Dyson’s cordless vac range has long been hailed king of the battery-operated vacuum jungle – it’s continuously rated the best-in-class when it comes to design, portability and performance. If you’ve always wanted one of these glorious home appliances that’s sure to make your life easier, then you’re in luck – Dyson has discounted the V10 Animal to an affordable AU$699.

One of the more likely reasons to consider the Dyson V10 (apart from its amazing price) is its convenience. With up to an impressive 60-minutes of battery life, a powerful motor and multiple attachments, not only will chores become easier, you will be more motivated to do them knowing how little effort it takes to make your home spick and span. 

The suction on this bad boy is what sets it apart from its competitors – inbuilt is Dyson’s digital motor that's capable of 125,000 rpm (that's over 2,000 revolutions per second) making it more than capable of picking up floor nasties of both the indoor and outdoor variety.

What makes this machine even sweeter is its versatility – the Dyson V10 is modular by design, so you can use it as a stick vacuum or remove the wand from the main compartment to turn it into a helpful handheld unit.

This Dyson V10 Animal is also great for people with allergies – the fully-sealed filtration system traps 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns – expelling cleaner air. It’s also bagless, allowing you to empty collected dirt with a single pull of its lever. 

Pick up this great deal through Dyson’s eBay store and save 22% off the original price – that’s a massive saving of AU$200.

We research the best Xbox One sales to bring you the best value bundle deals every week. We generally find opting for an Xbox One bundle instead of a console-only deal is a smart way to go as you'll most likely get more for your money, with extra games and accessories thrown in to sweeten the deal.

To make finding the best Xbox One bundle deal less tasking, we've scoured the internet for the lowest prices on bundles and best console deals and rounded them up here in one spot for you. Below you will find the lowest prices in Australia for both the Xbox One S, Xbox One X and the newly released Xbox One S All-Digital Edition.

cheap xbox one s deals

With the unveiling of the Xbox One X, the Xbox One S has seen some impressive price drops and bundle deals with Microsoft going all out to pump up the pressure on its rivals. It was already often the cheapest console of the current generation, but with some of these savings on bundles and even Xbox One controllers, the price seems right. 

At this point it's probably wiser to buy a bundle and score some wicked Xbox One games along with the unit, as some of them can come in cheaper than the standalone consoles themselves.

At once more elegant and more powerful, the slimmed-down design of the Xbox One S ditches the external power brick and chunky looks of the original Xbox One. More importantly, it comes kitted out with 4K visual support meaning you'll be able to watch specialised Blu-Ray and Netflix content in 4K.

Xbox One X prices are constantly changing from store to store, making it hard to keep up at times. To take the pain out of scoping out the best Xbox One X prices this Black Friday 2019, you should be able to find the best real-time deals listed below, updated live, along with some hand-picked options.

In an effort to show the world just how impressive the camera is on its iPhone 11 Pro, Apple has revealed that the music video for Lady Gaga's latest single, Stupid Love, was shot entirely on the flagship handset.

The video for Stupid Love is directed by Aussie filmmaker Daniel Askill, with cinematography by Sebastian Wintero and editing by Lorin Askill.

According to PCMag, Stupid Love was shot using the Filmic Pro app, which is able to provide a more cinematic framerate and overall appearance to smartphone videos, along with "additional hardware", such as professional lighting equipment and stabilizers.

A similar combination of Filmic Pro app, iPhone hardware and supplementary filmmaking equipment was also used to shoot director Steven Soderbergh's feature film Unsane back in 2018.

You can check out a glimpse of the rig used to capture the Stupid Love music video below, courtesy of the Lady Gaga fan community GagaDaily's Instagram account.

Of course, it's not the first major pop video to be shot using the iPhone 11 Pro – the handset was also used to shoot the clip for Selena Gomez's Lose You to Love Me, which was released back in October 2019.

You can check out the complete video for Lady Gaga's Stupid Love below. The track is also available to stream on all major streaming services.

During the month of March, Telstra is offering a AU$120 discount on select BYO phone plans when new customers switch to a month-to-month mobile deal.

If you bring your own smartphone over to the Telstra network and sign up for a SIM-only plan of AU$60 or above before March 30, you’ll get AU$10 off for your first 12 months – saving you AU$120 over the year.

The Medium plan is the cheapest option where this offer is available – it’s usually AU$60 per month, but now for just AU$50 each month you’ll get 60GB of data and unlimited national talk and text.

No need to worry if you happen to use up all your data in a month either, as there’s no excess charges, just a speed cap of 1.5Mbps.

If you go with the Medium plan, you’ll also get free trial access to their 5G network until June 30, 2020, provided you’re bringing a 5G compatible phone over to the telco.

If you decide to stick with it after the trial period ends, it’s AU$15 per month to opt-in to the 5G network, but if you’ve gone with a Large or Extra Large data plan, access is included for as long as you stay on the plan.

The Telstra SIM-only plans also include data-free sports streaming of AFL, NRL, the Hyundai A-League and more.

These BYO phone deals are only available to new customers, or existing Telstra customers who are looking to add a second device. They have no lock-in contract, so you’re free to cancel any time.

If you don’t have a handset to bring over to Telstra, you do have the option of signing up for a handset payment plan, which you can opt to pay for over 24 or 36 months.

EA Sports has announced that it is planning to introduce an in-game button overlay for some FIFA 20 players as part of its efforts to improve the game’s responsiveness.

FIFA 20 has received criticism from its community for its unresponsiveness during online matches, with players feeling that there’s a noticeable delay between when they press the button and when their desired action happens on screen. 

In a recent Pitch Notes article published to the EA site, the developer has described its “live study methodology” whereby, following internal testing, it tests potential changes with a small number of real players in order to garner feedback and real-world data.

Live studies

The upcoming in-game button overlay is part of this and is intended to measure the real-world impact of a “small backend change related to button responsiveness”. 

According to EA, in the coming weeks a select number of players will see the overlay (pictured below) added to the top right-hand corner of their game, though it notes that the image depicts an in-progress view which is subject to change. 

EA explains that this button will allow players to see their inputs in real-time as well as “the impact the connection with the data center has on those inputs.” The hope is that this will help EA analyze matches more efficiently as, it says, it “can get clips of players sharing their experience and raw input.” 

EA plans to share its findings from the study at some point in the future, though it points out that “like any real-world study”, it can take time to get “actionable results”. That means we don’t know exactly when we’ll find out what the developer’s next steps are but given the short lifecycle of FIFA titles and the fact that, based on previous release patterns, late 2020 is highly likely to herald the release of FIFA 21 we imagine players are hoping to see improvements sooner rather than later.

EA stresses in the article that this is just one part of its efforts to tackle connectivity and responsiveness issues in the game and that as progress is made it may roll out more changes using these live studies.
