Xbox Is Going Wild, The 2025 Controller Hits a Record Low for the Final Day of Prime Day

Gizmodo3 days ago
Microsoft may have gone under the radar for most of Prime Day but at the tail end of the day, the company has dropped a deal that gaming fans will certainly adore. The Xbox gaming controller in carbon black has just hit an all-time low price on Amazon, now priced at only $47, down from its usual $65 (27% off).
This last-minute purchase is an exclusive to Prime members. What makes this deal all the more compelling is the controller's broad compatibility: Xbox consoles, Windows PCs, Android or iOS smartphones and tablets, smart TVs, or even VR headsets.

At this price point, the Xbox wireless controller is a fantastic choice if you're looking to enhance your gaming sessions without spending a fortuneo. The 2025 edition brings a refined design with sculpted surfaces and improved geometry that fit comfortably in your hands. Microsoft has focused on ergonomics so that the controller feels natural and secure – no matter how intense the action gets. One of the best features is the battery life which is up to 40 hours on a single charge so you can play for days straight.
The technical improvements are evident from the very beginning: The new hybrid D-pad provides you with rock-solid control over everything from fast-paced shooters to tricky platformers while the texture on the triggers, bumpers and back-case keeps your fingers firmly in place even during the most frantic moments. The addition of a standalone Share button is also a welcome touch enabling you to capture screenshots or record game footage on the fly.
Sound is another area where the Xbox wireless controller is really good at: The built-in 3.5mm headset jack allows you to plug in your favorite headphones or gaming headset so you can get completely lost in the experience or chat easily with squad members. Personalization is also on the agenda with the Xbox Accessories app giving you the power of button remapping to play the way you want.
This deal hard to pass up, especially at just $47 for Prime Day's final hours. Make sure to grab yours before it's gone.

THE FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS Teaser Trailer Confirms Galactus' Evil Plan — GeekTyrant

The Fantastic Four: First Steps will introduce Marvel's First Family into the MCU's main timeline. It also brings in the cosmic heavyweight Galactus to the party! But the big question on everyone's mind is, why this version of Earth? Why now? Well, a new teaser just revealed the reason, and it confirms a rumor that has been making the round. it turns out Galactus set his sights on Earth not because it's ripe for destruction, but because of Reed Richards and Sue Storm's child, Franklin Richards. In the teaser, the team brought before Galactus by the Silver Surfer. It goes on to reveal the villain's massive frame, but he's hidden in shadow for most of this scene before he arrives on Earth and fully steps out of the shadows. The footage also shows Reed Richards telling the press that in exchange for the Earth, Galactus asked for their son Franklin. Mr. Fantastic told them that is too high a price, something the planet's citizens understandably feel differently about. If you're unfamiliar with Franklin Richards, he's absurdly powerful. He was Introduced in Fantastic Four Annual #6 in 1968, and is a reality-warping, universe-spawning, omega-level mutant who, at full potential, could rival cosmic beings like Eternity. Galactus onbviously sees Franklin as a potential never-ending food source. Franklin's ability to create pocket universes and new worlds essentially makes him Galactus' version of a personal chef. And Galactus is hungry. Before Galactus was Galactus, he was Galan, a survivor of the universe that existed before the current one. After merging with the Sentience of the Universe, he reemerged post-Big Bang as a being of insatiable hunger, one who requires the energy of entire planets to survive. In the comics, he's not evil, he's elemental and necessary, Aand when he sends his heralds like Silver Surfer or Shalla-Bal to scout planets, it's not personal. It's survival. The MCU's Fantastic Four is shaping up to be a story about parenthood, power, and survival on a galactic scale. It'll be interesting to see how Galactus' story arc ends up playing out and if he actually ends wiping out this 1960s-inspired Earth, causing the Fantastic Four to jump realities into Earth-616 setting up Avengers: Doomsday in 2026. The Fantastic Four: First Steps hits theaters July 25, 2025.

On Location: The Original Mr. Beef on FX's THE BEAR

Welcome to On Location, a weekly feature spotlighting landmarks and establishments seen on screen that viewers can visit IRL. Whether you're seeking a fun selfie, breathtaking vistas, or maybe a show-accurate treat, follow along for some bucket list destinations. RELATED: Travel to a galaxy far, far away with our previous On Location article on Valencia's City of Arts and Sciences which appeared on Andor: A Star Wars Story Every second counts on FX's The Bear. But for Christopher Storer, creator, co-showrunner, writer, and director of the hit show, it all began with his frequent visits to the Original Mr. Beef on Orleans sandwich shop. Friends with Chris Zucchero, the son of the original founder, Storer penned and directed the pilot FX ordered in March 2021. And the rest is history, as The Bear's phenomenal success has also translated to huge growth for the Original Mr. Beef on Orleans sales. The Original Mr. Beef on Orleans on FX's The Bear The O.G. Original Mr. Beef started as a beef stand in 1979, established by Joseph Zuccero to serve tasty Italian beef sandwiches to locals and tourists and everyone in between. Today, the sandwich shop still operates at its first location at 666 N. Orleans St. in Chicago. After The Bear premiered, sales for sandwiches went from an average of 250-300 per day to over 800. RELATED: Five Books Fans of The Bear Have To Read Like Mr. Beef on Orleans, The Bear's Original Beef of Chicagoland serves up a traditional Italian beef sandwich, a dish original to Chicago. Simply, it consists of thin slices of roast beef simmered and served with a thin gravy on French bread. Get it 'hot' with spicy giardiniera or 'sweet' with mild bell peppers. Unlike The Original Beef, The Original Mr. Beef on Orleans offers a wider selection of menu items. Besides the signature Italian beef sandwich, there's the Italian sausage sandwich (served dry), a BBQ beef sandwich, and a steak sandwich. More standard fare includes hamburgers, cheeseburgers, and hot dogs (with chili, cheese, or both). They also have four kinds of sub sandwiches. You can also purchase Italian beef with au jus, Italian sausage, and BBQ beef by the pound or their bread by the loaf. Chicago's Restaurant To-Do List After Carmy (Jeremy Allen White) transforms most of The Original Beef space into the high-end The Bear, on-site filming moved to Ever at 1340 W. Fulton St. In a super-meta twist, the fictionalized version of Ever plays a major role in The Bear Season 2 Episode 7, 'Forks,' as well as the Season 3 finale, 'Forever.' It's also the amazing Olivia Colman's entry point in the series as Ever's head chef, Andrea Terry. Unlike its fictionalized counterpart, the real Ever is still going strong. RELATED: Geek Girl Authority Crush of the Week: Sydney Adamu Some other Chicago restaurants that play themselves on The Bear include Alpana, Kasama, and Elske. Any one of them would check off a bucket-list dining experience. It's worth taking a look at some of the comprehensive lists of The Bear's culinary references if you're headed that way anytime soon.
