The PS5 drought may be ending

Inside Gaming Roundup

2021 Episode 37 September 18, 2021

Go to http://expressvpn.com/roundup to get 3 months free on a 1-year package. PS5 consoles have been extremely hard to get a hold of ever since they launched at the end of last year but there may be hope in sight. That’s right there is a tiny hint that the great PS5 shortage might be coming to an end. Maybe not tomorrow, maybe not next month, but soon. PlayStation 5 drops are starting to become more regular, PlayStation executives have claimed they are not worried about semiconductor shortages, but the big tell is that PS5 Scalpers have started slashing their prices. It’s a small victory but we’ll take what we can get. In other news; Deathloop reviews are great but the PC version is experiencing some pretty significant issues. Battlefield 2042 is being delayed, Activision BLizzard employees are suing the company for union busting, and the Nintendo Switch finally gets bluetooth headphone support. This week 5 Second Review of Deathloop pays our respect to a king and the Coming Soon section is a little shorter but is certainly packing some bangers with Kena, Diablo II, Death Stranding Directors Cut, and Lost Judgement. That’s gonna do it for this week, have a great weekend, and thanks for watching!

I sincerely hope I will be able to get a next gen console, most of the time consoles go live I’m at work. The only time I can try to get one was the halo 20th anniversary series x but the Walmart website was too laggy and I couldn’t get one.😢

lol it really doesnt matter. Almost everybody they pushed away by their decisions to get the consoles in the scalpers hands has moved on and has very little intention of buying it post lockdown.. People wanted it FOR the lockdown. Not after and also still when theres no freaking games. Theres only 1 game on there Id even buy and you can get the genre experience way cheaper on PC.

It wont happen anyway.. Thats why its so funny nobody cares about China, they're taking over all the chip manufacturing against everyones will and chips will go to shitty Huawei phones before Sony. People should have cared about Taiwan.

The combat in Deathloop is boring because the AI is dumb af, including the "tough miniboss" Julianna, you can kill her with the infinite kick, matter of a fact you can beat the game with just kicking repeatedly, but hey it's everyones GOTY
