PlayStation Plus Cloud Storage Limit Increased To 100GB


PlayStation Plus offers you more than just the ability to play online on your Sony console or get a handful of free titles every month. It also backs up your game saves and profiles to the cloud. Sony initially offered subscribers 10GB of cloud storage but it’s now making a significant increase. The company has announced that it’s increasing the PlayStation Plus cloud storage limit to 100GB.

Sony will be expanding the cloud storage space for all PS Plus subscribers to 100GB from 10GB in early February. This will provide console owners with more space to back up their game saves and profiles to the cloud. This allows them to save their game progress and character profiles on one system and then continue where they left off on another PS4 console without losing any progress.

The company has also confirmed the PS Plus free games lineup for the month of February 2019. The lineup includes For Honor and the entire first season of Hitman. The lineup also includes Divekick and Metal Gear Solid: Guns of the Patriots for the PlayStation 4 as well as Gunhouse and Rogue Aces for the PS Vita.

These games will be available starting February 5th, 2019 and will be available through March 5th. Sony is also reminding subscribers that starting March 8th, it will no longer offer PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita games as part of the PS Plus monthly free games lineup.

Fallout T-51 Power Armor Statue is Cooler than the New Game

Valentine’s Day is almost here, and if you have a Fallout fan in your life, this Modern Icons #7 Fallout T-51 Power Armor Statue will look fantastic on their desk. It’s ok if your Fallout fan likes Fallout 76, they probably still deserve a gift.

The statue was designed from Bethesda digital assets and looks just like the one from the game. It is painted in a battle-worn and weathered scheme and looks fantastic. The construction is injection molded plastic.

The injection-molded statue stands 9″ tall on a 4″ diameter base and weighs in at one pound. It’s in stock and up for order now from ThinkGeek for $49.99.

You can pre-order Meizu’s crazy phone with no port for $1,299

If you’re interested in Meizu’s insane smartphone that doesn’t have any port or button, you can now pre-order it on Indiegogo for $1,299. Supply is limited as the company is only selling 100 units for now.

The Meizu Zero looks like any modern phone at first sight. But if you look beyond the display, you’ll notice that there’s absolutely zero port or button.

The volume button has been replaced with a touch-sensitive surface. The fingerprint sensor is integrated in the display. Wireless charging is the only way to charge the device. And if you’re thinking about putting your SIM card in the phone, there’s no SIM slot either — I hope your carrier supports eSIM cards.

There’s no speaker grille either. Meizu is using the screen as a speaker by sending vibrations through the display. It also works as a microphone, apparently.

It’s unclear if this is just a giant joke or an actual product. But it’s an interesting experiment. For $1,299, you get a phone with a 5.99-inch AMOLED display and a Snapdragon 845 system-on-a-chip. The company expects to ship the device in April 2019.
