In today's Daily Fix: Sony is releasing a limited edition Astro Bot-themed DualSense controller, and you don't need to enter some sweepstakes to get it (ahem...Xbox).

Yesterday, the Xbox 360 Marketplace was shut down, meaning gamers can no longer purchase new content from the service. However, gamers can still download content they already own, including full games and DLC.
