To celebrate the release of Finding Dory on DVD and Blu-ray, we have five signed posters to give away.
The film’s playful and plentiful bonus offerings include “Piper,” the theatrical short film starring an irresistible sandpiper hatchling; an all-new mini short featuring interviews with Dory’s pals from the Marine Life Institute; a behind-the-scenes look at the most challenging character Pixar has ever created; never-before-seen deleted scenes, including a digital exclusive featuring the Tank Gang from “Finding Nemo” who make it their mission to get Marlin and Nemo to the Marine Life Institute; and much, much more.
“Finding Dory” features an all-star voice cast, reuniting Ellen DeGeneres (“The Ellen DeGeneres Show”) and Albert Brooks (“This is 40”) as Dory and Marlin, the ever-optimistic blue tang and the uptight but loyal clownfish. Ed O’Neill (“Modern Family”) lends his voice to “septopus” Hank, Kaitlin Olson (“It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”) voices whale shark Destiny, and Ty Burrell (“Modern Family”) gives voice to beluga whale Bailey. Dory’s doting parents Charlie and Jenny are portrayed by Eugene Levy (“Schitt’s Creek”) and Diane Keaton (“Love the Coopers”), and 12-year-old Hayden Rolence (“Beta Persei”) steps in as Nemo, the young clownfish with a lucky fin.
Thirteen years after the original, audiences get a new chapter in the story of their favorite forgetful blue tang. As returning director Andrew Stanton describes, “I realized that I was worried about Dory. The idea of her short-term memory loss and how it affected her was unresolved. What if she got lost again?” His response is a touching tale of friendship and family that’s truly unforgettable … perhaps even for Dory.

The front speakers have good audio quality but the volume is not particularly high .
Display
For this Xperia XZ, Sony has decided to use a panel with full HD resolution, a choice that while it may seem sensible in terms of consumption, the other could turn up their noses at those who would like to see in a top of a display with higher resolution range. The phone has a 424ppi on the 5.2 inch device.
With wide viewing angle and excellent vision in the light of the sun, of this panel, I particularly appreciated the blacks, almost comparable to those of an AMOLED.
Battery Life
The battery is a 2900 mAh with technology Quick charge Qnovo Adaptive charging that based on usage, allows you to control and adjust the battery charging to maximize battery life over time. It ‘also supported QuickCharge 3.0 but only via optional charger.
With heavy use, in fact, they are on average managed to cover 12 and 14 hours use on about 3 hours and a half of the active display. the classic Sony STAMINA power saving systems that increase autonomy in case of necessity limiting, of course, some features, connectivity and performance can definitely be helpful
No problem with the Wi-Fi, dual band and support ac protocol and DLNA certified. Also do not miss the Remote Play which allows for remote playback of PlayStation 4, this works very well on the Xperia XZ.
The app drawer can also be sorted by name or date of installation, and you can also customize the shortcuts in the drop-down notification where there is also a slide for adjusting the backlight.
Camera and Multimedia
The camera interface can be managed through swipe to switch to another shooting mode. Besides being able to take pictures in automatic mode with scene recognition we also have a manual mode with separate adjustments. The maximum photo resolution is 23 megapixels in 4: 3. In 16: 9, it drops to 20 megapixels. Using a 2 to 8 megapixel resolution, you can choose from several preset scenes.
The videos have maximum 4K resolution in addition to the FHD 30 and 60fps. Not missing several filters, some preloaded, others installed via Play Store.
The shots are more than fair failing to substantially keep the details in good condition quality lighting without degrading much when conditions become more difficult.
Low light photo on Christmas Lights on a bush, it came out very well
Low light shot again
In all the shots, however, there is always a persistent background noise that you notice when we carry out the crop and also an effect “lens flare” quite marked in certain circumstances.
The colours are natural, not overly saturated, and the white balance is usually accurate as the HDR which is well balanced.
Looks at the detail in the sky and in the background
The sound quality via the stereo speakers is clean but lacks the lower tones and with a volume not particularly high. Through settings we can improve the quality of compressed music files, equalize the sound and activate a surround effect.

