Samsung Galaxy mega set to arrive in the UK in July for £460!

   The Samsung Galaxy Mega was never going to be a phone which appealed to everyone. The 6.3" screened variant might be too big for a lot of people, the 720p resolution might not be enough for some people and then we didn't initially know the price of this thing.

   Today the guys over at Clove have posted up some information on their blog which reveals just how much this phone is going to cost and their post reads:

"With a 6.3” display the Galaxy Mega will not appeal to all but for those of you who are looking for something of this size, then we can confirm that we now have a price and an estimated arrival time.
Set to be available in both Black and White, the Mega will be priced at £383.33 excluding VAT or £459.99 including VAT.
First stock of the I9205 16GB model is expected in July, the exact date for which is still to be confirmed."

   That £460 will buy you a 1.7GHz dual-core processor, a 3,200mAh battery, 16GB of internal storage which is expandable with cards up to 64GB, 4G LTE and that 6.3" 720p TFT LCD display!

   Well there you have it guys, if you really want a giant phone then it might be better to consider the Asus FonePad which although is nowhere near as powerful in the processor stakes also has a huge screen as is less than half the price at £180!

Rockstar release the new ads for GTA V!

   There's already four in the Grand Theft Auto series and the guys from Rockstar are back with the fifth instalment which is again set bring horror and despair to the mind of parents with teenage children throughout the world!

   The ad, which is embedded below, shows off three of the main characters. You've got Michael, Franklin and Trevor, each of them with their own unique stories which you can hear about from the video below! If you pick up the game on September the 17th then you'll get to see how their stories intertwine through the game and obviously everything will fit together a lot better when things are up and running.

   All you really need to know for the moment is that Michael is 'having a mid-life crisis', but he's got a family and he wants to be a good father, he's not exactly your typical criminal. Franklin on the other hand wants to 'get out of the hood' and he really seems to dislike the situation he's found himself in and finally Trevor is a 'major drug dealer', 'hill-billy type' and all round nutter!

   Check out their videos and let us know who you're most looking forward to playing as in the comments below!
