Sony Announce Laser Projector for Playstation 4

I nearly didn't see this one. It looks like Sony have announced a laser, yes laser, projector for your Playstation 4. We are looking at this device displaying a 120-inch screen, time to take down those picture frames, deploying at 1920 x 720 resolution and should be heading for a Christmas release date.

The projector can also run on batteries. I'm assuming to cut down on cables and power outlets? As the Playstation isn't a console you'd carry around an awful lot. Non confirmed price has been set but we could be looking at around the 350$ mark, remember this is a 720p laser projector.

Thanks GeekCulture

Popcord The Phone Cable you Wish you Had - Promo code inside!

Looking for that next gadget to help you throughout the day? I'm always on the lookout for interesting and stylish products that also serve a purpose without it being too gimmicky. That's where Popcord comes in. A brand new product from Powergoat but what is Popcord exactly?

On paper Popcord is a phone charger cable, simple as that. On the other hand it's a unique, stylish and very practical. At home or while in work we are always rooting around for phone chargers and they either get misplaced or as we know it, someone else uses it.

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FojeLxmZWVM?rel=0&w=560&h=315]

What I like about the Popcord is it's convenient, just attach the product to you keyring or bag then simple unclip the cable from the end and you've got a full functional phone cable. You can pick between a Lightning Port (iPhone 5 or above) or an Micro-USB version, along with a whole bunch of different colours.

Interested in picking one up? You can get 20% off you order using our Promo code BLAST20 at checkout or by clicking this link!

Tom's 'Danish Game Room' Tour

Hey Blast Processors, Tom here!

For those not in the know, I live and work in Denmark. I don't have a Game Room in Denmark, but I do have a Living Room/Lounge area where I have a small collection of games and consoles and I thought it was about time I shared it with you all. I used to share this space with fellow Processor Mathew Boyle but he flown the coop so to speak so it's just little old me now and a distinct lack of RPGs.

A lot's changed at the Tom and Mat Shack since and seeing as we didn't do a Game Room Video like we planned, I did a short one to show what it presently looks like here at the shack. So here's my 'Danish' Game Room, enjoy!

Rest in Peace, Iwata-San

It was announced this morning via a statement from Nintendo that sadly on Saturday, Nintendo's president Satoru Iwata, had passed away. He has been suffering from bile duct growth, causing him to miss E3 in 2014. Nintendo stated he missed this years due to other work commitments.

Once a game developer himself with Nintendo, Iwata was a hugely influential figure within today's gaming community thanks to his fun loving persona and his driving passion for high quality playable games to be at the forefront of Nintendo's consoles. He fronted a large number of the Nintendo Direct videos, speaking directly to us gamers, about what they were working on next.

His inescapable passion for gaming made him more than a company president in a suit.

RIP Satoru Iwata from all of us here at BlastProcess.com.

Sold yet? Check out some of the packs that will be available around launch time:

Warner Brothers, who are publishing the game have stated that they intend to release content for the Starter Pack for 'many years to come' so hopefully we won't see yearly additions of new starter packs and portals. Currently the game will have content based on The LEGO Movie, DC Comics, Ninjago, Wizard of Oz and Back to the Future, with more brands promised for the future.

The mini-figures will include NFC chips similar to those seen in Nintendo's Amiibos and Activision's Skylanders characters, allowing you to place them on the portal and get teleported into the videogame allowing you to take control of them. Get bored of playing the game? Simply remove them from the portal and play with them as normal LEGO.

The game is set to launch in September. For more information check out the official site.
