PS4 Pro

Sony announced the PS4 Pro.

It can do 4K HDR gaming out of the box, will be forwards compatible for old games with a patch, and has a 1TB drive inside.

It’s launching THIS November, and will be $399. That is an aggressive price. Well done Sony.

(Personally it’s a little weird to give a console a “pro” name since the market for consoles are already small… and already mean someone who plays games enough to need a dedicated device… but they are pricing it for everyone).

so this is the PS4 I've been waiting for.... it'll be able to play PS3, PS2 and PS games?

The quest for the ultimate Star Wars lightsaber

With a new Star Wars movie out, the original lightsaber is once again on everyone’s minds — but what if you want to get hold of the most authentic, gorgeous, over-the-top version possible? Turns out Star Wars fans have that problem solved. I talked to some of the incredible artists and engineers that are making lightsabers so accurate, the production team for The Force Awakens turned to them for help.

Along the way, I tracked down an item that’s been a holy grail for me since I was 7: the ultimate replicate of Luke Skywalker’s The Empire Strikes Back saber. Be sure to watch the video from my colleague Tyler Pina.

Visual Guide To Marvel Character Movie Rights

This is a great chart. It’s a handy way to explain to people why Spider-Man hasn’t sown up in any Avengers movies (despite being an Avenger) and why there are so many X-Men stand alone movies (because Fox needs something).

It’s the shared rights that confuse me a little. Universal has Namor? What are you going to do with Namor all by himself? Also the Scarlet Witch / Quicksilver thing is odd. They’re mutants, but Marvel won’t be allowed to call them Mutants in Avengers 2.

I’m probably going to link back to this a lot as I continue to rant about the mistreatment of Spider-Man in film.

I like how Stan Lee is included
