Windows PCs now work with the Quest 3, and I tried it out for myself |
Microsoft and Meta have teamed up on a new mixed-reality interface for Windows |
A new mixed-reality interface created by Microsoft and Meta lets you use a Windows PC with a Quest 3 or 3S headset to display large virtual monitors, Digital Trends' Alan Truly reported. It’s in beta and has a few minor issues, but there’s already a lot to love about it. “Meta’s new Quest 3 and 3S are among the best VR headsets for standalone gaming and media consumption,” Alan wrote. “When I want more performance or need to run one of the best Windows apps that aren’t yet available in VR, I can connect to a much more powerful Windows PC.” Read on to find out more about Microsoft’s Mixed Reality Link and how to set it up ... |

Hisense reveals a Sony Bravia Theater Quad competitor ahead of CES |
Hisense has a little pre-CES teaser for us! |
Ahead of the fast-approaching CES 2025 tech event, Hisense has unveiled its HT Saturn wireless Dolby Atmos home theater system, Digital Trends reported, noting that the company has apparently taken a page from Sony's home theater playbook. The new Hisense HT Saturn is a 4.1.2 Dolby Atmos "wireless home theater system" with four speakers and a single subwoofer, which uses a small HDMI ARC/eARC breakout box as a transmitter, which is a similar configuration to Sony's Bravia Theater Quad. Hisense has equipped the Dolby Atmos soundbar alternative with two features that should make it especially appealing to some Hisense TV owners ... |

There was only one winner at the weekend box office

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 raked in $27 million more than second-placed Mufasa: The Lion King |
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 won the weekend box office with ease, raking in a colossal $62 million on its debut weekend in North America. “Bolstered by positive reviews and strong audience scores, the film beat initial expectations of $55 million to $60 million and looks to remain a holiday hit through the New Year,” Variety reported. Mufasa, Disney’s prequel to The Lion King, took second spot, taking $35 million, which was well short of pre-release expectations of $50 million. Variety described it as "a terrible start" for a tent-pole movie that cost more than $200 million to produce and around $100 million to promote globally ... |

Sega could launch its own game subscription service |
It's not certain yet, but it seems like Sega is considering the idea |
Sega's new president, Shuji Utsumi, hinted in a recent BBC interview that the company is considering a game subscription service along the lines of Xbox Game Pass, PlayStation Plus, and Nintendo Switch Online. But as Digital Trends pointed out, with Sega titles on nearly every platform, it's possible that such a subscription service would result in streamers losing access to those titles on the aforementioned platforms. If recent releases like Sonic X Shadow Generations, Shin Megami Tensei V, and the Like a Dragon series are yanked from other platforms and isolated into a Sega-only subscription, it should drive customers to it — but perhaps at the cost of community goodwill. |
