Latest PS5 dev kit leak shows two consoles with controllers

Another image of the PlayStation 5 development kit appears to have leaked online. 

The latest leak can be found on Twitter, where a user has posted a photo with the caption “PS5 anyone?”.

The photo seems to show two PS5 dev kits sitting together, though there’s been no official confirmation that they’re the real deal. It’s worth noting, however, that their appearance aligns with other images that have leaked previously as well as a Sony design patent that has surfaced online. 

V interesting

The Verge’s Tom Warren has also posted to say that these are dev kits and to explain that their design is to make them easily stackable for developers during stress tests. 

Devkits don’t usually reflect a console’s final design so if these are bona-fide dev kits, they probably shouldn't be taken as any kind of indication of what we can expect when the PS5 launches towards the end of 2020. This is kind of a shame as the V-shape of the dev kit and its tie-in with the Roman numeral for 5 is neat and certainly different. We'd imagine any retail release would be a little more sleek. 

As such, we can't glean a huge deal from the photo, although some have suggested that towards the right of the consoles we’re seeing a pair of DualShock 5 prototypes. It’s impossible to tell for sure, especially given the latest patent leak suggests the PS5 controller won’t be far away from the DualShock 4 in terms of appearance. But it does look like the most visible controller in this photo is lacking a light strip on its top which matches up with the recent patent's description. Without any official confirmation from Sony, however, nothing here is definite. 

Regardless, as we’re nearing the end of 2019 we’re hoping it won’t be too much longer before we get to see the retail version of the PS5. In the meantime, this will certainly do.

When is The Mandalorian episode 5 released on Disney Plus?

Curious about when the next episode of The Mandalorian - episode 5 - drops on Disney Plus? New episodes of The Mandalorian are released every Friday on Disney Plus, with a couple of notable exceptions. Episode 1 released on a Tuesday to coincide with the Disney Plus streaming service launch, and episode 7 launches on a different day to avoid clashing with Rise of Skywalker. We'll explain more below. 

The official release schedule of The Mandalorian season one on Disney Plus below. Want to know how to watch The Mandalorian? We can help you with that.

When is the next episode of The Mandalorian on Disney Plus?

The next episode of The Mandalorian, episode 5, releases on Disney Plus on December 6, next Friday. You'll be able to stream it then in the US, Canada, the Netherlands, Australia and New Zealand, which are all the territories where you can currently get Disney Plus. Episodes arrive at around midnight PT, although some users reported it dropping a little earlier this week. The time seems to vary.

If you want to watch each new episode as soon as it arrives, be prepared to stay up late if you're in the US. It's worth it for Baby Yoda, right?

When do the other episodes of The Mandalorian season one release?

They all release each Friday over the next two months, with the exception of the seventh episode, which releases on a Wednesday (it's unclear why this is, but a reader emailed in to suggest it's to avoid the 12/20 release date for The Rise of Skywalker, which makes sense). There are eight episodes in total. Here's the official confirmed release schedule from Disney:

  • Episode one: Out now
  • Episode two: Out now
  • Episode three: Out now
  • Episode four: Out now
  • Episode five: December 6
  • Episode six: December 13
  • Episode seven: December 18
  • Episode eight: December 27

When is The Mandalorian season one finale?

As explained above, the season one finale of The Mandalorian arrives on Disney Plus on December 27. Between this show, Jedi: Fallen Order and The Rise of Skywalker, you can pretty much fill this holiday season with as much Star Wars as you can possibly enjoy.

The Mandalorian season 2 is already filming.

Should I buy a Tefal ActiFry Original Plus?

If you love the taste of fried foods but want to watch the waistline, it may be worth investing in an air fryer. The latest air frying gadgets can cook a wide range of tasty meals quickly and evenly, with very little or no oil needed. 

Guilt-free crispy chips? You got it. A low-fat Chinese stir fry? Coming right up. Tefal’s Actifry Original Plus, for example, has a unique patented heat pulse system and rotating stirring paddle that cooks a variety of meals with minimum effort required by you – simply listen out for the timer so you know when to dish up the plates.

We've been seeing these compact cooking gadgets crop up as Cyber Monday deals following Black Friday, so we thought we’d take a closer look at the Tefal ActiFry Original Plus here. You will in fact find it for £99.99 / $129 / AU$190 in Amazon’s Tefal ActiFry Original Plus Black Friday deal, down from £229.99 / $296 / AU$438  

It’s worth noting that there are other brands offering equally stylish solutions to suit a range of budgets. Read TechRadar’s in-depth review of the best air fryer here, where you’ll find more detail on designs by the likes of Ninja, Wilko, Princess and Swan. 

