  • MindsEye’s Big Discount: Completing Your Solving Journey!

    MindsEye’s Big Discount: Completing Your Solving Journey!

    Some people think MindsEye is a flop because of poor reviews or sabotage. It’s now one of the biggest disappointments of 2025. If you want to give it a go, the price has already dropped significantly just a month after its launch.

    This game was originally priced at $60, which seemed reasonable before its release. However, now that it’s out, many feel that $60 is too high. That’s why the price has been cut by a third to $40 at most retailers.

    MindsEye’s Price Cut

    Great News for $40 Buyers

    You can find physical copies of MindsEye for PS5 or Xbox Series X|S at stores like Amazon, Walmart, Target, and GameStop. Best Buy is still selling it for $59.99, indicating that the price drop might be a retailer decision rather than from the game’s developers, Build A Rocket Boy.

    If you’re still unsure about spending $40 on MindsEye, you could wait for more price drops. Similar games have seen their prices fall significantly after launch. For instance, Ubisoft’s Skull And Bones is another game that experienced a price cut, while Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League dropped below $10.

    On the other hand, MindsEye might become a collectors’ item in the future, even seemingly unnecessary now. Its single-player format means there’s no rush for physical copies, and retailers may be discounting to clear stock.

    It’s unfortunate that while many joke about MindsEye, the game’s poor performance could lead to job losses. Reports suggest that as many as 100 developers at Build A Rocket Boy might be laid off due to the game’s troubled launch.

  • Retailer Claims AMD RX 9070 XT Was Meant to Cost $900

    Retailer Claims AMD RX 9070 XT Was Meant to Cost $900

    AMD’s RX 9000 series remains largely under wraps, but intriguing details continue to emerge from unexpected sources. Recently, Gplay, a Bulgarian retailer, disclosed the anticipated pricing for AMD’s upcoming high-end graphics cards. Initially, it appears that AMD aimed to set the price of its new flagship model closer to the RTX 5080 rather than the RTX 5070.

    In a video discussing the forthcoming Radeon GPUs, Gplay shared insights, although, as highlighted by VideoCardz, they didn’t provide the specific details many gamers are eager to learn about—which is understandable as the GPUs haven’t officially launched yet. Nevertheless, they showcased the packaging for PowerColor’s Red Devil RX 9070 XT Limited Edition, along with some insider information.

    According to the retailer, AMD originally intended to debut the RX 9070 XT on January 23, which aligns with what we found regarding B&H’s preorder dates. The pricing details are noteworthy—reports indicate that the card was meant to launch at a staggering $900, while the RX 9070 non-XT version would be priced at $750.

    To put these figures into perspective, it’s essential to consider existing and upcoming GPUs. AMD has shared limited information, but it anticipates the RX 9070 XT will perform similarly to the RX 7900 XT. The original RX 7900 XT launched at $900, but is now available for around $650. Even if the RX 9070 XT surpasses its predecessor in performance (especially regarding ray tracing capabilities), a $250 price increase is quite steep.

    Meanwhile, Nvidia is set to release the RTX 5080 soon. Though leaked benchmarks suggest it may not outperform the RTX 4090, it’s safe to assume it will outperform the RX 9070 XT. The RTX 5080 is expected to launch at $1,000, with the RTX 5070 Ti priced at $750 and the RTX 5070 at $550. Seeing AMD’s new graphics card positioned at the higher end of that price range raises some concerns for potential buyers.

    It’s crucial to note that these prices aren’t official. Even if AMD did plan for the RX 9070 XT to carry a $900 price tag, there may never be a formal acknowledgment of that plan—unless they proceed to launch it at that price, which seems unlikely. A previous pricing leakage from early January suggested that the cards would be competitively priced between $480 and $550, indicating a significant disparity.

    Gplay is one of several retailers preparing to sell the RX 9070 XT. However, it appears AMD has postponed the rumored January 23 launch date. As shared by David McAfee, the RX 9000 series is now scheduled for a March release, potentially setting the RX 9070 XT on a challenging path against Nvidia’s offerings.
