Disney+ is adding a new IMAX expanded aspect ratio feature for 13 Marvel titles, including Shang-Chi, which debuts on November 12, the same day the new viewing format launches.

IMAX Enhanced on Disney+ will allow subscribers to experience more of the action at home with an expanded aspect ratio of 1:90:1, which offers up to 25% more picture for select sequences and ensures that the filmmakers' creative intent is fully optimized for the presentation. IMAX Enhanced will also bring immersive DTS sound to the movies in the future.

The titles available in the IMAX Enhanced format at launch include Shang-Chi and The Legend of The Ten Rings, together with Iron Man, Guardians of the Galaxy, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Captain America: Civil War, Doctor Strange, Thor: Ragnarok, Black Panther, Avengers: Infinity War, Ant-Man and The Wasp, Captain Marvel, Avengers: Endgame, and Black Widow.

"Disney, Marvel Studios, and IMAX have collaborated for years to bring the world's most popular films to the big screen, and on Friday we'll start to bring IMAX technology to subscribers with IMAX Enhanced viewing," said Disney+ President Michael Paull. "We're thrilled to create new value for Marvel fans and audiences on Disney+, and we're looking forward to offering even more IMAX Enhanced functionality in the future."

"IMAX, Disney, and Marvel Studios are giving the fans what they want: the most immersive viewing experience throughout the life of a Marvel Studios film, from exclusive theatrical release to the library at-home where they can now watch the Avengers assemble with more picture than ever before." added Rich Gelfond, CEO of IMAX.

Disney+ is the first major streaming service to elevate the at-home viewing experience with IMAX Enhanced, rewarding its subscribers with new ways to re-experience the Marvel Cinematic Universe, including the likes of Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, which were shot entirely with IMAX digital cameras.

In addition, Phase 4 movies such as Black Widow and Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings will also be available to stream in IMAX's Expanded aspect ratio. The Simu Liu-starring feature will be free to all subscribers as part of the Disney+ Day celebrations coming up on Friday, November 12.

Bandai Namco has said that Elden Ring players can expect to see the game run at 'up to' 60 FPS on new-generation consoles and PC when it launches in February.

The publisher confirmed some of the game's performance features on the Edlen Ring website. Perhaps to the disappointment of some players, the game's framerate on PC won't be uncapped at launch and instead will be limited to 60 FPS.

According to the publisher, new-generation consoles will also be able to reach up to 60 FPS, though that does come with a small caveat. In order to push the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S toward that figure, Bandai Namco has indicated that players may need to run the game in performance mode – a feature that will adjust the game's screen resolution and load balancer to approach higher framerates.

While news of Elden Ring's 60 FPS framerate cap may not be what PC players were hoping for, there's still plenty to look forward to. As per the guide, both PC and new-generation console players will be able to run the game at a 4K resolution and have access to HDR support when it launches.

Ray tracing is also being made available on those formats, though Bandai Namco says that this will be via a patch and that it won't be available to Xbox Series S players. At present, the publisher hasn't clarified whether this patch will arrive on launch or at a later date.

Despite the fact that last generation consoles won't have access to Ray Tracing features in the game, the majority will be able to benefit from HDR support, and consoles such as the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X should cater to resolutions up to 4k. That being said, whether accessing the game at 4k or a lower resolution, the framerate on last-gen systems will be limited to 30 FPS across the board.

For a closer look at how those figures correlate to actual gameplay, make sure to check out this piece breaking down the recently released gameplay footage that FromSoftware showed off from the game.

With the holidays coming up, you might be wondering what to get some of your friends or family members as a gift. If they're of a certain age (ahem, my age), there's a good chance they grew up being a fan of Calvin and Hobbes. It's one of the best comic strips ever. That's simply a fact. And right now the hardcover box set of the complete run of Calvin and Hobbes is on sale at Amazon for $78.66.

The list price is $195, and Amazon has it on sale for $117 — but if you clip the coupon on the page, it plummets down to $78.66 at checkout. Not a bad deal for three gorgeous hardcover books filled with delightful art and writing.

