Sony just released and sent us its new Skyrim PlayStation VR bundle (You can see if Skyrim VR is worth playing here). Not only does the package come with a VR version of Bethesda's action RPG, which is also sold separately for $60, but it comes with a slightly updated design that that allows you to plug its included earbuds directly into the headset. Unlike the first PSVR headset, this newer CUH-ZVR2 model also has a new processor unit that provides a high-dynamic range pass-through for users with HDR TVs, so owners don't have to disconnect it to enjoy HDR content. This bundle is out now and retails for $450. Let's take a look inside the box.
The package contains an HDMI cable, USB cable, AC adaptor, AC power cord, PSVR headset, stereo headphones, processor unit, and printed materials.
This is the new CUH-ZVR2 model PSVR headset.
The new PSVR headset is on the left. The older PSVR headset on the right. The designs are very similar.
On the bottom of the new headset (pictured to the left), you will notice that volume controls have been added. There's also a new power button in the middle.
The screen and optics on both headsets are the same.
This is a front shot of the new processor unit, which is the interface between the headset and your TV.
This is the back of the processor unit.
The new PSVR design allows you to connect the included earbuds into the left corner of the headset.
There's a secondary box within the package which houses Skyrim, two Move controllers, and the PlayStation camera.
A PlayStation VR demo disc and manuals are also included.

While the Justice League in the latest DC movie features just a handful of heroes, the history of the team in the comic books is a lot more complicated.

From Justice Leagues America, Europe, and International to Justice League Dark and Justice League Elite, and through the various timelines and reboots like Flashpoint, New 52, and Rebirth, it all gets a bit complicated.

Destiny 2's Iron Banner Crucible event is live now for the first time on PC, and once more for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One players. Aside from providing another way to play Crucible, it introduces a wealth of armor and weapons to equip your character. We've gathered up images of everything that's available and put them in a gallery for your perusal. To take part in the Iron Banner, you need to visit Lord Saladin in the Tower, which requires you to complete Destiny 2's story. Once the credits have rolled on the campaign, you'll be given access to the Tower and will be able to speak with Saladin once you've reached level 20. The Iron Banner is accessible through its own Crucible playlist, which features Quickplay modes and matchmaking settings. You can join with a Fireteam or take on enemies solo. Whatever your choice, you've only got a total of seven days, as the Iron Banner ends on November 28 with the weekly reset. Instead of 6v6, like in the original Destiny, Iron Banner matches in Destiny 2 are now 4v4. Additionally, Power levels are not taken into account, as Light levels were previously. Instead, "your fighting abilities, not your power levels, will decide the outcome," according to Bungie. Despite the official requirements outlined above, you may only need to finish the campaign and hit 20 with one character on your account; we were able to jump into Iron Banner and do well with a very low-level character. All this is in service of racking up kills, climbing the ranks, and scoring Iron Banner Engrams. These are your ticket to getting the gear featured across this gallery. We've grabbed screenshots of all the Titan, Hunter, and Warlock gear, as well as the Faction Weapons Saladin has to offer. For those eager for a little more, Destiny 2's first expansion titled Curse of Osiris is set to release December 5. It introduces Mercury (and the Infinite Forest) to explore, a new social space called the Lighthouse, missions, Strikes, Raid Lairs, free roam activities, a world quest, and more. It also increases Destiny 2's level cap.

We've done our best over the last week-plus to round up and highlight deals you might care about from specific retailers and for individual platforms, but parsing it all can be intimidating. There are countless deals to be had, and not all of them are necessarily good. Notably, many of the year's biggest games are on sale.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Explorer's Edition -- $49 (Walmart)
Nintendo first-party games often keep their high prices for a long time, so it's not terribly surprising to see so few detals on the company's games. One notable exception is the new Explorer's Edition of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, which includes some additional bonuses (but not the DLC season pass). All The Nintendo Switch Black Friday 2017 Deals
Persona 5 -- $29 (Walmart)

South Park: The Fractured But Whole -- $29 (Walmart)
The repeatedly delayed South Park game brings a healthy dose of crude humor, and despite launching just last month, you can find it a hair under half price at Walmart on Black Friday for PS4 and Xbox One. South Park: The Fractured But Whole Black Friday 2017 Deals
Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia -- $20 (Best Buy)
As part of the resurgence of the Fire Emblem series, Nintendo decided to make one of the franchise's earliest games, Fire Emblem Gaiden, as Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia. It introduces some mechanics unlike what you might be accustomed to in Fates or Awakening, such as areas that you can freely roam in 3D. Best Buy will cut its price in half to $20.

Because other companies own the rights to some of Marvel's properties, characters from all across the Marvel universe have been featured in twice as many films as DC. This includes characters from The Avengers, Spider-Man, the X-Men, and more. Here are how all those films did in the box office, in order by worldwide totals, adjusted for inflation. Check out how DC's films did at the box office here. Box office numbers and information came from IMDb and Box Office Mojo. UPDATE 11/21/17: Thor: Ragnarok's numbers updated.
The Punisher (1989)
The late '80s Punisher film was full of bad dialogue, a cheesy plot, and many unmemorable moments. Somehow, the Dolph Lungren driven film found a cult following. Worldwide total: $533,411 (Adjusted for Inflation: $1,036,873) The Punisher was only released in Europe.
Man-Thing (2005)
Man-Thing went straight to the Syfy Channel in the States; however, it did get a small release in Europe. Worldwide total: $1,123,136 (Adjusted for Inflation: $1,386,167)
Punisher: War Zone (2008)
The over-the-top, ultra-violent Punisher: War Zone didn't have the box office success it hoped for, even with the Punisher spinning from a chandelier, shooting people. US: $8,050,977 (Adjusted for Inflation: $9,013,304) Worldwide total: $10,100,036 (Adjusted for Inflation: $11,307,285)
The Punisher (2004)
Thomas Jane played Frank Castle in the highly-anticipated 2004 film, but it received mixed reviews, even with WWE wrestler Kevin Nash playing one of the villains. US: $33,810,189 (Adjusted for Inflation: $43,142,087) Worldwide total: $54,700,105 (Adjusted for Inflation: $69,797,797)
Elektra (2005)
Spinning out of 2003's Daredevil, Jennifer Garner starred as the titular Elektra in this critically panned film. US: $24,409,722 (Adjusted for Inflation: $30,126,321) Worldwide total: $56,681,566 (Adjusted for Inflation: $69,956,023)
Howard the Duck (1986)
Most people remember only a couple things from Howard the Duck: Lea Thompson having sex with the titular character and a topless female duck. It was a pretty weird film. US: $16,295,774 (Adjusted for Inflation: $35,838,510) Worldwide total: $37,962,774 (Adjusted for Inflation: $83,489,699)
Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance (2012)
The Ghost Rider sequel didn't win over American moviegoers as much as the rest of the world, with the majority of its box office coming from other countries. US: $51,774,002 (Adjusted for Inflation: $54,354,651) Worldwide total: $132,563,930 (Adjusted for Inflation: $139,171,513)
Blade: Trinity (2004)
