Sure, Spider-Man: Miles Morales and the Dark Souls remake are getting most of the PlayStation 5 love, but Sony's most significant next-generation launch game may be Astro's Playroom. It's a showpiece for the new DualSense controller's haptic capabilities, which includes finely tuned rumbling and adaptive triggers with adjustable tension. Best of all, you can start playing it on your PS5 right away; it's pre-installed on every system. Just like with Astro Bot Rescue Mission on the PlayStation VR, the diminutive robot is the ideal guide as Sony breaks new ground with hardware. As I mentioned in my PlayStation 5 review, simply booting up the game jolted me awake -- it vibrated in my hands as if it was the one holding me.

Columnist Jennifer Jolly shares her secret to finding out-of-stock and hard to find holiday gifts. The PS4 Pro is worth the price upgrade if you have or plan to buy a 4K TV. For video game fans, this is the most wonderful time of the year. By mid-November, the biggest video games have reached store shelves and digital store fronts. And with Black Friday approaching, there are plenty of deals on both games and hardware to go around.

E3, the video game industry trade show, is dead. Long live E3 the consumer-facing show. Faced with an adapt-or-die situation the ESA's chosen to adapt, inviting 15,000 members of the public to attend the 2017 Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles next week. Maybe we'll see you there. For the rest of you, the next week will pass as usual, in a flurry of game announcements, demos, and trailers--and Microsoft's grand reveal of Xbox's Project Scorpio console.

Whether you should upgrade to Sony's high-powered model of the PlayStation 4 video game console depends on one device: your television. But unless you own a 4K TV or plan to buy one soon, Sony's standard video game console will still serve you just fine. For those who want to make the pricer move to 4K, setting up the PS4 Pro is no different than the standard PS4. Users plug in the included HDMI cable to their television, fire up the console and go through the setup process, including logging on or creating an account for PlayStation Network. If you already own a PS4, users will be prompted to transfer everything from their current console to the Pro. An Ethernet cable is required to perform the transfer.

Tens of thousands of people are calling on Parliament to recall the "most extreme spying powers ever seen". The Investigatory Powers Bill was just passed through the House of Lords and so is now just weeks away from becoming law. But signatories to a new petition hope that process can be stopped, forcing lawmakers to keep the new powers from being published. The new law forces internet companies to keep a full browsing history of all of their users and give it up to a huge range of government agencies if they are asked. It also gives spies unprecedented powers to read people's messages, as well as forcing technology companies like Apple to hack into their own phones if they are asked.

Apple's iPhones and iPads are losing the battle against Android devices. That's according to a new study by mobile diagnostics firms Blancco Technology Group (BTG), which claims that Apple's devices are less reliable and experienced a bigger failure rate than their Android counterpart, driven by bugs in the iOS 10 update. For the purposes of the report the word "failure" refers to any number of problem including instances of apps crashing, connection difficulties and overheating. About 62 per cent of iOS devices suffered performance failures in the third quarter of 2016 compared with 47 per cent of Android devices, the report found. The iPhone 6 was the main culprit with the highest failure rate of 13 per cent.

The House of Lords has passed the Investigatory Powers Bill, putting the huge spying powers on their way to becoming law within weeks. The bill – which forces internet companies to keep records on their users for up to a year, and allows the Government to force companies to hack into or break things they've sold so they can be spied on – has been fought against by privacy campaigners and technology companies including Apple and Twitter. But the Government has worked to continue to pass the bill, despite objections from those companies that the legislation is not possible to enforce and would make customers unsafe.

WhatsApp has temporarily suspended giving parent company Facebook information about users in Europe for ad targeting, responding to concerns there over privacy, a source close to the matter said Tuesday. Conversations with officials in Europe over the past few months resulted in the social network deciding to only tapping into WhatsApp user data there for purposes such as fighting spam, according to the source. The break was described as an effort to give regulators time to share privacy concerns and for Facebook to consider ways to address them. German data protection authorities in September cited privacy concerns when they blocked Facebook from collecting subscriber data from WhatsApp there. "It has to be (the users') decision whether they want to connect their account with Facebook," Hamburg's Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information Johannes Caspar said at the time.
