Disney Plus in MEA incl. South Africa is using Disney Hotstar (India and Asia) platform. So those already using Disney USA/EU/UK should do their homework before making any decision given the less than smooth launch.

Review: Razer Kaira for PlayStation
by Sam Aberdeen on 11 May 2022
Razer originally launched the Kaira headset for Xbox, but now they've brought it to PlayStation consoles. Bringing comfort, a premium aesthetic and terrific sound quality, the Razer Kaira serves as an excellent gaming headset that manages to stand out on the market. Thanks to a great price point, it's also a worthy alternative to licensed competing headsets. First and foremost, let's go over the specs for the Razer Kaira: Compatibility: PS5, PS4, PC, Mobile Connectivity: Wireless 2.4 GHz USB-C Dongle & Bluetooth Razer HyperSense: No Razer Triforce Titanium 50mm Drivers: No Razer Hyperclear Mic: Yes (Non-Detachable Cardioid) Razer Smartswitch: Yes Razer Chroma RGB: No Ear Cushions: Flowknit Memory Foam Metal Accents: No Battery Life: Up to 30 Hours The Razer Kaira immediately makes a good first impression. The headset is packaged neatly with solid foam holding it firmly in place. Tucked beneath the box you'll find a USB-C dongle to connect to your PlayStation. It's also worth noting that most of my testing was done on a PS5 with occasional dives onto PC for comparison, though make no mistake, it feels like an ideal fit for Sony's gaming console. The Razer Kaira is also a simplistic yet beautiful headset. The black and white colour scheme perfectly matches the PS5 and its DualSense controller, meaning it won't stick out resting among your console's accessories. My opinion on RGB implementation changes frequently, but I also appreciate the lack of RGB on the headset as it allows the sleekness of the headset's design to stand out more. In most cases, Razer packs terrific RGB that isn't intrusive at all, but its absence on the Razer Kaira serves the function of prolonged battery life and less clutter on the headset's overall design. When it comes to headsets, comfort is my main priority as I have oddly-shaped ears and tend to wear headsets for every piece of media I consume. Thankfully, the Razer Kaira delivers extremely comfortable memory foam cups with a flexible, easily adjustable headband that allowed me to binge Netflix shows and play Elden Ring for hours without ever feeling strain or discomfort. It's yet another testament to Razer simply offering some of the most comfortable ear cushions on the market. As far as audio quality goes, there's a lot to say about Razer Kaira's premium delivery. It's a notch above most similarly-priced headsets currently available, with crisp and clear sound embracing your ears constantly. Playing Elden Ring, I could hear the wind howling in the wide spaces, the echoed gnarling of creatures in caves, and the roaring punch of the game's soundtrack that booms during many boss fights. In Gran Turismo 7, the headset escalates the rumbling of engines, the tyres squeaking on the concrete, and the crackling of your pit crew through the speakers. In short, the Razer Kaira pairs phenomenally well with a PS5, delivering audio quality on par with Sony's own offerings. Sadly the same can't really be said when using it for non-gaming purposes. While the sound quality still held up considerably well while watching movies on my PC - and watching some of my favourite movies including Interstellar, The Lion King and The Matrix all adds to the fun testing phases of headsets - I noticed that it didn't exactly have the bass-y punch I was expecting, including for music. Nonetheless, the audio is crisp and the sound effects shine through, almost enough that you won't notice that it's just a kick shy of a making a thump. The mic quality also deserves worth mentioning. It's not the clearest I've ever heard, but it eliminates background noise wonderfully and picks up little to no muffles. Unfortunately, the mic comes with one major setback for an otherwise excellent headset: it's non-detachable. This made it difficult to carry around or rest comfortably on a stand. Additionally, the mic was always present even during listening to music or watching movies, and it's a hard bugger to ignore too. The Razer Kaira base model also doesn't come with many of the bells and whistles present on its higher-tier counterpart, the Kaira Pro. This includes a lack of Chroma RGB, HyperSense and halved battery life, but for its asking price (around R1999) which on the modest end of the spectrum, it still a perfectly capable and terrific headset. The Razer Kaira doesn't cut corners with what it offers for its price, delivering fantastic audio quality paired excellently with PS5 and your gaming preferences. The only major downside to an otherwise great headset is the non-detachable and ever-present mic, which doesn't sit well with other applications like simply listening to music or watching movies. That said, when taken as a strict gaming headset accentuated by a subdued design that will fit in with a PlayStation's colour scheme, you need look no further.

