  • Sony Europe's New PS4 Commercial Shows What You Can Do

    Double life.

    Sony’s launched a new commercial in Europe which builds on the idea that you can be anyone and do virtually anything when you’re playing on the PlayStation 4. The campaign, which is titled ‘This Could Be You’, shows ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances – all of which are linked to some of the year’s biggest games, such as Red Dead Redemption 2 and Call of Duty: Black Ops 4.

    It’s a pretty vanilla commercial really, but we suppose it safely gets the platform holder’s message across. Would this convince you to buy a PS4 if you didn’t own one already? Let us know in the comments section below.

That’s pretty crazy. We won’t tell you everything here, but the video’s worth a quick watch if you’re interested in stats like this.

  • These PS4 and PS4 Pro deals are even cheaper than Black Friday – but hurry, they end today

    Black Friday and Cyber Monday let us down a bit to be honest. Sure the PS4 deals were cheaper than they’ve been in recent months especially after a fairly miserly summer from the retailers. But we were far from blown away.

    But out of nowhere, there’s a new 15% off coupon you can use on a huge range of brand new items at eBay from a range of reliable retailers on their eBay outlets. And it’s all possible thanks to the eBay voucher code ‘PRESENTS’ which you can use at the checkout – there’s a minimum spend of £20 and a maximum discount of £50. 

    So we’ve been able to take some serious weight off a multitude of gaming offers. We’ve already shown you how to use it on cheap Xbox One deals and Nintendo Switch deals but you’ll find our PS4 deal highlights below on the PS4 Slim, PS4 Pro and DualShock 4 controllers. We’ve added a broader range of categories below where you can also use the voucher at checkout. Don’t forget though, this code expires at 23:59 tonight – if stock lasts that long that is!

    And you might be tempted to check out the remaining Cyber Monday deals that are still going. Want more options, then check out our roundups of the best Nintendo Switch deals and PS4 deals.

    It can be a bit of a nightmare chasing Nintendo Switch deals around Black Friday, as the deals come in thick and fast while the best ones selling out early on. But there’s no need to worry if you didn’t find one over the weekend or on Cyber Monday, as we’ve found some super cheap deals on brand new consoles from reputable stores on eBay.

    Actually, the prices are even better than we saw at the weekend, but you’ll have to be quick as the coupon code that produces the magic prices expires at 23:59 tonight. 

    The promotional eBay voucher code knocks 15% off a huge range of items, with a minimum spend of £20 and a maximum discount of £50. We’ve been able to do some proper damage to Nintendo Switch prices on the highlighted deals below. We’ve included a longer list of other applicable categories you may want to use the voucher on elsewhere around eBay too at the bottom of this page. Not after a Switch? We’ve found some cracking discounts on PS4 prices and Xbox One bundles too.

  • Fallout 76 refund policy could land Bethesda in hot water

    Fallout 76 refund policy could land Bethesda in hot water

    Fallout 76 has had a… rocky launch, to say the least.

    Bethesda’s spin-off entry takes the bestselling Fallout franchise into the world of online cooperative multiplayer. Whether or not you think it was a worthwhile venture may be up to you, though limp sales and pretty immediate price-drops suggest Bethesda’s online gamble isn’t paying off.

    To add salt to the wound, there are a growing number of players seeking refunds for the game’s consistent glitches and bugs.

    Launch day patches are becoming the norm with AAA releases, though Fallout 76’s 47GB download file is a huge amount of data to thrust on players’ hard drives, and certainly didn’t fix all the issues players are having: controls being disabled, enemies glitching out of view, or being dropped from the server entirely.

    According to GameSpot, US law firm Migliaccio & Rathod is in the early days of preparing to take legal action against Bethesda, on behalf of players who haven’t received a refund as requested for what the firm calls an “unplayable experience”.

    While it’s relatively easy to refund games on Steam, Fallout 76 (PC version) was released through the Bethesda.net website, whose official refund policy seems to exclude everything but unopened games. Some players seem to be getting their cash back after contacting the publisher (see this thread on Reddit), but there are enough who aren’t for a legal case to be possible.

