Late last month we mentioned that a Sony software manager overseas had tipped that The Last of Us would be heading to the PS4 game console this summer. At the time, we had no other proof that the game was in the works for the new console. That has now changed.
Today a banner turned up on the Sony Entertainment Network online store for The Last of Us Remastered for the PS4. The banner lists a price of $59.99 and says that you can pre-order the game now. Sadly, when you click that banner it gives to a page not found error.
That means one of two things. Either the banner is broken or someone went live with the banner before it was supposed to. Considering the banner has been up since early this morning and is still there as of this writing, it’s probably just broken.

Last week, Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima shared images of the iDroid case via Twitter. It makes the iPhone 5 and 5S look like the eponymous cutting edge walkie-talkie used by Big Boss in Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes. Snake must have been wearing cargo pants in the game, because this thing is huge. 
Kojima also pointed out the features of the case on Twitter. It has a blue light in place of the in-game item’s holographic display and a fake antenna that’s actually a small stylus. The case also has buttons for the iPhone’s sleep and volume controls. The part of the case that covers the phone’s camera lens and flash can also be removed. As a final touch, Kojima encourages fans who will get the iDroid case to download the free MGS V: GZ app. 
According to Metal Gear Informer, Sentinel will release the iDroid case in Japan this October for ¥7,500 (~$74 USD). I don’t know if it will be released internationally. If you’re more of an Attack on Titan fan, you’ll be glad to know that Sentinel also has a 3D Maneuver Gear hand grip iPhone case on its lineup. [via Hideo Kojima & Metal Gear Informer via Siliconera]

At the start of any new year, many people do intend to get into shape, but the thing is, how many of us actually go through the necessary motions in order to shed those pounds around our waist? Signing up for a gym membership is always a good idea, but do you have the perseverance to see through the entire membership without dropping out, so to speak, halfway through the year? The $499.95 Bioresponsive Elliptical Trainer might not leave you with any more excuses for not working out, since it can sit right smack in the middle of your living room.
The Bioresponsive Elliptical Trainer happens to be an elliptical trainer that will automatically adjust resistance so that your heart rate will remain in its selected target zone at all times. Riders will first input their age on the control panel before picking one of the pre-programmed target rates (55%, 75% or 90%) of their maximum recommended target, and you can let the elliptical do all the rest of the adjustments automatically so that your heart rate remains within 5 beats per minute of target. As long as you do not weigh more than 250lbs, the Bioresponsive Elliptical Trainer would more than welcome you to pound its pavement.

Common sense dictates that the brighter the lights on your bike are, the more visible you’ll be to other traffic at night. But according to research from the University of Oxford’s Experimental Psychology Lab, a glowing version of the universal symbol for a bike rider could actually a better way to make drivers aware of your presence.
