VR & AR
The wired glasses use Sony Micro-OLED at 1200p and 120 Hz with a 95-degree field of view, tethered to a puck for processing. The 12GB + 256GB model is $1,279 ($1,099 launch price through December), and orders open today with shipping by mid-November.
Gaming
Acer's first US gaming handheld goes on sale exclusively at Best Buy on November 1 for $1,299.99. It packs an Intel Arc G3 Extreme chip, 24GB of RAM, 512GB of storage, an 8-inch 120Hz touchscreen and an 80Wh battery, and runs Windows 11.
Gaming
The PlayStation 2 Duo uses a flexible OLED salvaged from a Royole FlexPai phone, a miniaturized PS2 motherboard and custom controller hardware. The enclosure is one you can 3D print yourself, though The Verge says it is still far from pocketable.
VR & AR
The compact Spatial Reality Display shows 3D avatars and characters without a headset or glasses, connecting to a smartphone or PC over one USB-C cable. Sony says it will be on show at Sony Store Ginza and Nagoya, with a developer SDK to follow.
Drones
The $799 Follow Me Bundle swaps the goggles for a wrist Watch Remote with a 1.72-inch touchscreen plus a Ring Remote, cutting the price from $1,599. The 8K 360 drone weighs 351 g with prop guards, so US pilots need to register it with the FAA.
Gaming
Transparent PS5 controllers cost $85 and matching console covers $75. Preorders open November 10 directly from PlayStation, with shipments in February.
Its chip is designed to run cores up to PS1 and N64, with 4K HDMI out via a separate dock. It has four face buttons for SNES compatibility, and details are still scarce.
More than 200 licensed Bandai Namco and Capcom games, SmartGlow lit controls and HDMI out. Preorders are $199.99, with a holiday launch at GameStop and EB Games Canada.
