Was anyone else able to lock one in? I've always wanted one of the OG @analogue versions, but I missed the initial waves. So hyped to finally get these in hand this December! Managed to secure the Super Nt+ Classic and Mega Sg+ JP.

RUMOR: Microsoft could launch tree Next-Gen Xbox consoles in 2027
> Project Helix X — flagship console targeting around 56 TFLOPS, with a rumored price of $1,000.
> Helix S — a more affordable $500–600 console reportedly designed to outperform the PS5 Pro.
> Helix Handheld — a portable device targeting around 10 TFLOPS of performance, reportedly approaching PS5-level gaming.
The rumored lineup could also feature deep Microsoft ecosystem integration, PC game support and Steam access.
My backlog has officially hit final boss status. 🎮😅
Help me pick the starting point:
🕹️ A) Massive 100-hour RPG
🕹️ B) Short indie game
🕹️ C) Scroll the menu for 20 mins and play nothing (Probably end up picking this one lol)
What’s the move👇

Saw a kid around maybe 12, walking out of @BestBuy with his parents with one of those @LogitechG racing wheels holding it over his head like he won. It was just one of those moments that make you smile.
Took the McLaren sim rig for a spin at the @MicrosoftStore in #NYC with @ATBouley! 🏎️💨
Massive thanks to @Xbox and @ForzaHorizon for putting together such an awesome setup.

I really love @NinjaTheory and was saddened to hear this news. At the 2024 @thegameawards after @JuergensMelina won best preformance I ended up being in the elevator with the team at the hotel and told them how great they are and how much their games ment to me. Thank you NT.
A buyer for Ninja Theory has fallen through and Xbox will now close Ninja Theory.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The exact wording in the press release is "We will now begin consultation with employees on a proposed closure while continuing to explore other paths forward.", which means closure is highly likely but still leaves room for an alternative for the time being.

Let's just say the quiet parts out loud. Lol
An update from PlayStation Studios: After careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to step away from collaborating with KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS on its project PHYSINT. We continue to have great admiration for Hideo Kojima's vision for the game.
Our relationship remains strong after three decades of industry-leading, genre-defining creative cooperation, and we look forward to continued close collaboration with Hideo Kojima and his award-winning independent studio in the future.

PlayStation's statement presents the PHYSINT split as a mutual "step away" after careful consideration with future collaboration expected. Kojima stated PlayStation unexpectedly notified cancellation in mid-June 2026, forcing a 3-month search for a new partner (Xbox).

As confirmed earlier through our official channels, in mid-June of this year, we unexpectedly received notice from PlayStation Studios that they would cancel the PHYSINT project. PHYSINT is an important project both to me personally and to KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS. Determined to keep the project alive, we have spent the last three months searching tirelessly for a new partner. In the course of seeking advice and pursuing negotiations with people across many fields, we found in XBOX a partner with whom we share a common vision for the future, and we have decided to team up with them once again. Please rest assured that development of PHYSINT, our genre-defining action-espionage title, is ongoing and will continue moving forward.
