The Fantastic Four: First Steps - Pop-Up Edition (Blu-ray)

$30 | Releases October 14 | Walmart Exclusive

Preorder at Walmart

The Fantastic Four: First Steps is now available to watch from your couch by purchasing the digital edition from Prime Video or another streaming service. But if you're willing to wait a few more weeks, the physical editions offer much better value than the $30 digital edition. Walmart has opened preorders for five different editions of First Steps on 4K Blu-ray, Blu-ray, and DVD, including a handsome Limited Edition Steelbook for $45. The Steelbook Edition and the regular $30 4K Blu-ray edition come with 1080p Blu-ray and digital editions. And if you don't need 4K resolution, the standard Blu-ray edition is up for grabs for as low as $25--though there is a Walmart-exclusive Blu-ray with pop-up art for $30.

The physical editions of The Fantastic Four: First Steps release October 14. We'll update this story with Amazon preorder links once they are available.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps Limited Edition Steelbook (4K Blu-ray) $45 | Releases October 14

The steelbook case gels with the retro-futuristic trappings of the film with colorful character art against a muted backdrop. It almost looks like an advertisement for a classic sitcom. The front of the case features Mister Fantastic (Pedro Pascal), Invisible Woman (Vanessa Kirby), The Thing (Ebon Moss-Bachrach), Human Torch (Joseph Quinn), and H.E.R.B.I.E. (voiced by Matthew Wood). The back of the case includes headshots of the team in their normal human forms with Galactus (Ralph Ineson) looming overhead and Silver Surfer (Julia Garner) flying on her cosmic surfboard.

The Limited Edition Steelbook comes with 4K and 1080p Blu-ray discs as well as a voucher to claim the digital edition from Movies Anywhere. The 4K disc supports Dolby Vision and HDR10. Audio formats for all 4K and Blu-ray editions include DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1 surround sound and Dolby Digital 2.0. Subtitles are available in English, Spanish, and French.

All 4K and 1080p Blu-ray editions include several featurettes, a director audio commentary, and several other pieces of bonus content.

As usual for Marvel movies, Walmart has an exclusive 1080p Blu-ray edition of First Steps with pop-up art. The slipcover unfolds to create a 3D display of the superhero team in the FantastiCar.

The Pop-Up Edition costs five bucks more than the standard edition Blu-ray, and both versions come with a digital version of the film, too.

If you want to create a sprawling display of Marvel pop-up art, Walmart still has Pop-Up Editions of several other recent Marvel movies, including Deadpool and Wolverine, Thunderbolts, and Captain America: Brave New World.

The Last of Us Season 2's Limited Edition Steelbook is up for grabs for $35 (was $45) at Amazon ahead of the HBO show's 4K Blu-ray release tomorrow, September 23. Amazon is the only retailer offering the $10 discount. The Steelbook Edition is currently priced at $40 at Walmart and Gruv. If you're interested in owning the collectible 4K Blu-ray edition of Season 2, it's not a bad idea to snag a copy soon, seeing as the Steelbook Edition for Season 1, which launched in March, now sells for rather high prices on the reseller market. Plus, Season 2's 4K Steelbook is the same price as the standard 4K edition.

The Last of Us Season 2 Limited Edition Steelbook (4K Blu-ray) $35 (was $45) | Releases September 23

The Last of Us Season 2's Limited Edition Steelbook features promotional photography of Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey) with Cordyceps fungus forming a moth--like Ellie's tattoo--in the background. The interior artwork shows Ellie surrounded by a horde of people who have succumbed to the Cordyceps fungus.

The three-disc set includes all seven episodes of Season 2 in native 4K (2160p) resolution and supports Dolby Vision and HDR10. The infected's growls and the unsettling calling card of Clickers should sound pretty unnerving with Dolby Atmos audio and 7.1 lossless surround sound.

All 4K Blu-ray and Blu-ray editions of The Last of Us Season 2 have the same bonus features, most of which originally aired on HBO Max. There are two brand-new exclusive bonus features, though. One is called Ellie's Ultimate Revenge and explores Ellie's motivations throughout Season 2. The other new bonus featurette is Beneath the Surface: The Visual FX of The Last of Us, a deep dive into the props, special effects, and backdrops from the show.

