Australia's first Amazon Prime Day is now in full swing - and some of the deals are a lot better than most punters were expecting. Take, for example, the 1TB PlayStation 4 Pro which is currently going for just $379. That's a cool 32% off the sticker price (and around $100 less than a vanilla 1TB PlayStation 4.) The deal also comes with some Fotrnite goodies.
Nintendo might have gotten more buzz in 2017, but Sony's PlayStation 4 just had a quietly excellent year. In fact, it was arguably the system's best run since it came out.
So the launch of Amazon Australia wasn't earth-shattering. In fact, it was downright disappointing, mainly from a price standpoint. It's not all bad news however -- you can still get some bargains if you keep an eye out, such as this deal on Sony's PS4 Pro.
I always thought this should have been a launch feature, but not to worry, it's available now thanks to the latest PlayStation 4 firmware update. If you have a PlayStation 4 Pro, and you're playing one of those pesky games that haven't been patched for PRO PERFORMANCE, you can now activate 'boost mode' to make them perform better.
A lot of families and kids will have gotten a shiny new console for Christmas, and given that Nintendo's new console isn't out until March, chances are that console is either a PS4 or a Xbox One. There's more PS4's in Australia right now, and so there's a good chance that you or someone you know has one.
But part and parcel of the console experience these days is typing things in - names, emails, passwords, the whole lot. And doing so with the controller is a miserable experience. Fortunately, your phone can help.
In truth, 2016 was not "The Year of VR." It was the year of the start of VR. Multiple major tech companies released impressive VR systems that were clearly the first of their kind; flawed and fascinating, destined to be improved upon and replaced. The age of immersive technology is upon us, but its future remains uncertain.
