  RAMaggedon is real! The current console gaming industry is scary — it’s on the edge of real trouble. AI companies and data centers are vacuuming up so much RAM and high-bandwidth memory that Xbox and PlayStation are getting crushed on costs, prices, and sales. Key facts right now (mid-2026): - AI data centers are projected to consume roughly 70% of the world’s memory chip production this year (IDC / Wall Street Journal reports). The three big memory makers (Samsung, SK Hynix, Micron) have shifted capacity heavily toward High-Bandwidth Memory (HBM) for AI accelerators because those customers pay far more. - Console memory and storage costs have already jumped more than 2.5×. Microsoft expects them to roughly double again by fall 2027. - Xbox price hikes: Microsoft just announced another round (effective August) — $100–$150 increases. Series S 512GB goes to $499, 1TB to $599; Series X 1TB models hit $750–$800. This is the third major hike in a little over a year. Consoles are now 30–40% more expensive than a year ago. - PlayStation price hikes: Sony already raised PS5 prices by as much as $150 earlier in 2026 (standard models around $650, Pro near $900). - Sales collapse: In May 2026 (U.S. Circana data), PS5 unit sales dropped 58% year-over-year — lowest May total in 25 years. Xbox Series hardware recorded its worst May on record. Average price paid for a new console hit $502 (up 14% from last year). - Next-gen hardware is in limbo: Reports indicate Sony is considering delaying the PS6 successor as far as 2028 or even 2029 because of the memory costs. Analysts warn the next Xbox/PS could launch at $900–$1,200 if the crunch continues. Overall console shipments are forecast to fall ~19.5% in 2026. The old console model — subsidized hardware while making money on games/services — is breaking because the same silicon that used to get cheaper over a generation is now being bid up by AI hyperscalers who can pay almost any price. Microsoft is on both sides of this, with their huge AI data-center spender and being the Xbox maker, which only makes the conflict more obvious… and I can tell you Xbox is losing in this internal battle, big time! Gamers are already feeling it in higher prices, lower sales volume, longer current-gen life cycles, and uncertainty about when (or at what price) the next boxes arrive. Console games are expected to hit $100 and that’s not even a physical game either. RAMaggedon is real, and consoles are one of the biggest casualties so far. The thumbnail of this post was made with AI. It took less than a minute and looked better than most manual edits. Some people will call it “AI slop.” Those are the same people with their heads buried in the sand while the rest of the world adapts. Call them what they are: digital Luddites — proudly getting left behind. But this is the real problem (not the Luddites). AI is pretty amazing to use. It’s a massive time-saver and can achieve results that only a handful of big movie / gaming studios could previously afford. Now every home computer owner has the power to create — because of AI. I’ve seen comments on X saying the AI bubble will burst just like the video game crash of the 1980s or the .com bubble of the early 2000s. Realistically, that’s not going to happen this time. We have to accept that. So where does this leave console gaming? It’s not dead yet, but it will be very soon. Which is really sad. There has been a massive shift to GeForce NOW — NVIDIA’s cloud gaming service — which now has over 30 million users streaming PC games from NVIDIA’s servers. Is this the direction gaming is heading? I must admit, even though I’ve owned PlayStations (the PS2 is still the best PlayStation in my opinion) and Xboxes, the Xbox Series One S was the peak for me because it has a Blu-ray player. Our household (still uses 3 of them) likes playing physical games and movies, and that lets the whole family do exactly that. Personally though, I’ve already made the move 100% back to my Commodore 64 and Amiga. The combined game library is probably 30,000+ titles. The gameplay is often superior to many new games, and the fun level? Yeah, that’s usually higher too. Time Extension (February 2025): “14 Percent Of North Americans Still Play Gaming Systems Released Before 2000.” That works out to roughly 26–35 million people, depending on the exact population figure used. Let's take a step further, that’s an estimated 80–120 million people worldwide who have moved to retro gaming. That number will surely double as the console RAMaggedon escalates. For Commodore fans we have options: original hardware on eBay (or in your attic), TheC64 from Retro Games Ltd, the Commodore 64 Ultimate from the newly formed Commodore Corporation (and it’s pretty amazing), and the upcoming TheA1200 from RGL later this year. The cost is lower and there are games still being made for Commodore 64 and Amiga 40 years later. It is a vibrant and exciting time to be a retrogamer and the appeal will continue to grow. Have you made the move yet?

  @ShawnaStaffReal At least the Avalanche uses the 4L60E transmission which are very easy to rebuild. My Astro van had a ball bearing in the valve body separator plate get stuck, causing my 3-4 clutch back to burn up. A $10 kit off eBay to fix this issue means that once my transmission is rebuild, it will never have this kind of problem again. I'm aiming to finish the rebuild when I get back to the cabin. It's a super common issue.

