didn't put Game of Thronesbecause we're talking about Game

I was giving you the otheraspects, but personal Game of
Thrones would be there too,actually.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Yeah, game of Thrones number four.
I might be a special Game Profor Game of Forma, if I think
about it really hard, so Iprobably put Game of Forma ahead
of Game Pro.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
But I basically do their artwork.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Yeah, the artwork was really nice, even though I
wasn't a PC dude, I mean PCgamer.
Yeah, I used to look at thattoo, man.
That was more of a UK thing,though, but I knew of it.
That wasn't bad.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
All right, Mr Mason, anything else you want to say
about this topic?
Speaker 2 (09:32):
No, nothing really, but it's good to see that.
Come back and what might get,says, I guess I'll get mine too.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Yo, let's put it Welcome back, welcome back,
welcome back.
What do you think the course isgoing to be?
Speaker 2 (09:46):
What?
The course of the magazine?
What do you think it's going tobe?
I don't know If you think aboutit today.
I don't know.
Do you remember what your lastMonday subscription was?
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Remember it came with the game.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
The six month thing.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
From GameStop.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
That is true.
Yeah, you, it was incorporatedwith that because it was a
GameStop thing.
I guess I'll find out Good news.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
So Mr Mazin interrupted me saying Welcome
back, welcome back Game Informer.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Welcome back.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
All right, man, Mr Mazin.
All right, Mr Mazin.
Guess who's getting sued again,Mr Mazin, Damn I hope it ain't
Sony.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
It's Sony.
Man Damn, how did you guess.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
A Dutch consumer group is filing a lawsuit
against the mighty king of videogames right now.
Sony was accused of coming andabusing their market lead
position, keeping pricesridiculously high on PlayStation
Store.
Mr Amazing Damn, according totheir research, it goes as high
as what we see.
Mr Amazing Damn.
(10:47):
According to their research, itgoes as high as what we see.
Mr Amazing, they argue thatdigital games are placed in the
store cost 47% more than aphysical version.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Mr Amazing, I said that that's outrageous.
I hope that's not true.
I hope that's not true, manHopefully.
I hope, because that'sridiculous if it is yo.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Because how do you?
Speaker 2 (11:04):
justify that?
There's no way to justify that.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Yes, it just fire how , like Wu-Tang said, cash
throughs everything around me,but my thing is why is a digital
?
Speaker 2 (11:13):
copy get the digital game dollars out bills more
y'all yeah but my thing is, aphysical copy should be more
than a digital copy.
That's what I think personally,because you have physical
hardware, but that goes aroundall platforms.
That the digital is going to bemore than the physical.
Isn't that the other way aroundyou?
Speaker 1 (11:30):
could go to the store and then get sales for the
physical games.
That is true.
And then you go in your storewith an Xbox, playstation or
Nintendo.
You look at the freak.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Yeah, but 47% markup is a big difference.
I might get a cheaper one,probably like $6, $7 difference,
but not a 47% difference, butthat's never going to happen.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Remember, you have partners like Walmart, target,
gamestop, so they got to keepthe Because they got to keep the
price the same.
They got to keep the price thesame.
I don't know man.
When they first come out, whenthey first come out.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
When they first come out, I might be one of those
three men who'd be able to suethem too.
Man, yeah, but you can't have.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Okay, a physical copy come out for $69 and a digital
copy come out for $49, becauseyou don't have to package it, we
don't have to deliver it.
They're not going to do that,no of they said they have
partners for Target, walmart,gamestop and other video game
outlets.
Yeah, no, I understand that Imean video game stores that sell
video games physically.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
I'm not disputing that.
I'm disputing the fact thatit's 47%.
That's a big number, that's avery big number.
There's no way to justify thatkind of number.
So I think, if theseallegations I'm going to say
allegations because we don'tknow if it's true If they are
true, sony got something toexplain, to do.
We'll see, though.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
We'll see, I will see .
Because, like I said, sony, youcan't buy the digital card that
stores, so that also limitswhat you could get.
If you don't want to buy aphysical, so you go to the
digital store, the.
So you go to the digital store,the Sony digital store.
You're paying allegedly, likeyou said, that Zubin amount
extra, yeah, which is which isridiculous actually this is,
(13:10):
this is me, you know, being outthe box.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Do you think the physical copies are 47% more
because they're getting us ready?
You're talking about thedigital copies yeah, do you
think they're, because that'swhat was 47% more?
Yeah, so Do you think they'refinished, because that's what
was 47% more?
So do you think they're gettingus ready for the new wave of
prices when it's all digital?
Because you know all digital iscoming eventually.
They're pushing that on usalready.
So do you think they're gettingus ready for markups?
(13:33):
It's almost really here it is.
I mean like this is likeoptional now.
Hey, do you want thisPlayStation, the disc
PlayStation, you're the discXbox.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
For me, you and some others for it, and also think
that reason why fiscal's notthat dominant is because people
who generate don't pass it on.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Well, yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
For example If you don't take kids to those
conventions, they're not goingto be like oh shoot.
I actually put the cartridge inor put this in, and the whole
game is on there.
Yeah, and it's yours.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Well, no, I agree.
No, you're right, I don'tdispute that.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Okay, let's say okay, me and you play Madden.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Once you finish with it.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
we can't, let's say it's yours, you gotta delete it.
Delete it.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
At least before we was able to obviously put it
towards another game.
You can't do that Wish I.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Well, this is another topic I have for another day,
but I have an idea about that.
What am I going to say?
To use this is this, though?
Actually my son, you know yournephew he likes physical copies.
He's a younger generation, so Igive him that.
But, for example, Manga.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
For a while he didn't get a lot of physical copies.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
He started getting into it when he started getting
into Japanese animations.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
That's when he became big on digital copies, but for
example Manga.
Game Because he's on physicalcopies, yeah, physical copies
now to digital because of spacesspace in the house.
Yeah, can't find you on theroom which a lot of people do
tell me too, it's better forit's easier to manage for space,
oh, yeah, I think, especiallyin New York City, those small
(15:07):
apartments and the way theybuild houses now is really small
.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
If you have a basement.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
it's kind of hard to keep those physical cards Go
ahead.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Yeah, so Go ahead.
No, no, no, no.
That was just a topic.
I was just giving you scenariosof like where and how we can
work with different people anddifferent age groups, so I can
see ups and down on that.
But we're getting way off ontopic now because we're talking
about.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
That's why I called him MC Choice when I rapped back
in the days.
You don't want to hear him.
Speaker 2 (15:37):

