Cameron Faulkner/PolygonRoss Miller (he/him) is Polygon’s Senior Commerce Editor for the summer. He has nearly 20 years of experience in media and was a founding editor of The Verge.At this week’s Meta Connect event, Meta announced a new entry-level headset, the Meta Quest 3S, which starts at $299.99 for the 128 GB model but also has 256 GB version for $100 more. But the company also dropped the price of its premium Meta Quest 3 headset, with the 512 GB version now costing $499.99 (was $649.99). If you don’t want to wait on the Quest 3S’s Oct. 15 launch, you can still benefit from the lineup refreshments by picking up the top-tier model today at $150 cheaper than it used to cost.Meta Quest 3$430$50014% off$430Meta’s new Quest 3 mixed-reality headset boasts double the graphical processing power of its predecessor, richer audio, and more precise controls for even more immersive VR and AR experiences.Read More$500 at Amazon (512 GB)$500 at GameStop (512 GB)$430 at GameStop (128 GB)This also means the 128 GB version of the Meta Quest 3 is being sunsetted, and while Amazon has already stopped selling that version, GameStop is offering this lower-storage version of Quest 3 for $429.99, or as low as $404.99 if you have GameStop Pro. Even at that cost, we’re hesitant to recommend anyone pick up the 128 GB model — the 128 GB Quest 3S will be more than $100 cheaper, and by all accounts, it looks to be fairly comparable feature-wise. Still, if storage is not an concern and you’re looking for something to have next week, $400 is around the lowest price we’ve historically seen the Quest 3 to date.

Read moreGrand Theft Auto V actor Ned Luke, who played Michael in the incredibly popular game, has spoken out about his thoughts on Grand Theft Auto VI. He said in an interview with Fall Damage (via Dexerto) that he’s confident the game will be “fantastic,” going on to say no one ever knows what to expect from Rockstar Games, and that’s part of the reason why he’s so eager to see what the studio is cooking up.
“You never know what Rockstar is going to do,” he said. “What I tell people is, be patient. It’s going to be worth the wait. From what I’ve seen, it’s going to be amazing. They’re going to blow our [GTA V] numbers away.”
By “numbers,” Luke was referring to the $800 million that GTA V earned in its first 24 hours back in 2013. Luke said he expects GTA VI to make $1.3 billion in …

The first four movies are streaming on Prime Video and Paramount+, and 2023’s Dial of Destiny is on Disney+.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 will have no DRM whatsoever. Tobias Stolz-Zwilling, the PR boss at developer Warhorse, confirmed this during a recent Twitch stream.
The RPG does not use Denuvo or any form of DRM, the developer said, as reported by IGN. Stolz-Zwilling said Warhose had “some discussions” about utilizing DRM to protect the game from piracy, but it was ultimately decided that “it will not have any DRM system at all.”
Stolz-Zwilling said he hopes this brings closure to the ongoing questions from the community about whether or not Deliverance 2 will have DRM.
“Stop texting under every post we do that Denuvo is in the game, because it’s not. We never announced… we never said it will be there. As I said, a bit of a misunderstanding,” he said. “Let’s bury that th…

But if fans were expecting Wade Wilson to have a happy ending, Deadpool and Wolverine is shooting that notion down a month before the film’s release.

According to the report, six years have passed since Wade changed history and prevented Vanessa’s murder Come from Sports betting site VPbet . But there have been some unpleasant e…
Read moreSince the beginning of The Boys in 2019, showrunner Eric Kripke has done just about everything to show audiences that Homelander (Antony Starr) is a villain. He may drape himself in the American flag, but Homelander has killed countless people through three seasons and he’s behaved in very un-heroic ways. Regardless, some fans continue to view Homelander as a hero. As The Boys heads into its fourth season, Kripke doesn’t know what he can do or say to change that perception among Homelander’s fans.
While speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, Kripke not only took on Homelander’s defenders, he also addressed fans who have accused the show of going “woke.”
“Anyone who wants to call the show ‘woke’ or whatever, that’s OK. Go watch something else. But I’m certainly not going to pu…

At a glance, you’d be forgiven for thinking that The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom follows firmly in the footsteps of the 2019 remake of Link’s Awakening. Stick Zelda in as a playable character, give her a magic wand, sell an absolute shed-load of copies. Job done.
But having now played an 80-minute section from early in the game, this comparison seems only surface-deep. Although it shares the extremely cute, diorama-esque aesthetic of its top-down predecessor, Echoes captures much more of the systemic and improvisational joys of Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom than you might expect.
