Star Wars The Last Jedi Japanese Rey Sweatshirt from Absolute Cult

With Star Wars The Last Jedi out in cinemas this week, and Christmas just around the corner, why not get yourself (or someone else) a really cool present.

Absolute Cult have a lot of very cool clothes in their online store, including this Star Wars The Last Jedi Japanese Rey sweatshirt.

This is how they describe it:

“Could it really be time for the Jedi to end? Celebrate the latest instalment of the iconic Star Wars franchise with this excellent piece of officially licensed Star Wars merchandise. Made from an 80% cotton / 20% polyester blend, this Star Wars sweatshirt comes with branded neck label and swing tag to prove its authenticity. Officially licensed merchandise with all authorised licensor branding, packaging and labelling. 280gsm heavy-weight garment, perfect for keeping warm. Single jersey back neck tape. Neck, waist and cuff in cotton and elastane rib.”

It comes in Black, White or Sport Grey (the one we have is Sport Grey), and comes in a variety of different sizes for both men and women. They also do it as a t-shirt too!

What drew me to this particular design was just how unique it was compared to a lot of the other Star Wars merchandise out there.

It’s available now priced £32.95 from the Absolute Cult website – whilst you are there why not take a look at some of the other cool things they have.

Two Minute Review : HEX Icon Wallets for the iPhone X

If you have a new iPhone X you will want to take care of it, and HEX have a number of new Icon Wallets to help you do just that.

The collection features three of HEX’s models: The Icon, The Solo, and The Focus. Each is made of genuine leather and come seven iterations, including black, brown, camo/reflective, black/gold, stingray, parchment, and snake.

The Icon Wallet for iPhone X incorporates a slim, modern profile as well as several design directives to establish itself as the gold standard for iPhone wallet cases. The custom molded phone bed is reinforced for strength and includes a camera hole for your photographic pleasure. The case is then wrapped with premium genuine leather for a solid look and feel.

But the apex of this design is in the cover. When closed, the cover is held in place by an elastic closure, providing protection for both your phone and your valuables. When open, the Icon boasts three card slots for ID or credit cards as well as an additional cash pocket tucked behind the card slots. Recommended for one card per slot.

Each wallet features the following:

  • Premium Leather Construction
  • 3 Credit Card Slots
  • Cash Pocket
  • Elastic Closure
  • Custom Molded Phone Bed

Each wallet is very lightweight and doesn’t add that much to the size of the iPhone X. I certainly felt that my X was protected and secure, and the ability to also have a credit card or two with my phone was very useful. Removing the phone was easy as well.

If you have an iPhone X then look no further than HEX for a premium case that will serve you very well.

The two cases shown here are the Black Leather Icon Wallet for iPhone X and also the Parchment Leather Icon Wallet for iPhone X, both available now for $49.95.

Review : PlayStation Anthology

If you are a fan of PlayStation, or of retro gaming, the new PlayStation Anthology book is something you might want to take a look at!

In celebration of a console that brought wonder into the lives of so many, and a brand that reshaped the whole entertainment industry, the authors and Geeks-Line retrace Sony’s incredible journey. Read about the creation of the company following World War II, to the machine’s retirement in the early 2000s.

Featuring 26 interviews with important figures, from throughout the era, recount their experiences with unabashed honesty, painting a detailed picture of the great venture led by Ken Kutaragi. Much like the successful Nintendo 64 Anthology book, the PlayStation Anthology is unique in both form and content.

The PlayStation Anthology hardback book, offers a wealth of fascinating facts and insight into the development of the PlayStation console, the people behind the machine, the games, along with the complete collector’s guide to 4500 titles released in every territory.

To fully appreciate the scale of the PlayStation phenomenon, readers will be given an insight in its genesis, the context in which it was developed, and understand the commercial and marketing power of Sony itself.  The PlayStation Anthology sheds light on the birth of the PlayStation and Sony, the company’s triumph, as well as its shortcomings, strategies, technological advancements and, of course, its fantastical games library.

The book is amazing – it contains such a wealth of information on PlayStation, it’s games and basically everything you ever wanted to know! There are over 450 high quality pages packed with information, pictures and more!

PlayStation Anthology Classic Edition is available now priced £34.90 from Amazon and is a must for your bookshelf.

Win The Odyssey on Blu-ray

To celebrate the release of The Odyssey on Blu-ray and DVD, we are giving you the opportunity to win a copy on Blu-ray.

Acclaimed film director Jérôme Salle brings the story of one of the world’s greatest explorers into homes this December with the release of the stunning film THE ODYSSEY on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital Download on the 11th December.

THE ODYSSEY tells the story of thirty years in the life of captain Jacques-Yves Cousteau (played by Lambert Wilson), the famous researcher, scientist, inventor and filmmaker whose greatest achievement is to have made the general public more curious about the sea.

THE ODYSSEY chronicles a large segment of Cousteau’s life starting with the birth and ending with the death of his son, Philippe, played by Pierre Niney (Yves Saint Laurent). BAFTA nominated Audrey Tautou (Amelie) portrays Simone – Cousteau’s ever supporting first wife who remains by his side during his quests across the ocean. As well as recreating some of Cousteau’s finest adventures and charting him from his buccaneering prime in the Fifties and Sixties to his later years as a converted conservationist, the film also explores the real man behind the icon, whose personal life also caused waves.

Shot on a global scale with scenes filmed in the frozen wastes of Antarctica, with sharks in the Bahamas and in Croatia, Sao Paulo and South Africa, viewers will revel in THE ODYSSEY’s stunning underwater sequences.

Featuring Pluto as a Nintendo Switch exclusive Planet, Vostok Inc. offers the same maddeningly-addictive gameplay, frenetic twin-stick shooting action, and a downright disgusting quest for self-enrichment that brought Vostok Inc. so much adoration from players throughout the solar system.

In Vostok Inc., you play as a corrupt, narcissistic yuppie, hell-bent on raking in as much money as possible in a greed-driven, twin-stick shooter without a conscience.

Piloting your very own ship, explore and exploit more than 40 planets across six different solar systems in your quest to earn ludicrous amounts of MOOLAH!

Start by landing on any planet to begin colonization, build factories, and rake in the big bucks.
