If you still get a basket of goodies from the Easter Bunny, it’s probably filled with chocolates, jelly beans, and perhaps a minor gift or two (Steam gift card, maybe?). Maybe this year the furry home invader will leave a high-tech surprise, too. If you don’t want to bank on it, however, you can take matters into your hands with an absolutely massive discount on an iPad Pro. You have to be fast, though. Today’s ‘Deal of the Day’ at Best Buy is Apple’s 12.9-inch iPad Pro (6th Generation) for $1,199 (save $1,000), which is a 45% discount over MSRP. It’s packed full of storage, too—this is the 2TB model (the most available), not the 256GB SKU. The only caveat, other than it being a one-day discount, is that the offer is specific to the silver colorway. If you want the Space Black variant instead, pricing leaps to $1,599. That’s still a sizable $600 discount (you can use the same link—just select the alternative color option), but we don’t fancy paying an additional $400 just for a color change. The 6th gen model
Leading gaming peripheral maker Corsair has released two pieces of gear that caters to hardcore fans and enthusiasts alike. For audio, the Void Wireless v2 headset now boasts 70 hours of run time, Dolby Atmos spatial audio support, quick switching between wireless connections, and lighter weight. Under its Fanatec sub-brand, the new CSL Elite Steering Wheel, modeled after the Porsche Vision Gran Turismo, isn’t just bound to cause fans to salivate uncontrollably, but also bring heaps more control to their sims. Sporting premium materials, ergonomic dials, knobs, and buttons up the ying-yang, the wheel is bound to be a hot seller. Corsair has launched an upper mid-range gaming headset called the Void Wireless v2, a follow up to the popular Void RGB Elite. Both share the same unique arrowhead earcap design with folding boom mic on the left. Where the ‘older’ model settled for 7.1 surround sound support, the Void Wireless v2 adopts Dolby Atmos to give players greater in-game spatial awareness, i.e. increased pin-

Microsoft is bringing several changes to the myriad of devices that Xbox gamers use to engage with the platform. These changes include often requested features for the Xbox mobile app and opening up the Stream Your Own Game feature to more machines. However, the new ways players can access remote play might feel like a downgrade to some. The Xbox community has long asked for the ability to manage account actions within the Xbox app, such as being able to buy games and DLC, sign up for Game Pass, and redeem perks offered by Microsoft. The company has been listening and will be adding all of these features “soon,” although beta users can test these out before they’re made available to the rest of the user base on Android and iOS. Meanwhile, Xbox consoles will finally be able to make use of Stream Your Own Game, which was previously only available on Samsung Smart TVs, Amazon Fire devices and the Meta Quest headset. Players can visit their game library to see which of their games are available by looking for a c
Discord users in the United Kingdom and Australia may soon have to navigate through a new age verification process. The company is currently listing the new process as an “experimental” feature, and for now, it’s only available in those countries. It’s a response to governments in the UK and Australia passing laws meant to restrict under aged users from accessing sensitive content online. Discord says users will be prompted to verify their age when encountering two situations in particular. The first is when users “encounter content flagged by our sensitive media filter,” while the second is “when you try to change your sensitive content filter settings.” While the rollout appears limited, it’s not hard to imagine that having to pass some form of age verification will become a requirement to even start using the service. When a user runs into the situations described by Discord, there will be two options presented to them to verify their age. The first option will be to perform a face scan, which will require
