The Predator 21 X costs even more in the Philippines

The biggest, baddest gaming laptop from Predator just got an official price tag in the Philippines.
The Predator 21 X will retail in the Philippines for a whopping PhP 549,999; that’s way more than the $9,000 international price tag. In case you forgot, the 21 X is the first gaming notebook to come with a 21-inch curved display.
Yes. Curved.
The pricing was announced during Predator’s media event announcing its sponsorship of the ONE: Kings of Destiny mixed martial arts (MMA) event that will happen at the Mall of Asia (MOA) arena. It was also announced that the winner of the ninth main fight card, which features a bout between the Philippines’ Kevin “The Silencer” Belingon and Finland’s Toni “The Dynamite” Tauru, will take home the beastly gaming machine.
The Predator 21 X was first announced at IFA 2016 in Berlin. Other than being absolutely massive, other key features are two GeForce GTX 1080 video cards for rendering Ultra-level graphics with NVIDIA’s G-Sync technology to avoid unwanted screen tearing while playing games. It also has eye-tracking technology that should let gamers aim at enemies just by looking at them.
Something this massive requires a lot of cooling, so it’s equipped with nine heat pipes making sure the explosions only happen in-game. Tipping the scales at 8.8 kilograms, it’s not exactly easy to carry around. Thankfully, every Predator 21 X will come with a Pelican travel case.
Only a single unit will be sold in the Philippines.

Netflix’s Blood of Zeus now in the game Immortal Fenyx Rising
In a themed quest called “A tribute to family”

This crossover just makes so much sense. Netflix’s animated series Blood of Zeus is in Ubisoft’s Immortal Fenyx Rising. Players will be able to dive into a Blood of Zeus–themed quest and purchase an all-new character pack and weapon pack.
From January 21 to January 28, in a Blood of Zeus–themed quest called “A tribute to family”, players will take on two evil creatures of another world: Chimera and Cerberus. Upon completion of the quest, players will earn the Eagle pendant and all-new character customization options tied to “Blood of Zeus.”
The weapon pack contains Blood of Zeus–themed skins for your Sword, Axe and Bow. Meanwhile, the Blood of Zeus character pack lets you walk in the footsteps of the Amazonian warrior Alexia.
Immortals Fenyx Rising is a fresh game with an action and puzzle filled open world that has humor and Greek mythology enclosed into it. You might say it can be a mix of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and Zelda: Breath of wild.

You’ve been waiting for this, haven’t you? The second batch of pre-orders for the PlayStation 5 in the Philippines is officially happening on January 22, 2021.
Just like the first batch, the pre-order period will happen for only five minutes from 2PM to 2:05PM. Participating retailers should still be the same. They are as follows:
- iTech
- Gameline
- Metro Plaza
- Abenson
- Game One
- GameXtreme
There were some pre-order blunders the first go round but here’s to hoping there won’t be a repeat of that.