credit.

(15:58):

honest with you.

Speaker 2 (20:51):
Number.
Okay, top 10.
Wrestling is popular, so Top 10.
Speaker 1 (20:55):

California as well.
Speaker 2 (23:22):

So you go to God of War exhibit.
Why don't you look it up?
See, the God of War.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Look it up real quick , let's see Well we do that, but
I kind of wanted a bit more.
I was being a little greedyLike a nice surprise DLC would
have been nice or, like you said, a remastered.
That would have been nice aswell too, but I don't know.
We didn't get that this time.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
So do you have a favorite God of War game?
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Ooh, I like the two.
I I like the two.
I do like Ragnar and God of the2018, god of War.
What's it called?
The 2018?
Which?
Speaker 1 (23:59):
is God of War.
I can't remember.
Those are really good.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
God of War 3 was really good too, actually.
I like the first one first onewas yeah, I mean, they're all
good.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
I know that I have the collection of PS, the PSP
collection of PS3.
I have all the God of War games, even the Ascension.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
People said suck but what God of War Ascension?
I haven't.
I have all three.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
I have all of them.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
I don't.
I'm trying to see what yourefer to, but I don't see
anything.
Is it like an exhibit?
Yeah, gallery.
Yeah, yeah, they did have that,but I think it's over now.
It's over now, yes, so, yeah,so they had like a little
gallery of music Music, excuseme Photos and stuff where you
(24:48):
could look at pictures all Dudethey are set.
They were selling too, actuallyWow, and these are not cheap.
Whoa how much did it cost?
Sold, how much did it cost?
So you got a nice cradlepicture in the back of holding
the axe.
Sold for $5,000.
Damn, you got the serpent chain.
I'm buying that these things500.
(25:09):
So we're looking at differentphotos and stuff which was on
YouTube.
We can show you guys more butthese so the highest thing I've
seen so far was for 5,000 theonly thing I would get that
there's a God of War statue withhis son.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
It's like retail.
I forgot what site would do it.
I think it was like 815, Ithink it was $2,000.
I would get that one, and thatthing is like this big.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Oh, okay, okay.
So this exhibit was successful.
It lasted from the 15th ofMarch to the 23rd, so it had a
nice run.
It just ended.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
It just ended.
It just ended the only thing Iwish they did.
I would like to do a God of Warart book.
That would be really nice.
Or the storyline of how God ofWar and you know storyline of
God of War, from God of War 1 tonow.
Okay, that would be nice.
Actually, I believe that I havea Tomb Raider book that has
that, and I also have a Sasukebook that has that.
I also have a Titan book.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
I mean that's cool.
That's pretty cool Question foryou now when do we get the next
God of War?
Speaker 1 (26:08):
Next God of War?
Next God of War?
Is it under this generation?
Yes, Mr Mason, Glad you askedthat question.
According to rumors andspeculation, it's reported by, I
think.
Is it Jeff Grubb?
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
What happened.
Jeff Grubb reported the latestclaim that a brand new God of
War side story project will behappening from Chloe to Giant's
Bar.
Jeff Grubb, it's rumored to bea new Greek god of war based on
his early experience, mr Amazing, so it should happen sometime
(26:43):
later this year, allegedly.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
A god, but not a main story, a side story.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Side story for his early adventures in Greek
mythology.
Okay, okay, I mean okay,that'll be cool, that for his
early adventures in Greekmythology.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
Okay, okay, I mean okay, that'll be cool, that'll
be cool.
I welcome that.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
So it's like we'll say Miles Wilde's side.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
Side.
Okay, so all right.
Now what I'm going to say aboutthat is, if we're going by the
timeline, god of War 2018 cameout.
The God of War came out 2022,so that was a four year period.
So I would think a new one wascoming out in 2026, because it
looked like every four yearsthey had.
I mean, the last two werebetween a four year period.
So if there was going to be one, I would think it would have
been sometime next year, becausethat would be that would mark
(27:21):
four years.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
That would be a cross-gen game a cross-gen game.
It would be a PlayStation 6,playstation 5 game but we don't.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Those systems are not coming out in 2026 yet
PlayStation probably will comeout in 2027 that's what I
thought.
Yeah, I think.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
I mean PlayStation 6, yeah, I think that's.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
We'll look more towards that time frame, but I
mean if they were going to drawa God of War game, it would be
technically 2026, because thelast one was 2022 and they do
2026.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
I mean 2026 game.
Yeah, and it comes with aPlayStation 5.
It's going to be crossover withthe PlayStation 6.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Oh, absolutely, of course you know PlayStation love
their remasters.
Of course.
Oh, that's bread and butterKeeping the lights on.
Absolutely, man Go ahead,Monica Studios.
Do what you got to do, monica,okay alright.

