Sony Apologizes for Pre-Orders
Pre-orders for Sony's next-gen console, the PlayStation 5, opened shortly after the company announced its release date and price details. To put it nicely, it was a mess. Retailers went rogue and opened pre-orders early -- a day ahead of the Sept. 17 date announced by Sony. Sites crashed and people panicked wondering whether they'd get their hands on a next-gen console or not.

As it turns out, Sony has recognized the error of its ways. "Let's be honest: PS5 preorders could have been been a lot smoother," Sony tweeted from the PlayStation Twitter account on Saturday. "We truly apologize for that. Over the next few days, we will release more PS5 consoles for preorder -- retailers will share more details. And more PS5s will be available through the end of the year."

A week with the Xbox Series X: load times, game performance, and more
The most significant and obvious improvement with existing games on the Xbox Series X is the massive changes to load times. I noticed load times drop in pretty much every single game I've tested over the past week. Games like Sea of Thieves, Warframe, and Destiny 2 have their load times cut by up to a minute or more on the Series X.

In Destiny 2, for example, I can now load into a planet in the game in around 30 seconds, compared to over a minute later on an Xbox One X and nearly two minutes in total on a standard Xbox One. These improved load times are identical to my custom-built PC that includes a fast NVMe SSD, and they genuinely transform how you play the game -- you can get more quests and tasks done instead of sitting and looking at a planet loading.
