Following the PlayStation's 5 frustrating preorder process, Sony has apologized and has promised that more will be available to preorder in the next few days and that more will be available "through the end of the year." PlayStation took to to Twitter to share the message, saying the "PS5 preorders could have been a lot smoother." "Let's be honest: PS5 preorders could have been a lot smoother," PlayStation said. "We truly apologize for that. Over the next few days, we will release more PS5 consoles for preorder - retailers will share more details. And more PS5s will be available through the end of the year." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/09/18/ps5-prices-come-out-swinging"] Pre-orders, according to Sony, were supposed to begin the day after the PS5 Showcase that revealed the price and release date of the PlayStation 5 alongside Final Fantasy 16, the sequel to 2018's God of War, Hogwarts Legacy, and much more. However, retailers began pre-orders that same night, and websites were crashing and many people were left without one, even though Sony had previously mentioned that PS5 preorders would not be a surprise. Even those who did secure a PS5 preorder weren't 100% sure they would stick, and retailers like Amazon began sending out e-mails saying it may not be able to deliver them to purchasers on the release day of November 12, 2020. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=confirmed-playstation-5-games&captions=true"] Luckily, it appears people will have another chance to secure one for this holiday season. To help ensure you can get a PS5, be sure to follow our PS5 preorder guide and IGNDeals on Twitter for up-to-the-moment alerts on preorders. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Have a tip for us?

The X-Files-themed Outside In Trusts No One is the seventh volume in the Outside In series of uniquely eclectic critical essay collections on your favorite fictional worlds. When a book contains 156 essays of bewilderingly different styles and approaches, it’s hard to find just one to represent it, but here is just such an excerpt for you to check out! The new book, according to publisher ATB Publishing, celebrates “over 25 years of The X-Files, and nearly 50 years of Kolchak: The Night Stalker.” Kolchak, of course, was the 1970s spiritual antecedent to The X-Files which inspired creator Chris Carter to make his show. More from ATB: “Outside In Trusts No One is a collection of 156 reviews, one for every story of each show. Well, we say ‘reviews,’ but we mean that loosely: Within these pages, you’ll find recipes, union meetings, restaurant ads, time loops, mixtapes, personal ads, a thesis, Venn diagrams, musicals, plays, role-playing games, building-code reports and a color-by-numbers game. Not to mention insightful and thoughtful articles, examining the worlds of shadowy conspiracies, UFOs and monsters of the week from just about every aspect imaginable… and then some!”

Previous volumes of the Outside In series have covered classic and modern Doctor Who, Star Trek: The Original Series, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, and Firefly. The eighth book, Outside In Wants To Believe, will conclude the examination of the extended X-Files universe in 2021 with the remaining seasons of X-Files not covered in the current volume as well as the spin-offs Millennium, Lone Gunmen, and Harsh Realm. Future volumes already planned will tackle Twin Peaks, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Babylon 5, and a revisiting of classic Who to celebrate 10 years of the Outside In series.

Outside In Trusts No One will be released on October 13, but pre-orders are open now at www.atbpublishing.com/xfiles. Read on for an excerpt from the book, based on the eighth episode of Season 1, “Ice.” Pre-order you copy of Outside In Trusts No One now at www.atbpublishing.com/xfiles.

