Sony said that its next-gen PlayStation 5 gaming console will hit stores ahead of the holidays next year, but the company hasn’t announced a firm launch date for the PS5. As with the previous version, a mid-November release would make plenty of sense, since that means the console will be available during the busiest shopping weeks of the year. Sony will be counting on the Christmas shopping season to ship a large number of new consoles to gamers looking to get the best PlayStation experience Sony has to offer. Similarly, Microsoft is expected to launch the next-gen Xbox during the same timeframe, though we don’t have a launch date for the Xbox Scarlett either.

We still have a long wait ahead of us before Sony makes things official, but it turns out that the new PS5’s price and exact release date may have just been revealed in a huge leak.

Like everything else Anker makes, the company’s true wireless earbuds have been universally praised for offering great quality at surprisingly low price points. But if you thought the company’s earlier earbuds were great, just wait until you get a load of Anker’s newest offering. The brand new Anker Soundcore Life P2 True Wireless Earbuds feature a design similar to AirPods, but with even better sound quality and battery life. They also have 4 mics and cVc 8.0 noise reduction, graphene drivers, enhanced bass, IPX7 water-resistance, and fast charging that adds an hour of playback with just a 10-minute charge. They retail for $60 which is already a killer price ($100 less than the cheapest AirPods!), but a special launch discount drops them to $44.99 for a limited time!

Anker Soundcore Life P2 True Wireless Earbuds with 4 Mic, CVC 8.0 Noise Reduction, Graphene Dri…: $44.99

Here are the bullet points from the product page:

• Crystal-Clear Calls via 4 Mics and cVc 8.0 Noise Reduction: Each earbud has two microphones with beamforming noise reduction and cVc 8.0 technology for superior vocal enhancement and background-noise suppression. This ensures your voice is heard clearly on the other end—without interference.
• Incredible Sound Powered By Graphene Drivers: Life P2’s graphene drivers oscillate with extreme precision to girve your music a wider soundstage with exceptional accuracy and clarity across the entire frequency range. Bass is further enhanced by up to 43% by our exclusive BassUp technology which analyzes low frequencies in real-time and instantly intensifies them. aptX audio allows you to stream music with CD-like audio quality thanks to lossless transmission between your device and the wireless earbuds.
• 40-Hour Playtime with Fast Charge: A single charge gives you a full 7 hours of listening, while the charging case extends that to 40 hours. When you’re in a rush and need power fast, simply charge for 10 minutes and get up to 1 hour of playtime.
• IPX7 Fully Waterproof: Life P2 wireless earbuds boast IPX7-rated protection against liquids. The fully waterproof casing allows you to keep your conversation going and the music playing, even if you’re caught in the heaviest of downpours.
• One-Step Pairing: Our proprietary PUSH AND GO technology streamlines the setup process so when you remove the wireless earbuds from the charging case, they’ll automatically connect to the last paired device.

In Netflix’s eyes, everyone reading these words who also subscribes to the streaming giant falls into one of these three categories: You’re either a “starter,” a “watcher,” or a “completer” (and probably more than one of those).

Those are the three categories into which Netflix groups viewers, and far being mere tags that help the service label its subscribers — the numbers herein are no doubt also used by the service to help inform decisions around what to green-light and what to cancel.

So, we’re the BGR Deals team and we’re going to tell you about tons of great deals today, just like we do every day. That said, this is a rare occasion when we can state conclusively that one deal in particular is better than all the others. “Better” is typically subjective, but that’s not the case when it comes to this particular deal. Why? Because this particular deal gives you free money!

Here’s how this crazy Amazon promo works: head to this page and click the button to add the promotion to your account. That wasn’t so hard, was it? Then buy $50 worth of Amazon gift cards and you’ll get a $15 credit on your account within a couple of days. That’s all there is to it! And of course, you’ll add the $50 gift card balance to your own account since you’re obviously going to spend that money with Amazon at some point anyway, so you haven’t spent a dime and you got $15 for free! The one caveat is that the promotion is available only to people who have never bought an Amazon gift card before on the Amazon website. If you’ve purchased physical Amazon gift cards in a store, that’s fine and you can still take advantage of the promo.

Note that you can also try to use the coupon code 19GIFTCARD at checkout instead of going to the promotion page as we detailed above, but people seem to have much better luck with the first method. Just head to the promo page, click the button, then buy $50 worth of Amazon gift cards. Note that if you see anything on that promo page other than some instructions and the button to add the promo, it means you’re not eligible, most likely because you’ve purchased gift cards on Amazon in the past.

Google unveiled the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4XL last Tuesday, finally putting a plug in what seemed like it would be an endless stream of leaks and rumors. A few leaks here and there are great for early adopters who love learning about unreleased devices before anyone else. But there’s a line that can be crossed when things go from exciting to exhausting, and the Pixel 4 series crossed that line about three months ago. We’re not talking about a few minor details here and there followed by a bunch of renders, which is how things work with most phones. We’re talking about full reviews and videos flooding YouTube and giving us up-close and personal looks at the new Pixel phones and most of their features. It was almost like the good old days when BGR was the site doing the leaking, back before we were acquired by a media giant and we could just laugh off all the lawsuits.

Things got so bad for Google that some people actually stopped caring about the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL before they were even made official. When you’ve already seen a new smartphone dozens of times, what’s the big deal about seeing it again? Of course, Google’s press conference ended up reinvigorating most of us because it meant that the phones were on their way to store shelves. And for sites like BGR, it meant we could finally get our hands on the Pixel 4 and check it out for ourselves.

One of the main features of this year’s iOS 13 and Android 10 releases is dark mode, a feature supposed to increase battery life on devices featuring OLED screens dramatically. That’s a side benefit, as dark mode should make it easier on the eyes to use a smartphone or tablet at night or in low-lit environments. However, one of the issues with dark mode is that, while it’s enabled at a system level, some app developers also have to update their apps with dark mode designs so that you can take advantage of dark mode in apps. Google may have brought dark mode to Android 10, but not all of its apps support it. One such example is one of its most popular apps, Gmail, where dark mode had been in testing since September. The good news, however, is that dark mode is rolling out to Gmail users who have Android 10 devices.

If you’ve got a lead foot when you’re behind the wheel — and especially if you’ve got a habit of flooring it when you see a yellow light, to try and make it through before it turns red — we have good news. A Swedish engineer may be responsible for a change in the timing sequence of traffic lights worldwide that could be coming soon.

And it’s all thanks to his dismay over a $260 ticket his wife received a few years ago in Beaverton, Oregon, as a result of being captured by an automated traffic light camera supposedly capturing her running a red light.

Earlier this month the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services issued an update to its ongoing investigation into an outbreak of Legionnaires’ disease linked to a hot tub display at the North Carolina Mountain State Fair. At the time, health officials knew of 134 confirmed cases, including 88 individuals who needed hospital care and two deaths.

Things haven’t exactly improved in the week since that bulletin was issued. Just a couple of days ago, the NCDHHS provided another update to the statistics, this time noting a total of 142 confirmed cases of the disease, including 95 hospitalizations and 2 additional deaths, bringing the death toll to 4.
