The PlayStation 5 is no easier to purchase now than it was nearly four months ago when Sony launched its next-gen game console. Back on Nov. 12, it sold out immediately, and that remains largely unchanged today. Currently, the PS5 is sold out in both of its configurations: the $500 model with Blu-ray and the less expensive $400 digital-only model that lacks an optical drive. Though "out of stock" is the default setting at all retailers right now, most online stores (as well as Sony itself) have restocked occasionally, releasing its cache of consoles in bursts. For the latest updates on when retailers might have inventory and offer it for sale online, be sure to check back here frequently. You can monitor where the PS5 is available on your own; Twitter, for example, is a good source of restock rumors. But we occasionally get word directly from retailers and tipsters about upcoming inventory restocks, and we update this post immediately. Be aware: It will still be months before … [Read more...] about Where to buy PS5: Retailer updates for Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart and more

Samsung’s shiny red Galaxy Chromebook 2 is now available at Best Buy
Samsung’s latest Chrome OS laptop, the Galaxy Chromebook 2, is now available for purchase at Best Buy . The Chromebook 2 was first announced at CES in January and features a new QLED display, 360-degree hinge, and a striking red paint job. It starts at $549.99 for a Celeron model and goes up to $699.99 for a Core i3 version, putting it at the higher end of Chromebooks. That price is the most significant thing about the Chromebook 2 because it’s considerably less than the Galaxy Chromebook that debuted a year ago. The older Chromebook had an 4K OLED screen and came with a stylus — neither of which you’ll fine with the new model — but it also cost just under $1,000 when it came out. In our review, we found despite the gorgeous screen and striking paint job, the original Galaxy Chromebook didn’t justify its cost, particularly thanks to abysmal battery life. Samsung Galaxy Chromebook 2 $550 Prices taken at time of publishing. The Galaxy Chromebook 2 is Samsung’s … [Read more...] about Samsung’s shiny red Galaxy Chromebook 2 is now available at Best Buy

Insiders say Google lacked the focus and discipline to run a successful game studio
In context: Part of what led to Stadia Games and Entertainment division's early demise is the underwhelming number of subscribers the platform managed to garner since November 2019. Although Google has not posted official numbers, Bloomberg quotes insiders stating Stadia missed controller sales and monthly active user count goals "by hundreds of thousands." The low adoption rates may be attributed to how the platform was marketed and released. This is arguably the biggest waste of money and resources in Google's history. Stadia broke from Google's typical "start small and build" philosophy of product development. Unlike other Google products with long beta cycles, like Gmail, it was marketed and hyped as a full service that was ready to kill off consoles. Stadia head Phil Harrison said it was "the future of gaming." Speaking with anonymous sources, including former employees of the now-defunct development house, Bloomberg and Wired uncovered some details surrounding what was … [Read more...] about Insiders say Google lacked the focus and discipline to run a successful game studio
