In a massive show over 5 hours long, Fred and Chase tackle just about every aspect of “next gen tech”.  The show starts off with demystifying all the hardware and buzz-word software before delving into the differences between the Xbox Series S/X and the Playstation 5.  This is a long one so bitrate is reduced for file size and we have time stamps for the important items.

13:11: Hard Drives (HDD vs SSD vs NVME)

53:54: HDMI (1.4 vs 2.0 vs 2.1)

01:05:24: Visual Tech – What it is and how it works (Resolution, Frame Rate, HDR, Ray Tracing)

01:51:25: Audio (Stereo, 5.1/7.1, Dolby Atmos)

2:08:00: PC

02:33:30: Xbox Series S/X

04:01:05: Playstation 5

Feel free to leave a comment or question below.  We will respond to all questions within the comments.  Thanks for listening!

This week Fred and Trees decided to stay indoors for no reason whatsoever.  Despite this they still managed to replace hot water heaters, dishwashers, attack birds in dryer vents, talk the new Xbox, shop for retro games and comics, not to mention wrap up Watch Dogs and enjoy some wholesome hours in “Warzone”, the new free-to-play game/mode for Modern Warfare.

Opening Song: Facehammer – Ozzed (check out his amazing chiptunes at ozzed.net)