  THE HOLDCO PROBLEM Ryan Cohen has given us enough to understand the structure of the deal that is being proposed. But nobody is actually trying to sketch it out, so I guess I will do it here. Let’s start with the Capital Stack: Confirmed: - $56 billion dollar bid for $125/share (cash + equity) - 2.5B share auth - 20B holdco credit line - 9.8% of eBay - 59M GMEWS Unconfirmed - and this is KEY: - 500 million personal commitment from Ryan Cohen - SWF So let me pull in the most apt recent comparison. EA just got taken private for 55B. How was the capital stack structured for that? - 20B debt (JP Morgan) - 36B Private equity (SWF + PE) I think its very interesting how the financing has really setup a structure here that shows something similar being assembled. Key fact: Ryan Cohen said himself that both GME and eBay will not be changing their names. That single statement breaks the entire thesis open. That means: - GameStop -> operating sub (retail + digital commerce) - $EBAY inc -> operating sub (marketplace + payments) And both of these would need to sit under another shell. Which is most likely Teddy. Now some people will argue this could just be $GME doing a merger sub and the regular process. IMO, this is a very shilly statement. For you to believe that a holdco isn’t coming, and that Teddy is not coming, and that $GME is doing a regular merger, then you can’t really explain the SWF hint in the WSJ letter or how Ryan Cohen is putting $500 million of his own money in. Think about it. A sovereign wealth fund is not buying GameStop shares on the open market to fund a $55 billion acquisition. That doesn’t happen. PIF didn’t buy EA shares - they formed a consortium and built a vehicle above EA. Silver Lake didn’t invest through EA’s existing cap table. They built a structure with governance rights, liquidation preferences, board seats, and tax optimization that suited their institutional mandates. That’s what a holdco is for. It’s where the SWF money goes. It’s where Cohen’s $500M sits in an SPV alongside them with clearly defined economics. It’s where the $20B in debt gets isolated. And it’s where GameStop and eBay sit underneath as operating subs with their names intact, exactly like Cohen said. If you can’t answer where the outside capital sits in a merger sub structure, then the merger sub doesn’t work. THE WARRANT QUESTION Now here’s where it gets really interesting. GameStop has 59.15M warrants outstanding. $32 strike. October 30, 2026 expiry. GME is trading at ~$22. The warrants are over $10 out of the money with 91 days left. Under normal circumstances, nobody exercises these. They expire worthless. End of story. But Cohen is assembling a $55B acquisition. And every M&A lawyer, every lender, every proxy advisor involved in this deal is going to ask one question: What are you doing with the warrants? You can’t leave 59M warrants sitting ambiguous on a subsidiary’s cap table while you’re restructuring the entire corporate entity above it. The fully diluted share count matters for exchange ratios, financing commitment letters, proxy recommendations, antidilution provisions everything. So what are the options? Option 1: Let them expire worthless. Throwing away ~$1.9B in potential capital and discarding 59M units of committed-holder identification. NOT HAPPENING. Option 2: Reprice/Extend the warrants. This looks desperate in the face of a hostile bid, faces legal challenge, and dilutes at a worse price. Option 3: Hope GME runs above $32 before October 30. That’s a 46% move in 91 days. Option 4: Exchange the warrants into Teddy equity. This is the one that makes sense to me. Offer warrant holders the ability to tender their GMEWS warrants in exchange for shares or units in Teddy Holdings - at a conversion ratio (7-4-1?) based on the combined entity’s economics, not GME’s stock price. The warrant stops being a $32 call on GameStop. It becomes a participation right in the parent company that owns both GameStop and eBay. The warrants were not designed to be exercised at $32 with the stock at $22. They were designed to be exchanged. The $32 strike gave them enough economic substance to be distributed as a dividend and listed on NYSE. The real function was always to create a trackable, transferable security that identifies who the committed capital base is - the people who held through the entire process. Your warrants aren’t a call option. They’re an allocation ticket into Teddy. THE PLUMBING Yesterday, the OCC dropped Info Memo #59491. Read it carefully. "Effective July 30, 2026, the National Securities Clearing Corporation will no longer accept GMEWS warrants for settlement. The GMEWS component of GME1 exercise and assignment activity is now subject to broker-to-broker settlement." And then this line: "It is unknown if and when GMEWS warrants will be eligible for settlement through NSCC again." Let that sit for a second. NSCC - the entity that clears and settles virtually every equity transaction in the United States - just said they will not handle GMEWS anymore. If this were routine end-of-life housekeeping for a dying instrument, the memo would say "until expiry on October 30, 2026." It doesn't. It says "unknown if and when." That's open-ended language for an instrument with A KNOWN EXPIRATION DATE. Why would it be unknown unless the instrument might become something else before it expires? Here's what the memo operationally requires: - Settlement of the warrant component now happens broker-to-broker, outside NSCC's central clearing guarantee. - If a delivering Clearing Member can't deliver GMEWS warrants on settlement date, both sides' obligations are delayed until OCC designates a new settlement date, method, and/or settlement value. - A senior officer of the delivering Clearing Member must represent IN WRITING that delivery is not possible. - If delivery still can't be effected, OCC may force cash settlement or a buy-in. - All GME1 activity gets reported on a SEPARATE Broker-to-Broker Delivery Advice, not the regular Delivery Advice. - OCC will continue to margin GME1 exercise/assignment activity until settlement is accomplished. This is not how you wind down a worthless warrant. This is an extraordinary amount of procedural infrastructure for a security trading $10 below its strike with 91 days to live. Written officer attestations? Separate delivery reports? Cash settlement alternatives? You don't build that for something you're letting die. You build it when the security is about to undergo a corporate action that changes what it represents. All of this indicates that $GME is about to file the Tender Offer extremely soon, and it looks like the HoldCo is ready to be revealed. I am expecting monday. See you there!

