PS5 Slim's Digital Edition Gets a Stealth Price Increase in USA

  Sony is using the opportunity of the  PS5’s smaller, slimmer relaunch  to stealthily bump the price of the Digital Edition in the United States. While we already know  you’ll need to pay extra for a standalone vertical stand , the organisation has also made the decision to hike the overall cost of the non-Blu-ray unit by $50. This means, moving forwards, the disc-less device will increase from an MSRP of $399.99 to $449.99. The price of the Blu-ray model has not changed, and costs just $499.99. As the standalone disc drive will retail for $79.99, you’ll actually save $20 stumping up for the bundle as opposed to buying the Digital Edition and Blu-ray add-on separately. The pricing is a bit confusing – especially when you start factoring in other currencies – but the bottom line is that it’ll become  more  expensive to buy the Digital Edition starting in November in the United States. Has this put you off purchasing the new model at all? How do you feel abo...

Within a few days of the George Floyd killing and Russia’s war against Ukraine, Harvard and other universities issued statements, claiming solidarity with the victims. Immediately after the Hamas attacks in Israel — in which assailants killed women and children — Harvard was quiet even as criticism mounted over an open letter from a student coalition. The letter, from Harvard Palestine Solidarity Groups, said it held “the Israeli regime entirely responsible for all unfolding violence.” The backlash to that letter turned Harvard’s silence into a roar. On Monday, Lawrence H. Summers, the former Treasury secretary and former Harvard president, condemned the university’s leadership, for not denouncing the pro-Palestinian letter. “In nearly 50 years of @Harvard affiliation, I have never been as disillusioned and alienated as I am today,...
