kingdom_hearts_3_limited_edition_ps4_bundle

This new year PS4 is gearing up for an early surprise to add to its limited edition bundles with Kingdom of Hearts 3 Limited Edition bundle. It is expected to release alongside the popular title on PS4 Pro this January. Sony Interactive Entertainment and Square Enix have planned to unveil the limited edition console on the day the game hits the market in North America. You can even pre-order the console with a Delux edition physical copy of the game that will come along with the console bundle now. It is to be sold exclusively in Gamestop where you can log in to pre-order it to get the game on release day with the console bundle.

kingdom_hearts_3_limited_edition_ps4 console The console combo is a 1TB PS4 Pro hard drive that can store your favorite titles without any issue. Inside the box, you also get the newer Dualshock controller with the Kingdom of Hearts 3 makeover. The controller has the decorative makeover on the D-Pad and touchpad. Carrying forward the Kingdom of Hearts 3 theme, the console also has a dark leather finish with a grey logo of the popular title. Inside the box, you will also get the Delux edition physical copy of the game to make it a perfect combination for Kingdom of Hearts 3 lovers.

When it is Arriving

It is expected to hit the markets on 29th January with the release of the popular game title. The physical copy that comes with the console combo is the deluxe edition which contains special items like a sora pin, steelbook, and hardback artbook. The game is coming for both consoles with Xbox and PS4 on the same day of 29th January. It is exclusive to Gamestop and EB Games in the US and Canada. The hardware is limited edition and will be very elusive without any information for open sale available on stores or Amazon.

Where to Buy

The price for the limited edition console bundle is $399.99 which considering the physical copy of the deluxe edition of Kingdom of Hearts 3 included is a steal. A regular 1TB console comes at around $399.9 which does sometimes include some games which are mostly not worth. However, this limited edition console is priced very aggressively against the usual console combo with an added makeover and a physical copy of the game. The stocks are believed to be very limited as with every limited console that PS4 has come up earlier. So, this will again be hard to get a console from the first party sellers without paying extra charged by the third-party sellers.

kingdom_hearts_3_limited_edition_ps4_pro-4For PS4 gamers surprises are coming sooner than expected in the console gaming market. Sony seems to make the first move here in the console genre with its latest addition to already impressive limited edition console lineup. Additionally, Kingdom of Hearts 3 is expected to a title that brings high definition real-life gaming experience to the console inspired by the real characters. With that said, you must sign up for the pre-order queue before 29th January to get your hands on with the game along with the limited edition console bundle from Gamestop and EB Games.

Razer Turret for Xbox One brings Keyboard and Mouse made for Couch Gamers

razer turret

Keyboard and mouse support for Xbox is one thing that couch gamers can really appreciate without having to play PC games. Razer has come up with its new range of Keyboard and Mouse combo for Xbox that is surprisingly comfortable to be used sitting on a couch. While any wired or wireless keyboard and mouse can be used with Xbox it was never a very comfortable experience. Additionally, some games are always better to have the added precision of the mouse and keyboards make movements more precise and easier. This always made PC gaming distant from the Xbox gaming where you were mostly stuck with the controller.

razer turret for xbox oneThe Razer Turret combo is something that can greatly make it a first choice keyboard and mouse to pair up with your Xbox without being uncomfortable sitting on the couch. Though for now it is available for only Xbox One console which in another way is a sign that the upcoming new console will also have support for keyboards and mouse. It greatly diversifies the Xbox gaming scenario with more opportunity for PC Gamers to come around and have a go at the Xbox gaming. On the other hand, Xbox gamers will surely love the added opportunity for precision with mouse and keyboard.

Razer Turret for Xbox One Features

The Turret combo comes with a USB dongle that can pair both the keyboard and mouse with a single connector. Going with Razer’s trend of designing minimalistic and solid computer peripherals, the Turret is a minimalistic metal construction with Chroma RGB Lighting and Typical Mechanical keys Razer is associated with for a long time. The construction is lightweight but sturdy and sits very comfortably on your lap while using it from couch. It has its own sliding tray that hold the mouse which unlike the earlier Turret which had a foldable mouse pad.

The whole setup is comfortable even while using it in an inclined position on the couch. The mouse was hold on the mouse pad using magnets which made it stick to the tray and did not slide out. The earlier ones too had magnets, the newer Turret made them stronger and was more secure to hold the mouse in place while playing games. It is a learning curve at the first instance with the magnets holding the mouse down making a sticky feeling each time you move the mouse. Once you had passed the initial learning curve, it was comfortable and precise.

Where to Buy

razer turret for xbox oneMoving to the modern USB Type-C, the keyboard charges using the port however the mouse will need the older Micro USB to charge. It can although be charged passively through the Keyboard but that again will need a Mini-Display Port. This seems bizzare with the different connectors used for connection and charging, they could have easily gone with USB Type-C for all connections.

However, this con can be overlooked by the insane battery life of the keyboard standing at nearly 11 hrs with the RGB turned on, switching off the RGB will allow it to last for 40 hours. It has the Xbox key to make the options more conveniently accessible during games. All this do come with a price tag of $250.

Unlike other midrange device where use of metal has been the choice. Glass has been used in Nokia 7.1 to give it a look and feel of a premium device, and not to forget the ‘top-notch’ display.

 

Nokia 7.1 Specs

Nokia 7.1 is a strong mid-range contender for its price and specs. Here are some of the highlighting specs of the Nokia 7.1:

  • Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 which is a great mid-range processor
  • You have the option of 3GB and 4GB for holding up to intense gaming sessions and apps

What makes it Compelling

Nokia 7.1 does not shout amazing specs or super powerful processor or features. It has compelling looks and design that sounds even better when you take the price in consideration. Nokia 7.1 must be one of the best looking devices in the mid-range segment with its bright tall display and great color reproduction. This display is one of the better ones we have come across in this price segment.

