You can currently save almost £100 on a Playstation 5 slim thanks to this limited time offer which sees it slashed to £385, with shoppers calling it a 'worthwhile investment' Whether you're a gaming novice or a die hard gamer, upgrading to a new console is something everyone looks forward to. However, it's no secret that consoles can be pricey, especially when they're one of the newest models around. That's why Playstation fans are rushing to snap up this great deal on Amazon, which sees the Playstation 5 slim slashed 20% for a limited time. Usually costing £479.99, it's currently on sale for just £384.95, saving you £95. A brilliant upgrade from the older Playstation 4 model, the Playstation 5 slim has the capabilities for both disc and digital games, so you can download new games or go old school with the physical copy of them. The slim model is also sleek and space saving, measuring 10 x 5 x 1.3 cm and weighing just 5.08 kg. It's much quicker and quieter than the older PS4 model, and has an ultra-high speed SSD for faster loading. It also has adaptive triggers, 3D Audio2 and a whole host of new games to choose from exclusive to PS5, as well as still allowing you to play a backlog of PS4 games. The Playstation 5 Disc model is currently also on sale at Very for £389, saving you £90. Meanwhile at Freemans the PlayStation 5 (PS5) Console with GTA V is down from £519.99 to £409.99, saving you a huge £110 and getting you the added benefit of the most recent Grand Theft Auto game. Comparatively, the latest Xbox model, the Xbox Series X, is £499 on Amazon, whilst the Nintendo Switch (OLED Model) is on sale down from £250.90 to £232. However if you've been keen to get your hands on a Playstation 5, the current Amazon deal is one of the cheapest prices on the market. You can also save on the digital version, as well as the both the standard and digital versions with the addition of the Astrobot game. Amazon shoppers have also praised the Playstation 5 slim, with more than 1500 five star ratings at the moment. One said: 'The PlayStation 5 Slim is a fantastic upgrade from the original PS4. It's sleeker, lighter, and more compact, making it easier to fit into any entertainment setup. The performance remains top-notch with fast load times and stunning graphics. The modular design, including a removable disc drive, adds great flexibility. While it's still a bit pricey, it's a worthwhile investment for any gamer looking to enhance their gaming experience.' Another agreed: 'You immediatley notice the difference between this and the PS4, particularly in loading times. The visual difference comes more when paired with a 4K TV/Monitor. Also fan is quiet, only sometimes the disc drive can be loud when copying a game disc (which can be fixed, as far as I'm aware). Even so, if you are a gamer I'd get this. A clear improvement on its predecessor.' One did caution: 'Great console - but you won't get the free 24-month premium voucher (worth £200+) from buying here so probably better to order from Sony or another retailer directly in the long run.' Whilst another added: 'Everything works fine. The only problems are that the station doesn't come with stands pr a charger for the controller. And for some reason the PS5 slim doesn't have 1TB. It instead has 825 GB like a standard PS5.' However another was thrilled, writing: 'As a pc player this console is great fun and has plenty of great exclusives that look amazing in 4k and perform fantastic they are definitely worth getting into.' Shop the Playstation 5 slim on sale at Amazon now.

Trailer for the Action Thriller 40 ACRES Set in a Famine-Decimated Near Future — GeekTyrant
Magnolia has released the trailer for an upcpming 'bold, no-holds-barred action-thriller' titled 40 Acres . The story is set in the famine-decimated near future where a former soldier and her family struggle to safeguard their farm as they make one last stand against a vicious militia hell-bent on taking their land. In the film, 'after a plague eradicates all animal life, famine spreads across the globe leaving society at war and in ruins, but the Freemans are surviving — even thriving — on their ancestral farm so long as they dispatch the occasional raiding party. 'But what good is surviving the end of the world if it means snuffing out your own humanity? Former soldier Hailey made that choice years ago, believing that isolation was the only way to protect her family. She and her partner Galen fled the collapse along with their children, fenced them off from the world and trained them to fight (and, yes, kill). 'But now Hailey's eldest Emanuel is a young man, and when he meets a young woman in the forest beyond the fence, his need for human contact could place the whole family in jeopardy. The movie comes from director R.T. Thorne, who is making their debut feature film. It stars acclaimed actress Danielle Deadwyler, Kataem O'Connor, Michael Greyeyes, and Milcania Diaz-Rojas. 40 Acres will be released in theaters on July 2nd.

