PS5’s July restock is here. Sony has announced pre-orders for their next-gen console in India, which is set to go live on July 23, at 12pm noon. This time, Sony is only distributing the disc-less Digital variant, which is priced at Rs. 39,990 — but performs similar to its beefy counterpart. This marks the first time that Sony has distributed the digital only variant for restocking in India. Past campaigns included both Digital and Blu-ray variants of the system or simply the disc version. A Rs. 54,490 Gran Turismo bundle also went on sale a few times. The bundle remained on store shelves months after release, so there is still...

At last, Microsoft added Windows 11 digital licenses to the Microsoft Store. That said, aside from the Windows 11 licenses on USB drivers, you have another option to purchase them digitally.

Nonetheless, we’re still grateful that the tech giant finally made it available in the place, making it more accessible for PC owners, especially for those using virtual machines or planning to build or customize their PCs. The Store offers two versions of the OS that are designed for users’ varying needs. Windows 11 Home costs $139, while Windows 11 Pro,...

Western Digital is announcing the sampling of its new 22TB CMR and 26TB SMR hard drives today at its What’s Next Western Digital Event. As usual, the hyperscale cloud customers will get first dibs on these drives. The key takeaway from today’s presentation is that Western Digital doesn’t yet feel the need to bring heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) into the picture. In fact, WD is doubling down on energy-assisted PMR (ePMR) technology and OptiNAND (introduced first in the 20TB CMR drives).

Photo by Vjeran Pavic / The Verge Players on PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita are having trouble accessing their digital purchases after a strange expiration date suddenly appeared on certain games, as first reported by Kotaku. The problem seems to mostly affect classic titles, preventing users from playing Chrono Cross, Chrono Trigger, and Final Fantasy VI, as the games are now “expired.” But here’s the odd part: the expiration dates are dated half a century in the past.

Ever since Nintendo launched the Nintendo Switch, it has been the main console of the Japanese multinational video game company. However, throughout all these years, the eShop for the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS remained open for anyone interested in buying games for these consoles.

Although the eShops won’t be discontinued until next year, Nintendo will be rolling out a couple of changes to eShop purchases until we reach that deadline. Some of these changes include:...
