Amazon announces new cloud gaming service called Luna
At its 2020 hardware event today, Amazon announced a cloud gaming platform called Luna. The news isn't too surprising: the service has been rumored since last year, previously codenamed "Tempo," while an Amazon-made game controller leaked out just ahead of today's event.

It's not clear when Luna will launch widely, but it will initially be available on PC, Mac, Fire TV, and iPhone and iPad (via web apps), with an Android version planned for after launch. Amazon says that interested users in the US can request early access to the service starting today. There's no word on international availability.

The service will be available for an "introductory price" of $5.99 a month during its early access phase, which gives subscribers the ability to play Luna Plus channel games across two devices simultaneously and offers 4K / 60fps resolution for "select titles." Naturally, it will be powered by AWS, Amazon's ubiquitous web platform.

PS5s will be available to preorder tomorrow at GameStop
Let's be honest: trying to preorder a PS5 has been anything but easy. That said, if you want to try to secure Sony's next-gen console ahead of its November 12th launch, you'll have another shot at nabbing one at GameStop. Both models of the PS5 will be in stock on GameStop's website, though the retailer has yet to mention what time it will open preorders online.

If you'd rather try your luck in person, you can always go to a GameStop near you. And if you decide to brave the line at a physical store, you can either pay for your PS5 in full or drop a $50 down payment to make sure you get one. (Although it's unclear how many or which units each store will have).

Whatever you choose, remember that it's still really difficult to get your hands on a PS5 right now, no matter who you are. And don't even think about trying to find an RTX 3090.