The Bottom Line: Got a lot of mouths to feed? 20% larger than the Tefal Original ActiFry and only slightly more expensive, the Tefal ActiFry Original Plus lets you cook up to five portions at a time - as opposed to four. 

Pros: You’ll be surprised at the variety of healthy recipes you can cook using the Tefal ActiFry Original Plus. The design lets comes with an inspirational recipe book that includes dishes such as ‘Garlic King Prawns’ to start, a Vegan Thai Noodle Bowl with Peanut Sauce for main, and ‘Lower-fat Doughnuts’ for pudding.  There’s also a My ActiFry app that gives you access to 150+ recipes.

Cons: While the Tefal ActiFry Original Plus is ideal for serving up to five people, if you have a particularly large number of mouths to feed, you may want to try a larger design such as the Tefal ActiFry Genius XL, which has a 1.7kg capacity and costs £149 / $192 / AU$284. You can read our in-depth Tefal ActiFry Genius XL review for more details.

Tefal ActiFry Original Plus: Everything you need to know

Tefal is an established brand that has been going for 60 years. As the story goes, in 1956 keen fisherman and Tefal inventor Marc Gregoire realised the benefits of using a non-stick coating on his fishing line. His wife then suggested he apply the same technology to kitchen pans to stop food from sticking. Shortly after, he designed Tefal’s first non-stick coating on a pan and the rest they say is history. As well as ActiFry the company now produces a wide range of ergonomic household equipment including non-stick frying pans and steam irons. 

Over on the Tefal website, we’ve found up to 14 air fryer models available – all in varying shapes and sizes.  As well as cooking convenience foods such as chips, you can use them to prepare casseroles, risottos and curries for a delicious home-cooked experience. Here are a few key features of the Tefal ActiFry Original Plus that are worth noting:  

Size: Launched in 2014, the Tefal ActiFry Original Plus is effectively a Tefal ActiFry Original with a bigger capacity  - 1.2kg versus 1kg. While the Original will allow you to make up to four portions, the Original Plus will take it up to five. For a family of six however, you may want to cast your eyes on the ActiFry Original Family, which has a 1.5kg capacity and a larger steam-free viewing window. 

Design: It’s space saving 43 x 31 x 24 cm body is discreet enough for tight worktop spaces and it comes with dishwasher safe parts including the lid, bowl and stirring paddle, for easy cleaning. 

Clever features: The ActiFry Original Plus includes a patented hot air pulse system and stirring paddle to ensure your food is crisped well on all sides, with no pre-heating, stirring or mixing by hand required. It features a timer to let you know when your meal is ready, while a large steam-free transparent lid makes it easy to see how your food is doing without you having to open the lid and disturb the process.  

Tefal ActiFry Original Plus: the final word

If you want to have a go at cooking traditionally fried foods such as soy and sesame salmon or chicken Tikka Masala without the added oil, this device could just provide the healthy alternative you desire. At sale prices, the Tefal ActiFry Original Plus shouldn't be missed.

Apple Watch 3 hits an even lower record UK price for Black Friday

One of the best smartwatch deals we've seen this Black Friday is Argos' £189 offer on the Apple Watch 3 – well, John Lewis has not only price-matched that deal, but undercut it even further with a £184 offer on the 38mm Silver version with a white Sport Band. Not in the UK? Scroll down for the best Apple Watch 3 deals near you.

That's the lowest price we've seen for the Apple Watch 3, which remains one of the finest smartwatches you can buy. If you own an iPhone and are looking for sports watch with added benefits, then it's well worth snapping one up at that price.

It has a bright, vivid OLED screen, plus some fantastic fitness features that could be very motivational if you're already planning a New Year exercise regime.

The Watch 3 also runs the latest WatchOS software and has a heart-rate monitor, which not only records your beats per minute but also your daily resting heart rate to give you a picture of overall health and fitness.

The Apple Watch 3 is also an big improvement from its predecessor in a few other areas, including battery life and the combination of its GPS and water-resistance, which make it ideal for swim-tracking.  

We'd also recommend this non-LTE version of the Apple Watch, as the LTE version doesn't add enough advantages to really justify its price tag. For more details, check out our full review.

Just bought a Nintendo Switch in the Black Friday sales? Then you’ll want these microSD deals

Amazon is discounting 30% or more off Samsung storage over the Black Friday and Cyber Monday weekend, and Nintendo Switch owners might want to check it out. 

Among the savings on internal and external SSDs, a couple of variants of the Samsung EVO Select microSDXC cards are available (not in the UK? Check out Black Friday savings on Samsung memory cards where you are below). 

We've not tested this particular card with the Nintendo Switch, but it adheres to Nintendo's own site's compatibility requirements. That is, it's a microSDXC card of over 64GB capacity that's UHS-I compatible. 

