The Better Half

**Bray** (0:19)
Welcome.

**Grant** (0:21)
Welcome, welcome. There's nobody else.

**Bray** (0:24)
Yeah, this is it, sorry.

**Grant** (0:26)
It's just us two.

**Bray** (0:26)
So if you want to leave now, you can.

**Grant** (0:30)
If not, probably not. But if you want to know why, we're going to tell you, don't worry.
Addison is at the beach, so he has a valid excuse. Last week, there was no podcast because everyone was not here. Like no one was here, so there was like no possible way for us to do it. But this week, Addison is at the beach, and Cole is actually at home right now. We called him, and he was like...

**Bray** (0:55)
Probably still asleep.

**Grant** (0:56)
He's not. He sent me a video. He's grinding NCAA 25
He's in the middle of a UAB Blazers rebuild, and they're like 6-0 and 5 in the country. 5th in the country, so...

**Bray** (1:07)
When did that officially come out?

**Grant** (1:11)
Two days, like Monday. Monday, if you bought early access.

**Bray** (1:14)
Okay, so yesterday.

**Grant** (1:16)
But I think it comes out, yeah, like, I don't know. It was like a couple of days ago if you bought early access, and then it comes out, like, for real, I think on the 18th or the 19th. So tomorrow or the day after.
So Cole bought early access. Yeah.

**Bray** (1:31)
Yeah, he said it was like 100 bucks, which I'm sure it won't be much cheaper than that.

**Grant** (1:35)
It's like 70, if you don't.

**Bray** (1:37)
That's not bad.

**Grant** (1:37)
I can't even buy it. I don't have a new gen.
You have to have a next.

**Bray** (1:41)
Oh, it has to be on Series X?

**Grant** (1:42)
It has to be a next gen.

**Bray** (1:44)
I've actually tried to play a few games like that in the past couple months that have to be a new gen console.

**Grant** (1:51)
Black Ops 6 is coming out. That has to be on next gen. GTA 6 is about to come out like in the next couple years, I think.

**Bray** (2:00)
You keep asking me to play the finals, and I can't play that because I don't have the...

**Grant** (2:04)
I think I'm just gonna buy one. I think it's just kind of like, you have to just go and just do it. Like I'm about to buy... But I don't think I want an Xbox.

**Bray** (2:18)
I think I want a PS5. I've never had PlayStation.

**Grant** (2:22)
Neither have I. I've never played one.
My gaming world started with the Xbox 360

**Bray** (2:31)
Yeah, yeah. One hit. I got my current and only Xbox in like 2020, 2021

**Grant** (2:37)
Yeah, I have the same one as you now, but I had an Xbox 360 first, and I grinded Skylanders, Disney Infinity and Halo Reach.

**Bray** (2:47)
Yeah, I haven't even looked at the new ones. Is it, are they like, I mean, obviously the price of the drops since they came out, but is it like a whole lot cheaper than a PC, or is it like, or is it like close?

**Grant** (3:03)
I don't know about an Xbox, so I've been looking at the PlayStation. The PlayStation 5, when it came out, I think it was like $500, and now it's like $450.

**Bray** (3:10)
Oh, nice.

**Grant** (3:11)
So it's like, well, next year, PS4s are going offline. Like you can't even play them if you wanted to.
Xbox just doesn't do that.

**Bray** (3:18)
Right, yeah.

**Grant** (3:18)
It's because ours are like multiple year old.

**Bray** (3:20)
Yeah, you can still play a 360

**Grant** (3:22)
Yeah, I can still play a 360 But PS, well, you can still play a 360 online if you wanted to, but they're going completely offline next year. PS4, I mean, I guess they just do that, because you know the PS3 and 2 are offline too, and the PS1, I guess. I don't know.
Did they call it the PS1 or did they just call it the PS? Did you ever think, have you ever thought about that?

**Bray** (3:43)
I think it was just called PlayStation.

**Grant** (3:44)
PlayStation?

**Bray** (3:45)
Yeah.

**Grant** (3:45)
I know, but did people say, can I come play your PlayStation? Or they're like, can I play your PS?

**Bray** (3:49)
Yeah, PlayStation. Now, after the second one came out, they probably said PS1.

**Grant** (3:53)
They probably said PS1 and PS2.

**Bray** (3:54)
Yeah, but originally, yeah, it was just PlayStation.

**Grant** (3:57)
I don't like that.

**Bray** (3:59)
I mean, it's better than Xbox 360, and then they just went to one. They went from 360 to one.
