Geeky: Borderlands 2 Diamond Plate Loot Chest

Posted: 28 Apr 2013 11:11 PM PDT

Borderlands 2 is a huge hit, and if you're a fan of the game, today we have something special that will allow you to show your love for Borderlands 2.

New Borderlands 2 Diamond Plate Loot Chest has been announced, and it comes with a Goliath mask, a code for an in-game Goliath head, 20 cards with codes for Legendary items, four Wanted posters that feature playable characters and window decals featuring the weapon manufacturers. As for the chest itself, it looks amazing, and it will be a great addition to your room, especially if you're a Borderlands 2 fan, or just a video game geek.

Borderlands 2 Diamond Plate Loot Chest is great, but sadly, it doesn't come with a copy of the game. If you're interested, you can get it from ThinkGeek, Gearbox shop or Forbidden Planet for $100. As for availability, Gearbox will massively produce this chest, and we should see Borderlands 2 Diamond Plate Loot Chest available for sale in June.

Hyperkin’s RetroN 5 lets you run NES, SNES, SFC, GENESIS, MegaDrive, Famicom and GameBoy Advance/Color games

Posted: 28 Apr 2013 10:50 PM PDT

Growing up you probably played some of the old school classics on a NES or SNES, and if you're feeling bit nostalgic, or you're just a retro video game fan, today we have a console that can run all these games from your childhood.

RetroN 4 with four slots was originally planned, but the company decided to add another extra slot, and that's how we got RetroN 5. Hyperkin's RetroN 5 comes with five cartridge slots, and you can play NES, SNES, SFC, GENESIS, MegaDrive, Famicom and GameBoy Advance/Color games on it, as long as you have game cartridges.

We have to mention that RetroN 5 plans to achieve 100% compatibility, and it supports both PAL and NTSC cartridges. If you want a complete retro experience, RetroN 5 comes with controller ports for NES, SNES and Genesis, but there's also a Bluetooth wireless controller with microswitch directional pad, Macro buttons, shoulder buttons, home buttons and 4 LED lights that represent number of players. This console comes with standard AV output, but there's a HDMI output as well for HDTV connectivity. In addition, there's a USB port, so you can charge the wireless controller directly from the console.

RetroN 5 looks great, and we should see it available in July for less than $100.
