The PlayStation 5 Consoles Are on Sale Today

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). Pre-orders for the controller will go live Friday August 9th at 7am PT at direct.playstation.com. The controller and the new Astro Bot game will launch a month later on September 6th. In other news, the Wall Street Journal is reporting that Twitch is at risk of becoming a "zombie brand" as it still remains unprofitable 10 years after Amazon's acquisition. Twitch went through a round of layoffs earlier this year, and many employees fear more layoffs in the near future. And finally, a pillar of the seventh generation of gaming consoles is no more. 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.
