Pre-orders are now live and flying for the highly-anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI. The game, as I’m sure you all know by know, is only launching on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, with a PC presumably in the works for a future release (as per usual with Rockstar), but a new leak suggests the rumored Switch 2 version is inbound too.

Update:
Okay here we go! Grand Theft Auto 6 pre-orders are now live. Retailers like Amazon, Walmart, and others are at the ready to take orders on boxed copies and you won’t have to pay until later this year when it launches in November. All digital copies are expected to be live on the PS and Xbox storefronts tonight as well.
This it folks, the final 24 hours of the 2026 Amazon Prime Day sale has begun. You have until 1-day left to take advantage of the ongoing deals while they are still live (some of them are going quick) and you will now find all-new deals waiting in the Today’s Big Deals and Started Today deal section over on the main Prime Day landing page.

Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders are in full swing at Amazon, Walmart, GameStop, and elsewhere, about gazillion people have already secured a copy, and Rockstar still hasn’t even showed us any real gameplay. It hasn’t even really detailed much more than the game world at this point, but Amazon is not only in the midst of its giant Prime Day sale right now, but it also might have just leaked some new tidbits regarding real-time protagonist switching, in-game social network action that ties into secret side missions, and more.
Okay here we go folks, Day 3 of the 2026 Prime Day sale is now underway. Amazon has loaded its Started Today, Doorbusters, and Today’s Big Deal sections up with new offers and you can go get a look at them right here. The Apple deals are still rolling with loads of all-time lows, AirPods Pro 3 price drops, and more, but we also have an updated look at the Anker charging gear sale event with even lower prices, as well as even deeper deals across the Samsung Galaxy S26 lineup, and a whole lot more than that waiting down below.

The Grand Theft Auto 6 pre-orders are now live at Amazon, Walmart, GameStop and elsewhere, as you might already know if you stayed up with us for the midnight launch. But if you’re bitter about Rockstar’s decision to launch the “physical” version with just a download code in the box, the same insider that leaked the digital launch ahead of time is now claiming a disc version of Grand Theft Auto 6 is coming later this year.

We are now heading into Day 3 of the massive Amazon Prime Day sale.

If you’re a fan of supercars, LEGO has unveiled a new building set that will likely get you roaring as loudly as its real-life counterpart’s engine, and you won’t have to wait long to add it to your collection. The LEGO Technic 42232 Koenigsegg Sadair’s Spear Megacar is quite the wild 1:8 scale set and I’m sure it will become a staple in many collections once it hits the market, complete with a dedicated GWP during the first six days of its release.

When it comes to pocket printers, there are plenty of options on the market in this day and age, though they tend to only stick to one focus and never try to offer multi-functional use. That gap is precisely where INKWON steps in, with its new Tag 4-in-1 Pocket Creative Studio handling just about everything – photos, stickers, heat-transfer clothing prints, and temporary tattoos. With this new first-gen device currently coming closer and closer to its Kickstarter end date, I got to go hands-on with a beta test of the system, and have walked away quite impressed that it keeps close to the company’s pitch.

Every summer, I usually end up on a new e-bike and e-scooter combination for my commuting around both Brooklyn and the more suburban Virginia town where my family resides. This year, alongside my Navee UT5 Ultra X SuperScooter, I’ve been cruising around on Engwe’s new M20 3.0 Moped-Style e-bike, and boy, is it quite the surprise ride. Our readers may know that since last year, I’ve been loving my time on Lectric’s XP4 750 Folding Utility e-bike, and I still do, but ENGWE has put out quite the more budget-friendly option with this new ride, and both the single and dual-battery configurations bring along longer travelling distances and plenty of top-notch features, all packed inside a very stylish e-bike. Even my family has been enjoying it over their legacy Rad Power Bike models, and they’ve been quite impressed by its performance for the price. You can get my hands-on impressions from my time riding this new model down below.

Nintendo hosted its big summer Nintendo Direct presentation this week and it was…good. Not great, but good. I think the bevy of Nintendo leaks that have hit this year dulled the experience significantly for many folks, myself included, Nintendo stock has taken a bit of nose dive because of it, and more importantly, there’s more than a few gamers that walked away from the presentation far less excited than they should have been. So what’s next from Nintendo: Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time limited edition Switch 2 console? A proper influx of major Game Cube titles? Is there one more surprise 2026 game release?

UGREEN’s new lineup of Nexode Air chargers has managed to stand out in the market with its compact design – and how! We took a look at the brand’s 65W Nexode Air ultra-mini USB-C GaN charger a few weeks back, and we’re now checking out the ultra-slim 45W Nexode Air model. This is easily the slimmest charger I have in my EDC right now, and it’s compact enough to slip into just about any of my pockets or bags. While it doesn’t quite match the 65W charging speeds of the other variant I tested earlier, I’ve found myself reaching for this slimmer one more often over the past few weeks simply because it’s so easy to carry around.

It’s becoming increasingly difficult to remain excited about SSDs these days, thanks to rising prices driven by industry-wide hikes and ongoing memory shortages. That’s exactly why I believe drives like the ORICO iFolder Go feel like a breath of fresh air in a market that doesn’t offer much to get excited about lately. This SSD, as you can probably tell, sports a very unconventional design that looks nothing like the external drives we’re used to seeing. It’s easily among the most unique SSDs in my stash. But is there more to it than just good looks? Does it actually deliver the performance to back up its unique design? Head below to find out.

I’ve been a fan of Navee’s electric scooters since I first went hands-on with the feature-packed ST3 Pro Electric Scooter last summer. I came away from the experience highly impressed, and even declared that, as a long-time Segway rider, the popular brand has a challenger with that series. This year, Navee has really stepped up its game and challenged Segway’s newest SuperScooter with its own supercar-inspired UT5 Ultra X Electric SuperScooter that sports monstrous dual-motor power, insane speeds, a 75-mile travel range, all the smart features you could want, and more. It’s truly a thrill-seeker’s delight, and looks as premium with its golden colorway, not to mention while carrying NBA legend Kevin Garnett’s signature/seal of approval.
