[3109.64 --> 3109.68] Periodically.
[3110.14 --> 3114.40] Because it is, it does look a lot better than streaming.
[3114.40 --> 3119.80] But man, is Blu-ray ever going to get replaced?
[3119.98 --> 3122.02] Like, will there be a successor, or are we just done?
[3122.40 --> 3123.00] I think we're done.
[3124.62 --> 3125.02] Huh.
[3125.02 --> 3130.08] I mean, it's at the point now where it's just.
[3130.18 --> 3131.92] People have kind of voted with their wallets.
[3132.02 --> 3132.86] They want cheaper.
[3132.96 --> 3133.80] They don't want higher quality.
[3134.64 --> 3143.74] And it's gotten to the point where I think the cheaper option is so much cheaper that a lot of people don't think it's worth it.
[3144.10 --> 3146.76] So they're still going to be providing support and doing updates, but.
[3147.64 --> 3148.04] I mean.
[3148.86 --> 3155.52] And at the same time, to be fair, like a high-end Blu-ray player, I think is a little bit harder to explain the value of.
[3156.14 --> 3157.54] Like a lot of people are going to.
[3157.80 --> 3158.20] Yeah.
[3158.28 --> 3159.28] Go with like their PlayStation.
[3159.68 --> 3159.88] Yeah.
[3160.00 --> 3160.58] Or whatever else.
[3160.70 --> 3161.02] I sure would.
[3161.14 --> 3161.44] Built in.
[3161.44 --> 3162.22] Xbox One S.
[3162.40 --> 3162.98] Yeah, exactly.
[3163.10 --> 3163.50] That's what I'm saying.
[3163.68 --> 3164.52] Yeah, PlayStation doesn't.
[3164.86 --> 3165.04] Oh.
[3165.14 --> 3166.62] No Blu-ray player in the PS4 Pro.
[3166.78 --> 3167.06] Right.
[3167.28 --> 3167.76] Didn't know that.
[3167.90 --> 3168.04] Yeah.
[3168.48 --> 3172.10] But like, yeah, I feel like they would go with.
[3172.86 --> 3173.20] What?
[3173.78 --> 3174.24] How did that work?
[3174.24 --> 3174.60] Hold on.
[3174.60 --> 3175.16] I might be.
[3175.30 --> 3176.08] I might have that wrong.
[3176.46 --> 3176.76] Yeah.
[3176.76 --> 3179.40] I played a Blu-ray in a PS4 Pro.
[3179.68 --> 3181.46] Like, not even a Pro.
[3181.58 --> 3181.78] Hold on.
[3181.82 --> 3182.32] I might have that wrong.
[3182.36 --> 3183.18] What is the stupid thing?
[3183.26 --> 3183.76] Ultra HD.
[3183.96 --> 3184.14] Sorry.
[3184.32 --> 3186.08] That was the stupid thing that it didn't have.
[3186.46 --> 3190.54] Xbox One S has support for 4K Blu-ray and the PS4 Pro doesn't.
[3190.58 --> 3191.32] I was like, wait a minute.
[3191.42 --> 3191.62] No, no.
[3191.68 --> 3192.66] The PS3 had Blu-ray.
[3193.02 --> 3193.18] Yeah.
[3193.34 --> 3193.50] Okay.
[3193.62 --> 3193.78] Sorry.
[3193.84 --> 3193.96] Go ahead.
[3193.98 --> 3195.14] I was pretty confused for a second there.
[3195.36 --> 3200.60] But yeah, I think people use an existing device or they would rather go buy something that
[3200.60 --> 3205.34] can do a bunch of other stuff and play Blu-rays instead of something that just plays Blu-rays.
[3205.34 --> 3210.24] Speaking of other things dead, Intel's smart glasses group, gone.
[3211.56 --> 3216.38] The glasses they were working on called Vaunt looked kind of like normal glasses and used
[3216.38 --> 3219.00] a low-powered laser beam to beam images into the eye.
[3220.48 --> 3225.70] So either Intel is giving up on AR for a while or they figured they were never going to get
[3225.70 --> 3230.44] laser beams into your eye past the regulatory bodies that pay attention to that sort of thing.
[3230.44 --> 3233.56] Which I think, honestly, both of those options are totally valid.
[3236.66 --> 3240.64] Because I think, how is this not a much more major topic?
[3240.82 --> 3241.58] Well, we're talking about this.
[3242.20 --> 3242.50] Okay.
[3242.66 --> 3247.10] GeForce Partner Program is, well, we kind of talked about it a little bit last week,
[3247.18 --> 3248.78] but it looks like it's official.
[3248.78 --> 3253.10] Asus has announced, the original article here is from Hot Hardware.
[3253.32 --> 3254.34] You weren't here last week.
[3254.72 --> 3255.40] A week before?
[3256.76 --> 3257.40] I don't know.
[3257.82 --> 3258.04] Okay.
[3258.50 --> 3261.56] Ares, Ares, Ares video cards.
[3261.70 --> 3264.10] No, I read the article where it was rumored.
[3264.36 --> 3265.96] I talked about it on WAN Show at some point.
[3266.24 --> 3266.68] Oh, okay.
[3266.80 --> 3267.46] But this is it.
[3267.52 --> 3268.06] It's official.
[3268.06 --> 3276.14] ROG is out for Asus's high-end gaming products that feature AMD processors.
[3276.80 --> 3285.40] So this is Ares, which is a play on Asus's Ares with an S, not a Z, high-end, like, dual-GPU AMD Radeon cards
[3285.40 --> 3290.28] that were, like, a limited edition, similar to their Mars ones for NVIDIA.
[3290.28 --> 3294.70] So just a summary for those of you who aren't familiar.
[3295.78 --> 3301.88] The program rewards partners with perks, including marketing funds, special promotions, and extra engineering support.
[3302.42 --> 3306.82] And Asus has not gone on the record saying it joined the program, but with the release of Ares,
[3307.54 --> 3312.16] it is fairly clear that Republic of Gamers will only be used on GeForce cards
[3312.16 --> 3316.94] and other products containing an NVIDIA processor.
[3316.94 --> 3319.94] Da-da-da!
[3321.84 --> 3322.28] Intense.
[3322.48 --> 3323.20] Have you seen this?
[3324.66 --> 3326.00] I have no idea what this is.
[3326.12 --> 3327.32] Yeah, it's lame.
[3327.90 --> 3329.88] It's just stupid marketing junk.
[3330.56 --> 3335.34] So, yeah, speaking of stupid marketing junk, that's it for the WAN Show.
[3335.58 --> 3335.90] Yeah.
[3336.58 --> 3337.72] The marketing junk show.
[3338.30 --> 3338.68] No.
[3339.70 --> 3340.80] There's more to it than that.
[3341.04 --> 3342.48] I ate jerky for half of this show.
[3342.72 --> 3344.96] Yeah, I was going to say we eat stuff.
[3344.96 --> 3346.14] They don't pay extra for that, though.
