Tired of a plain white console? From Nightmare Before Christmas to Venom, and the Dallas Cowboys to Los Angeles Lakers, there are a ton of skins you can choose from. Many of them include officially licensed designs and prints, with scratch-resistant surfaces. They’re vinyl decals with a 3M adhesive backing that makes it super easy to apply to your console, but won’t leave any sticky residue when you’re ready to return to stock! There are a bunch of matching controller skins too. Just be aware that prices vary, and some are more expensive because they include multiple skins bundled together.

You may or may not know that you can plug an external hard drive into a PS4 and load games and apps on it.

Basically, you can bring your entire PS4 digital library with you over to the PS5 quickly and easily. There are both 2TB and 4TB options for the Seagate drive. There are refurbished drives available too, if you want to try to those out. There are some cool themed ones too with designs inspired by Captain America, Avengers, and The Last of Us II.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4’s Stranded mission had me hooked for hours, yet left me wanting more
I spent hours sneaking through North Korea, scavenging supplies, and clearing outposts, and I’d happily do it all again.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 Stranded mission gameplay

For years, Call of Duty’s campaign mode has used big, scripted set pieces to tell the overarching story amid all the adrenaline-pumping action. The 2023 Modern Warfare 3 tried to shake up the established formula by introducing a handful of short open combat missions, and I genuinely liked the idea, but the game's overall negative reception seeped into how those missions were received.

I feared the next iteration might abandon the idea because of the backlash, but I am glad it didn't. MW4’s “Stranded” mission uses the same approach, but instead of fragmenting it across the campaign, it puts it all in a single large-scale open-world mission.