The Complete Calvin and Hobbes Box Set Deal

• Get it at Amazon – $78.66 with on-page coupon

The only catch is that the box set is backordered. It'll ship as soon as Amazon gets more in stock, and placing an order now locks in the sale price (which who knows how long it will last). You won't be charged until it ships.

This deal actually makes the hardcover set cheaper than the paperback version, which is a rare thing indeed.

Created by Bill Watterson, Calvin and Hobbes ran from 1985 to 1995. It's about a boy named Calvin (who's something of a troublemaker) and his stuffed-animal tiger that comes to life in Calvin's imagination. All told, Calvin and Hobbes appeared in over 2,400 newspapers during its 10-year run.

This high-quality collection is comprised of three hardcover books, in full color where appropriate, that fit nicely in a sturdy slipcover case. The entire run of the syndicated series is here, presented over 1440 pages. It's a gorgeous collection of what I consider the best comic strip of all time. You won't likely find another deal this good on this collection anytime soon.

PlayStation Direct has started to expand into Europe, with the aim to make it easier for fans to secure a PS5. Germany has launched on November 8, with the UK, France, Belgium, and Luxembourg all coming soon as well.

PlayStation UK tweeted announcing the news, noting that fans should 'stay tuned' for more details coming soon about the UK launch of PS Direct.

PlayStation Direct first launched in the US in 2019, and has opened up registrations to buy a PS5 via the online retail platform.

Germany's store is now live, which will give European fans a glimpse at what will be available via the store when it becomes available elsewhere.

PS5 consoles are listed, but also out of stock, which is expected at the moment. There's also DualSense controllers, in Midnight Black, Cosmic Red, and the base white, plus the Midnight Black Pulse 3D Headset.

Sony says that its aim "is to make it easier for PlayStation fans and gift-givers to shop for consoles, games, and accessories."

The UK has already had its fair share of problems regarding PS5 stock, with Sony seemingly flying in four jumbo jets worth of console stock for the holidays in an attempt to address the shortage. PS5 stock is expected to pick up again near Black Friday sales.

PlayStation 5 shortages still continue, but Sony still continues to break records with its sales, selling 13.4m sold to date, with 3.3 million PS5s being sold within the July-September Q2 period.

Despite the continuing global chip shortage it seems that Sony not having too much trouble shipping PlayStation 5s, so much so that the PS5 is the fastest-selling console in US history.

Hogwarts Legacy is seemingly slated to launch after the theatrical release of Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore in 2022.

Reddit user SeerPumpkin shared a Toy World magazine interview in which Warner Bros. General Manager Rachel Wakley hinted that the release window for Hogwarts Legacy, the highly anticipated open-world action RPG set in the world of Harry Potter, would come after the next Fantastic Beasts movie, though she didn't specify an exact release date.

Speaking about the Wizarding World IP, Wakley touched on some new developments coming through next year. She referred to "two major releases" in 2022, with the first being Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore, which recently moved up in the theatrical release calendar to April 15, and the second being Hogwarts Legacy, which was delayed in January.

"The second major release of 2022 will be for a new console game: Hogwarts Legacy," Wakley told the publication. "The reaction to the trailer has been amazing and it looks set to be a huge success. We know that gaming is such an important part of the market and one that we had to be involved in. From what we've seen, the launch will be well worth the wait and will deliver a unique way for fans to interact with the franchise."

Hogwarts Legacy was first announced at last year's September PS5 event, with a reveal trailer ending on a 2021 release window. However, at the beginning of this year, the game was delayed until 2022. The publisher thanked fans on Twitter for the "tremendous reaction" to the game's announcement while also confirming the new release window.

Hogwarts Legacy is being developed by Portkey Games (WB Game's Harry Potter game division) and Avalanche Software (Disney Infinity) and is coming to PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC, where players will be able to step into the Wizarding World to take control of the action and be at the center of their very own adventure.

The reveal trailer showed all manner of activities you'd expect to see at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, including the sorting hat ceremony and a variety of classes featuring students in robes from all four houses. It also teased Hogsmeade and dangers that players might face outside of student halls such as Dementors and dark wizards.
