Valve’s Index remains one of the very best PC VR headsets for playing games like Half-Life Alyx, Beat Saber or Star Trek: Bridge Crew, but it does cost a fair amount – $999 for the full kit in the US, for example. However, it is possible to get used/refurbished models for much cheaper, including at GameStop where you can now pick up the full kit for just $599, a solid $400 off the usual price.
A few days back, we spotted a 16GB Corsair Vengeance RAM kit at a low £36 – and today the bottom has dropped out even further with a deal on Adata’s XPG Gammix D10 RAM, where a 16GB DDR4-3200 CL16 kit costs just £29.99 plus £1.50 shipping at Ebuyer, versus their previous price of £38.
Microsoft has done a great job making some truly inventive special edition Xbox Series controllers, and their latest effort is one that uses the ‘NASA-punk’ aesthetics of upcoming big budget Bethesda RPG Starfield. The controller looks phenomenal, but it does cost a fair bit – so I thought it was worth letting you know that the early adopter tax has been lifted, and the controller is now down to £65.
That’s still fairly expensive, but given that this controller seems destined to sell out – as it has done in the US – then I thought it was worth bringing up regardless.
The world of Diablo 4 is full of misery and sadness. There are flayed corpses everywhere, fathers are haunted by the ghosts of their dead sons, blokes cram flaming eyeballs into their skulls and sometimes a guy turns up at random just to stomp you (and a lot of other people) into fleshy jam on the ground.
Science-fantasy RPG Star Ocean: The Second Story is back with a remake that gives the ‘90s PlayStation game a gorgeous lick of 2.5D paint and its first-ever outing on PC.
Samsung’s 980 SSD is the company’s latest mainstream offering, combining PCIe 3.0 speeds with a DRAM-less design and TLC NAND. That makes it a cheaper alternative to their PCIe 4.0 drives with DRAM, but still more than fast enough for PC gaming. Therefore, it’s worth knowing that the 1TB 980 is now available for less than £40 at Amazon, a £16 reduction from its usual price and less than half the cost it debuted at back in 2021.
Prime Gaming is giving away four extra games in June and July to celebrate Prime Day 2023, on top of the June freebies already announced. Prey (2017) is already available to claim on GOG, and the next three games will drop weekly.
Roblox is launching new regulation in order to allow creators to make content specifically for users aged 17 and above. From what Manuel Bronstein, Roblox’s Chief Product Officer, shared in an official blog post yesterday, it seems that it’ll be on creators to label their experiences as mature, which “may contain more violence, blood, or crude humour” than usual experiences.
The introduction of age appropriate access is not for safety primarily, as Roblox say they want to “simulate and even go beyond what’s possible in the real world”. Bronstein also added that, “We want to replicate that dynamic on Roblox,” referring to the idea of getting older and legally being allowed to enter places such as nightclubs.
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: the RTX 4060 Ti just came out but you should probably buy the RTX 3060 Ti instead. It’s around 85 to 90 percent of the performance at less than 70 percent of the cost – although you do give up better power efficiency and DLSS 3 on the newer model.
We’ve highlighted a few UK RTX 3060 Ti deals before, but here’s one for the US market courtesy of Best Buy – on a PNY unit with a simple dual-fan design, plenty of cooling potential and a price that makes a lot of sense: $275, down from a previous price of $320 and considerably less than the $399 Nvidia is asking for their 4060 Ti FE.
Dota 2 is moving away from releasing new content via a pattle pass in favour of more varied and regular updates. Valve explained the change on the Dota 2 blog, saying that the heavy focus on the Compendium – the Battle Pass released alongside Dota 2’s yearly esports event, The International – was leaving “the rest of the year feeling barren by comparison.”
