HHW Gaming: EA Sports Announces It Will Remove Jon Gruden From ‘Madden NFL 22’
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Ethan Miller / Getty Any scent of Jon Gruden is being scrubbed away, even virtually.

HHW Gaming: Sony Launches New Registration Website To Help You Get A PS5 Before Christmas
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: SOPA Images / Getty Could Sony’s latest move help you get that highly elusive PS5? It’s no secret. It’s STILL incredibly challenging trying to purchase a PS5 and other consoles and graphic cards due to strains on the supply chain and chip shortages. Ahead of the upcoming holiday season, Sony hopes it can be more like Santa instead of Scrooge and get its next-gen console in the homes of gamers in the United States with the launch of a new registration website.

Still, Sony is increasing your chances a bit by allowing customers to register in hopes of being selected to get an invitation to cop its next-gen console, which the company admits only having a “limited amount.” To signup, you must have a PlayStation...
HHW Gaming: The Nintendo Switch OLED Is The New Console Jig, Gamers React To It Selling Out Immediately
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Nintendo / Nintendo Switch (OLED model) Move over PS5 and Xbox Series X. The Nintendo Switch OLED is the newest hard-to-find gaming console. Despite being met with mixed reviews because it was not the “Pro Model” Nintendo fanboys were hoping for, the company that gave us Mario has another hit on their hands with the Nintendo Switch OLED model. The new OLED Model doesn’t set itself apart from the first Nintendo Switch Console but does offer a new vibrant 7-inch OLED screen with vivid colors and crisp contrast, a better kickstand, and a LAN port. The Nintendo Switch OLED arrived alongside the new Metroid: Dread game, and it immediately sold out. Like the PS5 and Xbox Series X consoles, the search to find one of Nintendo’s latest hybrid consoles has qu...

HHW Gaming: Head of Xbox Says Xbox Series X Jig Will Last Well Into 2022
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz83 We hate to break this news to you gamers, but the struggle to get your hands on Xbox Series X isn’t coming to an end any time soon. In an interview with The Wrap, Xbox chief Phil Spencer shared the bad news that Xbox Series X shortages will continue throughout 2021 and well into 2022 because of current supply chain issues that are not only due to the ongoing chip shortage. “I think it’s probably too isolated to talk about it as just a chip problem,” Spencer said. “When I think about, what does it mean to get the parts necessary to build a console today, and then get it to the markets where the demand is, there are multiple kind of pinch points in that process. And I think regretfully it’s going to be with us for months an...
