Sony has raised the price of its PS5 consoles again, marking the second increase in less than a year. The first price hike last August was linked to tariffs, but this April’s increase is due to a shortage of DRAM, a type of computer memory, caused by high demand from AI companies like OpenAI. This shortage has significantly driven up the cost of RAM and other key parts. As a result, the PS5 Slim with a disc drive now costs $649, up from $549, and the PS5 Pro has jumped to $899, a substantial increase from its previous price of $749.

Games like the Grand Theft Auto series were groundbreaking, stretching the limits of older consoles and computers while still delivering compelling stories and fun gameplay.

Mystery in video games hasn’t vanished, but it’s changed. While games still hide secrets, players now uncover them very differently. Online communities quickly band together to solve complex puzzles, and developers often create layered secrets knowing players will find them quickly through data mining. It’s become hard to tell the difference between simple Easter eggs and deliberately designed puzzles meant to be discovered. Secrets are now made to be found, shared, and analyzed, and while that removes some of the old mystery, it creates a new kind of excitement.

PlayStation Plus (PS Plus) has three different membership levels: Essential, Extra, and Premium. The Essential tier gives you access to online gameplay and a couple of free games each month. The Extra tier includes everything from Essential, plus hundreds of PS5 and PS4 games to play. Premium takes it even further, adding games from older PlayStation consoles. Every month, Sony adds a variety of new games to each tier, including popular first-party exclusives, big-name titles from other developers, games for PS VR2, and well-loved indie games. The quality of the monthly games varies, but there are usually a few really great ones. What games have been added to PS Plus each month?

Anime quality varies greatly. While some shows become groundbreaking classics, many others unfortunately disappoint. Interestingly, even truly terrible anime can be enjoyable – fans often find humor in seeing just how badly they failed. These mistakes can become surprisingly entertaining, leading to a strange sort of affection for shows that are beloved despite – or even because of – their flaws.

Discovering hidden secrets in video games has become a popular hobby in itself. A recent example is the many Easter eggs found throughout Resident Evil Requiem, proving developers still enjoy hiding messages for players to find. However, the practice of including secret details in software dates back to the 1960s, and the first known instance in a video game was in 1973’s Moonlander. Players who successfully navigated the lunar module through several screens encountered a hidden McDonald’s restaurant their astronaut could visit. While this is considered the first video game Easter egg, another game would later give the term its official name.

Many anime series could become considered modern classics, and the list of really good ones is long. It’s great to see so much quality anime from the last twenty years, with even the shows that almost make the cut being excellent – easily an 8 out of 10 or better. Series like Dandadan, That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, My Hero Academia, and Konosuba are already fantastic, but the true masterpieces stand out even further.
