Sony has now revealed a ton more information about the PlayStation 5, including what games to expect as well as the design. So this week, we take a lot of time to break down where both next-gen consoles from Sony and Microsoft are leading up to their launches this holiday season, as well as speculate about what customers can expect. Also, Samuel breaks down why most console buyers may want to buy a new TV to take advantage of the new hardware. And, of course,  we give our guesses as to what the consoles will cost.  Please support the bail project   If you can, we’d appreciate your support on Patreon --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/culturevacuum/support

Total honesty, it felt weird talking about the atrocious behavior of violent cops and how they abuse the black community in the same hour we talked about HBO Max, but we felt we’d be doing a disservice not talking about the change in our country that has followed the murder of George Floyd.  So yes, we spend a lot of time talking about something you may not want to hear about, and then awkwardly pivot to talking about a streaming service. We understand if you may not be along for that ride. Please donate to the bail project or a similar organization fighting for true justice.  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/culturevacuum/support
