[Giveaway] Epic PS4 Sports Bundle Posted: 03 Dec 2015 11:01 AM PST In case you’ve just missed the Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals, and can’t afford to pay the full price for a console, Walyou Deals gives you the chance of winning an epic PS4 sports bundle that includes not only Sony’s video game console, but also three extremely popular sports games. This week’s featured giveaway at Walyou Deals includes Sony’s PlayStation 4 along with 3 games that should make any sports enthusiast scream with joy: FIFA 2016, NBA 2K16 and Madden NFL 16. PlayStation 4 has made the news a lot recently, not only because it emerged as the big winner of this year’s Black Friday sales (despite not having as many titles as Microsoft’s Xbox One), but also because Sony announced that it has unlocked the 7th CPU core on the video game console. Not all of us were born to be athletes, but video games gave us the chance to score goals, shoot balls through hoops, or do a touchdown. It may not be the same as the real thing, but it still is very entertaining, and enables us to forget for a moment about the problems of our daily lives. The first game included in the bundle, FIFA 16, was released back in September, and gained generally positive reviews, mainly for its realism. Even though it’s the 23rd game in the FIFA series, it’s the first one to include women’s national teams. To properly reproduce female player motion, EA Sports used motion capture on several popular American and Australian women footballers. Madden NFL 16, another EA Sports creation, brings back the EA Trax soundtrack, after being gone in the previous three installments. The soundtrack can also be streamed on Spotify, so you can enjoy the music even when not playing the game. Besides that, the new game features better aesthetics, new player spotlights and dynamic goals, on top of revolutionary on-the-field cameras. Unlike FIFA 16 and Madden NFL 2016, which were developed by EA Sports, NBA 2K16 was brought to life by Visual Concepts and 2K Sports. The 17th installment in the 2K franchise was released on September 29th for the PS4, so it’s still a very fresh game. If players decide they don’t like the real life teams, they have the ability to create a custom one. New features include tattoos that can be added when creating players, better visuals, improved player costumization and overall gameplay. Before signing up, go over the official rules, to make sure that you are eligible to enter the sweepstakes and win the prize. Age and location restrictions apply, so read the rules carefully. The giveaway will end in 14 days, and the winner will be announced on or around December 16. The bundle is $528 in value, so this definitely isn’t a giveaway you should turn a blind eye to. Not at last, it should be mentioned that neither Sony nor their PlayStation division are affiliated with this contest. Be social!

The Coolest Star Wars R2-D2 Gifts in the Galaxy Posted: 03 Dec 2015 07:36 AM PST The two important robots from the original Star Wars trilogy were C-3PO and R2-D2 and they became some of the most iconic characters in the series. Originally R2-D2 was described by George Lucas as a "thermocapsulary dehousing assister", so just a cork popper, but he became much more through his adventures.
The importance of this little robot can hardly be overstated since he was inducted into the Robot Hall of Fame in 2003 and the Smithsonian Institution considered him to be one of the most significant 101 Objects that Made America. While some of the fans were frustrated at times by the ramblings of C-3PO or the annoying slapstick humor of Jar Jar Binks, we don't think you can find someone who doesn't like R2-D2 and the amount of merchandise inspired by him should only make this more evident. Let us take a look at some of the most amazing R2-D2 gadgets you can find at the moment to give you some inspiration for your future presents.

X5C RC Quadcopter Drone Makes a Perfect Christmas Gift Posted: 03 Dec 2015 06:59 AM PST Both teenagers and grown-ups freak out with joy whenever they see RC vehicles such as cars or tanks, so imagine what reaction they’d have if they found such an amazing drone as the X5C RC quadcopter under the Christmas tree. Saving memories in digital format is one of the best treats of the modern age, and camera-equipped drones such as the X5C RC quadcopter are quickly becoming part of this. Remote-controlled flying toys don’t have a long history, but the features of each of them already are impressive. If you add to the tricks they can perform the fact that some of them pack cameras for aerial photography, you’ll soon realize that drones are perfect toys for all seasons. Two of the aspects that set the X5C RC quadcopter apart from many other drones are the headless mode/intelligent orientation control (IOC) System, which enables users to fly it without any prior adjustments of the aircraft’s position, and the 6-axis flight control systems (3 gyroscopes and 3 accelerometers) that allows the drone to be still while filming. The footage filmed with the HD camera is stored on a microSD card (the drone includes a 2GB one in the package), and according to the manufacturer, a 4GB card can store video shot on multiple flights. The included USB SD card reader enables you to transfer the AVI and JPEG files from the drone to a computer and upload them to Instagram or facebook within seconds. This particular drone comes with a bonus 3.7V 500mAh Li-Po battery that effectively doubles flying time. Each battery takes between 90 and 120 minutes to charge, and can keep the drone in the air for 7 to 9 minutes, depending on the flight regime. Operating the drone is definitely something anyone can do. The 2.4G transmitter with LCD display features controls for flying up/down, left/right, and forward/backward, not to mention that the drone can also do 360-degree flips at the flick of a button. The LED lights of the drone definitely turn flying it at night into a fantastic show. Imagine what it looks like to fly it on a winter night, when everything around you is white, and only light comes from the quadcopter. Even though the quadcopter’s blades are protected so that the drone doesn’t get damaged when accidentally bumping into things, the manufacturer considered it’s common sense to include 4 extra blades. The X5C RC quadcopter drone is available exclusively on Amazon for $119.99, meaning that it’s sold out even on the manufacturer’s website. It benefits of free shipping, and can only be shipped within the 50 states. Buyers can also get an additional 2- or 3-year drops & spills protection for a premium, but that’s definitely worth it, given the peace of mind it can provide. Are you after a Christmas gift for your husband or teenager boy? Then look no further than this drone with powerful motors and HD-filming capabilities! Be social!
