what they describe as zero consumer interest in the GPU in Japan when two
retailers in Tokyo's popular Akihabara District I'm sorry I haven't been to
Japan Guys open for launch they were met with a crowd filled with customer not
one customer per store just one literal
guy uh meanwhile European retailers are already selling the card below MSRP
presumably due to low demand adding insult to injury Intel cut the price of

I wish there was a word for that it's on
the tip of my tongue replicas supplement unethical

something that must be popular among Sony's staff and probably no one else qn

cloud gaming offering perhaps to make the clouds more foam-like Chrome stars
