Just after the grand ‘Wonderlust event' Apple rolled out its most awaited iOS 17 on September 18 for most iPhone users. It has brought some amazing features with its final upgrade. iOS 17 was announced in June and since then only beta updates have been available. Now that it is finally here, the interminable gap between the announcement and the actual rollout, is much more acceptable simply because of the huge changes and benefits made available to all by Apple. Users are quite excited now that it is finally here. One of the many mind-blowing features of iOS 17 is Live Voicemail. This is a revolutionary feature that can save you from a lot of unwanted calls that usually end up wasting time or leaving you stressed and frustrated. Know what this iOS 17 feature is all about.
New MTG Wilds of Eldraine set gets the most anime trailer that has ever anime-d
07.09.2023 - 10:51 / gamesradar.com / New
The latest MTG set, Wilds of Eldraine, just received the quintessential anime trailer.
Starring the set’s two central characters (royal siblings Rowan and Will, who are at odds over how to save their fairy tale kingdom following a disaster), it’s got everything you’d expect from classic anime; dramatic sword duels with extreme closeups, flashbacks to happier memories, dramatic lightning effects, heartfelt dialogue, and a song that slaps. In short, it’s a pretty cool way to kick off MTG Wilds of Eldraine.
You can check it out below.
MTG Wilds of Eldraine is basically dark Disney; it takes and twists fairy tale icons so that they fit in with one of the best card games. It launches on Friday September 8, and you can pre-order it via the usual suspects. Some actually have money off the cards right now; as an example, you can get certain Commander decks and a bundle for up to 13% less at Amazon. (Unfortunately, there's no UK equivalent right now.)
Chief among these is the Virtue and Valor Commander deck, which is currently $34.99 at Amazon instead of $38.99. It’s only a small cut on paper, but so far as I can tell, that’s the cheapest it’s ever been.
Virtue and Valor Commander deck | $38.99 $34.99 at Amazon
Save $4 - Although it's only a $4 saving based on the Amazon listing, Commander decks for this new set normally go for something closer to $50. That makes this a pretty great offer on the whole, with a bigger saving than initially advertised. That's the cheapest it's been so far as I can tell, too.
Buy it if:
✅ You don't like to faff with drafting
✅ You have friends with Commander decks
Don't buy it if:
❌ You don't know anyone who plays
❌ You want a Fey and fairy deck
Price match: Walmart $43.94
It’s been a busy month so far for card games; the latest challenger to MTG, Lorcana, just launched. Indeed, Disney Lorcana has been selling so well that a reprint is on the way.

Microsoft finally lays UK regulators' cloud gaming fears to rest—new consultation suggests an end to the drawn-out Activision Blizzard acquisition saga
Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard has been a major source of corporate drama these past few months. Back in April, the UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) moved to block the acquisition, stating «Microsoft’s proposed solution failed to effectively address the concerns in the cloud gaming sector». This block included a massive, 200-plus page findings report that suggests «The evidence we have seen suggests that cloud gaming may be an important disruptive force in the gaming industry.»
Ubisoft Announces The Division 3 in the Most Lackluster Way Possible
In what could arguably be one of the most deflated ways to announce a new game in a series, Ubisoft has revealed that The Division 3 is coming thanks to a tweet announcing Julian Gerighty’s new role at the company. The tweet sees Ubisoft mention the game’s existence in a passing remark as they announce Gerighty’s new position as Executive Producer for the series, and it’s honestly about as unexciting as a reveal can get.
