Experience your favorite PlayStation games the way they were made to be heard with a PlayStation Gold Wireless Stereo Headset, which is currently 27 percent off on Amazon.
Developed by PlayStation, this headset delivers amazing depth and audio clarity, elevating your gaming experience viacustom audio modes created exclusively for PlayStation. When we reviewed the headset, we were impressed with the convincing virtual surround, and the kind of comfort that holds up under marathon gaming sessions — just a few of the pros that earned this headset an 8.5 rating.
Stunning 7.1 virtual surround sound lets you experience all sounds, from big booms to whisper-quiet warnings, with exceptional clarity. Beyond the sound of the games, you’ll also enjoy clear chats thanks to the hidden noise-canceling microphone.
Using the Headset Companion App, you can download custom game modes created exclusively by PlayStation developers that are specifically tuned to enhance the audio in your favorite games. Custom audio modes include those for “Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End,” “Ratchet and Clank” (PS4), “MLB the Show 16,” “Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection,” “Until Dawn,” “Destiny,” “Bloodborne,” “Batman: Arkham Knight,” “Assassin’s Creed Syndicate,” and more.
This model comes in jet black with a solid blue interior, but you can customize your look by swapping out the removable faceplates for something that better suits your unique style. As stylish as they are comfortable, you can easily wear the headphones for hours without any strain to your head or ears.
The headset allows you to connect to any PS game system. Connect wirelessly to your PS4, PS3, or home computer, or connect to your PS Vita system or other mobile devices with the included 3.5-millimeter audio cable. Beyond the headset, this set includes a wireless adapter, 3.5-millimeter audio cable, micro-USB recharging cable, and travel pouch.
This jet black PlayStation Gold Wireless Stereo Headset normally retails for $100 but is currently discounted to $73 on Amazon, providing a $27 (27 percent) discount.
Acer’s Predator Atlas 8 finally has a US release date and price, several months after the company first showed off the handheld in May. The highlight is the Intel Arc G3 Extreme chip inside, which has been adopted by only a couple of other consoles besides the Atlas 8. This version will go on sale exclusively at Best Buy on November 1 for $1,299.99.
Acer originally said the Atlas 8 would arrive in North America in October, but left pricing open at the time. The launch came amid the ongoing DRAM crunch, which has made memory more expensive across the PC industry and complicated pricing for hardware makers.
Gaming laptops and I have a complicated relationship. One of my first gaming rigs was an Acer Predator that was already outdated when I bought it. I was a broke college kid, and that was the best I could afford. So trying out high-end gaming laptops is always fun. But ASUS' ROG Zephyrus G14 is a lot more than a laptop that can run AAA games. It is portable, so you're not lugging around a 2.5kg machine everywhere you go. It is built well, none of that plastic chassis, and can even function as a normal laptop outside of just gaming.
Google Play is borrowing one of the Nintendo Switch’s most useful little tricks. A new Sidekick tool called Playbacks captures a short clip after something interesting has already happened, sparing players from running a screen recorder throughout an entire game.
Playbacks is part of Google Play Store v53.8 and keeps saved clips on the phone. Google first announced it earlier this month, but the new Play Store update marks its arrival for players. Anyone who has watched a perfect win vanish because the record button came too late already understands the appeal.
