Prismatic Evolutions Elite Trainer Boxes remain some of the most highly sought-after sealed booster sets for Pokémon TCG. Market price still sits at over $210 via trusted resale sites like TCGplayer and eBay, and there's even been a +28.45% spike in interest in just the past month alone.

But if you're willing to pay over MSRP but under market price, Amazon has just restocked the ETBs and listed them for $182.55. That's over $25 in savings compared to TCGplayer, and it even allows you to use any Amazon gift cards or additional credit you may have built up as well.

But let's also not forget that this is still wildly beyond the original MSRP for these bad boys. At $182.55, that's over $130 more than the original $50 MSRP, and a gigantic 265.1% price inflation. Yet, that's just what we expect with Pokémon TCG these days.

I also want to emphasize that this is "sold and shipped" directly from Amazon itself, and not via any third-party sellers. Yet, no matter how unfortunate it is, this is often the price you have to pay now, even from big retailers like Amazon. But is it worth it? Only you can be the judge of that.

The market price is often dictated by what the majority of people are willing to pay, but only you can decide if this if truely worth your money. The hunt for Prismatic Evolution ETBs at MSRP is almost impossible, with your best bet being lucky with a drop at Sam's Club, Target, Walmart, or Best Buy.

For now, here's everything included in the Prismatic Evolutions Elite Trainer Boxes to better help you decide whether or not you should pick it up:
• 9 booster packs.
• 1 full-art foil promo card featuring Eevee.
• 65 card sleeves featuring Eevee as a Stellar Tera Pokémon.
• 45 Pokémon TCG Energy cards.
• A player’s guide to the Prismatic Evolutions expansion.
• 6 damage-counter dice.
• 1 competition-legal coin-flip die.
• 2 plastic condition markers.
• A collector’s box to hold everything, with 4 dividers to keep it organized.
• A code card for Pokémon Trading Card Game Live
But why is Prismatic Evolutions still so popular for collectors and general players? The Scarlet & Violet set is still monunmentally popular, and goes from strength to strength, pretty much because of its hot card pull potential.

When these ETBs can potentially bag you a $1500 ultra rare, such as Umbreon ex - 161/131, sometimes the high cost is considered worth it. I'm not entirely convinced myself, as after buying more than a few of these, you're halfway there to just buying the pricey card outright anyway.

Still! If you think these will bounce up in value further, you could always pick up one to open, and another to keep as an investment to see how it appreciates in value in the future. Good luck you to friend!

If you're looking for even more deals on Pokémon TCG, then Amazon has also recently restocked Chaos Rising booster displays, bundles, alongside a trusted third party seller "BetterShopping4You" having the ETBs in stock for under $90.

You can also find both the Mega Moonlit Tin, and the Mega Charizard Tin, for $34.99 and $49.99 respectively. Both of those are are market price as well, compared to TCGplayer, so you're getting them at the best price possible.

Everything but the Chaos Rising ETB is also sold and shipped directly from Amazon, just like the Prismatic Evolutions ETB we've been discussing.

First Partner Collection Series 2 sets are also back in stock at Amazon right now as well.

Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced publisher Ubisoft has confirmed the game's global release and preload times.

After years of wait and more leaks than a galleon peppered by cannonballs, Edward Kenway's grand return is now just days away. This is the brilliant 2013 adventure remade from the ground up for PC and modern consoles, with shinier visuals, welcome gameplay improvements, and plenty of new story content.

As has previously been announced, however, the game's original multiplayer mode and first-person modern day gameplay has been removed, in order to focus your time squarely on exploring the Caribbean. But when will you be able to get sailing? Well, head below to find out exactly when you can raise the anchor — wherever you live.

Pre-loading naturally begins first, with Xbox Series X/S available already, while PC and PS5 pre-loads begin at 2pm UTC or 12am local time on July 7, respectively.

The game's actual rollout is more complicated, though follows a similar pattern across timezones. On both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, you'll be able to kickstart your adventures in the Caribbean at midnight local time on July 7.

On PC — across Ubisoft Connect, Steam and Epic Games Store — and also via cloud streaming services GeForce and Blacknut, timings vary by territory, though align with 10am Eastern / 7am Pacific / 3pm UK time on July 7.

Two developers who worked on Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League have given a transparent account of their experience working on the game.

In a new interview with Bloomberg, two former Rocksteady Studio employees spoke out about the experience of working on the ill-fated Suicide Squad game. Designer Johnny Armstrong noted that the team was excited to take a move on from Batman after doing three back-to-back Arkham games but, once they started working on Suicide Squad, things started to change. Warner Bros. wanted a live-service game, and that was unlike anything the studio had ever done before.

Axel Rydby, who became the game's director in 2022, noted that the prolonged development meant there was more pressure on the live-service side of the project. With seven years of production, Warner Bros. was looking to find ways to recoup its investment and began pressuring the team to maximize replayability and player engagement.

“That’s when I started feeling like I wasn’t making games anymore,” he said. “I was following a spreadsheet, some elusive marketing-analysis spreadsheet that no one could present clearly. I kind of felt like this isn’t the gaming industry I wanted to work in.”

Armstrong echoed similar feelings, noting that he grew disillusioned by the industry after working on Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.

“I felt everything drained from me,” Armstrong said. “I said, ‘I can’t do this again. I don’t know if I’m done with the industry, but I’m done.’ I could feel myself coming apart at the seams.”

The two left Rocksteady and have since moved on to find something that brings back their creative spark. They recently launched a Kickstarter for their new RPG deckbuilder, Secret of Circadia, and are hoping to pull in $11,000 from backers to bring it all to life.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League was considered a pretty big fall from grace for Rocksteady after its beloved Arkham games but, hopefully, it also sent a message to Warner Bros. about the kinds of games it should be making. We're not quite sure what Rocksteady is working on right now, but rumors suggest it is returning to Batman with its next project.

However, many of the key creatives that brought the Arkham series to life have since left the studio. Of course, Rocksteady still retains a lot of talented folks, but the next game will almost certainly be different compared to a game like Arkham Knight.
