Thank your own personal deity—possibly The Four Heavenly Kings—it's Friday! I'm not going to chew ears off this morning because there are some serious deals afoot. If you're after one of the best VR headsets ever made (and not one but two PCVR bundles to throw at it), then it's your lucky day. Likewise, if you don't have Pro budget liquidity but you need a PS5 console (and with a disc drive no less), now's your time to strike. Happy hunting.

In retro news, I'm celebrating the 17th birthday of DS darling Sonic Rush Adventure. As a fan of the blue dude with the 'tude, I fondly remember SRA as a beacon of light and hope in dark times; it released in the wake of the brand-wounding 2006 reboot of Sonic the Hedgehog (IGN: 4.8). All in all, just a slick platformer with excellent 2D/3D element blendings across two-screen tall level designs. Annnd by reminiscing, I've just incepted myself into a weekend replay where I'll re-find all 7 Chaos and 7 Sol Emeralds to unlock Super Sonic and Burning Blaze, respectively.
