Best gaming monitors in 2025: the pixel-perfect panels I'd buy myself
Magic's Avatar: The Last Airbender Collector Booster Box is finally back in stock and available to preorder at Amazon, priced at $455.88. This was $550 only yesterday, so a massive reduction, all things considered.
This is much cheaper compared to the market price, as seen at TCGplayer, which has it listed at around $528. These collector boosters have been incredibly hard to come by, hence the high pricing.
But, if you play your cards right, there are also a couple of amazing promo offers that could bag you this crazy expensive booster box for under $250. If you fancy saving a small fortune, you'll need to check if you're eligible for an Amazon Visa card (see here).
After signing up, you'll receive an instant $60 gift card credited to your Amazon account. This will bring down the total price to $489.99, which is well below market value.
Once you've applied the gift card at checkout, make sure your AMEX or Discover credit card is on your Amazon account and use it to pay for $1 of your order.
This will then trigger a discount of up to 50%, which will knock your order down to a crazy $244.99. The discount should be applied automatically. Just follow the link here to see if you qualify, or see here for the Discover offer instead.
Another elusive Avatar MTG set was also recently restocked at Amazon. The Commander's Bundle is back up and available to preorder for $109.99. Lock your order in ASAP to avoid FOMO!
MTG's Avatar doesn't drop until November 21, but we're already seeing top chase cards in the wild, which are ridiculously hard to pull. Feel free to try your hand at the Collectors Booster Box, but you'll likely save money just buying the cards you need outright.
Here's the top five chase cards right now, including where to buy and up-to-date market pricing information. But, also note that these prices will rapidly change come release next week on November 21, so it could be worth holding out until then as well.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 has sold 4 million copies, Capcom has confirmed — and now fans want news on DLC.
Capcom’s action RPG came out in March 2024 and was well-received with reviewers, but well-documented technical issues hampered its launch. Indeed, Steam user reviews remain ‘mixed’ now, over a year-and-a-half later.
Still, loyal fans who have stuck with the game are desperately hoping that Capcom hasn’t abandoned Dragon’s Dogma 2 (the last meaningful title update came out in January) and indeed the franchise. And while it seems too early for a sequel announcement, fans are hoping for a significant DLC reveal.
Indeed, some are pointing to the successful release of Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen, an expanded version of the original Dragon’s Dogma that included new content, as the template Capcom should use for a Dragon’s Dogma 2 re-release of sorts.

Others are less hopeful. With Hideaki Itsuno, director of Dragon’s Dogma and Dragon’s Dogma 2, having left Capcom after working at the company for over 30 years, the franchise now lacks a public-facing leader. Some are hoping Kento Kinoshita, who directed Dark Arisen, will spearhead Dragon's Dogma 2 Dark Arisen, but there’s no indication yet from Capcom that such a project exists.
In an interview with VGC in August, Itsuno said he wasn’t surprised that Dragon’s Dogma 2 failed to have universal appeal because he designed it that way.
“I made the game not like a Nintendo one to be liked by all the people, but for a certain type of audience, so it’s normal if some people outside that target audience don’t like the game,” he said. “However, people who enjoyed the game really loved it, appreciated the details and work. I’m very proud of it.”
Upcoming Capcom games include Resident Evil Requiem, Pragmata, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, and Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection.

Liz Albl, the new BioShock game's narrative lead, has now joined Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher studio CD Projekt Red.
The move follows 2K's recent decision to "rework" development of its long-gestating BioShock 4 project, which has been in development now since at least 2018.
Albl joined Cloud Chamber, 2K's secretive studio tasked with building a fresh BioShock chapter, back in 2022. Now, an update on LinkedIn makes clear that the former narrative boss departed the company back in August — at the time 2K indicated it was unhappy with progress and announced layoffs.
"Work on the next BioShock game has been underway for several years," noted an email to Cloud Chamber staff sent at the time by 2K president David Ismailer, and obtained by IGN. "While we’re excited about the foundational gameplay elements of the project, we’ve made the decision with studio leadership to rework certain aspects that are core to a BioShock game, and in doing so are reducing the size of the development team to focus on this work and give the game more time in development."
A Bloomberg report confirmed that Cloud Chamber Games studio head Kelley Gilmore had been removed, amid other layoffs, while creative director Hogarth de la Plante had been shuffled into a publishing role.
The timing of Albl's departure from the studio in August also makes sense, then, and it was reported at the time that 2K Games had been particularly critical of issues with the game's narrative. BioShock 4's story is now expected to be overhauled, and development will be overseen by former Gears of War head and Diablo franchise lead Rod Fergusson, who 2K has installed as the new overall boss of both Cloud Chamber and the BioShock franchise.
Prior to Cloud Chamber, Albl had served two years at Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor studio Monolith Productions working on Warner Bros.' now-cancelled Wonder Woman game. Prior to that, Albl had worked for several years at PlayStation's Sucker Punch studio writing Ghost of Tsushima, and at Ubisoft working on the Far Cry and Watch Dogs franchises.
Little is known about the next BioShock game, though sporadic hints from job descriptions and other possible leaks have suggested it will be set in a brand new location, and feature open world elements. When IGN last asked Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick about the game's progress, he reassured that BioShock 4 was "going to come out" for certain, but could not say when.
As for BioShock's original creator Ken Levine, there's little new word on his own long-awaited next project — the BioShock-esque Judas. Despite previously being expected by March 2025, we've not had a fresh update now in a little while.