  I was just thinking about this today. If you take a 5-10 year horizon, where would you want to put your money? - Vintage? I think it's risky. I'll go so far as to say even big names like Hank Aaron and Willie Mays will start to fade. - Definitely not ultra-modern. Don't chase the new "color blast" or whatever every year. Wouldn't touch Topps Dynasty, which seems to be popular. - GOAT market is at all time highs and feels frothy to me. ------------- For me the play is simple, buy cool cards! People want unique cards (no base, no random parallels, but also no "case hits"). I'm talking image variations, autos (on-card), the kind of cards where you pull up eBay and you can't find any available. -------------- Cash might be the play. Take a little risk off the table and be ready to come back when (IF) things calm down. Sealed wax is a play if you can keep it sealed and know how to sell it (not for me). I do think the 2005-2015ish era is a little undervalued. A lot of big cards in that era that are entering HOF eligibility.

  Huge corporations despise small resellers like me. MegaCorps want to control their products forever. But legally, they can't. Here's why, and here's how you protect yourself against the army of lawyers they employ. Liquidation, store returns, and overstock products with their brand name drive these companies insane. And they want to stop you from selling them. How can you protect yourself from MegaCorp threats? By learning and using the Doctrine of First Sale. Here’s a quick rundown of what the DFS is and why you need to understand it. First – bookmark this post so you can refer back to it when eBay or Amazon shuts down your account due to a complaint, or you get a cease-and-desist letter from a MegaCorp. If you’re in this business long enough, it will happen to you. The official definition of the Doctrine of First Sale: The Doctrine of First Sale allows the purchaser of a legally obtained copyrighted work to resell, lend, or give away that specific item without the copyright holder's permission, limiting the copyright holder's control over subsequent distributions of that particular copy. The Shannon Definition of the Doctrine of First Sale: I bought it, I own it, and I can do whatever the hell I want with it. Leave me alone, MegaCorp! The DFS applies to every product sold, whether it’s a book, a piece of software, a designer handbag, or a refrigerator. If you bought it, you can do what you want with it. It doesn’t matter if you bought one or 500. They are all protected under the DFS. MegaCorps use a few tactics to try and intimidate you from reselling their products: VeRO complaints – these are complaints to marketplaces like eBay, Poshmark, or Amazon – the MegaCorp claims include: You are not “authorized” to sell their product. The product you are selling is not authentic The product details are a copyright violation. Here’s how to protect yourself from these claims: Always get a receipt. You need a clear invoice that shows the transfer of ownership. You’ll have to get comfortable sharing this with marketplaces if you want to stop VeRO claims. Ensure you are selling authentic products. Reliable suppliers are critical to be sure you are not buying counterfeit inventory. Never copy/paste product information from a MegaCorp website into your product listing. This is the fastest way to get your listing removed. Write your own descriptions. Be very clear in your listing that you are not associated with MegaCorp in any way. MegaCorps also like to send “Cease and Desist” letters to get you to stop selling their products. You need to respond to these Cease and Desist demand letters in a timely and confident manner. If you would like a template for responding to VeRO complaints and Cease and Desist letters for your future use, comment below with the phrase SCUMBAG LAWYER and I will send you a link. Be sure you are following me @ShannonJean so I can DM you. The Doctrine of First Sale is your shield against powerful MegaCorps that want to infringe on your Right to Resale! Want to learn more? Give me a follow @ShannonJean as I share unconventional methods to build wealth. We have to look out for each other against the MegaCorps.

Something that’s been attacked for years and has hundreds of people looking for issues every day Something popular enough that it will receive support even after the company behind it goes out of business In security, the safest road is the one that most people are taking.
