Things we can learn from the video
Press to jump

A console price rumor needs a little unpacking before anyone starts budgeting. In TechLinked's "BIG OOF," James Strive reports that rising memory and storage costs could push Sony's PlayStation 6 above the thousand-dollar mark. The important distinction comes early: manufacturing costs are not the final price a shopper pays.
The episode drew roughly 430,000 views in its first day, about fifteen times TechLinked's usual start for regular videos. That is a sharp jump for a roundup whose opening subject is still a possibility, rather than a Sony announcement.
Strive traces the warning to leaked hardware-pricing reports from KeplerL2. In the comments, viewers connect the prospect to the wider expense of gaming: larger installations, accessories and the inability to resell digital purchases. Others recall when a modest PC budget went further. These are concerns prompted by the report, not confirmed details of the PS6.
The episode also has a more immediately practical gaming item: a mod bringing Nvidia's DLSS 5 features to several generations of AMD Radeon cards. Later, the direction reverses from adding features to removing them, with developers using AI tools to strip ads, tracking and unwanted software from smart TVs.
There is a sponsored segment for mobile carrier Cape between the main headlines and the shorter news items. In those later items, Strive also reports that outdated Plex servers are being hijacked for cryptocurrency mining.
