Week 40: The Golden Joystick Awards, PS5 stock shortages, and Black Friday deals

As usual, we're talking about a variety of topics from the world of tech. We begin the show with this week's Big Question: which tech product do you regret buying most?

Tune in this week to hear our thoughts on how Gareth accidentally bought a PS5, why the iPhone 13 may not have any ports and all about the Golden Joystick Awards. We also touch on the PS5 stock shortages, Sherri's Black Friday shopping list and why the Galaxy Note might be no more.

Meanwhile, this week's Unpopular Opinion is... Apple should stop supporting older iPhones. You'll have to tune in to find out what we thought.

For all this and more, tune into the all-new Noise Cancelling podcast – you can subscribe on Spotify, grab it on Apple podcasts, or find us wherever you get your pods. New episodes land every Friday.
