Christmas is in the rear view mirror, which means your needs have likely been filled by an onslaught of gifts from loved ones. But there’s a good chance someone gifted you cash or gift cards. If that’s the case, by all means, let us help you find a way to use them up with today’s best deals:
Sony released the PlayStation Classic on December 3, confirming rumors that it was working on a competitor to Nintendo’s line of miniature consoles. One of the surprises was the system’s $100 price tag, which is higher than Nintendo’s NES and SNES Classics, which cost $60 and $80 respectively. The price isn’t such a big problem this week, because many retailers currently have the PlayStation Classic marked down to $60. That’s 40% off a product that released less than a month ago.
PlayStation Classic is a miniature version of the original PlayStation console from 1995. It comes with 20 PS1 games loaded onto it and two full-sized controllers so you and a partner can play the games that support couch co-op. You can find the full list of the games included on the system below.
Deals this good don’t tend to last long, so if you’ve had your eye on a PlayStation Classic, now is a good time to grab one. Fair warning, though: in GameSpot’s PlayStation Classic review, critic Peter Brown wasn’t thrilled with the retro console. “The PS Classic doesn’t feel like a celebration of PlayStation’s formative years the way Nintendo’s systems do,” he wrote.
Speaking of Nintendo’s mini console series, if you want an NES or SNES Classic, you might want to pick it up soon, because Nintendo is about to cease production of the miniature consoles. In the meantime, you can still find them in stock at several retailers.

NASA’s InSight spacecraft has taken its first selfie on the planet of Mars. The lander used its robotic arm to take 11 images that are combined together to make up the photo.
According to NASA, the same imaging process is used on the Curiosity rover mission. The photo shows InSight’s solar panel, science instruments and its entire deck.

Along with the selfie, a first look at InSight’s “workspace” has been shown to Mission team members, which is comprised of a 17 x 7 foot space of terrain in front of the lander that was captured in 52 individual photos.
Kentucky Fried Chicken announced the fried chicken-scented 11 Herbs & Spices Firelog just in time for the holidays.
The log, which can be found on KFCfirelogs.com, is produced by Enviro-Log and is made of 100% recycled materials (just hopefully not chicken gizzards). With no shelf life, it can be burned for up to 3 hours, though KFC warns that it “may attract bears or neighbors who are hungry.” KFC also insists that, no matter how great the log smells, you cannot eat it.
Introducing the 11 Herbs & Spices Firelog from Enviro-Log®, the best way to make a fire smell less like fire and more like fried chicken. Get yours today at https://t.co/u2baCmHQYF. pic.twitter.com/y4TRf4cqQs
With over 500 TV shows currently on the air, it’s easier than ever to miss the true gems. It’s impossible to keep up with all the shows we know about and want to watch, much less the ones out there we may have never heard of. So with everyone’s hectic lives and busy schedules in mind, we’ve comprised a humble year-end list for some of the best TV shows of 2018 that might have flown under your radar.
A few of these series are, yes, more notable than others, and on popular premium networks, but – again – with the glut of programming out they might need another call out to wind up on your must-watch list. The rest of the shows are honest to goodness sleepers and it’s more than understandable why they’ve gone relatively unnoticed.

Jordan Peele’s next horror movie is just right around the corner, and since his last film Get Out was such a huge success, Us should be on everyone’s “must watch” radar. Today, on Christmas Day, the very first trailer was released for the upcoming film, which releases in March.
In the first trailer, which you can see above, the movie follows a family who goes on vacation. They quickly find themselves being stalked by a deranged family. However, these psychopaths has something peculiar about them. They look exactly like the people they’re hunting.
Us stars Lupita Nyong’o as Adelaide Wilson, Winston Duke as Gabe Wilson, and Elisabeth Moss and Tim Heidecker as members of the Tyler family. The film also features Yahya Abdul-Mateen II from Aquaman and Anna Diop from the DC Universe streaming series Titans.
Additionally, Peele has more in store for fans in 2019, as he’s producing and hosting CBS All Access’ new Twilight Zone. So far, we’ve only seen a teaser for the new show, and the only other information that’s been released is that Marco Ramirez (Sons of Anarchy, Daredevil) will serve as writer and showrunner.
Us comes to theaters on March 19, 2019.
