These new Switch 2 accessories are already discounted
If you, like me, have begun to pick out accessories for your Switch 2 before it arrives on June 5th, here's a money-saving tip: a handful of Hori's upcoming accessories are at least 30 percent off at Amazon. My favorite (and arguably the most stylish) among the bunch is the Puff Pouch carrying case. Its design evokes the look of a puffy jacket, if not quite to the level of premium puffiness of Apple's zip-up case for the Vision Pro headset.
The Puff Pouch zips open and shut, with a handle on one of its long sides. It boasts room for the console, up to six game cartridges, and extra accessories, like a small battery, the power brick, or a webcam. Even though there's a Switch 2 logo patch embroidered into the pouch's fabric, there's nothing stopping you from using it with an original Switch instead. That'll be our little secret. Originally priced at $44.99, this case is $29.99 at Amazon and comes out June 16th.
For an extra $5 (totaling to $34.99 at Amazon), you might prefer Hori's Switch 2 cross-body shoulder bag. It offers a similar amount of storage capacity to the Puff Pouch, and can also be used to tote the Switch 2, or any of the original Switch models. As an alternative to wearing the bag, you can also carry it by hand with its strap. This one comes out June 30th.
The last (for now) discounted Hori product is its Dual USB PlayStand, a small USB hub that gives your console more ports for accessories, much like the TV dock does. It has two USB-A ports for controllers, plus a USB-C port in case you want to keep your Switch 2 charged as you play. Normally $69.99 (whew, that's costly), it's selling at a more reasonable (but still pretty steep) $39.99 at Amazon. This product also releases on June 30th.

The New York Times and Amazon ink AI licensing deal
Nearly two years after suing OpenAI and Microsoft for copyright infringement, The New York Times has agreed to license its editorial content to Amazon to train the tech giant's AI platforms. The agreement will 'bring Times editorial content to a variety of Amazon customer experiences,' the outlet said in a statement. That includes content like news articles, material from NYT Cooking, a site dedicated to food and recipes, and The Athletic, its sports-focused site. The company also noted that Amazon's use of The Times's editorial content could extend to Alexa software on its smart speakers. "Whenever it makes sense within the consumer experience on Amazon's products, they will provide direct links to Times products, where readers can get the full Times experience," Danielle Rhoades Ha, a New York Times spokesperson, told TechCrunch. The terms of the deal were not disclosed, but it's the first of such agreements for Amazon. OpenAI has signed multiple similar deals with publishers, including The Washington Post, The Atlantic, The Guardian, NewsCorp, Axel Springer, and more. This is also the first time The Times is agreeing to a generative AI-focused licensing arrangement, and it comes after the outlet accused OpenAI and Microsoft of using millions of articles published by The Times to train their AI models without consent or compensation. "We have a long-standing approach to ensure that our work is valued appropriately, whether through commercial deals or through the enforcement of our intellectual property rights," the spokesperson said. Both OpenAI and Microsoft have rejected allegations of wrongdoing. This article has been updated with comments from The New York Times.
