    Code in a Box

    This week! CJ and Greg wade through a genuinely grim news pile: GTA VI's pricing and "code in a box" physical edition, the memory crisis pushing console prices toward $1,000, Valve's Steam Machine sticker shock, Xbox's worst sales month on record, and fresh layoffs at Bungie. There's a sliver of good news in a Sea of Thieves movie, and then it's on to what they've been playing — Star Fox, the Rhythm Heaven Groove demo, Picross, Gitaroo Man, and Vampire Crawlers. Listener questions cover next-gen wish lists and the long-lost "baby cast," and much, much more. Join us, won't you? https://youtube.com/live/g49hodmvQko Links of interest: News GTA VI pre-orders open: $80/$100, physical is a code in a box Report disputes a later disc-based GTA VI release Steam Machine pricing revealed Xbox is increasing prices again Xbox hits worst US sales month on record, PS5 drops 58% A major retailer warns of a console shortage this Christmas Memory prices might never return to normal Micron locks in historically high memory prices through 2030 Bungie announces layoffs and reorganization A live-action Sea of Thieves movie is in the works What'cha Been Playing Star Fox Rhythm Heaven Groove (demo) Picross S: Genesis & Master System edition Gitaroo Man Vampire Crawlers Socials Player One Podcast Discord Greg Sewart's Extra Life Page Greg Streams on Twitch Greg Sewart's Patreon Games I Completed – 2025 Other Double Fine PsychOdyssey Post Games (Chris Plante's podcast) PS5 Pro Subscribe to the podcast Check out Greg's web series Generation 16 - click here.
