EB Games Walks Back Pokemon 30th Anniversary TCG Prices, Framing Plan as Scalper Deterrence

EB Games Australia says its Pokemon TCG 30th Anniversary pricing was deliberate to deter scalpers and benefit fans. The retailer will review all preorders, cancel those not meeting purchasing policies, and run a final preorder release composed of cancellations. The final Pokemon 30th Celebration prices will match the Pitch Black pricing, and genuine preorders already placed will automatically move to this price when the final preorder goes live in a few weeks.

Steam Machine Reservations Rally on eBay as Scalpers Price Up to $2.9K

Scalpers are already listing Steam Machine reservations on eBay for $2,700–$2,899, roughly 2–2.5x Valve's official price, before the June 29, 2026 ship date. The 2 TB versions are being sold around $1,349–$1,400, and some buyers have paid these inflated sums. With limited supply, the resale market is thriving, though building a high-end PC (~$2,000) offers markedly better performance.

Xbox pushes back on GTA 6 preorder hype, saying affiliate data isn’t real preorder data

Xbox disputed IGN’s claim that PS5 leads GTA 6 preorders 8-to-1, stressing that affiliate-click data does not reflect actual preorder numbers and urging reliance on official sales data once released. The piece notes the broader, volatile console market and cautions against drawing broad conclusions from affiliate metrics, while also providing context on upcoming Xbox price increases as a sales environment backdrop.

Control Resonant's 48-Hour PS5 Early Access Sparks Pre-Order Debate

At State of Play, Control Resonant was confirmed for a Sept. 24, 2026 launch. Buying the Digital Deluxe Edition grants 48 hours of early access from Sept. 22, but only on PS5, with no equivalent early access on PC or Xbox Series X|S. The PS5-exclusive head start has sparked debate about platform gatekeeping and the direction of preorder incentives, even though the price is the same across platforms and the two-day window may influence release-era scheduling.

GTA 6 Pre-Order Hype Reignites After Best Buy Email Clue

GTA fans have sparked a fresh pre-order conspiracy after Best Buy affiliates reported an email hinting at a GTA 6 pre-order campaign running May 18–21. The email’s authenticity is real, but it’s unclear if it reflects an official Rockstar plan or is automated promotional activity tied to an earnings window. No official pre-order or Trailer 3 has been announced, so fans remain speculative while waiting for confirmation on physical versus digital copies.

Belmont’s Curse lands preorders as Castlevania returns in 2026

Castlevania: Belmont's Curse was unveiled during PlayStation State of Play and is now available for preorder at $40 for PS5, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox Series X, with a 2026 release window. Set 23 years after Dracula's Curse, the game follows Trevor Belmont’s successor in 1499 Paris, emphasizing the Vampire-Killer whip, exploration of secret areas, and classic action-platforming rather than roguelite mechanics. Developed by Motion Twin (Dead Cells) and Evil Empire, the title marks Konami’s renewed Castlevania push, with additional teases like Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 2 and Silent Hill: Townfall in the pipeline.
