Bad news if your dad bought you an SUV

NETFLIX has announced big changes are coming to one of its often-forgotten free perks.

And it’s sure to delight kids and adults alike looking for something more than the latest TV or movies.

Some of the first titles to be announced[/caption]

Netflix is planning to take its gaming operation to the next level and there are some major names involved.

The streaming giant first started offering games back in 2021 and there have been some huge titles available at no extra cost.

These include GTA and Football Manager, as well as exclusive games based on some of Netflix’s biggest shows.

But now the company is planning to introduce multiplayer games too.

Netflix bosses say it’ll be “as easy as streaming a show on a Friday night”.

All you need is your TV and a mobile, which you can use as a controller.

Among the first titles apart of it is LEGO Party! – which costs about £39 if you buy for an existing games console like the Nintendo Switch or PS5.

Others include Pictionary: Game Night, Boggle Party, Tetris Time Warp and Party Crashers: Fool Your Friends.  

Netflix hasn’t confirmed when the multiplayer games will launch.

But in an announcement it said “this holiday season” suggesting it’ll be some time around Christmas.

Humor

For one night, it was fun to be a Giants fan again.

PUNTERS were in stitches watching random racegoer Pat gatecrash a live TV interview.

Racing TV hosts Fran Berry and Gary O’Brien were wrapping up the action from Irish racecourse Thurles when they were hilariously interrupted.

But instead of carrying on and trying to pretend he wasn’t there, they kindly brought him in to be part of the act.

And while it made for great TV, that move totally backfired on former jockey Berry.

Oblivious to the Group 1-winning rider standing right in front of him, lovable Pat asked: “Which one are you?”

Like every punter, Pat was quick to mention his winner in the lucky last – although he was tight-lipped with regards winners the following day.

The whole clip, which has gone viral online, was a real breath of fresh air.

And it made many think back to what they called the glory years of racing, with real, genuine characters filling the racecourses.

One person left laughing at the video wrote on X: “Gary O’Brien reading the situation and dealing with it with absolute class.”

Another posted: “THAT IS GOLD! Well done lads and fair play for creating one of the all time racing interviews!”

One comment read: “Go on, Pat. Absolutely brilliant lads, fair play to you, handled superbly. The lighter moments in life are just brilliant.”

While a fourth said: “Fair play, they handled that like absolute pros.”

RONNIE O’SULLIVAN is on a quest to win his first ranking title in 21 months at the Xi’an Grand Prix – and he is back in action RIGHT NOW!

O’Sullivan whitewashed Scotsman Stephen Maguire to progress to the last-16, having lost just one frame in this tournament so far.

And he’ll be hoping to avoid an embarrassing defeat like champion Kyren Wilson, who was on the wrong end of a whitewash from Shaun Murphy.

This means there will certainly be a new champion come the conclusion of Monday’s final!

COSTA Coffee has been slammed for quietly hiking the cost of its popular Breakfast Bundle Bap deal by a whopping 50p in move set to hit latte fans in pocket.

The hefty eight per cent price hike means the popular Breakfast Bap deal including a bacon roll and coffee will now set punters back a wallet-busting £6.49 rather than £5.99.

The price “adjustment” was sneaked in under the radar in May with no public announcement but was picked up by eagle-eyed Sun spotters monitoring high street price hikes.

Back in 2022 the same promotion, then called a “bacon roll and coffee” meal deal, set punters back just over £5 depending on the choice of brew.

Last night Costa regular Martina Bailey, 42, of Buxton, Derbyshire, said the latest price increase came as a real blow.

 She explained: “It seems every time you go down the high street one thing or another has gone up in price.

“I used to love treating myself to Costa’s Breakfast Bap deal once in a while but now it looks like I’m not going to be getting much change out of a tenner.”

The penny-pinching move comes just two months after Costa Coffee owners Coca-Cola announced they were in talks to offload the café giant – which has 2,000 UK outlets – in a cut-price £2 billion deal.

The American soft drinks behemoth had high hopes for the Costa brand when it bought it from Whitbread in 2018, owner of the Premier Inn hotel chain, for £3.9 billion, but the chain has struggled with rising costs and high street competition.

In June we reported Costa had whacked increases of as much as 15p on brew prices with hospital branches hit the worst thanks to a 20p “sickness surcharge” – just four months after the last hike.

The cost of caffeine blow meant coffee fans working, visiting or laid up in hospital could end up shelling out upwards for £4 a pop for their favourite tipple.

While in March last year we told how Costa has silently imposed a 5p price hike on its popular pour-it-yourself machine brews meaning some DIY drinks were almost £4 a pop.

The cost surge came just 18 months after the café giant levied a previous 18% increase.

Costa is not the only high street café outfit battling surging costs.

Last week Greggs announced another round of price hikes slapping a 20p rise on its three-item breakfast deal taking the price from £3.95 to £4.15.

While the two-item breakfast deal has also been increased from £2.95 to £3.15.

The bakery chain’s chief executive, Roisin Currie, blamed the increases on rising wages being baked into prices.

Meanwhile critics have described Costa’s latest price hike as an attempt to combat spiralling costs and wage bills.

Sarah Coles, Head of Personal Finance at Hargreaves Lansdown, said: “This isn’t the only meal deal to have risen in price recently, as food inflation means even the deals designed to get people through the door are getting more expensive.

“Costa is facing the double whammy of rising wage bills – thanks to the National Insurance increase – alongside soaring prices.

“The most recent figures show coffee prices are up 15.4% in a year. It’s easy to see why prices have been creeping up to protect margins.”

And Martyn James, independent consumer champion, added: “This major price hike means people will choose to go hungry rather than fork out for overpriced options from Costa.

“Regular users of breakfast deals are usually incredibly tired and busy and don’t have the time to prep a good breakfast at home with all their responsibilities.

“But they aren’t just time-poor, they are facing very real financial pressures – and this price rise means that for thousands, there will be no break, but all fast.”

Costa Coffee said: “Like all retailers, we are navigating unprecedented inflationary pressures that have led to increased costs.

“Earlier this year, we made a small adjustment to our Breakfast Bundle Bap deal at a majority of our stores, increasing the price by 50p from £5.99 to £6.49.

“We remain committed to offering great value and delicious breakfast options for our customers, as well as continuing to offer lunch and afternoon bundles.”
