Nintendo Announces Wii Mini for $99 Exclusively in Canada

On By RicoIn Games, Tech, Wii U2 Comments

 

Available Dec. 7th exclusively in Canada, the Wii Mini will be available for $99 which includes the system, red Wii-mote and nunchuk. The price is right but unfortunately it comes at a cost, the Wii Mini has no internet capabilities and can’t play Gamecube games. Wii Mini is designed exclusively to play Wii games and that’s about it. I’m sure most gamers won’t miss these features but with the Wii U now available I just don’t see the sense in releasing this downgraded Wii console.

Sony 84″ 4K TV Only a Measly $24,000

On By RicoIn News, Tech2 Comments

After recently revealing their new 84″ 4K TV Sony has finally put it up for pre-order. For a measly $24,000 you can be one of the first to own the XBR-84X900, Sony will even install the TV for FREE. Obviously being a bleeding edge product I imagine demand won’t be very high but in a couple years I’m sure the price will come down considerably as 4K becomes the mainstream standard. Let’s not forget that this TV is 84″ and most current TV’s top out at 60″ to keep the prices down. Sony also announced a 4K Blu-ray player to go along with this TV and rumor has it that the next PlayStation will be 4K compatible. Currently though there are no providers supporting 4K HDTV let alone 1080p and I don’t see that changing any time soon so it will probably be a good couple years before we’re gaming on a 4K set.

iPhone 5 to be unveiled next week

On By RicoIn iPhone, News, Tech2 Comments

As expected invitations have been received by major media outlets to an Apple event next week.

Looking at the invitation image you can see the shadow of the number five so it’s probably safe to say that the iPhone 5 will be unveiled. Will the leaks turn out to be true or will Apple surprise us with something no one has ever seen? Stay tuned next week and I’m sure the Internet will explode with all the information you can handle.
