This week two new gaming consoles are hitting the retail stores just for the holiday season. First one being, the all new Play Station 4 (PS4). Which was released last week by Sony and it sold over 1 million units within 24 hours? Sony’s own President of Worldwide Studios tweeted out the number in excitement. PS4 is the next generation of gaming console system released by Sony, which introduce better graphics and hardware specs along with the design overhaul. If you thinking about buying one it will cost you about $399. There are also small number of reports of problems with the system like any other new product that hits the market. Sony announced that it knows that some small numbers of systems are facing problems and they’re looking into it. If you like to read more about it then don’t forget to visit this link.

Second gaming console coming this Friday to retail stores is Xbox One made by Microsoft to compete with the PlayStation 4. Xbox one like PS4, offers the next generation graphics and design overhaul along with addition features. Xbox One will be sold at the price of $499.

Another great new this week is for the student on budget. Sprint is teaming up with best buy to offer free year of cellphone service to the students. Plan offers unlimiting talking and texting with 1GB of data free for a year. However there are couple of things or “catches” which can make or break this deal. One is that it’s not totally free you still have to pay fees and taxes each month which depends on the location you live in. Second you have to buy the phone at full price. There are numbers of phones available for sale but the one that stands out from the list is the newly released Nexus 5 by Google for $449. If you are thinking about taking an advantage of this deal then head over to this link: Engadget.com for more information.
