PSA: The World Ends With You Sequel Has Leaked, So Watch Out For Spoilers Online

Square Enix Store error gives players early access

NEO: The World Ends with You is technically still a few weeks out from its official Nintendo Switch release, but it seems some lucky fans have already got their hands on the Switch eShop version well ahead of the game’s launch.

Unlike a lot of other leaks in recent times, this one is apparently due to an error on the publisher’s end. Select users who pre-ordered a physical copy of the game from the Square Enix Store apparently received a redeemable code yesterday for the full digital release on Switch.

This code was meant to contain some preorder goodies and instead allows users to download and play through the entire game. While Square Enix was able to fix its mistake within a few hours, many still had enough time to redeem the code.

If you’re planning on playing the sequel when it arrives on 27th July, keep in mind spoilers and leaks might already be doing the rounds on social media and message boards. Were you one of the fans who have been able to redeem this game ahead of its release? Leave a comment down below.

Galaxy Watch 4: Samsung’s biggest upgrade in years could finally land on this date

Leave a comment

The Amazon Canada listing for the Galaxy Watch 4 priced the smart watch at CA$ 346.82 and also featured renders that were the same as the leaked images revealed so far for the wearable.

According to the Amazon Canada listing, which has now been taken down, the Galaxy Watch 4 will have Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS and connectivity options.

It’s also expected to have blood oxygen monitoring, heart rate monitoring and advanced sleep tracking features.

While one of the big new Galaxy Watch 4 features could be non-invasive glucose monitoring.

However, this feature may only be available on the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic instead of the Active version.

Excitement around the Galaxy Watch 4 is building as the new wearable will bring with it the biggest update to the Samsung smart watch line in years.

Five things to watch as NASCAR Cup Series comes to New Hampshire Motor Speedway – Nascar

Leave a comment

Kyle Larson has dominated the 2021 NASCAR Cup Series season so far, but will that dominance carry over to New Hampshire Motor Speedway, where he’s never won, for the Foxwoods Resort Casino 301 on Sunday afternoon?

Here are five storylines:

Hendrick’s Hot Shoe: Despite a flurry of NASCAR Cup Series regulars claiming wins early in the season — 10 drivers in the first 11 races — the summer stretch has belonged to Larson.

Larson claimed three consecutive runner-up finishes in May (Darlington, Dover and Circuit of The Americas) before clicking off four consecutive wins (Charlotte, Sonoma, Texas and Nashville). In doing so, the Hendrick Motorsports standout has not only cemented himself as a 2021 championship favorite, but proven that he’s a threat on any style track.

Larson will have his work cut out for him to keep that momentum going at the Foxwoods Resort Casino 301, where he’s never won and led only 16 laps in 10 career starts.

Happy Again? Coming off of a career-best nine-win season last year, Kevin Harvick and his Stewart-Haas Racing team haven’t been able to rekindle the magic in 2021, going winless so far this season.

But if there’s anywhere the 45-year-old veteran can get things turned in the right direction, the Granite State just might be the place. In 37 career visits to the 1.058-mile track, Harvick has earned four wins in Cup Series competition, tying him for most all-time at the track with Jeff Burton.

While he’s safely in contention to make the playoffs, a fifth NHMS victory would not only lock Harvick into the postseason but could be just the shot of confidence his team needs to make a run at his second Cup Series title.

Turf Wars: Northeast natives will be in the field battling for the win when the race goes green on Sunday. Joining New Jersey’s Martin Truex Jr., who considers NHMS his home track despite not being from New England, and fellow Connecticut natives Joey Logano and Ryan Preece this season is rookie of the year contender Anthony Alfredo. While all four drivers consider “The Magic Mile” their home track, only Logano has found his way to victory lane at NASCAR’s top level, winning a famed Loudon the Lobster in 2009.

Truex Jr.’s seven top-five finishes in 27 starts at New Hampshire, combined with three wins already this season, suggest fans shouldn’t count him out if he’s in contention in the closing laps.

And with a win in the Camping World Truck Series at Nashville earlier this year — his third victory across NASCAR’s top three series — Preece will be carrying a lot of confidence on Sunday.

Chasing a Championship: Fan favorite and defending NASCAR Cup Series champion Chase Elliott is among the drivers looking to take home his first Foxwoods Resort Casino 301 trophy this weekend, but to do so, he’ll need to change his luck.

In seven career starts at NHMS, Elliott’s best finish in his Hendrick Motorsports No. 9 machine was fifth place in 2018.

Despite starting on the second row last year and leading nine laps, the young driver ultimately fell to a ninth-place finish.