I have seen all of them.
I believe I have every movie onBlu-ray.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Wow, impressive.

somebody else.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
By someone else.
All right, people, let's kickit.
Final Destination FinalDestination Borderline Trailer.
Let's do this.
Speaker 4 (29:24):
Family.
You don't get to pick the oneyou get.
Just gotta love the one you got.
I always knew this day wouldcome.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
I got it.
Speaker 4 (29:35):
I don't think you got it.
I held him off for years.
Charlie, get up here.
He's a relentless son of abitch.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
We'll stop till he finishes the job.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Death is coming for our family.
Speaker 4 (30:19):
Oh, oh, oh oh oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
oh, oh oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
oh, oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
oh.
I saved a lot of lives thatnight.
(30:39):
Everyone needs to get off thedance floor lives that were
never meant to be saved.
But death doesn't like it whenyou mess with his plans.
This book, it will show youeverything you need to know to
keep our family safe.
It all started with grandma.
Death is coming for us becausewe were never supposed to exist.
(31:01):
What?
Speaker 3 (31:04):
only by embracing death will it pass you by.
Maybe that's not actuallycoming for our family, because
that would be crazy.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
Good luck, mr Maynard .
Final Destination Bloodlines.
What do you think about itcoming out May 6th?
Could we green light it, redlight it or y'all like this
trailer.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
Oh, definitely green-lighted.
This got my attention.
It's a good summer movie.
Start of the summer, I shouldsay.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
That's what I think.
It's probably the lastperformance by Tony Todd, the
guy who also voiced Venom, venom, yeah, yes, it seems very
interesting.
The same.
It's more like you said, arebirth of it, a rebirth yeah, a
rebirth of it.
So not a remaster or remake,but a rebirth of the series
(32:02):
Seems very interesting.
Hopefully get a second trailerthat might tell more detail, but
this actually gives you theexact details.
what's going on in the storyyeah yeah, let's say, watching a
video form, it shows like umprevious um.
They're giving hints toprevious um movies prior to this
prior ones yeah yeah.
So, mr mazes, so you say yougreen light?
(32:24):
Yeah, yeah, about you.
I totally agree, green light,this trailer yeah, me too.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
It's a good movie.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Yeah, very soon, about a month, and change.
I think the movie wegreenlighted was it Love Hurts.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
That's the last we did.
We did greenlight that, yeah,we did.
That movie is bombed.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
Oh man, and then three weeks later it was
streaming, hey.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
Hey, can't get my children all the time, huh.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
So I spoke to this girl.
She said so the first daysounds horrible.
Oh damn, sounds horrible.
We didn't know.
Damn, damn, damn, damn.
All right, mr Amazing, let's goto our Should we Care topic of
the week.
Mr Amazing, let me start offwith this.
What do you think the Should weCare topic of the week is, mr
Amazing, let me start off withthis.
What do you think?
(33:11):
The sweet care?
Speaker 2 (33:13):
topic of the week is Mr Amazing.
What are we talking about?
Speaker 1 (33:14):
Yo.
Playstation is teamed up withRaylo to launch a rental service
based in the UK for thePlayStation 5, playstation Pro
and the PlayStation Portal, andalso the PlayStation VR set.
Mr Mason, mm-hmm, damn it.
(33:36):
What do you think about this?
Okay, split.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
All right, I looked at it.
So you get a kick for your buckdepending on how long the
rentals are.
They go from one year, two yearto three year.
The shorter the rental, themore money you're going to pay
monthly.
So, for example, let's say yourent a PS5, right, A 36-month
contract will be $24.50 permonth, which is more money than
(34:02):
what the console costs.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
So this is like $800?
Yeah, $800.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
Yeah, so you'd pay about a hundred bucks more, give
or take something like that yoboth just go to carna, just go
to carna, go to carna, or go tozip and pay that way, yeah, just
put like a couple hundred downand then go to carna, that's
what I'm thinking, so go aheadso you're right.
Actually, I agree with you onthat one.
So I think something like thatis good for maybe be.
I think if I was to getsomething on this, it would
probably be a VR, becausethere's not that much game to
get on it.
You rent it for a little much.
(34:33):
You could bring out the hotgames you want and rent it right
back.
To be honest with you, yeah,but it's cheaper.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
now you might as well just get the VR headset.
Speaker 2 (34:46):
Yeah, so this is Apparently this thing, it's not,
it's probably popular In the UK.
In the UK, I think, you saidwhat was it?
Ray Law?
Something like that.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
Yeah, that's the company they teamed up with To
do this yeah, I just don't seethis making sense.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
To me it kind of reminds me of Rent-A-Center,
where you get stuff and youbring it over.
Speaker 3 (35:05):
Is.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
Rent-A-Center still around your rent incentive, to
be honest with you.
So I just don't see the pointof you paying.
Well, at least rent incentiveto keep it after you pay for it.
Yeah, that's right, becauseyou're going to pay.
I'm happy you said that becausethis is a kicker.
You get a three-year contract.
You're paying $24.50, so you'regoing to pay more than what the
system costs.
Then you're going to retire it.
Speaker 1 (35:39):
So least.
If you do any damage, you paymore yeah, of course you, of
course.
Anything you dad, you gotta paymore the thing I found funny, I
found it strange the the dualset edge wireless.
You can rent that.
Yeah, I was going, I didn'tcontrol, I didn't know.
No, I saw that.
I was like no and no, I sawthat too.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
I was like get, get out of here they said, the PS
Portal, the DualSense Edge andthe PS VR and the PlayStation 4.
Obviously.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
I understand like you wanna test the portal, so you
wanna fill out the month.
I'll do that like alright.
I might do that, alright boom.
Or if I could say, vr that'sprobably what I would've got a,
I'm going to still buy it.
If I buy it, I'm going to buyit.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
I get it.
I know if you're strapped forcash, this sounds like the best
dream.
Well, 24, 50, I can cough thatup.
That's nothing, but it's not awin.
You just got into a badcontract.
I look at it as a bad contractfor you because you don't get to
keep the system.
No, it's not a lease option tobuy, so no, it's not worth For
that.
Get a credit card, get an 18month no interest pay and try to
(36:33):
purchase it through the 18months.
I think that you're better offthan that, but I digress.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
Oh, we also, so should we care a lot, a little,
not at all.
Speaker 2 (36:41):
Not at all for me at all man.
Even if you broke, you got themoney.
Speaker 1 (36:51):
I think it's you something, Sony.
You get the gangsta of the weekfor doing what if you put
people out?
And the people who buy this arethe wasters?
Speaker 2 (36:56):
I agree with you.
Sony's a gangsta and a consumerof wax.
Speaker 4 (37:01):
Get the hell out of here.
Speaker 2 (37:02):
No options to buy it.
You don't keep it.
Hell, no God, that's what theysaid.
Got another sucker.
Ring the bell, mr Amazing, dowe ding?
Speaker 1 (37:10):

