How to pre-order Microsoft's Limited Edition 20th Anniversary Halo Infinite Xbox Series X
If you are an Xbox fan, there's a good chance you already own one of Microsoft's newest game consoles.

PNY launches low-profile XLR8 desktop memory for PC gamers
For those of you that build your own desktop computers, you know that the brands you choose matter. For instance, if you opt for an unknown company for your RAM, power supply, or storage, there is a very good chance you will run into problems. This is why I always recommend sticking with reputable brands -- saving a few bucks is never worth it if you end up troubleshooting crashes.
PNY is a company that has been around for a long time, and its products are generally very reliable. Today, PNY launches new memory under its popular "XLR8" gaming brand. Available in 2666MHz, 3200MHz, and 3600MHz speeds, this RAM is notable for being low-profile despite the inclusion of heat-spreaders. In other words, if your gaming PC build is tight for space and can't accommodate taller sticks, this low-profile option could prove to be wonderful.
