Great News for future PS4 owners! According to Jack Tretton, PS4 users can do whatever they want with their game disc. They can sell it, lend it to a friend or keep it forever. Unlike on XBOX One, PS4 will support used games; PS4 games don't need an online-connection to be played and it won't stop working even if you haven't registered it online within 24 hours.

The price of PS4 will be $399, €399 and £349

LeBron "King" James Chosen as NBA2K14's Cover Athlete

LeBron James will be on the cover of NBA 2K14 and believe it or not, it's only going to be his first time to appear for any basketball video game as a cover-athlete. 2K Sports made its official announcement during the game one of NBA Finals which was a great marketing strategy in my opinion because the championship series can be seen in 215 countries across different platforms such as televisions, PCs, tablets and smartphones. 

Once you pre-order the game, you will receive King James Bonus Pack. Included on the bonus pack are the following:

• Bonus Content For Path to Greatness
• LeBron James Unlocked in Blacktop
• LeBron James Signature Skill
• 10, 000 Virtual Currency

NBA 2K14 will hit stores in October 1, 2013 for XBOX 360 and PS3. Unfortunately, the game will not be available on WII U console as 2K Sports developers have their main focus on creating the game for XBOX ONE and PS4 users.

I've just wasted my time watching this live event; the console was nowhere in sight. This event felt like it was meant for developers more than the mainstream users.

Kobe Bryant Joins Twitter

While I was watching the Spurs-Lakers game earlier, I was surprised when one member of the commentary team said, Kobe Bryant has officially created his own Twitter account few days ago. I was shocked by this as basketball fans know that Kobe has always been private about his life. Maybe Mr. Bryant realized, as a well-known figure, he has an obligation to at least share some interesting moments in his life to the public particularly to his fans.

He had his first tweet last January 4:

The antisocial has become social #mambatweets
— Kobe Bryant (@kobebryant) January 4, 2013

He also shared some off the court images:

You can follow Kobe Bryant at his official twitter account. So far, LeBron James has the most followers in Twitter among NBA players with over 6 million.

Update: Marian Rivera - FHM Philippines' 150th Issue Cover Girl (With Photos)

Celebrate FHM Philippines' 150th issue with Marian Rivera as she made her way to become this month's (January 2013) cover girl for the very first time. Since 2008, Marian has been consistent on being at the top of FHM Philippines' 100 Sexiest Women in The World list but whenever the magazine would make an offer to her, she always turned them down probably because of her contract restrictions with GMA 7 or with the advertisers that chose her to endorse their products and of course, maybe she has to wait for her boyfriend's approval before saying "Yes!" to FHM. Marian had also showcased her gorgeous body for various magazines before, including:

Cosmopolitan

and

Rogue

Grab your own copy of FHM Philippines January 2013 issue at your favorite bookstores and magazine outlets for 150 Pesos.

UPDATE

Here are the photos of Marian Rivera from this month's issue of FHM Philippines:
