Save $200 on Amazon's 'best yet' Fire TV and matching soundbar
Getting a TV can actually be a stressor if you're not the type that likes to tinker with things. Since the vast majority of TVs today don't produce great sound, you'll have to go through the hassle of choosing a soundbar. But that's not all! You also have to connect your soundbar to your TV, which isn't always trivial.
That's why we like this deal that saves you $200 on a QLED TV and gives you a matching soundbar that you know will work with it and be easy to assemble. Normally the 50-inch Amazon Fire TV Omni and Fire TV Soundbar bundle would cost $600, but right now you can get it for an impressively affordable $400. Tap the button below to see the deal. Then, keep reading below to get our take on this bundle's components.
Why you should buy the 50-inch Amazon Fire TV and soundbar bundle
The primary ingredient of the bundle is naturally the TV, and it's a pretty great place to start, considering we named it one of the best Amazon Fire TV devices in its own right. When we did our Amazon Fire TV Omni QLED review, we said that it was the 'best Fire TV experience yet.' One reason for this was its hyper-convenient voice assistant feature, while another was its ability to be a smart home hub, quickly connecting to Ring devices and other Amazon-affiliated smart home wares. It has a fantastic screen too, with a solid 4K resolution and HDR 10. This is an approachable TV that anybody can love.
And then there's the soundbar. Our Amazon Fire TV Soundbar review said two things about it that anybody interested in this bundle need to consider. Firstly, 'It doesn't get much simpler than the Amazon Fire TV Soundbar.' If you're intimidated or just can't be bothered to get into the weeds of proper wiring, sound balancing, and the other trappings of advanced home theater creations, this should be music to your ears. This is plug-and-play, that's it. Secondly, our reviewer said that the bar is 'surprisingly immersive' due to its deeper-than-expected bass and emphasis on frequencies with the human voice spectrum, making dialogue sound great.
When combined together, this makes a killer kit at $600. This deal nets you $200 off, making the bundle just $400. It's a steal for anyone wanting a great experience with almost no hassle.

The Latest ‘Sinners' Deleted Scene Showcases a New Musical Number
As Ryan Coogler's Sinners is now available to rent or buy on digital, and its Blu-ray release date approaches, some of the special features have started to trickle out. Last week, a deleted scene showed the construction of Smoke and Stack's juke joint—a fluidly edited montage without dialogue that's entertaining to watch, but ultimately feels kind of superfluous. The most recent deleted scene release, however, is more illuminating, putting a spotlight on Delroy Lindo's Delta Slim as he takes a solo turn at the piano. The song is 'My Preachin' and in the extended shot, Delta Slim sings in profile close to the camera as Miles Caton's Sammie 'Preacher Boy' Moore watches admiringly in the background. You can also spot Pearline (Jayne Lawson) and Mary (Wunmi Mosaku) listening closely too. It's a slower, moodier moment tinged with mischief—maybe the sort of song Delta Slim would tend to launch into at the end of a long, boozy night, rather than while the party is still fully raging, as it would be at this moment in Sinners. Even though it was probably cut for pacing reasons, the scene is still a powerful one, tying into Sinners' themes about how music acts as a bridge between generations and enables emotional expressiveness, whether you happen to be a human or a vampire. It's also quite a lovely showcase for the veteran actor before his character makes his heroic last stand in act three. Sinners' physical release arrives July 8 on Blu-ray, DVD, and 4K; you can rent or buy it now on digital platforms.

Neverwinter Nights 2 Is The Perfect Game For Baldur's Gate 3 Fans
Neverwinter Nights 2 Aspyr While Baldur's Gate 3 might be the current favorite jewel in the crown of Dungeons & Dragons media, it's far from the first. The franchise which began as a tabletop roleplaying game and has since morphed to include blockbuster movies, game of the year-winning video games, best-selling novels, geek culture-defining podcast series, and so much more, has a storied legacy of dozens of classic PC games. And Neverwinter Nights 2 was always one of the most elusive, until now. Developed by Aspyr, Neverwinter Nights 2 Enhanced Edition releases on July 15 for PC (including Steam Deck verified), Xbox, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch. Pre-orders are now live! This Enhanced Edition will include all three of the game's original expansions: Mask of the Betrayer, Storm of Zehir, and Mysteries of Westgate. The original Neverwinter Nights CRPG from BioWare shares a lot of DNA with the first two Baldur's Gate games in that it's from the same developer and is similar in overall gameplay style, but came out several years later under a different publisher. The sequel, Neverwinter Nights 2, was actually developed by Obsidian Entertainment, the folks also known for Pillars of Eternity, Knights of the Old Republic II, Fallout: New Vegas, Grounded, Avowed, The Outer Worlds, and so much more. Plus, Neverwinter Nights 2 takes place in the exact same campaign setting (the Forgotten Realms) as Baldur's Gate 3 so many locations, factions, and overall themes will be familiar. The reason this is the perfect next game for you if you love Baldur's Gate 3 actually goes even deeper than that, though. Besides the DNA and development similarities in genre and franchise, the core gameplay, camera systems, dialogue trees, and overall game feel are also very similar. However, the main difference is that while Baldur's Gate 3 utilizes a fully turn-based combat system, Neverwinter Nights 2 is actually real-time with pause like the first two Baldur's Gate games and the first Neverwinter Nights. What real-time with pause (RTwP) combat entails is similar to Dragon Age: Origins and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. When combat is happening all of your characters are acting in real-time, but you can then pause the game to issue commands about which abilities to use and what to target. This mixes the slow-paced strategy of a turn-based game with the immediate and intense visceral reactions of a real-time combat game. From what we've seen so far, this remaster is going to be wonderful. I've played the Enhanced Editions of Baldur's Gate 1, Baldur's Gate 2, Neverwinter Nights, and Icewind Dale, so if you've dabbled in any of those as well then you understand what to expect here too. Fortunately, you don't need to have played the previous game to jump right in here. Neverwinter Nights 2 Aspyr The base game hasn't aged very gracefully though and, arguably, it's been the most in need of a remaster of the whole bunch if you ask me. Upgrading performance, improving resolution, and streamlining the janky bits so it runs well on modern machines (including consoles for the first time!) is just what the cleric ordered. Fans of Baldur's Gate 3 should definitely have Neverwinter Nights 2 Enhanced Edition high on their to-be-played list for 2025.

Apple's big updates for Intel-based Macs will end with Tahoe

During the WWDC Platforms State of the Union keynote, Matthew Firlik, Apple's senior director of developer relations, announced that macOS Tahoe 'will be the final release for Intel Macs.'

Intel-based Macs compatible with macOS Tahoe, such as the 16-inch MacBook Pro released in 2019, will continue to receive security updates for three years, according to Apple spokesperson Lauren Klug. 'Apple silicon enables us all to achieve things that were previously unimaginable, and it's time to put all of our focus and innovation there,' Firlik said. 'If you've not done so already, now is a great time to help your users migrate to the Apple silicon versions of your apps.' Here's a full list of devices compatible with macOS Tahoe, as shown on Apple's website: MacBook Air with Apple silicon (2020 and later) MacBook Pro with Apple silicon (2020 and later) MacBook Pro (16‑inch, 2019) MacBook Pro (13‑inch, 2020, four Thunderbolt 3 ports) iMac (2020 and later) Mac mini (2020 and later) Mac Studio (2022 and later) Mac Pro (2019 and later) Apple is carrying over its new Liquid Glass design language to macOS Tahoe, as well as several new features, such as a more powerful version of Spotlight, support for the iPhone's Live Activities, and the Phone app.
