Preparing for the release of the Sony PlayStation 5 and Microsoft Xbox Series X/S, GameStop is now preparing to launch an installment payment plan program for the next-gen consoles. Revealed in a series of internal documents, the American video game, consumer electronics and gaming merchandise retailer is looking to help offer an alternative way to own the systems. GameStop is currently looking into installment plans, direct layaway and rent-to-own plans. Installment plans would be offered through third-party companies like Quadpay and Klarna, requiring customers to split their purchase into four payments over six weeks with no interest. Layaway would see customers pay small installments over a certain period of time to clear the full payment before they receive their consoles. While the rent-to-own plans would let customers rent the new consoles for an upfront fee, with the rest of the cost paid over a 12 month period. Customers can then fully pay off the cost to own a console or retu

'The Walking Dead' Is Ending After 11 Seasons

After almost 10 years on air, AMC‘s hit zombie apocalypse series The Walking Dead is finally coming to an end after its 11th season. According to reports, the final season will consist of 24 episodes and arrive late 2021. Between now and then, fans of the series will get seven more episodes of the currently-running season 10, with its finale scheduled for October 24, after which six bonus episodes will release in early 2021. Despite the news, fans of the franchise can rest assured that there’s much more content on its way, and season 11 won’t be the end of the zombie universe per se. As early as 2018, the show already announced that it’ll be making a theatrical trilogy following the arc of Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln), and a teaser trailer was released for the movies during last year’s San Diego Comic-Con. New reports are suggesting that AMC will also be producing a spin-off series for two of the show’s most beloved characters: Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus) and Carol Peletier (Melissa

Elon Musk's Wealth Drops $16.3 Billion USD in Record Single-Day Loss

With Tuesday’s mass stock sell-off, Tesla‘s stock saw a 21.06-percent drop in value — adding more salt to the wound after its denial into the S&P 500 Index. The 21-percent stock drop amounted to a $16.3 billion USD loss for Elon Musk, which to date is the largest single-day loss recorded on Bloomberg’s Billionaires Index (BBI). The bad news continued as fellow tech billionaire Jeff Bezos saw a wealth decrease of $7.9 billion USD. This speedbump comes after a series of bullish news from the electric vehicle manufacture, with Musk’s wealth on a rocketship thanks to his tranche payouts.

Boosie Offers Mark Zuckerberg $100K To Get His Instagram Page Back!

Its been a few weeks, Roomies, and Boosie is still on the outs with Instagram! While we still aren’t sure of the exact reason Boosie got his page taken down, we know for sure he’ll do just about anything to get it back. Boosie has made a couple of pleas before, but this time he’s taking it to the bank. In a tweet, Boosie mentions Mark Zuckerberg, offering him $100K for his page back. Zuckerberg, who is worth billions, probably won’t bat an eye to the offer, but it’s worth a shot, right? Funny though. “@Zuck I got 100k for my OfficialBoosieg page BACK,” he tweeted. Its been almost a month since Boosie has been on the ‘gram, Boosie called out Mark “Zuckenberger” for deactivating his account, and said he didn’t even know what he did wrong. “This is how I feed my family,” he says. “Mark, do not do this to 2020. Do not take Boosie off Instagram. We need to talk Mark. You need to take me to orientation or something, but you cannot take me out of school. This is how I feed my family, we ain’

Kim Kardashian announces end of long-running hit reality show

The long-running TV reality show about the Kardashian family is coming to an end, Kim Kardashian West has announced. "It is with heavy hearts that we've made the difficult decision as a family to say goodbye to Keeping Up With The Kardashians," she said in a statement posted on Twitter. The show has run for 14 years, and made global mega-stars of Kim, her siblings, their parents, partners and children. The final season, its 21st, will air in early 2021. Expressing her thanks to the "thousands of individuals and businesses" involved in the programme, Kim also added: "I am so incredibly grateful to everyone who has watched and supported me and my family these past 14 incredible years." "This show made us who we are and I will be forever in debt to everyone who played a role in shaping our careers and changing our lives forever," she went on. Most of the family were unknown when the show started in 2007. Kim had appeared in some episodes of her

Apple Watch Prototype Comes Disguised as iPod Nano

Apple Demo has just shared the type of packaging and concealment when it comes to shipping out the upcoming Apple Watch for testing. Currently headed on its 6th generation, the Apple Watch was shipped to Apple Demo in a full silicone sleeve that is reminiscent of the discontinued iPod Nano. When in its disguise, the Apple Watch looks like the stubby 3rd-gen iPod Nano but also links back to the 6th-gen Nano’s square-shaped design when removed — funny enough, many users used to put their 6th-gen Nano on a wrist strap to be worn as a watch. The extra layer of material acts much like how testing cars are wrapped in camouflage and padding to prevent would-be leakers from targeting the new product before the official news release — something that usually just brings more attention to the object.

