A Tech Affair episode 240: Swiss streaming pricing policy, Captain America and "South of Midnight"
Swiss streaming prices are a rip-off - really? We have investigated this. Sony presents its new Playstation games, the new Captain America film is set to open a new Marvel chapter and there are undead southerners in "South of Midnight".
All over the world, streaming is cheaper than in Switzerland. That's the conventional wisdom. We take a deep dive into purchasing power, VAT and inflation compensation and discuss whether this impression is deceptive.
Domagoj has been following Sony's "State of Play" with excitement and tells us what Playstation owners can expect in the near future.
Meanwhile, Luca sat in the cinema and watched "Captain America: A brave new world". He will tell us whether the world is actually getting better with the film. Will Marvel manage to turn things around with its latest film, or will Deadpool remain the only superhero capable of filling the box office?
Domi has also been gaming again: "South of Midnight" has a dystopian US Southern flair and we set off in search of Hazel's mother. "Avowed", on the other hand, is game déjà vu: RPG fans from the old days are in for a treat.

I've been tinkering with digital networks ever since I found out how to activate both telephone channels on the ISDN card for greater bandwidth. As for the analogue variety, I've been doing that since I learned to talk. Though Winterthur is my adoptive home city, my heart still bleeds red and blue.