The Last of Us Season 2 Bonus Features:

• Ellie's Ultimate Revenge (New)
• Beneath the Surface: The Visual FX of The Last of Us (New)
• Growing the World of The Last of Us
• Welcome to Jackson set tour
• Joel's Journey to Season 2
• Ellie's Journey to Season 2

The Last of Us Season 2 is also getting standard editions on 4K Blu-ray, 1080p Blu-ray, and DVD. The 4K standard edition is $35 at Amazon and Walmart, so unless you dislike steelbook cases, you might as well grab the Limited Edition while it's on sale for the same price.

The 1080p Blu-ray version is available for $30, while the DVD edition is $25.

• 4K Blu-ray -- $35 ($40)

The Last of Us Season 2 continued HBO's largely faithful adaptation of the Naughty Dog video game franchise. While Season 1 had nine episodes, Season 2 only had seven. The new season adapted a portion of The Last of Us Part II, though it was largely told from Ellie's perspective. Season 3 is expected to flip the script and follow Abby, the other playable character from the second game.

AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU

$430 (was $479)

See at Amazon

The best processor for PC gaming is on sale for $49 off at Amazon. The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D is up for grabs for $430 (was $479). Amazon doesn't list an end date for the discount, but considering the popularity of the high-performing 3D V-Cache CPU, it probably won't be available to purchase for $430 for long. The 9800X3D has been one of the best-selling CPUs on Amazon since its release last November. It has earned top-notch reviews from critics and customers alike.

Amazon estimates orders placed today (September 22) will arrive anywhere from two weeks to a month from now.

AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU $430 (was $479)

The Ryzen 7 9800X3D is one of the newest in the burgeoning line of 3D V-Cache CPUs, with each one proving to be an essential part of an enthusiast-gaming PC. It was the first to feature AMD's 2nd-generation 3D V-Cache technology, with AMD saying that the 9800X3D is, on average, 8% faster than the previous generation's 7800X3D, which itself was widely viewed as the best CPU on the market for gaming.

The 9800X3D has a base clock speed of 4.7GHz, with a boost to 5.2GHz and a TDP of 120W. It was the first X3D chip with overclocking, allowing enthusiasts to squeeze even more out of the silicon with meaningful tweaks. The processing cores were redesigned using AMD's Zen 5 architecture. In addition to top-notch gaming performance, the 8-core, 16-thread CPU offers a marked improvement in productivity performance.

See at Amazon

The 9800X3D is the fastest gaming CPU on the market today. Earlier this year, AMD released a pair of Ryzen 9 3D V-Cache CPUs that have similarly robust specs, just with more of a productivity focus over gaming. The Ryzen 9 9900X3D is available for $588 at Amazon, while the more popular 9950X3D is priced at $664 (was $699). But if you're looking for a gaming processor for a high-end rig, the 9800X3D is the best option on the AMD side.

Between Funko Pops, Labubu, and Nendoroid, the in thing with toy manufacturers seems to be pocket-sized collectibles that put a distinct spin on fan-favorite movies and video games. Tubbz is one such company that does just that, but arguably, its "rubber duckie" versions of popular IP is one of the most distinctive right now. They're a combination of cute but goofy designs that retain the core appeal of their source material--including a line based on Konami's acclaimed stealth espionage action series, Metal Gear Solid.

Technically, these are cosplaying duckies. Some of them are packaged inside a general window box, others come in replica bathtubs, and there are even mini-duckies in case you'd like to carry one around with you. So far, the Metal Gear Solid line has covered a fair number of characters, including Solid Snake himself, Genome soldiers, and the Cyborg Ninja AKA Grey Fox. Amazon even has an exclusive Stealth Camouflage version of Solid Snake, but that box looks empty to us.

X-Men: Blue & Gold - Mutant Genesis

$139.50 (was $150 | Releases September 30

Preorder at Amazon

The early '90s is arguably the peak of X-Men comic books, as this was when the series was setting new sales records and establishing itself as Marvel's biggest IP. Anyone looking to revisit this age of blockbuster sales and extreme storylines can preorder the upcoming X-Men: Blue and Gold - Mutant Genesis, which launches for $139.50 on September 30. This is a massive hardcover omnibus that collects over 1,000 pages of iconic X-Men storylines from the 1980s and 1990s.

