Kogan Launches 3D Range: Drives Down TV Prices Yet Again
The Kogan 3D LED series has everything you’ve come to know and love from Kogan’s award-winning LED TVs, including a built-in PVR to pause, rewind and record live TV, USB input for playing movies and photos, and a stylish chassis housing a crystal clear LED panel. Kogan 3D Series TVs convert 2D to 3D on the fly, play 3D video games through your Xbox 360 or Playstation 3, and play High Definition 3D content from any 3D enabled device. Most importantly, Kogan will never make customers pay for features they don’t want. The big name brands lump 3D into every TV in an effort to keep prices high. Kogan is driving down prices of LED TVs while offering more choice than ever before. Ruslan Kogan said the launch starts the 3D LED price wars and brings the option of 3D to the mainstream. “3D has been used by big name brands to continue to charge more than they should for the latest TVs. “We quickly realised that the actual technology in a 3D TV that enables this feature is relatively inexpensive, and we’re entirely transparent about the added costs. Essentially, it’s just an additional infared receiver that communicates with your 3D glasses to ensure they are in sync. “Other brands will lump 3D into all of their TVs, at Kogan we are giving the customer the option. They can pay $70-$120 (46” – 55”) over our everyday low prices, or have the same technology without 3D,” Kogan said. While Ruslan Kogan has previously voiced opinions about the limitations of 3D TV, more and more Kogan customers have started asking for the option through emails, Facebook posts, tweets, and blog posts. As a result of this, the company last month threw it out to the public, asking if they wanted Kogan to create a 3D TV. Ruslan Kogan continued: “While the amount of 3D content is still small, feedback from our customers through Facebook, Twitter and the Kogan blog showed that the public are split almost 50/50 on whether they want 3D TV in their home. Today’s launch is to ensure we are satisfying the needs and desires of all Kogan customers. “As our business grows, and the price of 3D technology comes down, we’re now approaching a position where we can create a TV with the 3D feature for a few dollars more than the cost of one of our existing LED TVs. “The team at Kogan are committed to providing exactly what our customers want. We realise 3D TV is not for everyone, but for those who do want it, we set out to create the best value 3D TV in the world,” Kogan said. The Kogan 3D Series is on sale today using Kogan’s patent pending LivePrice system. 3D Wi-Fi Blu-ray Player with BD Live – Full HD 1080P 46″ Full HD 3D LED* TV with PVR – 3D Series 55″ Full HD 3D LED* TV with PVR (Samsung Panel) – 3D Series 3D Rechargeable Shutter Glasses for your Kogan 3D TV Media Contact: Vuki – Click PR |

2K Games and Gearbox Software Announce That the Wait Is Over – Duke Nukem ForeverR Is Now Available!Sydney, Australia – June 10, 2011 – 2K Games and Gearbox Software are proud to announce the legendary Duke Nukem Forever® has arrived and is now available in Australia and New Zealand on the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and Windows PC. For over 15 years fans have waited in video game purgatory for the launch of the almost mythical Duke Nukem Forever and now June 10, 2011 will forever mark the day that the magnificent King triumphantly returned to kick alien ass and chew bubblegum. “June 10 will forever be celebrated as the day that the legendary Duke Nukem Forever went from video game folklore to Earth shattering reality,” said Christoph Hartmann, president of 2K. “For 15 years fans have waited in limbo just yearning to hear those two little lovely words strung together, Now Available. Today, the acronym ‘DNF’ changes its meaning to a ‘Day to Never Forget’. I am proud to announce that the wait is finally over and that Duke Nukem Forever is truly Now Available.” Over 15 years in the making, Duke Nukem Forever has become one of the most hotly discussed and eagerly awaited entertainment properties ever. For more than a decade, the game has gone from being highly-anticipated when it was announced in April of 1997, to mythological status when all signs of it would disappear for years on end, to finally earning its rightful place atop the video game throne with the June 10, 2011 launch. From the game’s inception, the legendary George Broussard and his team of immensely talented and passionate designers, artists and programmers at 3DRealms devoted themselves to bringing Duke Nukem Forever to market. When all appeared lost, a small team of dedicated developers, known as Triptych Studios, saved Duke Nukem Forever from what seemed like vaporware death and resurrected the king. Their heroic efforts alongside Gearbox Software, Piranha Games and many other contributors finalised George’s dream by bringing the full-fledged triple-A title to retail. Apologising to no one, Duke Nukem Forever is the high-octane video game equivalent of a Hollywood summer blockbuster. Starring the legendary lady killer and alien slayer, Duke Nukem Forever introduces gamers to a blastastic time filled with head-popping, bone-rattling action, brazenly crude humor, impossibly statuesque women dying for affection, and catchy one-liners that will have you laughing out loud. Duke Nukem Forever is rated MA15+ for by the Australian Classification Board and R18 by the New Zealand Office of Film and Literature Classification.

