Bloomberg's 23+ minute interview with Phil Spencer is up.
Likely a mistake but Bloomberg says Xbox is the home of Sonic in the intro

That's rather provocative claim, given Sonic games are on multi-platforms.

Also I pre-ordered Frontiers Deluxe.

Bloomberg interviewer was actually from another universe where Microsoft bought SEGA after Dreamcast era ended.

Also I pre-ordered Frontiers Deluxe.

It's kinda expensive ($70 deluxe, 60$ standard) than usual Sonic games ($45 deluxe, 40$ standard) so I hope the game's really worth it.

Blu-ray Sales: August 14-20: Sonic the Hedgehog 2 was Dropped to Second Number



Quote
Dropping to second place on both charts is the previous week's champion, Paramount Home Media Distribution's Sonic the Hedgehog 2.
The sequel to the surprise 2020 hit film was shot in 2021 and opened in April 2022 to generally positive reviews.
The film topped the box office in its opening weekend with over $72 million and ended up grossing over $190 million domestically and over $401 million worldwide so far, already more than its predecessor made in total.

I want it... but it's also £60! Why is it the same price as a deluxe Sonic game?

The video is gone now... I wonder why....
Edit : And now it's there again...

I got mine from Steam for £60.

So I checked the local store
physical (Asian version) pe-order is somehow cheaper than digital one
($40 vs $60, that's a lot of difference).
It even has keychain bonus.

"Pre-order" merchandises usually are more expensive.
Just wait until few days after it's released and the price will go down
(assuming it wouldn't be sold out first).

More on Mid week probably.
Sonic Sims always have Mid-Week Update now, not just Weekly Update.
