All of the best Cyber Monday deals are going on right now, triggering sold out inventory of the PlayStation 5 at the world’s largest retailers. If you’re still looking to get your game on this holiday season, Dell has stepped up with a deal on a PlayStation 5 alternative, dropping the price of the G15 gaming laptop to only $750, a Cyber Monday savings of $469 from its regular price of $1,219. If you missed out on a Playstation 5, have no fear. The Dell G15 is one of the best gaming laptops out there, and this deal is one of the best Cyber Monday gaming laptop deals you’ll find this holiday shopping season.

Whether it’s for the gamer in you or the gamer in your family, the Dell G15 gaming laptop will make a great gaming centerpiece. Like all of the best gaming laptops, it packs enough power to deliver an action-packed experience, with 10th-generation Intel processors combininge with Nvidia GeForce graphics to deliver all the power any gamer could possibly need. A superfast solid storage drive makes boot-ups faster, and optional dual drive configurations can make room for even the deepest of gaming libraries.

The Dell G15 also brings some gaming street cred, as it comes standard with a 120Hz display with 250-nit brightness. This refresh rate is twice the refresh rate you’ll find in most gaming laptops, which makes for less lag and stutter during gameplay, and less breaking apart of images when you’re  immersed in fast-paced action. It’s a stunning and immersive display, drawing you deeper into the experience of whatever gaming adventure you may be embarking upon. The graphics system is powered by the award-winning Nvidia Ampere architecture. With the press of a button, you can activate Game Shift, a performance mode engineered to keep things cool while the processors blaze through your gaming sessions, so you can game on and on without fear of overheating or processor throttling.

The Dell G15 gaming laptop looks great when it’s closed, too. A new, robust finish looks stunning on any desk, lap, or anywhere you want to take your gaming experience. Yes, mobile gaming is part of the Dell G15 package. Game for long sessions even when unplugged, and when you’re able to plug back in, the quick charging 56-watt-hour battery will get you back in the action in no time. And if you prefer to game from the comfort of your home gaming setup, the G15 sits well alongside the best gaming monitors should you choose to take advantage of its many connectivity options.

Finally, the user experience of the Dell G15 gaming laptop helps make it such an all-around great gaming option. It includes Alienware Command Center, software designed to improve the gaming experience and fine-tune your game and system settings. It gives you control over hardware and software, not only offering ability to tailor the G15’s hardware for each game you play, but also allowing you to create a unique game profile for each of those games, and to store and fine-tune settings for each one.

It’s only $750 at Dell right now, marked down from its regular price of $1,219, for a Cyber Monday savings of $469.

It’s turning into a pretty good time to be a Monster Hunter fan who plays on a phone. Capcom has confirmed that Monster Hunter Outlanders will launch on Android and iOS on October 29, giving the series a new mobile-first game just as Monster Hunter Rise is also preparing to make the jump to smartphones through Netflix.

Outlanders is being developed by Tencent subsidiary TiMi Studio Group under license and supervision from Capcom. Unlike Rise, which appears to be the full console and PC game adapted for mobile, Outlanders is a free-to-play survival hunting game made specifically for phones.

Phantom Blade Zero makes me think Sony might have a point about going all digital
Physical games still matter, but when the disc isn't a complete copy of the game, the argument for keeping it becomes harder to make.

I'm a big supporter of physical games. There's something satisfying about owning a disc, lending it to a friend, or grabbing a bargain without waiting for a digital storefront to approve the price. But Phantom Blade Zero has me questioning one of the biggest arguments in the physical-versus-digital debate. The game's digital version launches on October 29, 2026, while its physical PS5 editions, including Standard, Deluxe, and Ultimate versions, won't arrive until 2027.

And there's another wrinkle: the digital version reportedly needs up to 134GB of storage, raising questions about how much of the game can actually fit on a standard Blu-ray disc. A standard PS5 Ultra HD Blu-ray disc maxes out at 100GB, so Phantom Blade Zero may need to ship across multiple discs or require players to download additional data to finish installing it. Either way, the idea of popping in a disc and having the complete game ready to play gets a little murkier.

Nintendo Switch 2 jailbreak breakthrough shows what AI can do, but it’s not a one-click hack
The software-only exploit works on the latest firmware, but it's tethered and still has significant limitations.
Nintendo Switch 2

The Nintendo Switch 2 has reportedly been jailbroken, and AI helped crack the code. Developer Sammy Hajhamid, aka pepsipu, used OpenAI's Codex to help exploit the console, even modding Mario Kart World with the likes of Peter Griffin and Hatsune Miku. But before anyone celebrates an unlocked Nintendo playground, there's a catch: the exploit is tethered, not a full-blown custom firmware jailbreak.
