Hasta La Gadget!

Remember how TV Guide relaunched its mobile app for iOS last summer? Well the company’s Android app, One-Stop TV, is finally catching up with the iOS version thanks to a complete redesign. The app includes TV Guide’s popular Watchlist feature, a personalized profile which lets you find different ways to watch shows — from sources like TV, on-demand, streaming and DVD. One-Stop TV automatically links to the HBO GO, Hulu Plus, The CW, MAX GO and Crackle apps, allowing you to access shows instantly. Another new feature, New Tonight Trending, provides a “social hot list” of what others are watching. But wait, there’s more! The app gains a heavy dose of social networking integration plus content filtering, curated watchlists (including topics such as celebrities and sports) and original editorial content. Want to try it out? Follow the Play Store link below, then check out the PR after the break.

Even as we await next generation consoles, Sony is extending the battlefield for the current generation by focusing on Brazil. In an event today it announced that for the first time it will be building PlayStation 3s locally in Manaus, a move executives stated will inject $300 million into the local economy and drive “significant” price reductions in the region. Brazilian gamers can also expect more game release support, with news that The Last of Us will have a localized version available simultaneous with the worldwide launch, and GTA V will be the first game in the series to include Brazilian Portuguese localization. That’s a major shift for the area, especially considering the PlayStation 2 (yes, that’s a 2) only officially launched in Brazil in 2009. As the company extends its “Viva Em Estado Play” marketing campaign, it will also offer a 250GB PS3 bundled with God of War: Ascension for R$1,099, and is running a contest to win the first Brazilian-built PS3.

Starz Play has had a home on iOS since October, but now it’s made the jump to Android, and it’s brought Encore Play and Movieplex Play along with it. By wielding the apps, users can stream video from the TV network over WiFi and 3G — provided they have a cable subscription with AT&T U-verse, Cox, DirecTV or Verizon. Comcast customers aren’t entirely left out in the cold, however, as they can already catch content licensed from the television channel through the Xfinity website and apps. If you’re ready to get your fill of Starz flicks, hit the bordering source links for the downloads.

[Thanks, Artem]

It’s spring / season finale time, and as the temperatures rise outside the TV shows we’ve been watching all winter are starting to fade away. Meanwhile, the NBA and NHL playoffs are just starting to get good with plenty of interesting matchups to be found. Finally, Gamer hits shelves this week, the first of post-converted 3D Blu-rays created due to a deal between Lionsgate and Samsung. Look below for the highlight this week, followed after the break by our weekly listing of what to look out for in TV, Blu-ray and videogames.

Season four of this comedy wraps up this week and NBC has not indicated whether or not it will be returning for another semester. Unfortunately, even as fans of the show, watching this last season go on without creator Dan Harmon has us wondering if coming to an end now is actually the better option (remember Heroes?) Of course, we’re still in for six seasons and a movie, so we’ll see what happens.