If you're a PC owner, too, Samsung's 970 Plus NVMe 1TB drive is its best ever price on Amazon. Check out the deals below:

Increasing your storage capacity on Nintendo Switch is critical. Every week, new digital sales bring the prices of indie games (and sometimes, Nintendo's own games) crashing down, and the internal storage fills up very quickly. How are you ever going to fill that thing with Resident Evil games if you don't upgrade?

If you don't live in the UK, no worries. Here's a quick price comparison chart on the Samsung Evo Select where you are.

This MacBook Pro 16-inch Black Friday deal is something we weren't expecting – but it's a very welcome surprise indeed.

Apple has only just released this laptop, which in our MacBook Pro 16-inch review, we stated that it's the best MacBook ever, so to see a price cut so soon for Black Friday 2019, especially such a big price cut, is pretty exciting.

Hurry! This brilliant half price Samsung Galaxy S10e deal from Argos is back for Black Friday

One of the best Black Friday deals we've seen this year has been the half-price, Canary Yellow version of the Samsung Galaxy S10e from Argos. Naturally, it sold out very quickly, but we have good news – it's back! So if you're looking for a bargain Android phone, it's time to snap one up quickly.

The Galaxy S10e isn't a bargain basement phone by any means – it's one of Samsung's finest handsets, taking many of the highlights of the Galaxy S10 and putting them in a more affordable phone. At just £334.50 for the Canary Yellow, it offers fantastic value – so much so, that this deal sold out rapidly when it was live before. 

If that model's a little too bright for your tastes, the Prism Green version is also available for a similarly impressive £399. This price still undercuts many of the refurbished versions of the phone, and saw the deal also sell out quickly when it went live previously.

The lowest price around on the Samsung Galaxy S10e:

Not a fan of the green Samsung Galaxy S10e?

While these discounts are incredible, Argos is only dropping prices on the two more colourful versions of the handset. If you would prefer to grab something in white or Black, Argos won't be the way to go.

However, a recent sale from Amazon can secure you the handset at just £499 and will even throw in a free speaker for good measure!

What's so good about the Samsung Galaxy S10e?

Yes, it isn't quite as powerful as its brothers the Samsung Galaxy S10 and Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus but, it more than makes up for that with its impressively affordable pricing.

Whether its due to its bright, 5.8-inch AMOLED display, the internal 3100mAh battery or the dual camera set-up, this feels like a phone pushing past its price tag with ease. It even offers up an IP68 rating and more than enough processing power to get you through most tasks.

Red Dead Redemption 2 PC players get free stuff to make up for all the bugs

You may recall that when Rockstar tweeted its apology for the various issues that have plagued the PC version of Red Dead Redemption 2 – including the dreaded stuttering – a complimentary care package was promised to anyone who had played from launch “through to the holiday season”.

Well, that bonus bundle of free stuff for Red Dead Online is now available to PC gamers, as Rockstar made clear in a blog post, while also announcing that it believes “the vast majority of performance issues for Red Dead Redemption 2 on PC have now been resolved”. And that any remaining lingering issues will be tackled going forward.

So what exactly do you get? Rockstar notes that players will receive the Prieto Poncho, along with the aforementioned care package to help you better survive in the online mode, which consists of the following:

  • 100 x Revolver Express Ammo
  • 100 x Pistol Express Ammo
  • 100 x Repeater Express Ammo
  • 100 x Rifle Express Ammo
  • 100 x Shotgun Slugs
  • 20 x Shotgun Incendiary Buckshot Slugs
  • 20 x Fire Arrows
  • 20 x Poison Throwing Knives
  • 20 x Volatile Fire Bottles
  • 10 x Potent Miracle Tonic – fully restores Health, Stamina and Dead Eye and Fortifies moderately
  • 3 x Horse Reviver – revives Horse from severe injury and moderately restores its Health
  • 10 x Minty Big Game – fully restores all Cores and yields a Gold Health Core
  • 20 x Baked Beans – moderately restores Health Core and Stamina Core

Loot in your Lock Box

Those who are already playing Red Dead Online and have an existing character should have the care package now, and will just need to pick it up from their Camp Lock Box or any post office.

Folks new to Red Dead Online will get the package within 24 hours of creating a character.

A couple more gifts are also in the pipeline for all denizens of Red Dead Online, namely a variant of the Marino Bandolier, along with a new off-hand holster and an additional care package. This little lot will arrive with the next major update for RDO.

Earlier this week, we found out the date upon which Red Dead Redemption 2 will land on Steam, and that’s happening very shortly – on December 5 to be precise, which is exactly a month on from the initial release of the game on PC.