Mr Amazing 20th anniversaryhappened a couple of days ago.
Unfortunately.
Bloodborne 10-year anniversaryhappened a couple of days ago.
Unfortunately, bloodborne's10-year anniversary happened and
somebody didn't say jackdoodleabout it.
Oh, I didn't know, yes, see,there ain't anything about it.
(00:54):
But again, today's show,talking about Mr Amazing, look,
in the words of my fellow rapper, ll Cool J, game of Forma is
coming back.
(01:15):
It's been around for years, 33years.
It shut down, I believe lastAugust.
Mr Amazing, yeah, yo, it's back.
Full effect, full effect, fulledit staff will be back.
Mr amazing, they bring it backwith views, leaks, everything
about game from playstation,steam, xbox.
(01:36):
They're coming back and withrevenge is mr amazing basically
done video form.
But they'll further getinformation regarding the
magazine making a comeback.
Remember, it was associatedwith GameStop and GameStop shut
it down.
Now it's called GameForward Incand it was purchased by Mr Mays
(01:57):
.
You know again, godzilla, yeah,godzilla, not Godzilla.
You know Japan, godzilla,Godzilla, no, a different
organization.
I believe the director ofDistrict 9 is involved in this
the purchase of this and withthem buying them, they're
allowing Game Informer to be ontheir own and do what they want
(02:19):
to do.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Oh, okay, so they're back for effect, because I know
Game Informer took a hit in 2022when they had massive layoffs,
and it gets people to recover.
Until you know it shut down inAugust of 2024.
So now doors are reopening, isit?
We're getting full-blown accessto it, it's not just electronic
(02:42):
.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
They'll give us further information later on, a
reference to a physical, notjust electronic.
They'll give us furtherinformation later on a reference
to a physical magazine comingback, remember, game 4 used to
be a full year every month.
Then it came every six months.
I remember that I mean notevery six months, it was yeah,
every few months Every fewmonths, it was six issues.
Basically it was six issues,yeah, so then it got shut down.
(03:05):
So basically, after 33 years,they've been here for years and
they're coming back, mr Amazing.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Nice and do we know when we can first expect our
first subscription, our firstmagazine to come out?
Well, like I said earlier, Iwas still in the work.

