The Special Edition controller will be available starting on October 20th for $84.99 through Walmart and in addition to layers of blue it features Pureisutēshon, the Japanese spelling of PlayStation, written on the back in Katakana characters. It’s part of a wider selection of PlayStation merch coming to Walmart including bags and figures.

The company released a new collection of Switch 2 accessories including cases, controllers, and screen protectors, but the standout is the Afterglow wireless gamepad featuring a fully transparent shell and color-changing LEDs inside. The $64.99 controller is cheaper than Nintendo’s while also offering upgraded drift-resistant TMR thumbsticks.

When it launched last November, Rode’s $149 Wireless Micro system was a smaller and more discreet alternative to the company’s Wireless Go II. The mics are now slightly less discreet with three new bright color options including blue, red, and an orange that looks similar to Apple’s, and they’re cheaper at $99.

Enjoy The Ride Records has released a 12-inch EP version of musician Gamer Boy’s Disappearing Lines: Chiptune Music of Tetris album. There’s a couple different versions available for $22.99 each, but they all feature a zoetrope screenprint by Drew Tetz that creates a falling tetromino animation as they spin.