X-Men: Blue & Gold - Mutant Genesis $139.50 (was $150 | Releases September 30

Primarily written by the prolific Chris Claremont and featuring a stacked roster of artists, X-Men: Blue and Gold is a mammoth 1,360 pages in size, so you're going to get a great workout from holding this book. It collects several X-Men series together, as well as tie-in comic books like Ghost Rider, Marvel Comics Presents, and a few annuals. During the '90s, the X-Men had split into two teams--Blue and Gold--so that they could better respond to threats across the globe. Cyclops would lead the Blue squad, while Storm took command of the Gold team, and both units took on enemies like Omega Red, Mojo, and their archnemesis, Magneto.

Two spin-off teams--X-Factor and X-Force--also featured in these tales, while other famous faces from across the Marvel Universe would often appear to lend a hand. After all, who better to fend off the Xenomorph-like Brood than the Spirit of Vengeance, Ghost Rider?

Here's a look at all the issues in X-Men: Blue & Gold - Mutant Genesis:

• X-Men (1991) #1-16
• X-Men Annual (1992) #1
• Uncanny X-Men (1981) #281-297
• Uncanny X-Men Annual (1992) #16
• Ghost Rider (1990) #26-27
• X-Factor (1986) #84-86
• X-Force (1991) #16-18
• Stryfe's Strike File #1
• Materials from X-Factor Annual #7, X-Force Annual #1, Marvel Comics Presents (1989) #89, and X-Men: Odd Men Out

Preorder at Amazon X-Men: Age Of Krakoa - Dawn Of X Omnibus Vol. 1 $139.50 (was $150) | Releases September 30

Several more X-Men omnibus editions and graphic novels are scheduled to be released throughout the year. For the modern era, X-Men: Age Of Krakoa - Dawn Of X is another major highlight, and the first chunk of it is being collected into an even bigger 1,400-page omnibus on September 30. The Krakoan Age saw the establishment of a mutant nation on the sentient island of Krakoa, leading to a new status quo in the Marvel Universe.

Tired of being hunted, Marvel's mutants banded together to create their own refuge and sanctuary, while also establishing themselves as a political powerhouse for their kid.

This $139.50 (was $150) omnibus collects dozens of X-Men comics in total, including:

• X-Men (2019) #1-7
• X-Force (2019) #1-8
• Marauders (2019) #1-8
• Excalibur (2019) #1-8

Clocking in at 1,336 pages in size, Volume 2 sees the covert X-Force team take on a major threat, Britain goes to war with Krakoa, X-Factor is formed to investigate the deaths of mutants, and Mister Sinister creates his own team of Hellions to stir up some trouble.

While X-Men comics weren't initially best-sellers, the team did see a resurgence in the '70s and a steady growth in popularity throughout the '80s, culminating in their rise to the top at Marvel Comics. The flagship series for the publisher, the comic books would break several sales records in 1990 and 1991 during a time when comic book creators and artists were the main selling point behind a series. X-Men continued to be popular throughout the decade, but with Marvel facing bankruptcy during that turbulent period, several comic book superstars leaving to form their own publishing company, and the comic book bubble burst, the good times sadly came to an end for a few years.

The influence of the series even made its way to Japan, as the Saturday morning cartoon show was adapted into a best-selling manga. This has been out of print for decades, but earlier this year, Viz Media and Marvel launched X-Men: The Manga Remastered. The first paperback volume is on sale for $17.30 (was $25) and the second volume is just $15.30 (was $30). Combined, that's over 1,000 pages of X-Men manga for just $32, covering the first season of X-Men: The Animated Series.

Sometimes the difference between nailing that first-time shot or shanking it in EA Sports FC 26 comes down to what camera you’re using. With the wrong settings, working out where your support runners are or shots on goal can feel like a real pain.

But by carefully curating your camera settings to benefit you--and your setup--you can gain the upper hand in pretty much any game mode. So to help you win more games, we’ve been experimenting to find the best camera settings in EA Sports FC 26.

Best camera settings for Ultimate Team

• UT Competitive Camera: Disabled
• Single Player Camera: Co-op
• Multiplayer Camera: Co-op
• Height: 20
• Zoom: 0*

The co-op camera gives you the best view of the pitch, in our opinion. It’s a wide angle that gives you visibility on both halves, making it easier to spot player runs and target better through balls.