The processor powering the device is one of the proven ones in the mid-range segment. It is capable of hardcore gaming and handling memory intensive apps with ease. 4GB RAM variant is one we would prefer, though 3GB is enough for regular users.

Samsung Galaxy J7 Refine from Boost Mobile is a device you can trust in a Budget

The newly launched Galaxy J7 Refine comes at a price point within $200. With Samsung’s brand name and trust, this makes for a very compelling device., but it has some catch. To make things sweeter, the new device comes at a further 20% discount on the boost mobile website. If you are in the market for something you can rely without burning a hole in your pocket, J7 refine can be a great choice till you have limited expectations.

It may sound a bit sketchy at first being a Galaxy lineup device at such aggressive price. It may not be the best looking or the most powerful device compared to the other galaxies. Surprisingly, it never claims to be the best device but a practical device. It will get the job done without much flare.

For the price if you have your expectations lowered, this device is not that bad. It comes with a good camera and a decent display. The Galaxy J7 Refine also pack a decent battery of 3300 mAh paired with the HD panel ensures a great battery life. It may not be big on the specs sheet but it has enough to be a device for not so tech savvy person or on a budget.

While there are better devices in the market at this price, they do not come with the Samsung brand attached to it. However, this device should not be a primary device as it is only good for usual tasks like, calling, browsing, texts, casual snaps and social media. The camera on this device is decent and take decent pictures in good lighting. The front and back both have a 16MP sensor which are not great but decent. Let us look at the specs in details for better scrutiny on the device.

Specs and Features

Samsung Galaxy J7 Refine has some decent specs for the price:

  • It is powered by the ever popular budget 1.6 GHz Exynos 7885 processor
  • Coupled with 2GB RAM and 32GB of Internal Storage with support of Micro SD Card upto 400GB
  • The display is a 5.5 inches TFT Panel of resolution 1280×720 (HD)
  • Front and back camera are both 16MP with 1080p recording option from the back camera
  • Based on Android Oreo 8.0 out of the box
  • Both 2.5 GHz and 5 GHz WiFi bands are supported
  • Bluetooth 4.2
  • Accelerometer, gyroscope, ambient light, proximity and Geomagnetic sensors are provided
  • Battery is a 3300 mAh
  • 5 mm headphone jack (sadly it has become a feature now a days)


Final Thoughts

Nothing too striking about the specs here. It has a budget range processor which is good enough for day to day activities but nothing more can be expected. 2GB RAM makes thing tough for the device to handle large apps and more than 5-7 apps running at a time. Gaming is a big no no unless you are stuck to casual arcade games.

It is a device for people on a tight budget. With boost mobile you get the device at $ 179.99 with additional discounts at times. For the price there shouldn’t be much expectation. But the underwhelming processor and RAM will not give a great experience for medium to advanced users. It is a perfect device for our grandparents who do not need much processing power or just a secondary device for calls and texts. Anything more than that will struggle on the device.

Limited Edition Spiderman PS4 Pro Console is dream come true for Spidey Fans

Bored of the same old black box PS4 Pro consoles? Here is something that will surely attract some good attention. With bright glossy red finish overall and a big white spidey logo on top, it’s sure to turn some heads.

And if you are a Spidey fan, this limited edition PS4 Console will be on the shopping wishlist for every Spidey fan. This limited edition console sold out immediately after hitting the markets. It shows the popularity of this Amazing Spidey PS4 Pro Console among the gamers community. The bright red paint job, called the “Amazing Red” finish is not subtle in any sense. Additionally, the white accent dwells very well with the favorite Red of the crawly superhero.

Features and Looks

Not only the console is flashy, the specs it packs will keep it in competition with the top of the line consoles. With 1TB storage space and 4K HDR support, get ready for some intense crispy gaming on your 4K and HDR Television.

It gets most of its specs share with Sony’s top of the line console, the PS4 Pro, which in itself is a gamers powerful ammunition. The new paint job makes it stand out from the usual black stealth looking PS4 Pro consoles. This limited edition Spiderman PS4 Console is in no manner something to be kept hidden under the TV cabinet.

The bundle packs comes with a DualShock 4 wireless controller that has the similar red paint job overall. The buttons are white complimenting the bright red accent of the controller. It comes with the DualShock 4 goodness as we are used to with PS4 controllers.

What makes it more desirable is the scarcity and limited availability of the prized console. Only few lucky fans got hold of the console, it eludes most fans as it is out of stock at major outlets.

What is in the Box

Taking of the box, it follows the similar paint layout with a red box with the high flying Spiderman and the console and controller displayed in all its glory.

Inside the box, you get the exciting PS4 Pro console in the Spiderman “Amazing Red” with similar color Dualshock 4 controller, mono-headset, HDMI Cable, power cord and micro-usb cord.

Did I forget something?

Oh yes, the original physical copy of the Amazing Spiderman Game and additional code for more digital content download from the digital deluxe edition.

Price

Pricing is bit erratic now given the popularity and the response from the fans. Most major outlets are out of the stock of the limited edition console and the ones selling have hefty price tags.

The Bundle Playstation was originally launched at $399.99 which sold out very rapidly after the launch. Some outlets are charging a ridiculously price tag of $600 for the console bundle.

Final Thoughts

Not only the console makes the limited edition PS4 special, but the included Amazing Spiderman Game comes with amazing graphics and intense gameplay.

Be your favorite Superhero and put on the red flashy superhero cape and get ready to save the world. Or rather, help Spiderman defeat the enemies on the limited edition game.
