BBR 03/10/2023: Accidentally Bought a PSVR 2
Boss Barrel Radio
A podcast full of idiots is our new slogan. Jamie is satisfied with his PSVR 2 pickup and so is Sony. Griff opposes Sony’s continued dalliance with VR and just wants them to fight Microsoft again.

Let's all agree to not talk about The Last of Us any more and continue to talk more about fecal...
