Toshiba’s ultra-fast microSD cards will let you shoot like a pro with small cameras

It’s easy to find fast storage if you have a big camera, but not so much if you have a very tiny mirrorless cam that uses microSD cards — more often than not, you’re stuck in the slow lane. You won’t be held back for much longer if Toshiba has its…

Clearer photo of mysterious unidentified flying object taken in Kansas

A clearer photo of the mysterious unidentified flying object in Texas has surfaced. The image—enhanced above—clearly shows a boomerang-shaped blended wing object with two exhaust nozzles that seems clearly different from a B-2 bomber. It was "completely silent" and did "severe 180 degree turns in the sky in the shape of an S."

Pokemon Fans In Japan Will Get Two Characters For Watching The Movie

We know that Pokemon is a pretty big deal in Japan. Not only do they have Pokemon-themed airplanes, they also have Pokemon Centers, and recently it was revealed that by attending a Japanese football match, attendees had the chance of winning themselves a limited edition Pokemon-themed 3DS XL.

Well it looks like the Pokemon promotions are set to continue because in conjunction with Pokemon the Movie: Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction, it looks like moviegoers will be able to redeem themselves a couple of Pokemon characters that they can add to their Pokemon X and Y collection.

The first Pokemon that gamers can redeem would be Diancie, for obvious reasons. The Diancie Pokemon will be at level 50 and will come with the Diamond Storm, reflect, Moonblast, and Return set of moves. The next character, Darkrai, will be available to moviegoers who book tickets in advance for the movie.

The Darkrai character will come with its own set of moves that includes Dark Void, Dark Pulse, Phantom Force, and Dream Eater. Unfortunately there was no mention as to whether a similar promotion will be offered to Pokemon gamers in other parts of the world, but in the meantime it looks like it will be a Japan-exclusive.

Pokemon the Movie: Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction is currently pegged for a release in Japan’s cinemas on the 19th of July.

UbiArt Engine Powered Prince Of Persia Could Be In The Works [Rumor]

UbiArt Engine Powered Prince Of Persia Could Be In The Works [Rumor]It has been a while since we have seen a new Prince of Persia game, HD remakes not included, so could there be a new title in the works? Well that seems to be what French website Le Portail du Jeu Video is reporting. According to them, it seems that a new Prince of Persia title is in the works and it could be going back to its 2D roots, although thankfully with improved graphics.

Assuming that the rumors are true, this new Prince of Persia game could be taking advantage of the UbiArt engine that is used by both Rayman: Legends and the upcoming game, Child of Light. If this is true, we can only imagine that the game would look really good and would indeed be very reminiscent of how the game was back in the day of the Gameboy, except that it would have newer graphics that we can look at and appreciate.

By using this engine, it will also allow for character models to have every part of their body animated, which could add to a more dynamic game and immersive experience. Of course this is all a rumor for now, but at the same time we are not opposed to the idea. Could the game be announced in time for E3 2014 which is taking place in June?

We guess we will just have to wait and see, but until then, take it with a grain of salt, but what do you guys think? Are you digging the idea of a new Prince of Persia title powered by the UbiArt engine?

5 Million Xbox One Consoles Shipped To Date

5 Million Xbox One Consoles Shipped To DateJust the other day we reported that the Sony PlayStation 4 had managed to sell over 7 million units around the world, but what about Microsoft’s Xbox One? The last we heard from Microsoft was back in January where they announced 3.9 million units sold to date. However Microsoft has recently posted on its blog their latest figures and according to the company, they have managed to sell 5 million Xbox One consoles since its launch.

However Microsoft did state that these sales were to retailers, so it does not necessarily mean that there are actually 5 million Xbox One consoles that have been bought be the end-user. In fact there is a good chance that number could be lower, but then again Microsoft would only supply their retailers with that many consoles only if they saw some kind of demand, right? Either way we guess it still does not match up to the PlayStation 4.

This is despite the fact that the recently released Titanfall game helped to boost Xbox One sales in the UK. In the meantime, NPD has also provided some figures of their own regarding the sales of the Xbox One in the US. According to their findings, the Xbox One managed to sell 311,000 units in March and has averaged 2.9 games sold per console.

Interestingly enough, it seems that the Xbox 360 is still selling pretty well and based on NPD’s figures, Microsoft managed to sell 111,000 units in March, which is apparently more than any other seventh generation console. Microsoft also appears to be dominating the software market share at 49% which is a combination of both Xbox One and Xbox 360 games.

Interesting figures and while it might still be too early to tell who has won the console race, it seems that Sony does have the lead at the moment. Perhaps when more games are released and both consoles hit maturity, that’s when we will be able to see which platform truly shines.
