Prime Day is almost here, but you don’t have to wait any longer to find great deals. Case in point: Both PS5 Slim models have dropped by $50, so if you’ve been holding off on making the leap to a current-gen console (and the PS5 Pro is probably a little too expensive), this is for you. A solid discount worth considering. The digital edition (without the disc drive) has been reduced to $400, while the regular edition can be purchased for $450.The PS5 Slim variant has all the power of the original PS5 unit, but in a slimmer form factor.…
Most comic book fans have a solid idea about what they’re going to buy every week as they descend upon their local comic shop. With that said, there’s still a lot of fun to be had just glancing at the week’s new releases and taking a chance on a book that looks promising, funny, scary, etc. That’s where covers come in. A fantastic image can make the difference between trying something new or saying, “Nah, not this week.”In that spirit, here are the covers that captured our attention this week, with entries from comics editor Chris Coplan. This is Judging…
When you think of Brian Michael Bendis, you probably don’t think of horror. That’s absolutely true. You may never even think about crime noir anymore. Even though his great work on Jinx and Torso really led him to dance. Or perhaps Powers has shown he can transcend genres. These days, his superhero work may stick in your head more. Co-created by Miles Morales, Lili Williams, and Jessica Jones, the pages are filled with seemingly back-and-forth conversations. He brings a storytelling style to comics influenced by writers like David Mamet and Aaron Sorkin, with a focus on dialogue and often interjected…
There’s nothing better than finding a killer sale on a great product. Here are October’s Prime Day deals that tick almost all the boxes. Sony’s WH-1000XM4 headphones retail for $130, which is a new record low. It often sells for $348, and its lowest price in the past was $198.These aren’t the best Sony headphones on the market. The XM5 is now at the top of the mountain (overall our favorite noise canceling headphones). But the XM4 is still a great set of cans, especially at this bargain price.sonySony’s excellent noise-cancelling headphones, the WH-1000XM4, have dropped to their lowest price…
Jeff Lemire’s return to DC Comics and taking on the Justice Society of America (JSA) for DC’s “All In” initiative is an exciting moment for fans. He brings a deep love of DC’s historical roots and is eager to inject that into this new series. In a recent conversation with AIPT Comics, Lemire shared insight into what makes JSA special, how this project came to fruition, and what readers can expect from future storylines. I did.Lemire begins by reflecting on his time at DC Comics during the New 52 era, when the JSA’s legacy was sidelined.“The DC Universe was very…
Prime Day in October is approaching and we are seeing a decline in new transactions in the final hours before it. One of the latest deals is the M2-powered MacBook Air laptop, available now for $749. That’s a $250 discount, a new record low for a machine considered to be the most affordable MacBook in Apple’s laptop lineup.In our initial M2 MacBook Air review, we were impressed with the laptop’s thin design, gorgeous 13.6-inch display, excellent quad-speaker setup, and the M2 chip’s impressive performance. Previously our top pick for the best MacBook, the new M3 model steals the top spot.…

At yesterday’s Halo World Championships, developer 343 Industries announced that it is officially changing its name to Halo Studios. The company also revealed that it has multiple new games in the pipeline and will switch all future Halo development from its own Slipspace Engine to Unreal Engine 5.In a YouTube video (below), the new studio showcased elements of its “Project Foundry” Unreal Engine research effort, which has been ongoing for the past few years. It’s just a tech demo for now, but it shows Elite designs for Master Chief and the Covenant, as well as three biomes, including a cascade-type…
A lot of people started to care about “high resolution” digital audio when Apple launched its upgraded music service to the masses. Call that the “Apple effect,” as infuriating as it may be, but the iPhone maker isn’t the only one in the hi-res audio game: Qobuz, Tidal and Deezer have been doing it for a while, and Spotify has been toying with releasing its own version for a while. However, as many were quick to point out, some of Apple’s own products don’t necessarily support the higher sample rate and bit-depths on offer. No worries, there’s a dongle for…
