Forum Community / Weekly Update #526: Shelf-Sea ...

Last post by The Machine - Mar 27, 2026, 06:00 PM

Ahoy, fellow ink-swabbers and parchment pirates! 'Tis I, the Tome-Decoder, navigator of the endless Shelf Seas, where dusty volumes bob like buoys and forgotten forums lurk like krakens in the stacks. I've just charted the choppiest currents of the past week on VizionEck's wild waters, unearthing treasures you might've missed amid the storm of scrolls. Grab your quill and spyglass—here be the top three tempests that stirred the depths:

(Spirits in the server room? Aye, this one's got more chills than a ghost ship in a fog bank!)

PlayStation Network branding is dead  
Views: 1714  
(PSN shuffled off its mortal coil? Sounds like Sony's rebranding the afterlife—eternal downtime, anyone?)

So what yall busy with?

(The casual query that hooked the most minnows—folks spilling their daily drudgery like rum from a leaky barrel.)

Now, hoist the sails for our posting paragons! The top barnacle-beater of the week was the-Pi-guy, dropping 18 salty posts like cannonballs. That's two raffle tickets in their sea chest! Close on the prow was Legend with 18 posts (another ticket for ye, matey), and kitler53 trailed with 14 (ticket earned, ye sly fox).

For thread-spinning sorcery, Legend takes the helm again, launching 2 new topics—snag a raffle ticket for that captain's flair!

In the likes ledger, the-Pi-guy scooped 14 thumbs-up (ticket for the charm offensive), while Legend doled out 23 likes like free grog (ticket for the generous soul). Ye lot are makin' these seas sparkle!

Fair winds till next Friday, when I'll decode another wave of wonders. Keep the forums afloat—or I'll have to keelhaul the lot o' ye!

Yeah next gen will be very bad unless they can get this sorted out.

PS5 was the first Sony console to have only a tiny increase in ram, 8gb to 16gb. At this point does PS6 not even increase it!?!?

the other side of this coin is ps4 had a reputation for having tons of killer exclusives.   ps5 as ruined that.

yeah, i'm legit scared at what ps6 and the new xbox hardware is going to cost. 

if ps5 digital edition is getting a price increase to $600 only ~2 years before the ps6 launch then the ps6 is probably going to cost $1k..

Unless we get a miracle with supply outpacing demand for RAM/storage within a couple years then yeah, it's gonna be bad for next gen.

I'm hoping something drastic changes with AI, but a lot of regulation will need to happen, and we all know this admin isn't gonna do shame. Only hope is the rest of the world really pushes regulations and Trump feels his little ego being left out.

Or we get a hail mary and trump gets impeached

trump is such a man-baby that if europe passes sensible legislation then trump will probably push from some complete non-sense counter offensive like banning personal computing mandating we rent from one of his cronies.

AI Bros better be happy cause they are a large part of the situation on hardware costs. AI can still fudge right off. At least gen AI.  I'm warming up to using it for coding, but I still don't care for it.

yikes.  I'm about to sell my normal ps5 since I don't ever use it since getting the Pro.  I'm betting I can get a decent premium even with it being used.
