Fable’s extended preview outlines a bigger, more reactive Albion, with open-world freedom, reputation-driven consequences, and flexible “style-weaving” combat, all heading to PS5, Xbox Series X and S, and PC in autumn 2026.

It has been nearly three years now since Destiny maker (and Sony subsidiary) Bungie formally announced a revival of the storied Marathon FPS franchise. And it has been about seven months since the game's originally announced release date of September 23, 2025, was pushed back indefinitely after a reportedly poor response to the game's first Alpha test.
But today, in a post on the PlayStation Blog, Bungie revealed that the new Marathon would finally be hitting PS5, Windows, and Xbox Series X|S on March 5, narrowing down the monthlong March release window announced back in December.
Unlike Destiny 2, which transitioned to a free-to-play model in 2019, the new Marathon sells a Standard Edition for $40 or a $60 Deluxe Edition that includes some digital rewards and cosmetics. That mirrors the pricing of the somewhat similar Arc Raiders, which recently hit 12 million sales in less than 12 weeks.

A new PS5 jailbreak has caused the price of an old game to skyrocket. Here are the details on this.

For various reasons, crypto mining has fallen to the wayside in recent years. Partially because it was never useful other than as a speculative investment and partially because other speculative investments have been more popular lately, there are all kinds of old mining hardware available at bargain prices. One of those is the Asrock AMD BC250, which is essentially a cut down Playstation 5 but which has almost everything built into it that a gaming PC would need to run Steam, and [ETA PRIME] shows us how to get this system set up.
The first steps are to provide the computer with power, an SSD, and a fan for cooling. It’s meant to be in a server rack so this part at least is pretty straightforward. After getting it powered up there are a few changes to make in the BIOS, mostly related to memory management. [ETA PRIME] is uzing Bazzite as an operating system which helps to get games up and running easily. It plays modern games and even AAA titles at respectable resolutions and framerates almost out-of-the-box, which perhaps shouldn’t be surprising since this APU has a six-core Zen 2 processor with a fairly powerful RDNA2 graphics card, all on one board.
It’s worth noting that this build is a few weeks old now, and the video has gotten popular enough that the BC250 cards that [ETA PRIME] was able to find for $100 are reported to be much more expensive now. Still, though, even at double or triple the price this might still be an attractive price point for a self-contained, fun, small computer that lets you game relatively easily and resembles the Steam Machine in concept. There are plenty of other builds based on old mining hardware as well, so don’t limit yourself to this one popular piece of hardware. This old mining rig, for example, made an excellent media server.
If for some reason you haven’t grabbed a Christmas gift for yourself or a loved one yet, now is the time to change that. Sony is offering $100 off its most powerful and flagship PS5 model, the PS5 Pro, for a massive $100 off on Amazon.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Amazon is launching an invite only ordering experience for high-demand low-availability products. The new option is designed to limit inventory shortages and price gouging caused by robot traffic.
Amazon made this move to ensure that authentic customers can access products without problems. The new program launches in the United States. Items associated with the program include PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X game consoles.
“We work hard everyday to provide customers with low prices, vast selection and fast delivery,” stated Amazon’s vice president of consumer engagement, Llew Mason. “This includes developing a shopping experience where customers can purchase items they’re interested in without having to worry about bad actors buying and reselling them at a much higher price.”
The ordering option will enable consumers to request an invitation to purchase high-demand items. The information for this can be found on the product detail page. The invite only program does not require any additional purchases or costs.
Any consumer with an Amazon account can request an invitation to purchase a given item. Prime accounts are not requirements.
According to Amazon, items that are part of the program will have a label indicating that they’re “available by invitation.” The product pages for such items will also explain that items are in high demand, with limited quantities available and that the company may not be able to grant all requests.
To ensure that only genuine consumers obtain invitations to purchase products, Amazon will filter out bot-like submissions. Invitations will be sent to remaining customers.
To separate the bots from the humans, Amazon plans to leverage a number of different data points. These include an account’s prior purchase history and the longevity of the account itself.
When invitations to purchase are granted, consumers will receive an email with instructions about exactly how to purchase the item. The email will explain the time-frame in which the item must be purchased and provide a link to the item’s webpage. On the webpage, users will be able to add the item to a cart or select the ‘Buy Now’ option.
An icon will depict how many hours or minutes a user has before the invitation expires. Amazon aims to grant more invitations to purchase if inventory availability increases.
Amazon notes that bad actors make up only a small percentage of buyers on its marketplace. However, it’s committed to stopping them from negatively affecting the shopping experience for customers.
The new ordering experience is designed to provide customers with access to products at reasonable prices. Otherwise, bad actors may buy up products and resell them at exceptionally high mark-ups, leaving customers frustrated and disappointed.
The reselling issue has largely pertained to gaming consoles. Nonetheless, other high-demand, low-availability tech products also suffer from this effect every now and then.
The new ordering option starts today in the United States. At this time, it only affects gaming consoles. Amazon intends to expand the program to other countries and products in the future.
