German retailer puts Samsung ATIV Q up for pre-order, suggests it’ll cost €1,599

German retailer puts Samsung ATIV Q up for preorder, suggests it'll cost 1,599

Samsung released a plethora of shiny new products at its Premiere 2013 event last month, but the company didn’t exactly dive into too many pricing and availability specifics. One of these novel devices was the ATIV Q, a 13.3-inch, 3,200 x 1,800 slider that runs both Windows 8 and Android (4.2). Now, if German retailer ARLT Computer is to be believed, Samsung’s intriguing machine could come with a hefty €1,599 price tag in Europe — a figure the company hasn’t confirmed yet. Furthermore, the listing on the pre-order page suggests the ATIV Q could go on sale as early as July 8th, though according to Notebook Italia, the outfit has said the dual-OS device won’t be available until sometime in August. Either way, it won’t be too long before it hits shelves, so it looks like you may need to break that piggy bank soon enough.

You can: the company has just started pre-orders for its Jet heads-up display in a $499 Pilot Edition. The inaugural eyewear will come with apps for both cyclists and triathletes, and it should beat the production model to market by several months. There’s even a financial incentive for that impatience, as the pricing goes up to $599 on July 21st. If you don’t mind a potentially rough experience while tracking your mid-race performance, the Pilot Edition is waiting at the source link.

Amazon splits PS4 pre-orders into ‘Launch’ and ‘Standard’ editions, Launch is already sold out

Amazon offers 'Launch Edition' PS4 for wealthy earlyadopters, instantly sells out

Amazon, with its limited supply of PS4s, has cleaved its product listing into two, to help people get a handle on when to expect their pre-order to arrive. Those who’ve already stumped up their cash are likely to find they’ve been assigned a “Launch Edition,” guaranteeing that they’ll get the console on the first day of release — and they’ll probably have received the explanatory email copied after the break. If Amazon is able to guarantee delivery for more stock, perhaps the Launch Edition will become available again — or perhaps those who order the Standard edition (which is identical except for the delivery promise) will be automatically upgraded. Either way, it looks like demand has already outpaced launch-day supply at this retailer.

Early Xbox One buyers to get Day One Edition consoles

Xbox One Day One Edition will commemorate your willingness to buy sight unseen

Let’s say you’re excited about the Xbox One… so excited, in fact, that you’re okay with spending $499 on it before you’ve even touched the gamepad. Microsoft wants to accommodate you: buy a system quickly enough and you’ll get the limited Day One Edition. While the core system won’t change, you’ll get to flaunt your early adopter status through both a slightly customized controller and a special Xbox Live achievement. Microsoft is also offering a matching (though separate) Xbox Live 12-month Gold pass that bundles an exclusive Killer Instinct character. If those rarities are enough to encourage an early purchase, you can reserve one through Microsoft and other retailers. Let’s just hope that there aren’t too many launch day quirks.

PS4 now available for pre-order on Amazon at $399

PS4 now available for preorder on Amazon at $399

Microsoft may have been the E3 matinée, but Sony’s late-night showing was quite impressive — offering a gaming device that’s $100 less, with plenty of other notable features to help it stand out of the next-gen crowd. And if you were waiting around until after the PlayStation press conference tonight before deciding which console to grab, it’s finally time to settle on your top choice (if you plan to go with only one, that is). Now that the PS4 has been priced at $399 and a general timeframe of availability has been set for this holiday season, it’s now time to head to online retailers to pre-order a unit of your very own. So far we’ve seen the page pop up on Amazon, though we imagine it will only be a matter of time before several other retailers follow suit. If you know without a doubt that this is the next-gen gaming console for you, you know what to do below.

Xbox One now available for preorder

November is still several months away, of course, but that doesn’t mean you have to start camping out at your nearest electronics outlet just to get your hands on an Xbox One before the holiday season. Fortunately, a large number of online retailers are already offering the ability to pre-order the $499 console. We received an email from Microsoft pointing us to the page on its own online Store, but companies like Amazon, ShopTo, GameStop, GAME and Best Buy are following suit. So if you know for sure that you’re ready to make the commitment, head to one of the above outlets to make your claim.

Update: If you’re a Wally World patron, you’ll be glad to know that Walmart is now accepting pre-orders as well.

PSA: Acer Iconia W3 up for pre-order at Office Depot, Staples starting at $350

PSA Acer Iconia W3 up for preorder at Office Depot, Staples starting at $350

It’s always refreshing when a product catches us by surprise, but thanks to several leaks, the Acer Iconia W3 definitely didn’t fall into that category. So, when it was unveiled at Computex 2013, we were ready for it in all its 8.1-inch 1,280 x 800, dual-core Intel Atom, Windows Pro 8 glory. The wee slate also ushered in Microsoft’s temporary offer of Office for free on 10-inch or smaller Windows Pro tablets, and you can now pre-order the 32GB version at Staples for $380 or $350 from Office Depot, while a 64GB version from Amazon will run you $430. An optional keyboard should arrive soon for $90, so if you’ve been coveting a small form-factor Windows tab — RT-free — hit the source.

BlackBerry Q10 available for pre-order on AT&T tomorrow, $200 on contract

BlackBerry Q10 available for preorder on AT&T tomorrow, $200 on contract

Got a taste for a physical keyboard, but you’re currently on AT&T without any QWERTY-laden LTE options? That’s about to change. The BlackBerry Q10 has already been announced for the GSM network, but now we’ve been informed that pre-orders will officially begin tomorrow and you can get one of your own for $200 with a two-year commitment. Not exactly the price we were hoping for, but it appears that you’re paying a little extra for the nostalgia of tactile keyboards. We also don’t have any word on exactly when we can expect to see the device hit retail or virtual shelves. Official statement from AT&T below.

Razer puts 14-inch Blade up for pre-order

Razer puts 14inch Blade up for preorder

Razer teased us when it unveiled the 14-inch Blade last week: a rare blend of portability with gaming performance, and we couldn’t even put money down? Well, we can at least do that now. The smaller of the two Blades is now up for pre-order, with prices ranging from $1,800 to $2,300 depending on the SSD capacity. Whatever the storage level, players are getting the same 14-inch 1,600 x 900 display, quad-core 2.2GHz Core i7 processor, 8GB of RAM and GeForce GTX 765M graphics. Any fresh orders should ship within two to three weeks, which fits just inside of Razer’s promised launch schedule — and just ahead of our summer vacations.
