Every tier of Netflix is getting more expensive moving forward. It’ll now cost you an extra $1 to stream One Piece‘s second season with ads and an extra $2 to stream it in 4K. The company’s latest price hikes mirror those it rolled out just over a year ago, at the beginning of 2025. The shift happened quietly via an updated Netflix support page spotted earlier today by Android Authority. Here are the pricing changes it details: With ads: $8 to $9 Standard no ads: $18 to $20 Premium no ads: $25 to $27 For those keeping track at home, that…

The Nex Playground, a kid-focused motion-control console that exploded in popularity last year, is the latest bit of video game tech to announce a price increase directly connected to the ongoing RAM shortage caused by AI hyperscalers rushing to build data centers. On March 25, in an open letter posted online, Nex CEO and co-founder David Lee announced that starting next month, the company’s flagship console, the Nex Playground, will receive a $50 price increase, bumping the price from $250 to $300. This is the second price increase in less than two years. “We know this isn’t welcome news, and…

We started on Perimeter, the map tuned to provide the “easiest” experience in Marathon, and spent the next 15 minutes trapped in the very first building we entered, fighting every single team of player “Runners” in the match.It was GameSpot senior producer Jean-Luc Seipke’s very first match in Bungie’s online first-person extraction shooter, and it was nothing if not a trial by fire. Together with our matchmade teammate, we battled down hallways and around corners, flanking and catching opponents out, dying and reviving one another time and again. We came back from near-defeat over and over, hanging on by a…

Well here it is, friends. This will be the last of my retro game eShop lists, mostly because I am running out of retro consoles with a good variety of games to choose from. I’ve left one of the best for last, though: the PlayStation. Sony’s first whack at the ol’ console market succeeded beyond any expectations, and it’s little wonder it built a library so full of great games that we still see re-releases to this day. Sure, these games gave Nintendo a black eye a quarter of a century ago, but it’s all smiles now for everyone who…

Two things have become clear since Marathon launched at the beginning of March. The first is that it’s a very cool game that feels unlike anything else out there. The second is that most players are perfectly happy having nothing to do with it.

According to guesswork from data firm Alinea Analytics, at $40 Marathon has sold…