Playoff Implications: As the NASCAR playoffs loom, the action is heating up around the cut line, with several big-name drivers fighting for their shot at the championship, but by no means safely in contention heading into the Foxwoods Resort Casino 301.

Harvick, Austin Dillon and Tyler Reddick are all fighting to stay inside the top 16 spots while Chris Buescher, Matt DiBenedetto and Ross Chastain are on the outside looking in.

How to watch the Tokyo Olympics Opening Ceremony

Without any fans, next week’s Olympic Opening Ceremony will probably look a little different this year.

WASHINGTON — The Tokyo Olympics Opening Ceremony will kick off the international sporting competition on Friday, July 23. 

This year’s Olympic Summer Games, already postponed a year because of the pandemic, will be held without fans cheering from the stands after a state of emergency was declared in Tokyo in an effort to fight a surge in COVID-19 cases. 

Here is everything you need to know about the opening ceremony and how you can watch it live, on TV and online:

When is the Tokyo Olympics Opening Ceremony?

The Tokyo Olympics Opening Ceremony will take place on Friday, July 23. It will begin at 8 p.m. local time in Japan, which is 7 a.m. ET/4 a.m. PT.

Time difference between US and Tokyo

Tokyo, Japan, is 13 hours ahead of the east coast of the United States.

Indiana Jones 5 set video ‘shows Shia LaBeouf Mutt return’ – WATCH

Leave a comment

The plot of Indiana Jones 5 has been shrouded in mystery since it was announced last year. Harrison Ford has been spotted filming in Glasgow over the past few months in a plethora of 1960s-styled clothes, giving fans their first taste in what the film might look like. It looked like shooting was going to stop when the 79-year-old star broke his arm earlier this year, but the latest video from Scotland shows off what could be a pivotal moment in the movie.

The video below shows Ford’s body double following a parade in Glasgow, styled to look like New York City.

The archaeologist can be seen chasing the parade on horseback – but he isn’t alone.

Before long, a motorbike follows him into the event.

The motorbike looks to be manned by a young man with dark hair and a leather jacket.

Of course, the only person in the Indiana Jones franchise who has these attributes is none other than Mutt (Shia LaBeouf).

Mutt was one of the main characters in the fourth Indy movie, Indiana Jones and the Temple of the Crystal Skull.

The young greaser was revealed to be Indiana’s long-lost son during the events of the film.

His mother, Marion Ravenwood (Karen Allen) explained that she fell pregnant after being with Indy and never got around to telling him.

What do you think? Should Indiana Jones have Mutt return to the franchise? Join the debate in the comments section here

Indiana Jones 5 has been confirmed to be the final outing for Ford as the iconic hero, so someone will most likely take over from him going forward.

With that said, Star Wars actor Phoebe Waller-Bridge has also signed on to the film, and was recently spotted on set for the movie.

On top of writing for enormous franchises such as James Bond, Waller-Bridge has made quite the name for herself as an actor.

Could she have been cast as the daughter of Indiana?

Indiana had a daughter in the 1990s TV show – The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles.

If Waller-Bridge and LaBeouf are playing the children of Indiana Jones, they could well take over as the archaeologists for the franchise.

Until the film comes out, fans will simply have to wait and see.

Indiana Jones 5 is due out on July 28, 2022.

Epic Sky Q deals end today, but there’s another cheap way to watch Sky TV

Leave a comment

If you’re looking for a more affordable way to watch the latest and greatest movies, sports and boxsets, Sky continues to offer some bargain prices. Right now, the satellite TV company has a number of deals, including cuts to its Full House bundle.

This all-you-can-watch package features Sky Entertainment, all Sky Sports channels, Sky Cinema and full access to everything on Netflix for just £52 per month. If that sounds a little too expensive and you’re not a film buff then there is also a deal which features Entertainment, Sports and Netflix but without Cinema for just £45.

YOU CAN SEE ALL THE SKY Q DEALS HERE

These are good deals but, sadly, the two discounts will end at midnight tonight, July 15, meaning there are only a few hours left to bag the price drop. If you do fancy taking Sky up on its offer then the deals will last for 18 months and there is a £20 upfront fee to pay.

All of Sky’s contracts include the firm’s latest Sky Q box which allows customers to record multiple shows at once and find content using voice search on the clever remote control.

Although some of Sky’s deals are coming to an end there is another way to get cheap telly beamed into your home. That’s because Sky’s contract-free streaming service NOW, formerly NOW TV, has just released two new deals which will save customers some serious cash.

The first gives those signing up to the platform the chance to stream Sky’s Entertainment and Cinema channels for just £9.99.

