The Xbox One X is about two months old now, which means there hasn’t been much time for deals involving the system. Those in the market for one right now have some good options to choose from, as a pair of retailers have promotions centered around Microsoft’s powerful console.

First and foremost is one on Ebay being offered by highly rated seller Antonline. It drops the usual $500 price of the system down to $460 and throws in a free copy of Overwatch: Game of the Year Edition. That’s the version of the game that includes everything from the earlier Origins Edition along with some free loot boxes. This Xbox One X bundle is new and unopened, with free shipping available in the US, though it can also ship to other countries. A limited quantity is available; there’s no telling when this will sell out, so you should act quickly if you’re interested.

Alternatively, Antonline is also offering a nice deal through Newegg. Over there, you can pick up the console for $499 and receive a free $50 gift card to Newegg, which can be spent on games, controllers, or anything else the site sells. Free shipping is also available with this offer, which runs through Saturday, January 13. Through Newegg, Antonline also sells an Xbox One X bundle with PUBG and Ghost Recon: Wildlands for $519, or PUBG and Overwatch: Game of the Year Edition for $530.

There’s a short time left to take advantage of a previous Newegg promotion, which throws in free copies of Titanfall 2 and Mass Effect: Andromeda with the system for $500. Prior to that, Microsoft was giving away copies of PUBG with a purchase of the console, but that has now ended.

The Xbox One X is at its best when paired with an HDR-capable 4K display, but even those with 1080p TVs stand to benefit from its additional horsepower. For an idea of what to expect, check out our Xbox One X review.

Despite being an obvious prospect, we’ve yet to see any kind of Game of the Year-style edition of Final Fantasy XV. However, it now looks as if Square Enix may have such a version on the way in the near future, if a newly published ratings board listing is any indication.

The ESRB has published a rating for something called Final Fantasy XV: Royal Edition, which is coming to both Xbox One and PS4. The rating itself doesn’t provide any information about what this is, instead largely re-stating what the original game’s ESRB rating explained (albeit with some further specificity about the types of firearms you’ll use). However, it’s not hard to guess what this might be.

With all of the announced DLC episodes now available, it seems likely that Royal Edition will bundle the base game with the content released to date. XV director Hajime Tabata said recently that he hopes to release more DLC packs for the game in 2018, but with expansions focused on party members Gladio, Ignis, and Prompto having already been released, Square Enix looks to be ready to re-package the game. Given that Royal Edition has already received an ESRB rating, such a release is likely not too far off.

As of yet, Square Enix has not made any official announcements about Royal Edition. We’ve followed up with the publisher and will report back with any details it shares. We do know that the company’s plans for Final Fantasy XV this year include the much-anticipated PC port. The company has also teased that 2018 will be a “big year” for the Final Fantasy franchise.

The Golden Globes is one of the year’s big movie and TV award ceremonies, and it is usually most notable for providing a hint of what is likely to do well at the Oscars the following month. This year’s was different, however, as it was the first major ceremony to be held in the wake of the various sexual harassment scandals that have rocked Hollywood over the past few months.

As a result, there were a variety of references to these issues made from the stage. Host Seth Meyers confronted them head on from the start. “There’s a new era under way, and I can tell because it’s been years since a white man was this nervous in Hollywood,” he said, before making explicit reference to disgraced producer Harvey Weinstein. “Don’t worry, [Weinstein] will be back in 20 years when he becomes the first person ever booed during the In Memoriam [section of the ceremony].”

Meyers also took shots at another two famous figures who have been caught up in the scandals–Kevin Spacey and Woody Allen. “I was happy to hear they’re going to do another season of House of Cards,” he said. “Is Christopher Plummer available for that, too? I hope he can do a Southern accent, because Kevin Spacey sure couldn’t.”

As for Allen, Meyer made reference to Guillermo Del Toro’s acclaimed fantasy The Shape of Water. “I have to admit, when I first heard it was a movie about a naive young woman falling in love with a disgusting sea creature. I thought, Man, not another Woody Allen movie.”

Natalie Portman made a veiled criticism of the fact that although the drama Lady Bird won Best Comedy or Musical and Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical (for Saoirse Ronan), the film’s director, Greta Gerwig, was not nominated. “Here are the all male nominees,” the actress said before reading the names of the five men who were up for the award. In addition, many of the female stars and nominees present wore black gowns to stand in solidarity with victims of sexual assault and harassment.

But the evening’s most powerful speech came from Oprah Winfrey, who received the Cecil B. DeMille lifetime achievement award. “I want all the girls watching here, now, to know that a new day is on the horizon,” she told the audience. “And when that new day finally dawns, it will be because of a lot of magnificent women, many of whom are right here in this room tonight, and some pretty phenomenal men, fighting hard to make sure that they become the leaders who take us to the time when nobody ever has to say ‘Me too’ again.”

In terms of the awards themselves, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri and Big Little Lies were among the big winners. Three Billboard‘s wins included Best Picture, Drama, along with acting awards for Best Actress (Frances McDormand) and Best Supporting Actor (Sam Rockwell).

HBO’s limited series Big Little Lies was also a big winner, taking home wins for Best TV Limited series, Best Performance by an Actress in a TV series (Laura Dern), Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a TV show (Alexander Skarsgard), and Best Performance by an Actress in a Limited Series (Nicole Kidman).

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is receiving a new patch for its Xbox Game Preview version, offering what developer Bluehole calls “incremental” improvements, including to the frame rate.

The PUBG Development and Community Team posted the announcement along with other patch notes on the PUBG Forums.

Frame rates on both client and server sides have been increased slightly, and some VFX have received slight optimizations. A number of crash-inducing issues have also been addressed, as well as a UI issue that occurred when multiple players attempted to loot from the same object.
