"Dynamic pricing it is", "prices will surely go up", "this is anti-consumer": the internet reacts with outrage and despair to PlayStation killing off physical media

Longtime Slashdot reader williamyf writes: FireFox 153 was released today. The most important user-facing changes are improvements to PDF handling (you can now merge PDFs and add images to them), and HDR video playback (on Windows, provided HDR is active systemwide).

Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced enjoys the best launch of any AC game on Steam, making avast sum of money there

It's clear by now that Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced has been a success for Ubisoft, even though that's inexplicably resulted in the publisher laying off many of the developers that made it possible. A tally of 2m copies sold on launch day is an impressive number, and new data underlines just how big the launch has actually been on Steam. Read more Read more ›

Denshattack! review

What do Jet Set Radio, the PS1-era Tony Hawk's games, Hi-Fi Rush, and OlliOlli all have in common? Well, aside from being clear influences on Denshattack!, they are all cult classics: games that remain relevant, popular, and influential way beyond their respective eras.