JAVIER BARDEM STARS IN BIUTIFUL – COMING soon TO DVD & BLU-RAY.Madman proudly presents the haunting, BIUTIFUL, available on DVD (RRP: $34.95) and Blu-Ray (RRP: $39.95) from 14 September 2011. Nominated for two Academy Awards® in 2011, BIUTIFUL is a powerful and emotional experience, driven by an incredible performance from Javier Bardem – previously awarded an Oscar® for NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN – which also earned him a ‘Best Actor’ award at Cannes in 2010. Pairing two masterful talents in Bardem and thrice Oscar®-nominated filmmaker Alejandro González Iñárritu (BABEL, 21 GRAMS, AMORES PERROS), BIUTIFUL is an unforgettable tale of a tragic hero, searching for love and redemption. Bardem is Uxbal, a terminally ill cancer-sufferer and man of contrasting and conflicting morals. He is a dedicated and loving father of two, though he also operates an underground merchandising racket fuelled by an illegal immigrant trade. Tormented by a strained relationship with his bi-polar wife, Uxbal’s spiritual sensitivity begins to gift him with a sombre connection to the afterlife and the ability to see the deceased. Sensing the danger of his own imminent death and haunted by disturbing premonitions, Uxbal is compelled to embark upon a final journey of redemption, before his time is up. BIUTIFUL’s limited Australian theatrical release by Madman generated a Box Office result close to $450,000. The film has enjoyed great reviews worldwide, and has also been nominated for many awards globally, including a ‘Best Foreign Film’ Oscar® and a BAFTA. BIUTIFUL is available on DVD & Blu-Ray from 14 September 2011.

HELEN MIRREN STARs IN BRIGHTON ROCK – COMING soon TO DVD and BLU-RAY.HELEN MIRREN STARs IN BRIGHTON ROCK – COMING soon TO DVD and BLU-RAY.

Taking place in Brighton, 1964 – whilst the turf war between the Mods and the Rockers was at its peak – rising star, Sam Reilly (CONTROL) stars as Pinkie Brown, an ambitious young gangster determined to enforce his claim on this sleepy English seaside town. When a rival ends up on the wrong end of Pinkie’s switchblade, an impressionable young waitress, Rose (BAFTA-nominee Andrea Riseborough) comes into possession of vital evidence that would see him sentenced to death. Initially, in an effort to keep Rose away from the authorities, Pinkie sets out to romance her. But when Rose’s employer, Ida – played by Academy-Award®-winning screen icon, Helen Mirren (THE QUEEN) – becomes aware of the relationship, she is suspicious of Pinkie’s intentions and begins a campaign to thwart his advances. Can Pinkie trust Rose not to give him up? Or more to the point, can Rose trust Pinkie not make her his next victim? Also starring John Hurt (THE ELEPHANT MAN) and Andy Sirkis (the LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy) in support roles, Rowan Joffe’s BRIGHTON ROCK is a star-studded and stylish re-positioning of Greene’s classic tale. Featuring sizzling performances and a grittily cool setting, BRIGHTON ROCK stakes its claim as a compelling entry into the stable of British noir.
