Samsung Foundry, the South Korean business's semiconductor foundry branch, announced a price increase for chip fabrication, which might affect numerous members of the computer sector, including Nvidia, because this company manufactures the DIEs in the GeForce RTX line 3000.

The reasoning for this increase is to expedite the process of acquiring funding for its new facility in Pyeongtaek, which will make chips at 5nm and 4nm, in order to remain competitive with TSMC and alleviate the industry's present supply shortage.

Given that Samsung may have already signed contracts for a specific price with its customers, this increase may not affect the prices of graphics cards and other components that are already in production; however, if a new contract is required, it will be made with the price updated, and this is where you will see the price increase. Hopefully, the contracts negotiated with Nvidia are long-term.

Xbox S is the deal of the decade, 300€ for a good 1080p gaming device.
If you can live without the benefits of gaming on a computer that is.
I personally don't like most console games, only enjoy playing racing and adventure.
I have a PS2 with NFS and Prince of Persia, loved those games for the time my PC was broken.

No it's not. Xbox Series X, plays at ultra 4K 120fps. Xbox Series S plays 1440p 60fps/1080p 120fps medium. Difference is huge. It's the fail of the decade.

You have two kidneys and only need one.

True, but if we all start selling our kidneys the kidney market will collapse and we'll be back to square one.

Hell no. I'd rather game on older PC hardware with older games then touch a console.
Just too much freedom to do what ever.

I had a blast with FC3 on my gt 1030 @1080p, so many great older games! I totally agree @Agonist.
