We have had a week to play with a Nexus 7, well four actually, and WOW. Google and Asus have worked miracles with this thing. It's not 100% perfect, but it is one of the best Android based tablets out! Read our impressions after the jump!

Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy comes to a close in The Dark Knight Rises. Christopher Nolan continues to do what he does best in the third and final installment of this trilogy...so why does it feel so...meh? I can’t talk about why I didn’t LOVE it without getting into spoiler territory so be forewarned. Here there be SPOILERS! Read my thoughts on this epic film after the jump.

Sentai Filmworks just sent out some good news for dub fans, but bad news for sub fans! Persona 4 The Animation Collection 1 on Blu-Ray will retail for $10 less at $59.98, but at the same time will no longer carry the Japanese audio tracks! My opinion, which was later confirmed, is that due to the US and Japan sharing the same Blu-Ray region code (region A) that this is an effort by the studio to prevent reverse importation. Reverse importation, in this situation for those that do not know, is when people in Japan order the US version of the anime to save a TON on the cost. So, for example, Disc 1 in Japan has 1 episode and a bonus CD retails for about $50 US dollars. Disc 2 with 3 episodes retails for close to $100! So I do understand the reasoning, but I prefer Subtitles vs dubs. The DVD's will not be affected due to the fact that the US and Japan are in different DVD regions, even though DVD region protection is easy to break. Read the full PR after the jump!

Greetings Geeks, Google Wallet users can rejoice a little today.
