  • Kohl's Black Friday 2018 Early Ad Deals Include TVs, Tech, And More

    It’s nearing Thanksgiving, and that means the infamous Black Friday is right around the corner. It’s a day where a sea of people invade retail stores like White Walkers trying to get past The Wall. Kohl’s–a story primarily known as a clothing retailer–has a few deals that may be up your alley, including gaming. From TVs to a ton of smart home products and smart watches, Kohl’s giant Black Friday circular has a plethora of items available on the shopping holiday.

    Many of these deals are available online and in store, but the doorbuster deals begin online at 1:01 AM ET on Thursday, November 22 and in stores at 5 PM, locally, the same day, but check with your participating local Kohl’s store in case its hours vary. The standard Black Friday deals begin online at 1:01 AM ET on Monday, November 19 and in stores at 5 PM local time on November 22.

    While there are plenty of items discounted for the event, Kohl’s is also offering $15 Kohl’s Cash for every $50 you spend, which can be redeemed between November 24-December 5. You can save 15% more online when you use promo code CHEERFUL at checkout. Additionally, there is a barcode in the circular that has the same effect but it can only be used in stores, at checkout.

    Kohl’s isn’t offering much in the way of televisions, but it does have a couple deals. There is a 49″ LG 4K Smart TV for $330 (originally $450), and a 58″ Samsung 4K Smart TV for $550 (originally $900). Supplies will be limited for both of these doorbuster sales, so it’s first come, first served, and coupons do not apply to either of these televisions.

    If you’re looking to smarten up your house, Kohl’s has multiple products on sale, all of which are doorbusters, so you’ll have to act fast if you want them. Both the Nest Thermostat and Nest Video Doorbell will be on sale for $180 each. Kohl’s has plenty of smart speakers as well. The Amazon Echo ($70), Echo Dot ($24), and Echo Spot ($90) will all be part of the doorbuster deals.

    Check out some of the best Black Friday deals from Kohl’s below. It’s still early, and more may be added to the Black Friday list, so we’ll keep you updated if there are any changes. You can also check out our roundup of the best Black Friday gaming deals at Target.

  • New Preview Alpha Ring 1811 Update – 11/9/18

    Starting at 6:00 p.m. PDT today, members of the Xbox One Preview Alpha Ring will begin receiving a new 1811 Xbox One system update (181108-1720). Read on for more about the fixes and known issues in the latest 1811 system update.

     

    New Features:

     

    Family Settings

    • Children signing up for new accounts will now be asked to add a parent only if required to by local privacy regulations (e.g., GDPR or COPPA). This means that some minors, like teens in the U.S., will no longer have to add a parent and join a Microsoft family during signup. Xbox privacy and online safety defaults will still be applied based on age, and in order to change those, the minor would need to add a parent on Xbox who can then change their settings. Minors not in a family can add a parent anytime in Settings > Account > Family settings > Add a parent. Joining a family would also allow the parent and child to use other family features like content restrictions, screen time, activity reporting, and spending.
    • Children that are subject to local privacy regulations will still be required to add a parent during signup. While this will create a Microsoft family through which the parent can use family features like content restrictions, screen time, activity reporting, and spending, the parent will no longer be required to sign in on Xbox. If a parent wants to change their child’s Xbox privacy and online safety settings, the parent can sign in separately on Xbox and manage their family in Settings > Account > Family settings.
    • Existing child accounts are not affected by this change and will remain with their parents in their current Microsoft family.

     Mouse & Keyboard Support

    • We have enabled mouse support in this release.  Please check out the Quest in the Xbox Insider Hub to experience mouse and keyboard support in Warframe.

    Search Enhancements

    • The search function has been enhanced across the console and will now return responses from the Xbox Assist application for example to help with help, support and troubleshooting.  Please check out the Quest in the Xbox Insider Hub to help us gather feedback.

     

    Fixes:

     

    Controllers

    • Fixes to improve the controllers not syncing after taking a system update.
      • NOTE :  All users who take the update WILL have to re-pair your controller once if you encounter the bug (mainly EU countries) and then this issue is fixed.

     

    Known Issues:

     

    Audio

    • We are tracking audio issues in which some games have audio that cuts in and out
    • Audio settings reverting to a previous settings after taking an update.

     

    Profile Color

    • Sometimes users may encounter the incorrect Profile color when powering on the console.

  • What GTA 6 Can Learn From Red Dead 2

    After roughly 80 hours, I finally rolled credits on Red Dead Redemption 2, and even with lots still left to do in that world, it’s hard not to look to the future. Rockstar has done some amazing things in their rendition of the Old West, and despite some of its faults, they’ve set a new bar for themselves as a studio. From the gorgeous environments to the world’s interactivity, there are plenty of new ideas and mechanics that would be great additions to the studio’s flagship franchise — but there are few smaller lessons that we think Red Dead’s older sibling could benefit from, too. Here are 8 things that GTA 6 can learn from Red Dead 2.

  • Fallout 76 B.E.T.A. Impressions

    After 20 hours spent in the West-Virginian wasteland of Fallout 76 via the now-concluded B.E.T.A. (playing on Xbox One X, if you’re curious), I’ve been left with an overarching sense of curiosity. Mainly, I’m curious why Fallout 76 exists.

    That’s not meant to be a criticism. With so many elements working together and against one another, I wonder why this is the next Fallout game that we’re playing, as opposed to one that leans harder into the traditional story-driven single-player experience or a full-fledged multiplayer survival game set in the Fallout universe. As it stands now, Fallout 76 is neither of those things – it’s stuck in some strange Appalachian limbo between two points.

One shirt includes an image of Rudebuster Susie, and the other has a group image on the front and Lancer riding a bike on the back. The plushie is of Ralsei, and the enamel pins come in a set of four, featuring the faces of Susie, Lancer, Ralsei and Kris.
