Nexus 9 release date and price revealed

Yesterday’s Google event brought us two new highly anticipated devices – the Motorola Nexus 6 phablet and HTC Nexus 9 tablet – along with the Android 5.0 Lollipop operating system and the Nexus Player set-top console. We have already filled you in on the Nexus 6 earlier, but the time has come to detail the new Tegra K1-powered HTC Nexus 9. There had been many rumors flying around about HTC’s newest venture into the tablet market, and most of them were confirmed during the Google event.
The Nexus 9 tablet comes as a powerhouse, with an Nvidia Tegra K1 CPU running the show. The Nvidia Tegra K1 CPU runs at 2.3 GHz with 2 GB RAM and either 16 GB or 32 GB internal storage. The Nexus 9 features a 9 inch display with a 2048 x 1536 resolution and a 4:3 aspect ratio. One of the best features Google and HTC put into the Nexus 9 are the BoomSound speakers we are familiar with from the HTC One M8 flagship and we are glad to see these high-quality speakers on the Nexus 9. The new tablet is 7.9 mm thick and runs on the new Android 5.0 Lollipop OS. The Nexus 9 has an 8 MP rear camera and a 1.6 MP selfie camera. The Nexus 9 also has a massive 6700 mAH battery, which should last for approximately 9 hours of mixed use, according to Google.
The Nexus 9 has a metal frame and a plastic back and it also comes with an optional keyboard that has dedicated home and emoji keys. The optional Nexus 9 keyboard will magnetically attach to the slate and the back piece will bend so that you can position the tablet according to your preference. You will be able to choose from a Wi-Fi Nexus 9 or an LTE one, in Indigo Black, Lunar White and Sand colors. The Nexus 9 16 GB Wi-Fi version will set you back $400 and the 32 GB Wi-Fi version will cost $480, while the LTE Nexus 9 with 32 GB internal storage will retail for $600. You will be able to buy the Nexus 9 starting November 13 in the Google Play Store, Amazon, Best Buy, T-Mobile, Walmart and Staples.

Baldur’s Gate 3’s Xbox Version Will Help PS5

Belgian developer Larian Studios’ work on Baldur’s Gate 3’s Xbox Series S version will improve performance on all platforms, including PS5. The game’s fifth major patch, expected to launch this week, will include upgrades and new features. More details will be revealed later today.
Director of Publishing Michael Douse says PS5 performance improvements may be the “least exciting thing” in the title’s next update, so it sounds like a big one. Larian Studios employees are proud of “finally” implementing tweaks, fixes, and changes, Douse says. Later today, we’ll bring you all the Baldur’s Gate 3 update details.
Those who reached the RPG’s third act have reported technical issues during the narrative’s conclusion, especially in co-op, so today’s update should fix them. New features like a permadeath mode are expected, along with Xbox Series S optimization fixes. What else should be added to the game?

PC Mounts Show PlayStation Trophy Support

We love the PlayStation ecosystem, especially its top first-party studios, but Sony Interactive Entertainment could do more to build goodwill. The long-awaited Trophy support for PS5 games on PC appears to be closer to reality, though nothing official has been announced.
TrueTrophie’s scanners found a new PS5 Trophy list with “PSPC” as a platform. The list, titled “Trophy Set” and unattached to a game, appears to be a test. TrueTrophies notes that developers rarely submit their own platforms to PSN, suggesting Sony is behind it.
TrueTrophies says this platform is separate from PS5 but can connect to it, suggesting compatibility. As PlayStation fans know, PS4, PS Vita, and PS3 games could share a list. In October 2022, Sony added PSN support to Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered’s PC release, allowing players to link Steam accounts to unlock an exclusive skin. Potentially minor, but something we’ll watch.
TrueTrophies lists PlayStation Trophies for serious hunters. They scrape the PlayStation Network’s ominous underbelly with scanners to provide the most up-to-date trophy lists, sometimes dangerously. TrueTrophies posted Marvel’s Spider-Man 2’s trophy list weeks ago, with spoiler titles.

No worries, PS5 Slim SSD upgrades are possible

Next month, the PS5 Slim will replace the original PS5. Its main selling point is its detachable disc drive. Sony’s design change will streamline manufacturing, but consumers will have more flexibility. The refreshed machine will be 30% smaller than its predecessor, reducing its footprint.
But since the manufacturer hadn’t mentioned it, some worried you couldn’t install another SSD. A spokesperson told IGN that “there are no changes with the new model”—you can still install a compatible hard drive to expand the console’s storage.
Note that the new model increases on-board storage from 825GB to 1TB, so you get more space out of the box. However, some games are now so large that you may need a new PS5 SSD.
