1+ min ago (761+ words) Black Friday and Cyber Monday may be over, but there are still some great deals live now. Also: 10 DIY gadgets I never leave out of my toolkit (and why each one earns its spot) I review a lot of gadgets and gear here at ZDNET -- over the past 12 months I've reviewed dozens of phones, power banks, and power stations, not to mention countless tools, EDC items, drones, amd much more -- so I've got my finger on the pulse when it comes to what's a good deal and what's just a fake price cut." On top of that, I'll only list things that I'd want, buy, and use. No fluff, no filler. Here are my favorite Cyber Monday gadget deals still live. This USB cable tester is a small box measuring 2.9 x 2.5 x 0.5 inches and features an array of ports. There…...

Former Marathon director says he pushed for a new name for Marathon's genre, calling the "extraction shooter" label "so dumb" and saying it's the only genre named after a mechanic. Bungie's Marathon is still aiming for a release this financial year, Sony CFO Lin Tao has confirmed, adding "as needed, we will make corrections". I hope they take their time and deliver a excellent game, learned from the last GAS Sony failure and deliver a fun experience With Arc Raiders being a hit, they have a really big hill to climb. During Sony's quarterly financial conference call CFO Lin Tao provided relevant information on the performance of the PlayStation business.

40+ min ago (272+ words) We're just as shocked as you are. Shop the Switch 2 Mario Kart World Bundle While $50 off doesn't seem like a lot, it's substantial for a couple of reasons. For starters, purchasing the bundle already includes built-in savings; sold separately, the Switch 2 and Mario Kart World cost over $520. When you factor in the additional $50 savings, you're essentially getting the game for free. Another key factor: timing. Nintendo doesn't typically discount its models this close to their initial release, as evidenced by its recent Black Friday offers, which conspicuously omitted the Switch 2 altogether. The fact that Walmart is going rogue, so to speak, is significant ahead of the holiday season. It's typically difficult to nab a brand-new system during Cyber Week; one on discount is virtually unheard of. We don't know how much longer this sale will last'we're surprised it's lasted this…...
