The first big piece of downloadable content for Gears of War 3 has been delayed, leaving gamers wondering when they’ll get their hands on the “Horde Command” add-on.

The DLC was announced back in early October, and was expected to arrive November 1. A message posted on the Epic Games forum indicates that a “technical issue” is to blame for the delay.

“We apologize to those of you who are anxiously awaiting to play,” states the post from one of the forum’s moderators. “We know this is disappointing news as we’ve seen a lot of posts today showing excitement for this content. We have folks working around the clock to resolve this issue ASAP so you can all play and enjoy the Command Pack.”

Joystiq reports that the delay for “Horde Command” will not affect the scheduled release of the second DLC pack, “RAAM’s Shadow,” due out in December.

[Update: Looks like the issues have been resolved.  The “Horde Command” DLC is available to download now]

The debate around GTA 6's "physical" edition just got another twist. Rockstar has confirmed on its official website that PS5 download codes included with physical copies of Grand Theft Auto VI sold in Japan will expire 170 days after the game's November 19, 2026 launch date. That means players who don't redeem the code before roughly May 8, 2027 could be left with nothing more than an empty game box, even though they purchased a physical copy. The company says the policy is required due to regional regulations in Japan.

Why only Japan?

Fresh off launching a metallic Hall-effect keyboard and a 59g gaming mouse for flashy esports setups, Lenovo has turned its attention to gamers working with much tighter budgets. The Legion 24-1r looks made for broke college students who spent way too much on their first gaming rig and now have instant noodles doing most of the heavy lifting at dinner. It costs just 669 yuan, equivalent to around $99, yet offers a 23.8-inch IPS panel running at up to 280Hz.

Lenovo is also offering the 27-inch Legion 27-1r with the same core specifications for 789 yuan, or roughly $116. For the ramen-budget crowd chasing competitive frame rates, both look like seriously tempting deals. (via NotebookCheck)
