There you go. That's just regular MicroSD. Not sure how much I trust Gigastone as a brand.

Yeah, so you're probably... Okay, there's a 200 bucks for the one terabyte. So now at that point, you're in like Microsoft, you know, memory card. Territory, right? This will obviously come down. The fact that they are giving you the 256 off the bat means you're going to hit that wall less early. There was a while on my Switch before I needed to put a card into it.

Again, though, the games, high definition, high resolution, these games are inevitably also going to take up more space. Sooner or later, you're going to need to put a card in that thing. Hopefully, by the time that you... need to do that, the prices will have come down a little bit.

Cause that, that, that, that is, that's like, that's like at least, I think you can get a really good, like high speed, regular micro SD card, like a, like a quality Samsung one or a SanDisk or whatever, a terabyte for like a hundred bucks. If the micro SD express that we saw there is 200 right now, that's, you know, you'll pay a double. Um, so yeah, it would be nice to see those cards come down.

I mean, obviously tariffs are affecting everything, right? And it's obviously, don't get me started. I'm not going to get into the politics of it. You know where I stand on this. But yeah, I think it's got to be, I think it plays some part and not necessarily all. I think this is, the price that they felt that they could hit. And like I said, it's disappointing that it is as much as it is.

Again, for me, it's 50 bucks over my over-under. Other than that, look, shit just gets more expensive. Everything is fucking getting more expensive just through inflation and tariffs and just shit just gets more expensive. Again, I remember when games were a lot cheaper.

One thing I wanted to go back to, because I missed it the first time around, on the dock, I think the potentially most interesting thing about that is the dock has its own fan, which is really interesting in terms of the difference between the performance you're going to get out of the system when it's handheld and the difference when it's docked.

Right now, there is a little bit of a difference already on the Switch, right? If you dock a Switch, you're going to get higher frame rates and things like that because the dock is doing some... There's some upscaling that's going on or whatever, right? With a dedicated fan in the dock, I think you're going to potentially see a bigger performance upgrade from handheld to docked performance.

Because, you know, there's a lot of performance in... portable systems and laptops and things like that is temperature capped, right? This is why you can't get... You're never going to get really, really good frame rates or high performance of, say, like, a laptop that is only passively cooled.

And if it doesn't have its own fans spinning in there to, like, you know, cool shit down when it starts running hot, the performance is always going to be capped to that level. Once you add a fan, right, and all high-end systems have fans, you can start pushing the hardware a lot... a lot harder because the fan's going to deal with it.

So I think potentially the additional fan in the dock could lead to a big, I think you might see like really noticeable performance upgrades when you dock it compared to when you're playing handheld.