On November 21, Sony will release a cheaper, Japan-exclusive digital edition of the PS5 console. The CFI-2200B01 model is Japanese-language only, offers 896GB storage instead of 1TB, and retails for 55,000 yen (approx. $354) from the official Sony store (compared to 72,980 yen or roughly $470 for the regular PS5 Digital Edition). But why is Sony doing this now in Japan, five years after the console’s launch?
Last Friday, TV Tokyo broadcast a discussion between its journalists that dived into the reasons behind Sony releasing this new PS5 variant. They determined that a key motivation is the playerbase in Japan — TV Tokyo reports that the PS5 has been losing more and more of its share of the Japanese console market to Nintendo. The reporters note that Nintendo’s Switch 1 and 2 consoles seem to be more popular with children and young people in Japan, citing the Switch’s versatility as a handheld or TV-connected console as a key part of its appeal (the high popularity of Nintendo characters like Mario, Link and Kirby also help).
The console sales figures seem to back this up with this year’s launch of the Switch 2 outpacing the PS5 and even Nintendo’s own expectations for demand. Japanese game magazine Famitsu’s estimated lifetime sales for PS5 and the Switch 2 show that the Switch 2 has shifted around 2.6 million units in Japan since its June 2025 launch, whereas lifetime sales for all PS5 models (including the PS5 Pro), sit at a combined total of 7.1 million units since 2020. TV Tokyo also suggests that Sony reacted to Nintendo's success in releasing a cheaper, Japanese-only Switch 2 by releasing a Japan-exclusive PS5 at a reduced price just four months later.
With the first Switch console, some ports ran poorly or looked visibly worse on the Switch than the PS5. This was especially the case for high performance games, giving people more reasons to pick the PS5 or PS4 version of third-party AAA titles. However, the more powerful Switch 2 seems to be moving these goalposts. Nintendo’s latest console is getting ports of former PS5-exclusives Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. Although these ports probably won’t match the graphical fidelity of the PS5 versions, they wouldn't run on the less powerful original Switch.
Speaking about the Switch 2's success in the Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun on November 18, Nintendo resident Shuntaro Furukawa pointed out that the console builds upon its predecessor and is "a powerful console with processor performance that can handle what game developers want to make."
Another reason behind Sony’s new Japanese-only model was to create a PS5 that will more reliably end up in the hands of domestic players. With the weak yen, there has been a trend for resellers to buy Japanese PS5s for the purpose of exporting them (the program reports that this is especially the case in China, as the Japanese PS5 is in demand because it does not block certain games like mainland models do). However, the new Japan-exclusive PS5 model will only have Japanese language support and can only be used with a PlayStation Network account set to Japan (according to Sony’s official site). Like the standard Digital Edition, users can still upgrade it with the separately-sold disc drive if they want to play physical games.
Observing Sony’s tendency to focus on the overseas market more in recent years, TV Tokyo’s economic correspondent Kinji Abe suggests that Sony Interactive Entertainment’s new CEO Hideaki Nishino may be responsible for this pivot back towards the Japanese market. After a brief stint as joint CEO with Hermen Holst, Nishino became SIE’s sole CEO in April 2025.
Although issues like PS5 price hikes and the 2020 chip shortage have impacted the console in other regions, in its home country of Japan the weak yen has also contributed to the rising price of Sony’s hardware. Back in November 2020, the PS5 Digital Edition started out with a 43,980 yen launch price, however this climbed steadily over the next few years. In September 2024, the price was bumped up to 72,980 yen, prompting online criticism of Sony. With Monster Hunter being such a popular franchise in Japan, a lot of this discourse around Sony’s 2024 PS5 price hike centered on the highly-anticipated Monster Hunter Wilds, with users debating about picking up a gaming PC or an Xbox to play the game on instead. This discussion was so widespread that online stores started running campaigns to sell gaming PC setups to Monster Hunter Wilds hopefuls, and Xbox Series X and S consoles experienced a surge in sales (as reported by Automaton).
Worldwide, the PS5 has run into several issues since its launch. The console’s scarcity post-release, coupled with supply chain issues, meant that it was hard for many customers to get hold of a PS5 during the pandemic when many people had more time to play games. Also many games have continued to be released on PS4 as well as PS5, which means that compared to previous console generations, players still have surprisingly few exclusives to motivate them to pick up Sony’s newer console.
In addition, Sony’s push towards live service games was not as successful as it had hoped. Although Helldivers 2 was a hit, prior to that Sony cancelled a whole host of in-development live service titles (including those from major Sony developers, like Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us multiplayer game). Then there’s the costly failure of Concord (and subsequent closure of Firewalk Studios), arguably the biggest disaster in PlayStation history.
It remains to be seen how far this cheaper, Japan-only PS5 will go in helping Sony gain back the market in its home country. Looking towards the future, there are rumors that the upcoming PS6 will be a dockable handheld, suggesting that it will mimic the Switch in this regard.

