How to choose an Xbox Series S on Cyber Monday

When it comes to buying an Xbox Series S, it’s a smart idea to think about if it’s the console for you. We’ve compared the Xbox Series X vs Xbox Series S to work out if it’s better to spend more. In particular, the Xbox Series S is an ideal console if you want a secondary console alongside a PS5 or if you’re more of a casual gamer. While the Xbox Series X is much more powerful, both consoles play the same games. It just comes down to resolution and visual quality, with the Series X only really noticeably different if you have a TV or monitor that can display games at 4K resolutions compared to the 1440p nature of the Series S. Also, the Xbox Series S is a digital only console with no disc drive.

If you’re buying a console for a child, the Series S will be more than enough while being considerably cheaper. Got a powerful gaming PC? You likely don’t need the Xbox Series S as Game Pass works just as well on the PC as it would on console and you’ll only end up double dipping.

Well… at least God of War Laufey is getting a physical disc
Santa Monica Studio quietly confirmed the upcoming adventure won't be download-only.

Last week, Sony lit the gaming community on fire by announcing that all new PlayStation games released from January 2028 onwards would be digital-only, effectively bringing an end to physical discs for future releases. At the same time, the company also confirmed it would shut down the PlayStation 3 and PS Vita digital stores by July 2027, reinforcing concerns that digital storefronts and the games tied to them don't last forever. Unsurprisingly, the announcements triggered widespread backlash from collectors and long-time PlayStation fans. In the middle of all that, Santa Monica Studio offered a surprisingly comforting update: God of War Laufey will be available on disc. It's only one sentence, but it says a lot.

More than just a physical release

Samsung Display’s Gaming-optimized OLED Products Showcased at COMPUTEX 2026

Samsung Display has introduced OBLYX, its first dedicated OLED brand for gaming laptops, as the company looks to strengthen its position in one of the fastest-growing segments of the PC market. The announcement was made at Bilibili World 2026 (BW2026) in Shanghai, marking Samsung Display's first appearance at China's largest gaming and anime convention.

Rather than unveiling a new display technology, Samsung is creating a recognizable identity for its gaming-focused OLED panels, much like established branding for processors or graphics cards. The move also hints at the company's ambitions in China, where demand for OLED-equipped gaming laptops is accelerating rapidly, according to a Digital Today report.

Razer’s Sanrio collaboration has already produced a full desk setup, and the final drop is now here. The company has launched the Razer Kraken Kitty V2 BT Cinnamoroll Edition, a wireless headset themed around one of Sanrio’s most recognizable characters.

Cinnamoroll is a white puppy from Sanrio, the Japanese company behind Hello Kitty and several other globally recognized character brands. He is known for his long floppy ears, blue eyes, curly tail, and soft cloud-like look. As per the Sanrio lore, he was born high above the clouds and can fly by flapping his big ears. Razer has leaned heavily into that identity for this headset, replacing the usual kitty look with Cinnamoroll’s floppy ears and a sky-blue color scheme.
