PlayStation gamers, you'll need more PS Plus eventually, so why not grab it while it's cheap?
The Lowest Price Yet For the Xbox One Elite
Here's a new low price for the Xbox One Elite, which has a sweet matte black finish, a faster 1TB SSHD for storage, and comes with the Xbox One Elite controller, which is $150 on its own.

Paul McCartney Joins Pirates of the Caribbean 5
Legendary rocker Paul McCartney has joined the cast of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales in a scene not originally planned.
According to a report from Deadline, although the film had already wrapped, directors Joachim Ronning and Espen Sandberg and producer Jerry Bruckheimer decided to add McCartney in for "an extra big set-piece scene."
While no other details were given on McCartney's role, the report states that he won't be part of a re-shoot, but rather an extra scene. And since the film isn't slated to release until May 26, 2017, there's still plenty of time to add it in.
Batman v Superman Team Responds to Negative Reviews
It's ultimately the response from the Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice audience that will determine the film's success, according to Superman actor Henry Cavill.
Following lukewarm reception from movie critics, the Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice team is encouraging moviegoers to put aside the critical response and to see the film for themselves before dismissing it.
"What is really going to matter, I believe, is what the audience says," Cavill told Yahoo! Movies. "Because they're the ones who are buying tickets, they're the ones who want to see more of this kind of story or not and so the audience's voice is the loudest and after this weekend, the audience, at least partly, will have spoken."

Why Foggy Is Ruining Daredevil For Us
Most of us have been steaming through the latest glut of Daredevil-ry this week, but there's a potato-faced bump in the road in form of useless sidekick Foggy Nelson. Not going to lie, some of us feel a tad bad about how hard we laid into him here.