Variable Refresh Rate ‘VRR’ Arrives on PS5 This Week
by Community Guest Writer on 26 April 2022
Sony is (finally) releasing VRR this week for PS5. The feature, which was originally meant to release by the end of 2021, will allow gamers to enjoy smoother visuals across supported games on supported TVs. VRR stands for Variable Refresh Rate. It is the technology that dynamically syncs the refresh rate of the display to the GPU reducing visual artefacts such as frame pacing, screen tearing and input lag. PC gamers are no strangers to VRR. In addition, Xbox console owners have been enjoying VRR since the Xbox One X. However, Sony’s VRR implementation has been a long time coming. It also doesn’t help that the company’s Bravia TV range has been trickling out VRR updates for users for over 18 months now. READ MORE: Venom 3 and Ghostbusters Sequel Officially in The Works at Sony Pictures According to the PlayStation Blog, when VRR arrives on the PS5 this week, previously-released games can be fully optimized for the technology through a game update. This means games need to be patched to support VRR on the PS5 and it won’t just work out of the gate. Sony says that in the coming weeks, the following games will receive VRR updates for the PS5: Astro’s Playroom Call of Duty: Vanguard Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Deathloop Destiny 2 Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition DIRT 5 Godfall Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart Resident Evil Village Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege Tribes of Midgard Of course, as time goes by developers will continue to add support to older games. You will need a compatible HDMI 2.1 monitor or TV in order to take advantage of VRR on the PS5. Once connected and set to the correct signal output, you can enable VRR through the Screen and Video settings on the console. Sony says it is best to leave VRR enabled at all times. This is thanks to the ability to apply VRR to PS5 games that don’t support the technology just yet. The company says unpatched games may benefit from improved video quality. However, this experience may differ from game to game so if you have issues, disable the option when launching that game. We don’t know exactly what day the VRR for the PS5 update is expected to release but Sony says “this week” so stay tuned for more.

ASUS Announces Pinnacle Of Performance Live Event And Two New Notebooks
by Robert de Wit on 25 April 2022
ASUS has announced their Pinnacle of Performance live event along with an invitation where they will showcase their new Zenbook Pro 15 Flip OLED and Zenbook S 13 OLED along with other updates to their notebook range. The virtual event will take place on the 9th of May 2022 at 6 pm CAT and is free for anyone to join which you can access here. The technical showcase will give us a deeper look into ASUS’ new Zenbook updates as well their Vivobook line, and will also demonstrate “unheard-of performance capabilities”. READ MORE Halo Infinite Will Finally Get Co-Op Campaign Support in August Excitingly the showcase will unveil the new Zenbook Pro 15 Flip OLED and Zenbook S 13 OLED which both pack impressive screen updates, CPU performance enhancements, and a brand new logo as well. The Zenbook S 13 OLED is the latest in ASUS’ growing lineup of 13″ notebooks and it seems the Taiwanese tech giant has focused on the screen, offering a 2.8k 16:10 OLED panel. The refreshed screen will feature a 0.2ms response time with a claimed 550 nits of peak brightness making it an excellent place for multimedia engagement as well as content creators. “The event will introduce the latest laptop innovations and designs, with unheard-of performance capabilities packed into a premium experience that features brand-new cooling capabilities, unique ergonomic features, intelligent user-centric technology and much more.” The new screen offers the benefits of OLED technology at a consumer-friendly price as well as giving some of the best-looking visuals on an extremely portable and compact device. The Zenbook S 13 OLED weighs just under 1kg and is only 12.7 mm thick (crazy), and is available in a variety of colours – Ponder Blue, Aqua Celadon, Refined White, and Vestige Beige – although we are not exactly sure if all of these colours will make it to South Africa. Even more interesting though is the fact that the S13 OLED will be powered by AMD’s Ryzen 6000 series CPUs, with the choice between the Ryzen 5 6600U or the Ryzen 7 6800U. It will also support up to 32GB RAM and comes equipped with 1TB storage. On the other hand, the Zenbook Pro 15 Flip OLED will sport full Intel internals with 12-Gen processors up to a Core i7-12700H along with Intel’s in-house Arc GPU (up to A370M). The 15 Flip OLED will feature a 2880 x 1620 resolution OLED panel with an impressive 120Hz refresh rate and a 16:9 aspect ratio – why they chose the downgraded aspect ratio compared to the 16:10 found on the S 13 OLED we aren’t sure. In more oddities, the 15 Flip OLED will only support up to 16GB of RAM (considering the smaller 13″ gets double?) but will still offer the same 1TB of storage. Both new models also sport a new ASUS logo which is sleek, subtle and a great improvement over a huge name logo that we have seen on ASUS notebooks in the past. The refined logo also gives the notebooks a much cleaner and minimalist aesthetic really elevating the lineup. Be sure to tune into the Pinnacle of Performance live event on the 9th of May 2022 at 6 pm CAT. Original article on GLITCHED