This visual compendium is an instant trip back in time to celebrate one of the truly majestic pioneering marvels of early home computing in the Sinclair ZX Spectrum. Released back in April 1982 and brought a leap forward in colour graphics which was perfectly embodied by the now recognisable rainbow stripes. It would go on to create a fleet of Sinclair as memory size increased.
This compendium features over 120 classic ZX Spectrum games, showcasing the visuals and graphics that made both the games and the computer that is engraved in the memories of all who used it. Every page is just full of memory flashback inducing images which bring each game to life once more. The amount of care and attention to detail is evident with each turn page.
What makes this book a must for any fan of the ZX Spectrum is the exceptional extras included from entries from the very developers, artists and publishers of the game’s featured. To see images from the games are amazing but to have the very people responsible for creating them sharing their memories of the ZX Spectrum and what it was like to program for it, enhances each entry.
Of course the Star of the book is the ZX Spectrum itself, and the compendium also looks into its impact on home computing but also how the machine came to be by speaking with its designer Rick Dickinson, taking the reader through its development and history. Learning about the impact it had on not just the British home computing era but for a whole generation of young computer enthusiasts that even today pay homage to this iconic computer.
Once again Bitmap Books has put together the perfect tribute to another historic home computing icon. The passion for it leaps off each page and is no better way to remember and celebrate what the Sinclair ZX Spectrum achieved back in a time where home computing was only just becoming affordable and allowed a whole generation of artists, game designers and users to experience something truly great. This visual compendium will make the perfect gift for any retro gaming fan but is an absolute must coffee table book for those who like me, relished the ZX Spectrum and owe a lot of our passion for computing and gaming to it.
*A copy of the book was supplied for review purposes, Sinclair ZX Spectrum: A Visual Compendium is currently available from Funstockgames For £27.99

Here is a brand-new Persona 5 story trailer! After having his life ruined, the main protagonist of the game must start anew as the newest transfer high-school student at Tokyo’s Shujin Academy. However, he’ll soon discover that he has the ability to enter the hearts of people and force them to confront their true selves (for better or worse).
With his newly discovered powers, the protagonist and his raucous group of outcast friends form the Phantom Thieves of Hearts to help unmask the ills of society. It’s only a matter of time before their actions become noticed by undesirables, so will they be able to bring justice to everyone who deserves it in time?
That’s not all! Today also marks the start of Persona 5 digital pre-orders on PlayStation Network. All digital pre-orders will receive bonus digital content, including the “Protagonist Special Theme & Avatar Set,” which includes a dynamic theme AND 3 protagonist avatars. It also includes an in-game DLC item – the “Izanagi & Izanagi Picaro Set,” which gives players the ability to summon Izanagi from Persona 4 into the picaresque world of Persona 5! It includes 2 Izanagi designs – the original & a special Picaro variant that reflects Persona 5’s aesthetic! That Ryuji Theme & Avatar set that ATLUS launched the other week? We did initially intend for a Nov. 24 release, but due to some last-minute issues, the theme didn’t go live. But! The problem has been rectified and it’s now fully confirmed the theme will be live and free for 24 hours starting today 5rd December at 10am GMT / 11am CET in Europe!
Grab it for free before it’s too late! Persona 5 is a game about the internal and external conflicts of a group of troubled youth who live dual lives. They have the typically ordinary day-to-day of a Tokyo high-schooler – attending class, after school activities and part-time jobs. But they also undertake fantastical adventures by using otherworldly powers to enter the hearts of people. Their power comes from the Persona, the Jungian concept of the “self;” the game’s heroes realize that society forces people to wear masks to protect their inner vulnerabilities, and by literally ripping off their protective mask and confronting their inner selves do the heroes awaken their inner power, and use it to strive to help those in need. Ultimately, the group of Phantom Thieves seeks to change their day-to-day world to match their perception and see through the masks modern-day society wears.
Persona 5 will release on 4th April 2017 in the Americas and Europe, for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3. Pre-orders are now available at participating retailers for either version of the game.

Putting the highchair together was very simple and only took a few minutes – the instructions that came with it walk you through each step of the construction and use.
The chair itself has a large number of possible adjustments ranging from the height of the chair (there are 5 possible height adjustments), the calf support and even the footrest (which alone has 3 different positions). Adjusting the footrest makes it easier for your baby to both stay in the position you want him in and also makes it more comfortable.
It can also recline with 5 different positions available depending on your particular requirements at the time.
One of the key features is the ability to rotate the seat 360 degrees with a simple press of a button. This is an extremely useful feature, and one we use a lot!
The shoulder harnesses are very easy to adjust to fit your baby and they feel very secure when clipped together. It’s also very easy to release them with a single press.
There is also an insert for the seat for newborns and very young babies that is easy to fit and remove and makes the chair more comfortable.
Having the tray attached is very useful for placing anything you need in front of both you and the baby – just make sure bowls are just out of reach of your little one otherwise things might get messy – take it from us!
The highchair is also foldable if you need to transport it around, although for most people it will probably stay in one place.
The highchair is quite frankly a must for anyone with a baby or infant that they want to sit comfortably and securely whilst feeding them. Our baby felt so secure and comfortable that he has fallen asleep in the chair on more than one occasion! Although sleeping in the chair is not recommended.
The Joie Mimzy 360 Highchair is available now priced around £140 and there are multiple designs to choose from too!
