In July this year, we were looking into the Kuratas mech robot which was literally a giant among men, standing tall at 3.8 meters and making sure even someone like the Undertaker would cower in fear when faced with this 5-ton behemoth. Back then, there was no word as to whether it is for sale or not, only given a vague release date of “sometime later this year.” Well, I guess when we talked about “sometime later this year”, that would have translated to right now. Suidobashi Heavy Industry, the company behind the Kuratas mech robot, has already put it up for those who want to are interested in picking it up, slapping a massive 100 million yen ( $1.25 million) price point on it.
Definitely out of reach for just about anyone else, but for those who do have the money to spare, it could very well be a merry Christmas this year. What would you do if you had $1.25 million to spare, would you splash it on something this extravagant? Parking it in the front yard would definitely ward off anyone who wants to wander about without any permission.

You can more or less say that Halo 4 is going to be a definite hit when it arrives on the Xbox 360, considering the large following that the franchise has garnered over the years. The thing is, you know that this $3 billion franchise needs to meet the expectations of the casual gamer, regular gamer and hardcore fanboys, so plenty of work needs to be done to ensure the optimal gaming experience. This translates to pumping in a whole lot of money as well during the development process, with fingers crossed that a lemon will not be produced. When talking to Polygon Microsoft Studios head Phil Spencer described Halo 4 as the “most important entertainment product in the company” and when pressed on whether it is also the most expensive, he answered, “Absolutely. Nothing’s even close.”
Just how popular do you think that Ubisoft’s upcoming Assassin’s Creed 3 is? Well, for starters, lets just say that it is going to be a surefire hit, considering how the game has already achieved the status of being the most pre-ordered game by Ubisoft to date. In fact, the previous record holder was (no surprises here) Assassin’s Creed Revelations, and it is interesting to note that Assassin’s Creed 3 has already doubled the previous number held by Assassin’s Creed Revelations, now how about that?

Flying drones are not new anymore, but how many of them carry a payload of ping pong balls that it drops on your target? Here is a Kickstarter project, the iStrike Shuttle, which will function as an iOS controlled drone which will carry ping pong balls, looking for unsuspecting victims to scare or surprise them with. The concept was launched at CES last year, and it has gotten its fair amount of attention, and since then, the folks behind the iStrike Shuttle have been hard at work to develop the iStrike Shuttle, making sure it is primed and ready for production.
The Galaxy Nexus was first introduced with just one color option that was similar to Henry Ford’s Model T – it came in just black. Of course, it took a fair number of months before a white version of the Galaxy Nexus was revealed to exist, but somehow or rather, that version never quite made it to US shores. LG could have taken a look at the Nexus’ past and decided to do things differently instead, by working on a white as well as black color version of the upcoming smartphone.