Milking memories of a beloved Hunter rest stop
IT'S been a long time since this popular west Lake Macquarie area has been called The Gap. We know it better today as Freemans Waterhole, a rest stop for food and fuel along a busy back road to Sydney. Not as busy as it once was, of course, when it was a main route down south, but we live in a time of constant change. It all changed for Freemans Waterhole, famous to motorists for decades for its familiar Oak Milk Bar, after the F3 Freeway (now the M1) was finally completed in 1987. Now bypassed, trade began to steadily decline despite several attractions, including a music shell added to the still remote area surrounded by Awaba State Forest. But you've got to say this about the landmark Oak restaurant: it's a survivor. The first sign of impending change came almost 50 years ago, when Lake Macquarie Council renamed Old Maitland Road (the Gap Road) as Freemans Drive in October 1975. Freemans Waterhole was the favourite name for this district hub about 12 kilometres west of Toronto, which brought road traffic along Palmers Road to link up with cars coming from both north and south. Officially, this central site is 40km from Newcastle and also 13km from Cooranbong, 19km from Morisset and 124km from Sydney. Meanwhile, who exactly were the Freemans? The region owes its name to its first European settlers, James and Mary Ann Freeman, who sold cattle and lived in a hut near Wyee with their son about 1860. Just south of The Gap, there was once a small timber settlement called Heatonville, but the name Freemans prevailed. Now sandwiched between two service stations, the old Freemans Waterhole Oak Milk Bar (renamed Oak Dairy Bar) opened in 1967. In its heyday, it was a very popular stopover for travellers, providing hot food and fuel plus picnic facilities, barbecues, toilets, bush walking paths and even an information centre. Not long afterwards, weekend markets came along and a commemorative music shell was erected, followed by a mining museum to highlight the important role played by coal in opening up the Lower Hunter. Freemans Waterhole dairy bar, with its chequered floor, remains one of the last old-fashioned roadhouses, away from life's hustle and bustle. Weekender visited it recently in the pouring rain, a sort of trip down memory lane, and came away pleasantly surprised that the unpretentious, old-world charm that provided wonderful memories for so many visitors in the 1960s, 1970s and the 1980s, remained. It may have been 40 years since I last visited the place, which is actually much changed. For example, there's no trace remaining of the once impressive Mineworkers Memorial and mine museum, or the heritage poppet head from West Wallsend, which once towered over the site beside the road. I assume they may have been where the Shell garage is now, beside the Oak bar. Gone also are the mining machinery exhibits strewn about, or the steam locomotive once set up in the grounds of the mine museum with its special dioramas. Tame wallabies behind enclosures are nowhere to be seen. They all seemed to have gradually disappeared from the early 1990s. To put things in perspective, today's Freemans Waterhole milk bar (sorry, dairy bar) is promoted by Oak as "the last standing of the iconic Hunter Valley milk bars". Since 1967, when this western Lake Macquarie site opened, another two famous Oak sites have faded into history. Oak's once legendary Hexham milk bar (below the present bridge) has long vanished. It was well before my time, but I believe Newcastle Harbour's historic 19th-century lifeboat 'Victoria' was once housed undercover by the road here as well. Motorists also tell me that the equally famous Oak milk bar at Peats Ridge, on the way to Sydney, is also no more, with the site changing hands and now remodelled as a village. Toronto local Joanne recalls that the Freemans Waterhole Oak had wire fences in the grounds many years ago. "We used to be able to connect with the outside through an internal cafe door, now closed," Joanne said this week. "We'd all go out and see a kangaroo or an ostrich. There's nothing now, but the site is very popular these days with bike riders, some even coming regularly from Newcastle." The erection of the Mineworkers Memorial Music Shell at Freemans Waterhole came after five miners died in a rock fall at Wyee State Mine on October 21, 1966. It was the worst such disaster in NSW. Calls went out for a suitable memorial for the dead miners, and six years later, the music shell was opened on May 14, 1972. A mining museum was later added and, according to Lake Macquarie Libraries, labour for the project was all voluntary, with funding coming from mining lodges, mine companies, government grants, the Joint Coal Board and private donations. The Hunter Valley Dairy Co-operative had agreed to lease land on its Oak Park for the memorial. A driving force behind both the memorial and museum (opened in 1977) was former colliery carpenter 'Mick' Jurd. He also designed and built nine museum models showing early northern mining operations. The museum was described as unique, being the only museum in the southern hemisphere to have animated working models dealing exclusively with coal mining. The museum then operated for 14 years. Unfortunately, with highway trade declining after the freeway opened in 1987, the music shell and octagonal museum sadly became derelict. The buildings were then reported demolished around 2010. Although once under threat, the poppet head on the site was saved and gained a new lease of life. It was moved and reassembled at Argenton, behind the Mines Rescue Station. It has been a lake landmark there since 2009. The poppet head had originally come from West Wallsend Colliery, where it was installed in 1884, standing about 72ft (22 metres) over the site there. It was claimed to be the first poppet head made of steel in Australia. IT'S been a long time since this popular west Lake Macquarie area has been called The Gap.

Myleene Klass, 47, shows off her incredible abs – 19 years after iconic I'm a Celeb white bikini moment –
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) MYLEENE Klass showed she's still got the stomach for it, almost two decades after her now infamous I'm A Celebrity shower scene. The 47-year-old looked more toned than ever, as she showcased her impressive abdominals during a home workout session. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 6 Myleene Klass said she's never felt better Credit: Instagram 6 Myleene is a brand ambassador for Freemans Credit: Instagram 6 Myleene joked that she's paying her bikini tax Credit: Instagram 6 Myleene in her 2006 white bikini shower scene on I'm A Celeb Credit: ITV Loose Women star Myleene pouted for the camera as she lifted weights, while also showing off a Freemans bikini, a company she works for as a brand ambassador. And while her iconic white bikini moment, from the shower on I'm A Celeb happened 19 years ago, she did more recently prove that she can still slip into white swimwear just as easily. In March this year, the former Hear'Say singer sizzled in a white bikini in a video, shot for the same fashion retailers. She captioned that video: "You've been buying my bikinis for 18 years bestowing on me the title of UK's longest running celebrity brand. Thank you to my loyal supporters. Can't wait for you to see my new range." She then added that despite being set to hit the half-century mark on her next big birthday, she harbours no plans to stop wearing revealing swimwear. She said: "This age thing is a funny one, I've never felt better, it is time to embrace and celebrate who we are. "As to the fashion rule book – I've got news for you, there isn't one. "It's all about finding clothes that make you look and feel fantastic." Despite her sexy shower scene being one of the more memorable moments on the 2006 series of I'm A Celeb, it wasn't enough to see Myleene crowned Queen of the Jungle that year.