Battlefield 6 players are split after the new 323 cosmetic pack introduced a collection of grounded infantry skins... and a $24 price tag.
EA and Battlefield Studios published their California Resistance Season 1 update today, adding a laundry list of fixes and features alongside a fresh store update. With another free gift and more cosmetics in rotation, Battlefield 6 fans hoping to see more grounded skins were happy to find The 323 pack cosmetic pack brings exactly the kind of customization options they were looking for.
"Yes DICE, these are the skins we want!" one popular Reddit post says. The downside, though, is players will have to cough up some serious cash if they want to wear them.
“Four American soldiers from different walks of life suddenly find themselves as the only defense when Pax Armata assaults the town of Eastwood,” a description for Battlefield 6’s The 323 skin pack says. “This guerrilla unit makes do with anything on hand, and clears through urban conflict block by block.”
For 2,400 Battlefield Coins, or $24 USD, you get the Class skins seen above, as well as access to the 323 unit and a few other cosmetics. There is an in-game bundle option to purchase 2,400 Battlefield Coins for $19.99, but it’s far from enough to stop players from dropping their jaws as they see how much these otherwise well-received skins cost.
“Obviously the most beautiful (and appropriate) ones are paid for, and on the battle pass they put the colored fluorescent ones that can see you at 100km,” one popular comment says. “Rascals!”
“It’s s**t like this that makes me realize I am not the target audience of this game,” another adds. “I’m the wrong kind of financially irresponsible to pay for garbage like this lol.”
The goofy skin debate has been nearly inescapable since Battlefield 6 launched for PC and consoles on October 10. It’s a movement that has seen vocal fans calling out some of the more vibrant infantry skins in the hope of warding off the controversial outfits seen in other shooters like Call of Duty. Even as BF Studios worked to address some of the more divisive skins, it’s remained one of the few topics the Battlefield community just can’t seem to shake.
High prices now add a new wrinkle to the discourse as fans weigh the value The 323 pack adds to the Battlefield 6 experience. As fears of goofy skins have mounted, so too have comments from select players who declared they would pay for high-quality grounded skins should they ever come to multiplayer. Now that The 323 pack is here with a high price tag and pages are dominated by dissatisfaction, other Battlefield 6 fans have been quick to fire back.
“That’s what y’all were asking for lol,” one Reddit user said. “Can’t even count the number of post where people said they would be willing to just give money for grounded skins rather than do challenges or if dice added grounded skins in the shop they would give them money.
“Also tired of people acting like theirs no grounded skin options, legit every launch skin (I guess other than the mastery skins because of the orange lol) are grounded.”
Another user replied: “Maybe if they were a reasonable price, sure. But a $20+ bundle? In a game we already paid $70+ for?”
While Battlefield 6 players continue to work out their disagreements about cosmetics, others are diving into the content introduced in today’s 1.1.2.0 update. These include the new Eastwood map and new weapons, as well as a host of bug fixes for both the base game and its REDSEC offshoot. More hot topics, such as map sizes, are said to be under review as Season 1 presses on.

Here are the newest codes we've found for Anime Card Clash this month, as well as information on the rewards you'll get for redeeming them:
Unfortunately, these codes are now expired:
We usually find that when codes aren't working, it's for one of two reasons.

We test each and every one before we add them, so just be sure you don't copy an extra space before or after the code accidentally!
If your code still isn't working, it might be that it's expired. For reference, in Anime Card Clash, whenever you put in a code incorrectly, it says "Code not found!".
We check for Roblox codes daily, so when a new Anime Card Clash code drops, you can be sure you'll find it here! If you want to track down codes yourself, the Anime Card Clash Discord server is the place to hunt for them.
In Anime Card Clash the goal is to build the best deck to battle against bosses and other players.
