Destiny: Rise of Iron to Introduce Paid-For Experience Boosts
The Rise of Iron expansion for Destiny will have paid experience boosts, so you can level up quicker using real money.
According to Gamespot, the boosters will increase your experience gain for Crucible, House of Judgement, and Vanguard play.
The boosters will also be available using in-game methods rather than just with Silver, the in-game currency you can buy, but you'll have to find them inside Sterling Treasure Boxes or Radiant Treasures (and you can also buy these with Silver).
There'll be some new emotes and ornaments at the Eververse in this expansion too, including a handful of new dances.

Resident Evil 7 Demo Updated With New Areas
Capcom announced this morning that its Beginning Hour demo for Resident Evil 7 Biohazard has been expanded with new areas to explore.
The demo - which is now available to all PS4 owners, not just those with a PS Plus subscription - now includes new areas and items, and has been called the "Twilight Version".
We'll have our own playthrough for you later today, but social media is already discussing the implications for the demo's mysterious Dummy Finger item, which became the centrepoint of several seemingly unsolvable mysteries around the original demo.
The Last Guardian: Taming Trico … And the Camera
Finally getting to play The Last Guardian was almost surreal, so I’ll cut right to the chase: the section I played has a lot of the same endearing qualities that made Team ICO’s previous games memorable, but that same segment also shares some of those games’ problems – problems that haven’t aged well.
The slice of gameplay I navigated through first made an appearance back at E3 2015, but wasn’t playable until now. It’s later in the adventure, and while Sony has stated that it’s keeping most of The Last Guardian tightly under wraps, I was a bit worried that the secrets of this area had already been revealed to me. Fortunately, it quickly became clear that The Last Guardian is as much a game about minutiae and character moments as it is about puzzle solving and leaps of faith.
Mr. Robot’s Latest Episode Brings Us SO Close to Answers
Warning: Full spoilers for the Mr. Robot episode "eps2.9_pyth0n-pt1.p7z" follow...
Mr. Robot's two-part Season 2 finale was originally schedule to air back-to-back this week, and after the final five minutes of "eps2.9_pyth0n-pt1.p7z," I sure wish it had. I guess the reasoning here, for splitting up the parts by a full week, was to allow the Tyrell reveal (yes, he's actually back!) to resonate a bit more. Though, to be fair, no one really thought he'd been killed off-screen so his return didn't quite bring the "pop" the show may have predicted.
More importantly, with Tyrell's return comes answers about "Phase 2" - the thing we now care about way more than Tyrell's fate or the missing days. Granted, the missing days contain within them the information about "Phase 2" but, overall, the long delay in bringing Tyrell back to the series dampened the moment here.
You’re the Worst: Tragedy Sends Season 3 in a New Direction
The third episode of You're the Worst: Season 3 saw lead characters Jimmy (Chris Geere) and Gretchen (Aya Cash) faced with a new obstacle in their relationship, and creator Stephen Falk didn't initially mean to make life so tough for the couple after the major clinical depression storyline in Season 2. But he found when breaking story on the new season that, as much as he wanted to see the trouble-making duo having fun and wreaking havoc around Los Angeles, it didn't feel true to the story they're telling.
Spoilers for You're the Worst: Season 3 continue below.
"We played around with the idea for a long time of just having Jimmy and Gretchen have fun together, and we could have, but I think at the end of the day it's impossible to write story without conflict," Falk said on the set of the season's third episode, "Bad News: Dude's Dead." "No matter how much we wanted to let them have a good time together -- and they certainly do have a lot of good times together this season -- that's not really how life operates. Something always comes up. Even in times of peace, you're always expecting the other shoe to drop. What's fundamentally interesting about relationships to me is what you do when there's a crisis. I'm less interested in what you do when everything's going fine."
Digimon World: Next Order Coming to the West on PS4
The newest Digimon World game is making its way to PS4 for the Americas in early 2017, Bandai Namco revealed at its pre-TGS event.
Digimon World: Next Order was originally released on PlayStation Vita early this year in Japan. Bandai Namco said that Next Order and Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth were localized partially because of a signature campaign by western fans.
The Digimon World: Next Order PS4 edition has updated graphics, Japanese and English voice overs, and new missions. In Next Order, the player joins forces with Digimon to save the digital world from Machinedramons.

Star Trek Discovery Premiere Delayed
Star Trek Discovery, the upcoming CBS All Access series, will now premiere in May, four months later than previously announced.
Speaking to The Wrap, executive producers Alex Kurtzman and Bryan Fuller said they met with CBS before entering production and decided the extra time was necessary in order to "achieve a vision we can all be proud of."
"Bringing Star Trek back to television carries a responsibility and mission: to connect fans and newcomers alike to the series that has fed our imaginations since childhood," said Kurtzman and Fuller. "We aim to dream big and deliver, and that means making sure the demands of physical and post-production for a show that takes place entirely in space, and the need to meet an air date, don’t result in compromised quality."
Florida Man Received Xbox One Before It Was Unveiled
Microsoft accidentally sent Florida resident Jia Li an Xbox One prototype in March 2013, two months before the company officially unveiled the home console.
Business Insider reports that Li originally ordered a laptop from Microsoft's website, but instead of receiving the computer, the company shipped him the soon-to-be revealed Xbox One. Microsoft didn't announce the system officially until May 2013.

Further complicating matters is the recent appearance of another, perfectly ordinary man who claims to be Clark Kent. Which one of these men is acually the real Superman?