Coronavirus: Oxford University vaccine trial paused after participant falls ill

Final clinical trials for a coronavirus vaccine, developed by AstraZeneca and Oxford University, have been put on hold after a participant had an adverse reaction in the UK. AstraZeneca described it as a "routine" pause in the case of "an unexplained illness". The outcome of vaccine trials is being closely watched around the world. The AstraZeneca-Oxford University vaccine is seen as a strong contender among dozens being developed globally. Hopes have been high that the vaccine might be one of the first to come on the market, following successful phase 1 and 2 testing. Its move to Phase 3 testing in recent weeks has involved some 30,000 participants in the US as well as in the UK, Brazil and South Africa. Phase 3 trials in vaccines often involve thousands of participants and can last several years. Stat News, the health website which first broke the story, said details of the UK participant's adverse reaction were not immediately known, but quoted a source as sa

Following the sermon, Osteen, Kanye and his kids, along with the entire choir performed a reenactment of the story.

Coronavirus: Rise in UK cases a great concern

Prof Jonathan Van Tam said people have "relaxed too much" over the summer and "we have got to start taking this very seriously again". If not, the UK will have "a bumpy ride over the next few months", he warned. He said that infections among younger people in EU countries had later filtered through to older age groups. France and Spain are among a number of European countries that have seen a sharp rise in coronavirus cases in recent weeks, after lockdown restrictions were eased and testing for the disease was ramped up. On Monday, Spain became the first country in western Europe to record 500,000 infections, after tallying more than 26,000 new infections over the weekend. Prof Van Tam's comments came as more parts of the UK are to face tougher restrictions following a rise in the number of cases. On Sunday UK authorities announced 2,988 new cases - the highest figure since 22 May, while a further 2,948 cases were reported in the 24 hours to 09:00 BST

Russia's Navalny out of coma after poisoning

Doctors treating Russian opposition figure Alexei Navalny say he is out of an induced coma and his condition, since being poisoned, has improved. He is responding to verbal stimuli, they said. Mr Navalny, 44, was flown to Germany after falling ill on a flight in Siberia in August. His team allege he was poisoned on the orders of Russian President Vladimir Putin, who denies any involvement. German doctors say the Putin critic was poisoned with a Novichok nerve agent. On Monday, the Charité hospital in Berlin said in a statement that Mr Navalny was being weaned off mechanical ventilation. "He is responding to verbal stimuli. It remains too early to gauge the potential long-term effects of his severe poisoning," it said. It also said doctors were in close contact with Mr Navalny's wife. Mr Navalny's spokeswoman, Kira Yarmysh, tweeted: "News about Alexei. Today he was taken out of induced coma. Gradually he will be switched off from a ventilator. He responds to speec

France has unveiled huge corona virus recovery plan

September 03, 2020

France has unveiled a 100bn-euro (£89bn) economic stimulus package to help repair the economic damage caused by coronavirus. President E1mmanuel Macron's government said the investment would include big spending on green energy and transport. Dubbed "France re-launch", it is aimed at reversing rising unemployment, and includes tax cuts for business. The economy shrank by 13.8% between April and June, the biggest quarterly fall since the Second World War. Unveiling the plan, whose €100bn price tag is the equivalent of 4% of France's annual economic output, Prime Minister Jean Castex said it was almost four times bigger than the rescue strategy implemented after the financial crisis of 2008. Its goal is to move away from the emergency funding of the coronavirus crisis and to make long-term investments in employment and training, as well as in France's transformation to a green economy. About €40bn of the funding will come from the new European Union recovery fund. A

Rolls-Royce launches £250,000 car as demand rebounds

The boss of carmaker Rolls-Royce has said global demand for luxury vehicles is rebounding despite the pandemic. Boss Torsten Müller-Ötvös told the BBC that markets in Asia, Europe and the US were now "more or less back to normal". Mr Müller-Ötvös was speaking at the launch of the new Rolls-Royce Ghost, the company's latest model, which is expected to retail at around £250,000. He said sales for the first half of 2020 were down 30%, but now "times are starting to become better and better". Mr Müller-Ötvös described the launch of the new Rolls-Royce Ghost, a complete redesign of the most successful car in the firm's history, as a "seminal moment". At the height of the coronavirus pandemic, Rolls-Royce shut down production for a couple of weeks, while dealerships around the world followed suit. The slump in sales came after a bumper year in 2019, which Mr Müller-Ötvös described as "the best-ever year in the 116-year history of Rolls-Royce Motor C
