Google Just Released 125 Movies in 4K on Google Play for Rental or Purchase for the U.S. and Canada

We have talked about 4K for a long time. The very latest hot topic is that Google is going to release 4K content on its Google Play. Now, Google has made it official - 4K video is available for rental or purchase on Google Play Store. However, currently there are only 125 movies available in 4K on Google Play, and these 4K movies are only accessible in the US and Canada.

The 4K movie price of these 125 4K movies on Google Play Store is $7.99 for a 4K rental and $29.99 for a 4K movie purchase. It should be noted that not all titles can be rented and bought in 4K. Sometimes it's just one or the other. According to the Google Play officials, more titles would be made in 4K on Google Play in the near future.

You can watch your 4K Google Play content on a Chromecast Ultra or on Sony Bravia 4K TVs with Android TV built-in. Interestingly, Google does not mention the Shield, which has 4K video output. It's not clear if that's an oversight or the Shield is somehow lacking support at present.

Seagate introduces 512GB SSD Game Drive for Xbox One

Xbox is far more than a simple gaming console. Many Xbox console owners even use Xbox to watch movies, especially the newly released Xbox One S, which comes with the feature of 4K Blu-ray disc playback. The Xbox One S ships with a big storage of up to 2TB, but the Xbox One is not big enough for gaming and movie watching.   

Very recently, Seagate has introduced a 512GB SSD (solid state drive) game drive for Xbox One, aiming to provide Xbox owners with some extra speedy storage for gaming and movie playback. This would be a great news for those who have long complained about the small storage of Xbox One, which has successfully prevented them from more wonderful games.

The drive even sports Xbox branding, coming in a pretty attractive black and green enclosure with the Xbox logo appearing in one corner.

As for the drive itself, it uses flash storage that should noticeably improve load times over typical mechanical hard drives. The drive also doesn't require a power cable, meaning the single connection to the Xbox is all it requires to work. For those concerned with space, Seagate claims that the 512GB drive should hold up to 15 Xbox One titles on average.

Seagate's Game Drive for Xbox SSD will go on sale in November for $199, and is expected to be available at Gamestop and Amazon. For now, you can read more at Seagate's website.

The Apple iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus have been officially unveiled this morning. But the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are not like any previous Apple iPhone ‘number change’. This update is not simply about adding 2 new phone colors compared to iPhone 6 and 6S. Even the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are different in features and design.

They add IP67 dust and water resistance (good for full submersion in up to 1 metre of water for 30 minutes) for the first time while still retaining the rigid Series 7000 Aluminium introduced last year.
