Rockstar Games revealed the price for Grand Theft Auto VI today and confirmed that pre-orders start at midnight local time tomorrow. Standard editions carry a price of $79.99. The Ultimate Edition raises that figure to $99.99 and bundles an exclusive collection of premium vehicles, weapons, apparel, and actions that thread through the story of protagonists Jason and Lucia.
Robin Shute already owns four Pikes Peak International Hill Climb wins. His latest machine, the SendyCar, started life as a ground-up project meant to push even harder. A central tub from a Formula 4 car forms the safety cell. A motorcycle-derived V8 with turbos sits behind the driver and should deliver around 850 horsepower while the whole car stays near 1,300 pounds. The layout mixes exposed front wheels with more enclosed rear sections, a deliberate choice for the unique demands of the mountain course.
A three wheeled roadster in supercar clothing recently crossed the auction block and turned plenty of heads along the way. From a distance the sharp creases and menacing front end easily pass for a Lamborghini Aventador in full flight. Move in closer and the proportions shift. A single large rear tire sits centered under an otherwise familiar open air cabin while Polaris script still marks the sides.
Metroid Prime arrived on the GameCube in 2002 with a first-person view that already set it apart from most games of its time. Players explored alien ruins and fought through creatures while guiding Samus through a living world. A new fan project now carries that perspective into virtual reality on PC with controls that respond to actual body movements.
Apple’s refreshed AirPods Max 2, priced at $399 on Prime Day (was $549), immerse you with a listening experience that grabs your attention right away and keeps it there without you having to think about it. The improved noise cancellation eliminates common distractions, such as road rumble or workplace noise, keeping the music front and center. When someone nearby begins talking, the headphones detect it and lower the volume for you, allowing you to hear what’s going on outside in crystal clear detail until the conversation is over. Pairing with Apple devices happens automatically and switches in the blink of an eye, while the USB-C connector allows for both quick top-ups as well as wired playback with CD-quality sound.