Mr Amazing, Are you listening?
Mr Amazing, Are you listening?
Mr Mason, Can I get the?
Speaker 2 (03:23):
mic.
Can you knock on the mic?
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Is he listening?
Mr Mason?
Yes, and they had a video ondescribing what's going on.
Let me play a little snippet ofthat video.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
We've got some big news to share today.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Here's Matt Millen Game.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
Informer is back, and so is 100% of the team that was
bringing you Game Informer whenwe shut down this past summer.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
That means production , design, video, editorial,
everybody.
Everything you loved about GameInformer before is coming back,
but we're rethinking it andevolving it to be bigger and
better.
Game Informer has been aroundsince 1991, and, yes, we were
blipped out of existence for acouple months here, but we're
back and I'm really excited topick up where we left off and
(04:10):
ramp things up to be even better.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
Of course, we were devastated when Game Informer
shut down this past summer,because we loved working
together as a team, but thething that came as a shock was
the outpouring of support andenthusiasm that came from you as
readers, and from people aroundthe industry, for what Game
Informer had meant to them.
I personally received messagesfrom people who talked about
(04:34):
growing up reading Game Informerand being excited about getting
that magazine in their mailboxevery month and what that meant
for them, and we felt that thatmeant something and that it was
something that was worth tryingto fight for and preserve.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
So that's what we did .
If you unfollowed us on all ourplatforms, like YouTube or Blue
Sky or Instagram, I don't blameyou.
We disappear, but we have thekeys back to all those accounts.
They're active again, so go hitthose follow buttons.
All of that is coming back,including an all new approach to
Game Informer magazine, both inprint and digital forms.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
The short version is that Godzilla Games purchased
Game Informer.
Game Informer now operatesunder an independent entity
called Game.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Informer Inc.
Editorial independence has beenfoundational for Game Informer
ever since it was started backin the 90s and it will continue
to be a sacred element of ouroperation going forward.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Hi, Mr Mason.

big part of gaming history?

like news outlets, don't makecomebacks like this.
I mean like paper, like youknow, paper and magazines,
that's the dying art, so forthem to be able to survive and
be able to come back.

Game Pro, okay, game Pro.
That was good too.
Sorry, game 4.
I put your arm in mention.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
You'd be probably in the 4th or 5th Game 4?
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Game 4, yeah, you're going to do that low.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
I thought it would be higher yeah so those are mines.
So I think we got two.

alright.
So I have Nintendo Power, Ihave Nintendo Gaming and Game
Pro definitely Game Pro.
And we have honorable mentions.

I never heard of that magazineRetro Gamer.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Retro Gamer.
Yeah, that was pretty cool man.
They came back.
I think early 2000s.
I think early 2000s, that wasout.
I can't get exactly.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
I never seen Mr Maze pick up Retro Form, but he said
so yeah that was one of them.

