Xbox One without Kinect to cost $399

Microsoft has announced that starting  on June 9th, in all markets where the Xbox One is sold, Microsoft will introduce an Xbox One priced at $399. Possibly a reaction to user demand.

 Also arriving in June, many of your favourite apps will now be available across Xbox devices without an Xbox Live subscription. This includes apps and services like Netflix, Machinima, Twitch, Upload, GoPro, HBO and many more. 

Also launching in June for Xbox One, Deals with Gold will offer discounts on some of great titles for the Xbox One with significant savings for Xbox Live Gold members. The first titles include “Forza Motorsport 5” and “Ryse: Sone of Rome.”

BlackBerry's Z3 "Jakarta Edition" unveiled

More news from the world of entry level/ emerging market smartphones as BlackBerry has taken the wraps off its Z3 "Jarkarta Edition." This is exclusive to the Indonesian market so we can't get too excited about it unless it comes to North America in some form (like the Q5 did). 

BlackBerry Z3, Jakarta Edition will keep Indonesian users better connected and more productive with a 5" display, long lasting battery and the best Bahasa typing experience on a touchscreen. A limited edition model featuring the inscription "Jakarta" on the back of the device will be available for a limited period, to commemorate the launch of the first BlackBerry smartphone built specifically for the Indonesian market.
