So, what's on sale? Best Buy has discounted products across most of the stores, but for the purpose of this post, we are going to be concentrating on the best-discounted technology-related products. Starting off, we have $100+ discounts on laptops, headphones, and TV's.

Other discounted products like the Xbox One X are $150 off, indoor/outdoor cameras $250 off, and much more. Best Buy is even discounting video games for both the Xbox One and PS4, while also discounting external hard drives and tablets. I have provided a full comprehensive list of each of the best products that are on offer below.

Red Dead Redemption 2 arrives on Steam on December 5, Rockstar Games today announced.

Rockstar's big Western magnum opus will be ready for Steam's massive 90 million-strong userbase next week, complete with high-end PC optimizations like uncapped frame rates, 4K 60FPS and 8K resolution support, HDR and UltraWide support, and lots of lighting, texture, and draw distance improvements. Right now the game is under fire for crashing and other issues on PC, but Rockstar is busily rolling out patches and updates.

When the PlayStation 5 and Project Scarlett next-gen consoles roll out in 2020, developers will be making games across seven different platforms (eight platforms including PC). Will last-gen systems hold the beastly Zen 2, Navi-powered consoles back?

2020 doesn't mark a true new generation of gaming. Rather than flipping the reset switch and making users buy all new games and accessories, Sony and Microsoft are launching a next-gen/iterative cycle hybrid. The new PS5 and Project Scarlett systems will deliver a big power leap over current consoles like a true next-gen ladder step, but they'll also support older-gen games and accessories like an iterative cycle does.

Throughout the next few years next-gen will share games with last-gen. Newer systems will basically join their respective families as the bigger, stronger older brother. In this overlap transition period, developers will be making games across seven consoles and eight platforms total:

When you go and think about places in public that would be coated in everyone's germs, what's the first place you think of? I think of public bathroom door handles.

I'm probably not alone in doing this, but when I'm at a public bathroom, I will try to completely avoid touching the entrance and exit door handle, as I know it's covered in everybody's germs. Luckily, my problem could soon be solved as two students out of China have managed to create a self-cleaning door handle.

The door handle uses ultraviolet light to keep itself germ-free. It has aluminum handles at either end and a thin layer of titanium dioxide covering the glass. When the ultraviolet light is enabled, it triggers a chemical reaction that kills off 99.8% of the germs present. How does the UV light turn on? Easy. The two graduate students thought of that and equipped the door handle with a small generator that uses the kinetic energy of the door opening and closing to power itself. What an incredible invention!

Twitter is planning a great big ol' purge of their platform, as the company is planning on removing a bunch of inactive accounts.

Twitter will be removing accounts that haven't signed into the platform for the last six months. Warnings are already being issued out to accounts that are inactive, but don't stress yet as Twitter has said that the big ol' purge won't happen overnight. It will instead roll out over time, starting on December 11th. According to a Twitter spokesperson, the deleting of inactive accounts will happen over "many months".

This deleting spree is Twitter's effort of cleaning out useless information from their platform and giving users who are active "more accurate, credible information". While this all sounds good, Twitter is aware that this will pose some problems for account holders who have passed away. Loved ones who like to go through old Tweets of deceased friends or family will not be able to do so if the account falls under the "inactive" category and is deleted.

Tesla recently unveiled their soon-to-be-released Cybertruck, and during their reveal Tesla CEO Elon Musk gave a 'shattering' presentation.

During the presentation, Elon Musk said that the Cybertruck would have shatterproof windows, and then proceeded to demonstrate their durability by having Tesla lead designer Franz von Holzhausen toss a metal ball at them. To his and the audience's surprise, both windows shattered on impact.

Musk laughed off the windows damage and said that to Tesla's credit, they didn't go through the window and that they would fix this problem in post. LEGO has now taken that moment in Musk's presentation, and created their own evolution of truck they are marketing as "guaranteed shatterproof". LEGO are clearly poking some fun at Tesla's unique design, and the funniest part about it is that the LEGO piece doesn't even look that different from Cybertruck's design.

Usually, free stuff is great, but Amazon's free stuff might come across as a little bit invasive, which is why they are shutting it down.

CNBC has reported that Amazon will be shutting down their free Product Sampling program sometime next year. If you aren't aware of the free sample program, Amazon was running a program that sent out users free samples of products that were based on users' purchase history.

While this might sound like a great idea at first, people have become more aware of personal data collection by big companies such as Facebook and Amazon. So, having free products sent out to buyers' doors based on purchase history could serve as a physical reminder to buyers that Amazon knows everything about them and their wants. This would seem like a slippery slope to walk on, so Amazon is instead going to rely on more traditional ways of marketing.

Beatsaber, the virtual reality game that pits players against a whole bunch of different musically generated blocks, has had its developer bought by Facebook.

According to a new tweet by the official Oculus Twitter account, Beat Games Studio will now be joining Facebook's Oculus Studio as an independently operated studio in Prague. Oculus further welcomes Beat Games to Facebook on their blog post that says "what the community has come to love about Beat Saber will remain intact" and that "Beat Games will continue to ship content and updates for Beat Saber across all currently supported platforms, now with even more support from Facebook."

Mike Verdu also commented on what they assumed to be the most FAQ's. Some of the answers are in regards to mods being available on Beat Saber. Verdu says that both Beat Games and Oculus know the value of mods for Beat Saber players and will continue to support them if they fall under their legal guidelines and policies. "We're going to do our best to preserve the value that mods bring to the Beat Saber player base". If the mod is found to breach any of their now updated policies, it will be removed.

Ever thought about animals wearing virtual reality headsets? I haven't, but some farmers clearly have as reports are coming out about cows wearing VR.

Farmers in Moscow strapped their cattle up with some modified VR headsets to examine whether or not they have an impact on the cow and the milk they produce. The farmers programmed the VR headsets to show a simulation of summer fields, and tuned the colors that were being shown to be appealing to the cows eyes. The farmers were testing whether the simulated summer fields had an impact on the cow when the landscape they were actually in were just a normal farm.

The findings, while they are quite basic are still findings. The cows appeared to have less anxiety and were much more relaxed. Unfortunately, it wasn't discovered if the VR headsets combined with the now higher level of relaxation caused the cows to produce more/higher quality milk. Since the study was conducted there are more experimental plans set in place to find out if VR headset wearing cows produce more milk being or if the overall quality is increased.

Colonization of other planets may have just hit a speed bump, as a new study has indicated that humans in microgravity environments have their gut severely affected.

According to a new study by biomedical scientists at the University of California, Riverside, humans that are induced in simulated microgravity, such as spaceflights, have been found to have disrupted the functioning of their epithelial barrier. The epithelial barrier is a bunch of cells that line our intestines and stop any bacteria, fungi, or viruses from spreading throughout our body.

Declan McCole, a professor of biomedical sciences at the UC Riverside School of Medicine, who led the study, said "Our findings have implications for our understanding of the effects of space travel on intestinal function of astronauts in space, as well as their capability to withstand the effects of agents that compromise intestinal epithelial barrier function following their return to Earth."
