Microsoft is offering its latest Xbox One X console at its lowest price point ever for Black Friday. The software maker is taking $100 off the Xbox One X, bringing it down to $399.99 during the Black Friday period. Microsoft’s deal will be available at a variety of retailers, but the company warns it’s a limited offer between November 18th and 26th.
Alongside the Xbox One X discount, there’s also $100 off the Xbox One S Minecraft bundle, and a $70 discount on other bundles that include games like Forza Horizon 4. Microsoft is also offering big discounts on games for the Xbox One, including 50 percent off Forza Motorsport 7 and Sea of Thieves, and 35 percent off a number of other first party titles. These deals will be available between...
Microsoft announced Xbox One keyboard and mouse support back in September, and it’s now arriving on consoles next week. Starting November 14th, Xbox One will support keyboard and mouse in 14 games.
Fortnite and Warframe are the biggest names to offer the support at launch, alongside a variety of mainly indie titles. While there are 14 confirmed games, only seven of them will be available during the initial launch of the keyboard and mouse feature. The rest are coming soon.
It’s up to developers to implement keyboard and mouse support in Xbox...
Microsoft is revealing a new Crackdown 3 release date today. The open-world crimefighting game has been delayed multiple times, and was originally supposed to arrive on November 7th, 2017. Microsoft pushed that release date to the second or third quarter of 2018 before revealing earlier this year that Crackdown 3 would appear in February 2019. It’s now set for a February 15th release date.
A lot of that extra time has been spent improving the game’s visuals, and to ensure it’s a better quality game all round. The original Crackdown was an expansive shooter with a mechanic that saw players hunting orbs to progress and upgrade their skills. Crackdown didn’t push players into a rigid set of quests to complete, instead you could complete any...
Microsoft is adding Player Unknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) to the company’s Xbox Game Pass subscription on November 12th. The addition means Xbox One users who subscribe to Xbox Game Pass for $9.99 will now be able to access PUBG, alongside more than 100 others.
Microsoft’s move to add PUBG to Xbox Game Pass comes just as rumors suggest the game is about to launch on Sony’s PlayStation 4 in December. Microsoft appears to have paid for a year of exclusivity on the Xbox One for PUBG, but a move to PS4 opens the game up to millions more as it continues to battle with the popularity of rival Fortnite.
Microsoft has been consistently pushing Xbox Game Pass, just as the company is exploring game streaming with its xCloud service. It’s clearly...
Aerospace startup Rocket Lab will try again this weekend to launch its first commercial mission to space, a flight the company has dubbed “It’s Business Time.” The small satellite launcher is aiming to send up seven tiny probes into low Earth orbit on its Electron rocket. If successful, the flight will officially kick off commercial operations for the company, which has only pulled off two test flights so far.
Rocket Lab has had a hard time getting “It’s Business Time” up in the air, though. The company, which launches out of a private site in New Zealand, has tried multiple times to fly this particular mission, but had to stand down after noticing some weird behavior with one of the rocket’s motor controllers. After implementing a few...
Electric scooter company Lime is recalling an unspecified number of its vehicles after reports that they might break apart after “repeated abuse,” according to The Washington Post. The recall comes weeks after the company recalled some of its Segway Ninebot scooters after concerns over battery fires.
The Washington Post says that scooters manufactured by Chinese company Okai could break while in use, and that Lime will recall them from every city that they’re deployed in. Lime says that those models will be decommissioned, but did not tell the Post how many units are affected, or in which cities they’re being used in. The recall follows Lime’s disclosure about the Segway Ninebot models, in which the company notified users of issues with...
This election season, the state of West Virginia implemented a blockchain-based voting app for the first time. The app, created by a company called Voatz, was first tested in two counties during the primaries earlier this year. After a successful test, it was used during the midterm election this past week at a wider scale. StateScoop reported that as few as 13 people used the app to vote in county primaries, a number that grew to nearly 150 people voting from 24 out of the 55 counties in the general midterm. A majority of these voters are currently deployed military members or Peace Corps volunteers.
The process for placing the ballot is simple but lengthy. The Voatz app is available for download for anyone on Apple’s App Store or the...
The Deuce wrapped up its second season last weekend, and I didn’t think I’d be saying this... but I kind of wish HBO hadn’t decided to cut it off after season three. When the final season was initially announced, I didn’t mind: the show had failed to evolve its characters, while just meandering through their life and times, and it had gotten pretty frustrating.
But by the end of season two, things finally started changing — and it’s been great. Characters are breaking down, getting thrown into new situations, and constantly looking over their shoulders. It’s something the show certainly could have gotten to earlier, but I’m still loving it now that it’s here.
Check out 11 trailers from this week below.

Alibaba’s Singles Day is a huge international shopping event that originated in China and has now spread across the globe. Deals kicked off on November 6th, and shoppers everywhere from the US and UK to China and Indonesia are able to nab some good deals.
Many analysts, including App Annie and Adobe, predict that Singles Day will sell more than Black Friday and Cyber Monday combined, based off of last year’s numbers. App Annie put the figure at over $32 billion, while Adobe is estimating $23.4 billion in sales.
Still, the holiday isn’t widely known here in the US. And for newcomers, it might not be clear how to get started grabbing deals. Here’s a quick tutorial on what you’ll need to know.
The holiday, which is believed to have been...
DCEU movies have a reputation for being self-serious, high-stakes works that value outsized conflicts over fun little adventures, and with the exception of the heavily edited Justice League and the relatively laid-back Suicide Squad, this approach is reflected in each release’s beefy runtime. It’s a trend that Aquaman looks set to continue, with a new report suggesting that James Wan’s film will play for a hefty 143 minutes.
The source for this news is a document from distributor Vertical Entertainment that’s been making the rounds, and if this apparent confirmation is the real thing, then we’re looking at a runtime that fits right in with the previous entries in the franchise. At 143 minutes, Aquaman’s length would be equal to that of Man of Steel and a little longer than Wonder Woman (141 minutes), though not quite as bulky as the theatrical cut of Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice (151 minutes). Trailing behind the rest are Suicide Squad (123 minutes) and Justice League (119 minutes).
Despite the backlash received by the film’s 5-minute trailer, it looks like this Jason Momoa-led flick should have plenty of spoilers saved for it release. And whatever Aquaman has in store for audiences, it seemed to go down very well with the pic’s first viewers, with several social media users praising the work as the DCEU’s best entry to date. So despite the less-than-dazzling opening weekend predicted for the film a couple of weeks ago, Momoa and Wan may still be able to follow through with their sequel plans after all.
In any case, we’ll find out if audiences think that Aquaman is worth 143 minutes of their time (or however long it ends up being) when the movie hits theaters on December 21st.