So yeah, game of.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Thrones.
Stand Up Power Game Pro.
Well, game of Thrones.
I didn't put Game of Thronesbecause we're talking about Game
of Thrones.
I was giving you the otheraspects, but personal Game of
Thrones would be there too,actually.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Yeah, game of Thrones number four.
I might be a special Game Profor Game of Forma, if I think
about it really hard, so Iprobably put Game of Forma ahead
of Game Pro.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
But I basically do their artwork.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Yeah, the artwork was really nice, even though I
wasn't a PC dude, I mean PCgamer.
Yeah, I used to look at thattoo, man.
That was more of a UK thing,though, but I knew of it.
That wasn't bad.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
All right, Mr Mason, anything else you want to say
about this topic?
Speaker 2 (09:32):
No, nothing really, but it's good to see that.
Come back and what might get,says, I guess I'll get mine too.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Yo, let's put it Welcome back, welcome back,
welcome back.
What do you think the course isgoing to be?
Speaker 2 (09:46):
What?
The course of the magazine?
What do you think it's going tobe?
I don't know If you think aboutit today.
I don't know.
Do you remember what your lastMonday subscription was?
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Remember it came with the game.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
The six month thing.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
From GameStop.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
That is true.
Yeah, you, it was incorporatedwith that because it was a
GameStop thing.
I guess I'll find out Good news.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
So Mr Mazin interrupted me saying Welcome
back, welcome back Game Informer.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Welcome back.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
All right, man, Mr Mazin.
All right, Mr Mazin.
Guess who's getting sued again,Mr Mazin, Damn I hope it ain't
Sony.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
It's Sony.
Man Damn, how did you guess.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
A Dutch consumer group is filing a lawsuit
against the mighty king of videogames right now.
Sony was accused of coming andabusing their market lead
position, keeping pricesridiculously high on PlayStation
Store.
Mr Amazing Damn, according totheir research, it goes as high
as what we see.
Mr Amazing Damn.
(10:47):
According to their research, itgoes as high as what we see.
Mr Amazing, they argue thatdigital games are placed in the
store cost 47% more than aphysical version.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Mr Amazing, I said that that's outrageous.
I hope that's not true.
I hope that's not true, manHopefully.
I hope, because that'sridiculous if it is yo.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Because how do you?
Speaker 2 (11:04):
justify that?
There's no way to justify that.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Yes, it just fire how , like Wu-Tang said, cash
throughs everything around me,but my thing is why is a digital
?
Speaker 2 (11:13):
copy get the digital game dollars out bills more
y'all yeah but my thing is, aphysical copy should be more
than a digital copy.
That's what I think personally,because you have physical
hardware, but that goes aroundall platforms.
That the digital is going to bemore than the physical.
Isn't that the other way aroundyou?
Speaker 1 (11:30):
could go to the store and then get sales for the
physical games.
That is true.
And then you go in your storewith an Xbox, playstation or
Nintendo.
You look at the freak.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Yeah, but 47% markup is a big difference.
I might get a cheaper one,probably like $6, $7 difference,
but not a 47% difference, butthat's never going to happen.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Remember, you have partners like Walmart, target,
gamestop, so they got to keepthe Because they got to keep the
price the same.
They got to keep the price thesame.
I don't know man.
When they first come out, whenthey first come out.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
When they first come out, I might be one of those
three men who'd be able to suethem too.
Man, yeah, but you can't have.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Okay, a physical copy come out for $69 and a digital
copy come out for $49, becauseyou don't have to package it, we
don't have to deliver it.
They're not going to do that,no of they said they have
partners for Target, walmart,gamestop and other video game
outlets.
Yeah, no, I understand that Imean video game stores that sell
video games physically.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
I'm not disputing that.
I'm disputing the fact thatit's 47%.
That's a big number, that's avery big number.
There's no way to justify thatkind of number.
So I think, if theseallegations I'm going to say
allegations because we don'tknow if it's true If they are
true, sony got something toexplain, to do.
We'll see, though.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
We'll see, I will see .
Because, like I said, sony, youcan't buy the digital card that
stores, so that also limitswhat you could get.
If you don't want to buy aphysical, so you go to the
digital store, the.
So you go to the digital store,the Sony digital store.
You're paying allegedly, likeyou said, that Zubin amount
extra, yeah, which is which isridiculous actually this is,
(13:10):
this is me, you know, being outthe box.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Do you think the physical copies are 47% more
because they're getting us ready?
You're talking about thedigital copies yeah, do you
think they're, because that'swhat was 47% more?
Yeah, so Do you think they'refinished, because that's what
was 47% more?
So do you think they're gettingus ready for the new wave of
prices when it's all digital?
Because you know all digital iscoming eventually.
They're pushing that on usalready.
So do you think they're gettingus ready for markups?
(13:33):
It's almost really here it is.
I mean like this is likeoptional now.
Hey, do you want thisPlayStation, the disc
PlayStation, you're the discXbox.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
For me, you and some others for it, and also think
that reason why fiscal's notthat dominant is because people
who generate don't pass it on.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Well, yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
For example If you don't take kids to those
conventions, they're not goingto be like oh shoot.
I actually put the cartridge inor put this in, and the whole
game is on there.
Yeah, and it's yours.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Well, no, I agree.
No, you're right, I don'tdispute that.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Okay, let's say okay, me and you play Madden.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Once you finish with it.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
we can't, let's say it's yours, you gotta delete it.
Delete it.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
At least before we was able to obviously put it
towards another game.
You can't do that Wish I.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Well, this is another topic I have for another day,
but I have an idea about that.
What am I going to say?
To use this is this, though?
Actually my son, you know yournephew he likes physical copies.
He's a younger generation, so Igive him that.
But, for example, Manga.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
For a while he didn't get a lot of physical copies.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
He started getting into it when he started getting
into Japanese animations.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
That's when he became big on digital copies, but for
example Manga.
Game Because he's on physicalcopies, yeah, physical copies
now to digital because of spacesspace in the house.
Yeah, can't find you on theroom which a lot of people do
tell me too, it's better forit's easier to manage for space,
oh, yeah, I think, especiallyin New York City, those small
(15:07):
apartments and the way theybuild houses now is really small
.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
If you have a basement.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
it's kind of hard to keep those physical cards Go
ahead.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Yeah, so Go ahead.
No, no, no, no.
That was just a topic.
I was just giving you scenariosof like where and how we can
work with different people anddifferent age groups, so I can
see ups and down on that.
But we're getting way off ontopic now because we're talking
about.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
That's why I called him MC Choice when I rapped back
in the days.
You don't want to hear him.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Yo, yo, my rap's the fire, fire, fire he's nothing
like what's his name from Gardenof the Galaxy.
Garden of the Galaxy, the maincharacter yo don't compare me to
that, he's actually not bad.
When I heard you, he surprisedme.
Oh my god, if I can't give hisname, I'm going to give him his
credit.
Chris Pratt yeah, he was on solate night show that he did it.
(15:58):
He shocked me, his flow.
He's not like an Eminem, though, but his flow was not that bad.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
And he surprised me.
My flow is ridiculous, son Yo,my flow is ridiculous.

honest with you.

of games to try to beat that.
So, mr Amazing, what do youthink about that?

Speaker 2 (23:22):
Really, I didn't hear about that.
Actually, I think so.
If that is, I didn't know aboutthat one.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
I believe.
So you go to God of War exhibit.
Why don't you look it up?
See, the God of War.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Look it up real quick , let's see Well we do that, but
I kind of wanted a bit more.
I was being a little greedyLike a nice surprise DLC would
have been nice or, like you said, a remastered.
That would have been nice aswell too, but I don't know.
We didn't get that this time.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
So do you have a favorite God of War game?
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Ooh, I like the two.

