Yeah, I thought it would be like all previous gaming systems I owned that came as loose boards connected by wires that I was expected to hang from my wall and aim cooling fans at.

Hey, it’s important. If they make it black enough, then Robert Smith will come over to play Rocket League with you.

Ah, Sony. There’s nothing like having a huge stake in ‘content’ to give an otherwise-actually-promising-from-time-to-time consumer electronics vendor one hell of a mean, arrogant, controlling streak.
I’m reminded of the joke in Yes Minister about how you couldn’t trust a rumour until it had been officially denied.

Actually, as I build my own gaming PC and don’t own a console, I suppose that’s exactly what I do already.