Frank Herbert's landmark science fiction novel Dune has been adapted for the screen a few times over the past forty years - notably David Lynch's 1984 film and the 2000 miniseries on Syfy (then Sci-Fi Channel). Now Blade Runner 2049's Denis Villeneuve is bringing his version to the screen in 2020, starring Timothée Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson, and Oscar Isaac. Before Lynch's version, however, there was a famously failed attempt to bring Dune to the theaters. Director Alejandro Jodorowsky was in pre-production for years on the film, during the '70s, in an endeavor (complete with a script for a 14-hour movie) that would later become the topic of a documentary called Jodorowsky's Dune. Jodorowsky recently watched the trailer for Villeneuve's Dune and...well, he had some thoughts. "I wish his Dune would be a great success, because Denis Villeneuve is a nice director, about whom I have been told a lot," Jodorowsky said to France's Le Point [translation from CinemaBlend]. "I saw the trailer. It's very well done. We see that this is industrial cinema, that there is a lot of money, and that it has cost a lot of money. But if it was very expensive, it must pay off in proportion. And this is the problem: there are no surprises. The form is identical to what is done everywhere, the lighting, the acting, everything is predictable." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/09/09/dune-official-trailer"] "Industrial [Hollywood] cinema is incompatible with auteur cinema," he continued. "For the first, money comes before the work. For the second, it is the reverse. And this, whatever the quality of a director, whether it is my friend Nicolas Winding Refn or Denis Villeneuve. Industrial cinema promotes entertainment, it is a show that is not intended to change humanity or society." You can check out the cast of Dune -- including Timothée Chalamet,  Oscar Isaac, Javier Bardem, and Josh Brolin -- discussing their characters and the themes of the new film here. Also, here's Dune director Denis Villeneuve explaining the meaning and themes of his sci-fi epic, as well as him talking about how he designed the iconic sandworms that roam Arrakis’ deserts. If you're interested in Jodorowsky's Dune, check out the trailer for the doc below...

Happy Batman Day! For his third and final Batman film, The Dark Knight Rises, Christopher Nolan reportedly changed one character's on-screen death because it would have given the film an NC-17 rating. During the movie's final battle, Matthew Modine's Gotham Deputy Police Commissioner Peter Foley is killed after being gunned down by Talia al Ghul's tumbler. In a recent appearance on CinemaBlend's ReelBlend podcast, Modine revealed what was supposed to happen to Foley and why it had to be changed. "[Nolan] cut my death scene out of Dark Knight Rises," Modine explained. "Because he said it was so violent that it would have gotten an NC-17 rating." "After Bane dies and Batman, Chris [Bale] gets stabbed, [Talia] gets in one of those vehicles," he continued. "She starts to drive away, and I’m shooting at her. And I got run over. All it does is, it just cuts and I’m on the ground, dead. But it was so violent. The guy that was doubling me got hit by the car. They put a plexiglass thing on the front of [the car] and he got hit. They had ropes to pull him into the air, but he went up and they dropped him from about 15 feet, and the sound of his body hitting the cobblestone street in front of the New York Stock Exchange, it was sickening. And I remember I looked at Christopher Nolan when we shot it and his face was white. He was like, ‘OK, let's move on. We got that.’ But it was like, ‘Oh my God, is that guy going to get up? Is he okay?’ But [Nolan] said that if he would have put it in the movie, it would’ve got an NC-17 rating because it was so violent." [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=a-visual-history-of-batman&captions=true"] It feels like a big leap for a death, especially the one described, to take a film from PG-13 to NC-17, but even if it had just gotten the movie an R-rating, that wouldn't have worked for Warner Bros. In other comic-book news, Tatiana Maslany (Orphan Black, Perry Mason) has reportedly landed the title role in Marvel's She-Hulk, DC's Harley Quinn animated series has been made an HBO Max original and been renewed for a Season 3, and casting for the role of Kamala Khan in Marvel's Ms. Marvel is currently underway.

If you're still not sure where your Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S are going to fit in your entertainment center, don't worry, Microsoft has you covered. Announced via Twitter, you can now print and assemble your own replica console. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=confirmed-xbox-series-x-games&captions=true"] Available as a free download from the Xbox website, Microsoft is allowing eager players to print out full-scale or 1/3-scale versions of either Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S to "plan how they are going to fit in your lifestyle." Basically, is it going on top of or inside your entertainment center? The paper cutouts are surprisingly detailed, though. Both contain every labeled port for each upcoming console as well as small details such as the fan on top of the Series X and the color-matched Xbox logos on each box. Microsoft included simple instructions for each, indicating all you need is a pair of scissors and some glue to assemble your new (paper) box!

Excited for your new Xbox Series S or X this November 10? We all are, which is why we created a recyclable replica to build.

Sure, it may not run games, but it's going to look pretty cool: https://t.co/tEzSy1gDEY pic.twitter.com/OHh4slItms — Xbox (@Xbox) September 18, 2020