Those are really good.
Speaker 2 (24:02):

I have all three.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
I have all of them.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
I don't.
I'm trying to see what yourefer to, but I don't see
anything.
Is it like an exhibit?
Yeah, gallery.
Yeah, yeah, they did have that,but I think it's over now.
It's over now, yes, so, yeah,so they had like a little
gallery of music Music, excuseme Photos and stuff where you
(24:48):
could look at pictures all Dudethey are set.
They were selling too, actuallyWow, and these are not cheap.
Whoa how much did it cost?
Sold, how much did it cost?
So you got a nice cradlepicture in the back of holding
the axe.
Sold for $5,000.
Damn, you got the serpent chain.
I'm buying that these things500.
(25:09):
So we're looking at differentphotos and stuff which was on
YouTube.
We can show you guys more butthese so the highest thing I've
seen so far was for 5,000 theonly thing I would get that
there's a God of War statue withhis son.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
It's like retail.
I forgot what site would do it.
I think it was like 815, Ithink it was $2,000.
I would get that one, and thatthing is like this big.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Oh, okay, okay.
So this exhibit was successful.
It lasted from the 15th ofMarch to the 23rd, so it had a
nice run.
It just ended.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
It just ended.
It just ended the only thing Iwish they did.
I would like to do a God of Warart book.
That would be really nice.
Or the storyline of how God ofWar and you know storyline of
God of War, from God of War 1 tonow.
Okay, that would be nice.
Actually, I believe that I havea Tomb Raider book that has
that, and I also have a Sasukebook that has that.
I also have a Titan book.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
I mean that's cool.
That's pretty cool Question foryou now when do we get the next
God of War?
Speaker 1 (26:08):
Next God of War?
Next God of War?
Is it under this generation?
Yes, Mr Mason, Glad you askedthat question.
According to rumors andspeculation, it's reported by, I
think.
Is it Jeff Grubb?
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
What happened.
Jeff Grubb reported the latestclaim that a brand new God of
War side story project will behappening from Chloe to Giant's
Bar.
Jeff Grubb, it's rumored to bea new Greek god of war based on
his early experience, mr Amazing, so it should happen sometime
(26:43):
later this year, allegedly.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
A god, but not a main story, a side story.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Side story for his early adventures in Greek
mythology.
Okay, okay, I mean okay,that'll be cool, that for his
early adventures in Greekmythology.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
Okay, okay, I mean okay, that'll be cool, that'll
be cool.
I welcome that.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
So it's like we'll say Miles Wilde's side.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
Side.
Okay, so all right.
Now what I'm going to say aboutthat is, if we're going by the
timeline, god of War 2018 cameout.
The God of War came out 2022,so that was a four year period.
So I would think a new one wascoming out in 2026, because it
looked like every four yearsthey had.
I mean, the last two werebetween a four year period.
So if there was going to be one, I would think it would have
been sometime next year, becausethat would be that would mark
(27:21):
four years.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
That would be a cross-gen game a cross-gen game.
It would be a PlayStation 6,playstation 5 game but we don't.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Those systems are not coming out in 2026 yet
PlayStation probably will comeout in 2027 that's what I
thought.
Yeah, I think.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
I mean PlayStation 6, yeah, I think that's.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
We'll look more towards that time frame, but I
mean if they were going to drawa God of War game, it would be
technically 2026, because thelast one was 2022 and they do
2026.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
I mean 2026 game.
Yeah, and it comes with aPlayStation 5.
It's going to be crossover withthe PlayStation 6.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Oh, absolutely, of course you know PlayStation love
their remasters.
Of course.
Oh, that's bread and butterKeeping the lights on.
Absolutely, man Go ahead,Monica Studios.
Do what you got to do, monica,okay alright.

I'm the horror fan I've seen.
Final Destination a long time.
I have seen all of them.
I believe I have every movie onBlu-ray.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Wow, impressive.

somebody else.
Speaker 1 (29:04):

