Thanks for the excellent coverage of the Xbox Series X reveals. I've mostly been a PlayStation gamer, but I recently bought an Xbox One X to try out some of the Xbox exclusives and make use of the 4k option on my TV. While I can understand how the "Smart Delivery" tag might dilute excitement for a new console generation, to me it reads as pro-consumer (they announced this as an emphasis before the pandemic, fwiw). I'm thrilled that I'll be able to play these newer games on the Xbox One and then upgrade them if/when I get a Series X. (I'm probably going to get the PS5, first, and then eventually the Series X.) I also think cross-gen support is important in a moment when purchasing power is in decline as unemployment spikes globally. Even if the consoles come out, lots of people won't be able to buy them. Also, and here's my last thought, I'm actually less interested in better graphics for the next gen (though that will be nice) than I am in shorter load times, the ability to have more textures on screen and more complex AI, and the possibility of more environmental physics.

It really doesn't matter that you are a little late. You did it to include som very important news. I'd rather you delay the show a day than making a separate show and putting it in the feed. Overall you guys are doing a great job and I look forward to and enjoy your podcast every week.