YOU CAN SEE THE NOW TV DEALS HERE

It even features a 7-day free trial of Boost, which lets you watch on-demand shows and movies advert-free, at a higher resolution and on more screens at the same time.

Along with that entertainment plan, there is also a Sky Sports Membership which has been cut to £25 per month for three months.

That’s a saving of over £20. Taking this deal today means users will be able to watch the Lions tour of South Africa along with all the F1 action and the start of the Premier League season.

This plan also features access to seven days of Boost. If you weren’t already aware, NOW brings Sky channels into the home without the need for a dish. All customers have to have is a reliable internet connection and a device such as a smart TV, streaming stick, Apple TV box or one of the latest gaming consoles such as the PS4, PS5 of Xbox One.

Watch: 2 striking maps that tell the story of Covid-19 in US

A map of the 2020 election results and a map of fully vaccinated areas paint a strikingly similar picture of today’s political landscape — and (surprise, surprise… ) it was largely driven by former President Donald Trump. In the latest episode of The Point, CNN’s Chris Cillizza tries to explains why these two maps are so similar.

F1 star Lando Norris has £40k watch stolen during ugly Wembley scenes at Euro 2020 final

Leave a comment

“McLaren Racing can confirm that Lando Norris was involved in an incident, after the Euro 2020 final match at Wembley, during which the watch he was wearing was taken,” a McLaren statement read.

“Thankfully, Lando was unharmed but he is understandably shaken. The team is supporting Lando and we are sure that racing fans will join us in wishing him all the best for the British Grand Prix this weekend.

“As this is now a police matter we cannot comment further.”

Many have voiced their concerns at how quickly things got out of hand at Wembley on Sunday, though FA chief executive Mark Bullingham has made clear that a full review will soon be taking place to catch those responsible for entering the stadium after breaching security.

“We will do a full review and we will work with the police to catch anyone involved and make sure we can prevent it ever happening again,” he told BBC Radio Four’s Today programme.

“Anyone caught will obviously be banned and have the right action taken against them.

“We run a stadium, not a fortress. We have got a fantastic security team at the stadium and they had never seen anything like it.”

Watch live on ITV Hub? You’re missing out on an amazing new feature for Love Island fans

Leave a comment

If you watch the latest drama unfold inside the Love Island villa on ITV Hub, you’ll miss out on an exclusive new feature from ITV. Dubbed Shoppable TV, the UK broadcaster has partnered with South Korean technology firm LG to allow viewers to instantly add products featured on the show to their shopping basket – without taking their eyes off the latest re-coupling.

Boots is one of the first brands to sign-up to the innovative new system. So, when viewers with an LG spot a product used in the show they’d like to use – a tap of a button will bring up an overlay with extra information on the item. Similar products available from Boots will also be suggested to put the product into context. Additionally, users can also choose to view all products available from the episode of the show that they’re watching. If anything takes your fancy, an extra tap will send the item to your basket.

Paying for the item isn’t handled through your telly – so you don’t need to worry about typing in a credit card number with your remote. Instead, a link is shared to your smartphone, so you can securely checkout with Google or Apple Pay in seconds.

Love Island fans with LG Smart TVs can initiate the shopping interface at any time by using their telly remote. However, you’ll need to proactively opt-in to receive the notifications and use the shopping service, so those who don’t want to spend any money while bingeing reality telly won’t be bothered by pop-ups to add items to your basket.

To make its new “see it, shop it” system function, ITV is relying on code from TheTake – a contextual product discovery company that specialises in AI. No updates are needed to make the functionality work in millions of homes throughout the UK as TheTake’s technology is built into LG TV sets in the UK by default. However, this new partnership with ITV marks the first time that it has been activated.

Launching initially in Love Island, ITV has already confirmed plans to roll out its new shopping service on other shows across different genres throughout the rest of 2021. The Take technology is already live in the USA on 2021, 2020, and 2019 LG TVs.

In the UK, all 2021 LG TVs have the technology integrated as standard, while TheTake can be added via software update to 2019 and 2020 models.

ITV Director Digital and Creative Partnerships, Bhavit Chandrani said: “This is a unique commercial opportunity and the next natural step in what we can offer to brands. Love Island has been a fantastic platform for innovation in how we work with commercial partners over the past few years and is the perfect show to introduce shoppable TV before we roll it out across other programmes.”

Meanwhile, Pete Markey, Chief Marketing Officer Boots UK, added: “We are very excited to be partnering with ITV and TheTake on the new and innovative opportunity. Launching shoppable TV as part of our wider partnership with Love Island is a great way to help customers easily shop the products they spot in the villa and recreate iconic islander looks from the show.

“It will simplify the customer journey and bring the Boots brand even closer to the Love Island audience.”