All right, people, let's kickit.
Final Destination FinalDestination Borderline Trailer.
Let's do this.
Speaker 4 (29:24):
Family.
You don't get to pick the oneyou get.
Just gotta love the one you got.
I always knew this day wouldcome.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
I got it.
Speaker 4 (29:35):
I don't think you got it.
I held him off for years.
Charlie, get up here.
He's a relentless son of abitch.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
We'll stop till he finishes the job.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Death is coming for our family.
Speaker 4 (30:19):
Oh, oh, oh oh oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
oh, oh oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
oh, oh oh oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
oh.
I saved a lot of lives thatnight.
(30:39):
Everyone needs to get off thedance floor lives that were
never meant to be saved.
But death doesn't like it whenyou mess with his plans.
This book, it will show youeverything you need to know to
keep our family safe.
It all started with grandma.
Death is coming for us becausewe were never supposed to exist.
(31:01):
What?
Speaker 3 (31:04):
only by embracing death will it pass you by.
Maybe that's not actuallycoming for our family, because
that would be crazy.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
Good luck, mr Maynard .
Final Destination Bloodlines.
What do you think about itcoming out May 6th?
Could we green light it, redlight it or y'all like this
trailer.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
Oh, definitely green-lighted.
This got my attention.
It's a good summer movie.
Start of the summer, I shouldsay.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
That's what I think.
It's probably the lastperformance by Tony Todd, the
guy who also voiced Venom, venom, yeah, yes, it seems very
interesting.
The same.
It's more like you said, arebirth of it, a rebirth yeah, a
rebirth of it.
So not a remaster or remake,but a rebirth of the series
(32:02):
Seems very interesting.
Hopefully get a second trailerthat might tell more detail, but
this actually gives you theexact details.
what's going on in the storyyeah yeah, let's say, watching a
video form, it shows like umprevious um.
They're giving hints toprevious um movies prior to this
prior ones yeah yeah.
So, mr mazes, so you say yougreen light?
(32:24):
Yeah, yeah, about you.
I totally agree, green light,this trailer yeah, me too.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
It's a good movie.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Yeah, very soon, about a month, and change.
I think the movie wegreenlighted was it Love Hurts.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
That's the last we did.
We did greenlight that, yeah,we did.
That movie is bombed.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
Oh man, and then three weeks later it was
streaming, hey.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
Hey, can't get my children all the time, huh.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
So I spoke to this girl.
She said so the first daysounds horrible.
Oh damn, sounds horrible.
We didn't know.
Damn, damn, damn, damn.
All right, mr Amazing, let's goto our Should we Care topic of
the week.
Mr Amazing, let me start offwith this.
What do you think the Should weCare topic of the week is, mr
Amazing, let me start off withthis.
What do you think?
(33:11):
The sweet care?
Speaker 2 (33:13):
topic of the week is Mr Amazing.
What are we talking about?
Speaker 1 (33:14):
Yo.
Playstation is teamed up withRaylo to launch a rental service
based in the UK for thePlayStation 5, playstation Pro
and the PlayStation Portal, andalso the PlayStation VR set.
Mr Mason, mm-hmm, damn it.
(33:36):
What do you think about this?
Okay, split.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
All right, I looked at it.
So you get a kick for your buckdepending on how long the
rentals are.
They go from one year, two yearto three year.
The shorter the rental, themore money you're going to pay
monthly.
So, for example, let's say yourent a PS5, right, A 36-month
contract will be $24.50 permonth, which is more money than
(34:02):
what the console costs.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
So this is like $800?
Yeah, $800.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
Yeah, so you'd pay about a hundred bucks more, give
or take something like that yoboth just go to carna, just go
to carna, go to carna, or go tozip and pay that way, yeah, just
put like a couple hundred downand then go to carna, that's
what I'm thinking, so go aheadso you're right.
Actually, I agree with you onthat one.
So I think something like thatis good for maybe be.
I think if I was to getsomething on this, it would
probably be a VR, becausethere's not that much game to
get on it.
You rent it for a little much.
(34:33):
You could bring out the hotgames you want and rent it right
back.
To be honest with you, yeah,but it's cheaper.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
now you might as well just get the VR headset.
Speaker 2 (34:46):
Yeah, so this is Apparently this thing, it's not,
it's probably popular In the UK.
In the UK, I think, you saidwhat was it?
Ray Law?
Something like that.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
Yeah, that's the company they teamed up with To
do this yeah, I just don't seethis making sense.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
To me it kind of reminds me of Rent-A-Center,
where you get stuff and youbring it over.
Speaker 3 (35:05):
Is.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
Rent-A-Center still around your rent incentive, to
be honest with you.
So I just don't see the pointof you paying.
Well, at least rent incentiveto keep it after you pay for it.
Yeah, that's right, becauseyou're going to pay.
I'm happy you said that becausethis is a kicker.
You get a three-year contract.
You're paying $24.50, so you'regoing to pay more than what the
system costs.
Then you're going to retire it.
Speaker 1 (35:39):
So least.
If you do any damage, you paymore yeah, of course you, of
course.
Anything you dad, you gotta paymore the thing I found funny, I
found it strange the the dualset edge wireless.
You can rent that.
Yeah, I was going, I didn'tcontrol, I didn't know.
No, I saw that.
I was like no and no, I sawthat too.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
I was like get, get out of here they said, the PS
Portal, the DualSense Edge andthe PS VR and the PlayStation 4.
Obviously.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
I understand like you wanna test the portal, so you
wanna fill out the month.
I'll do that like alright.
I might do that, alright boom.
Or if I could say, vr that'sprobably what I would've got a,
I'm going to still buy it.
If I buy it, I'm going to buyit.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
I get it.
I know if you're strapped forcash, this sounds like the best
dream.
Well, 24, 50, I can cough thatup.
That's nothing, but it's not awin.
You just got into a badcontract.
I look at it as a bad contractfor you because you don't get to
keep the system.
No, it's not a lease option tobuy, so no, it's not worth For
that.
Get a credit card, get an 18month no interest pay and try to
(36:33):
purchase it through the 18months.
I think that you're better offthan that, but I digress.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
Oh, we also, so should we care a lot, a little,
not at all.
Speaker 2 (36:41):
Not at all for me at all man.
Even if you broke, you got themoney.
Speaker 1 (36:51):
I think it's you something, Sony.
You get the gangsta of the weekfor doing what if you put
people out?
And the people who buy this arethe wasters?
Speaker 2 (36:56):
I agree with you.
Sony's a gangsta and a consumerof wax.
Speaker 4 (37:01):
Get the hell out of here.
Speaker 2 (37:02):
No options to buy it.
You don't keep it.
Hell, no God, that's what theysaid.
Got another sucker.