    Fallout 76

    Radioactive bugs

    Single-player Fallout games are infamous for their recognizable bugs and glitches, usually seeing Wasteland enemies warping in and out of view, or NPCs hovering in mid-air above the furniture. 

    Online play, however, can be a lot more demanding for a game engine – and cause more problems for players. Online play requires low latency and seamless synchronisation between different consoles; if anyone is bugging out mid-battle it sortof ruins the fun for everyone.

    Of course, these things often turn around: the likes of No Man’s Sky and Bethesda’s Elder Scrolls Online were maligned at launch, but managed to hold onto a player base through regular updates and fixes to improve the experience on offer.

  • The best Xbox One X prices, bundles and sales in Australia (December 2018)

    UPDATE: Not only is our top deal one of the best Xbox One X bundles we’ve ever seen as far as price is concerned, with 3 Battlefield games included, it also comes with a download code for Gears of War 4. Get it while it’s hot! Want the console on its own? Well, we have an unbeatable deal for that, too!

    At E3 2017, Microsoft officially unveiled what was formerly known as Project Scorpio — the Xbox One X. This is the full 4K HDR upgrade from Microsoft that fans of the original Xbox One consoles have been waiting for, not to mention newcomers to the platform.

    This is the place where we answer any questions you may have about what exactly the new Xbox One X is capable of – its specs, price, and release date have all been covered here – and ultimately, whether or not you should buy it.

    Often, the best place to order your console is from the Microsoft store directly for $649, as most retailers are offering it for that same RRP, but aren’t likely to have as much stock as the company’s own store.

    We’ll also be keeping track of any deals and bundles that pop up, so be sure to come back and visit every now and then if you’re waiting for a bargain — we’re sure to have one if there is one to be had. 

    And, of course, if you’re wondering what to play on this new beast, we’ve had a thorough look at the best Xbox One X games available, and which ones will really shine with Microsoft’s latest powerhouse.

    The best Xbox One X bundles:

    The latest Xbox One X deals:

    Here’s our list of the best Xbox One X prices and deals out at the moment, updated live.

    Why should I buy an Xbox One X?

    While not technically a ‘next-gen’ console, the Xbox One X is still a powerful upgrade over the current Xbox One lineup. To simplify things, it’s more aligned with Sony’s PS4 Pro than it is anything else. The target audience of both consoles are gamers with a 4K HDR TV who want to squeeze the best graphical performance possible out of their favoured console. For those gamers without a 4K TV, there will be modest performance boosts although it’s likely not worth the upgrade if you don’t have a 4K HDR TV.

    We’re told that the Xbox One X won’t necessarily have any exclusive games released for it, and as far as we know all Xbox One titles will still work with it, so exclusivity and compatbility and reason enough alone to ditch your Xbox One S.

    The Xbox One X is making bold claims about true native 4K gaming though with its upcoming titles and if you have a 4K TV with High Dynamic Range (HDR) technology, the Xbox One X is ready to seriously impress with the likes of Forza Motorsport 7, Metro: Exodus and Anthem set to be true jaw-droppers in the graphics department.

    What is the Xbox One X price?

    Although it’s steep, the price conversion from the US didn’t hit us nearly as hard as it normally would. The Xbox One X will cost $649 in Australia while the US will pay $499. 

    Where can I order an Xbox One X?

    As is to be expected, all the usual suspects in the gaming retail business have the console in stock, although each and every one is offering the new Xbox One X for the same price.

    With that in mind, you may as well order your console from The Microsoft Store for $649 as there’s a better chance they’ll have a bigger stock allocation, given it’s the company’s own store.

    What if I don’t care about 4K or want to save money?

    Well, the good news is that the standard Xbox One S is a fantastic games console and you’ll likely be able to get one with a few games for less than $300 over at our Xbox One deals page.
