All Weapons, Gadgets Unlocked for Battlefield Hardline Beta

You can now try every gun and gadget that the PS4 and PC beta for Visceral's shooter has to offer.

Every weapon and gadget in the Battlefield Hardline beta is now unlocked, publisher Electronic Arts announced today on the Battlefield blog. The Battlefield Hardline beta is currently available on PlayStation 4 and PC, but EA will hold an open beta on all platforms later this year.

EA says being able to try out all of Battlefield Hardline's guns and gadgets--like the Ballistic Shield, Breaching Charge, or Decoy--will let you 'fully appreciate the diversity' of the game. Notably, the selection of weapons and gadgets available now in the Battlefield Hardline beta represents just a slice of what the full game will offer when it's released this fall on October 21.

Unlocking all guns and gadgets for players also means EA will get a better understanding of game balance, and can make further changes as a result, the company said. If you have feedback, you're encouraged to leave your comments in the Battlefield Hardline forums.

To use the new weapons and gadgets in the Battlefield Hardline beta, all you need to do is head to the loadout menu and equip the gear you want to try.

On PC, EA has updated Battlefield Hardline's beta to include audio fixes and various netcode improvements. You can see the full list of patch notes at the game's website.

The Battlefield Hardline beta was recently extended by one week, and now comes to a close on Thursday, June 26. You can sign up for a slot in the beta by heading to battlefield.com/beta.

Microsoft Clearing Out Refurbished Surface RT 32GB at $170 (Updated)

Remember when Microsoft wrote-down a giant $900 million charge due to Surface RT inventory adjustment? (Translation: Microsoft had too much inventory of unsold Surface RT left that will be forced to be sold at lower price point). Apparently the same applies for MSFT's supplies of refurbished Surface RT models because Microsoft's Outlet store on eBay is selling them at a massive 43% off discount: refurbished 32GB Microsoft Surface Tablet is now only $169 with free shipping.

Here's whats available from their outlet store:

Update 6/20/14: So after hundreds of thousands of units being sold at the $169 price point, Microsoft finally ran out - but wait, there's more. The deal is back this week. Looks like Microsoft just can't get rid of these inventory fast enough. When the deal is expired, the 32GB Surface RT is priced around $200. Beyond the 32GB and 64GB model, for only $30 more you can get the 64GB model WITH a keyboard cover. Not too shabby.

Early spring cleaning? Why not, even if we're still in the Winter months. Microsoft had attempted to unload these during 2013′s Black Friday weekend at the $199 price point to minimal success (number of units sold didn't break the 10,000 mark on the eBay store count). Another 25% off for a flagship device from just about a year ago? We're not sure if that's a good thing for Microsoft, but you can now experience Windows 8 RT on the cheap.

The Windows 8 RT Surface originally debuted on October 26th 2012 for $499. Sales fell stunningly short as mentioned. Now with the successor Surface 2 and Surface Pro 2 in place since Ocotober 2013 (and currently at harder-to-find stock level), it's probably time to clean house on the original under-performing unit.

At $169 it's a good price to bite at. Not only is it the lowest ever by $30, but it's significantly cheaper than buying for $279.99 at Best Buy in brand new condition (Microsoft's regular store sells a new 32GB model at $349, refurbish unit MSRP is at $299). The units they're selling today on eBay have been restored into fully working condition from the manufacturer and one of the rare part is that it includes a 1 year warranty from Microsoft (most refurbished goods will have a 90 day warranty only).

Is $170 the price point to move the Surface RT off the shelves? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

Week 24 in review: Galaxy S5 LTE

The Week In Review is our series meant to recap all the major announcements of the week, which you might have missed. Week 23 was rather busy with new products so you are in for a long read. Enjoy!

This week was marked by the announcement of the first ever Amazon smartphone - the Fire Phone. It is an innovative gadget, more than the 4.7' 720p IPS display, Snapdragon 800 chipset and 13 MP camera would suggest. What's interesting about it is the phone's Dynamic Perspective 3D UI which follows your eyes and the Firefly feature, which would recognize pretty much any object you snap with the camera.

This week also saw the debut of the long-rumored Samsung Galaxy S5 LTE-A with a 5.1' QHD display and Snapdragon 805 chipset. Samsung later confirmed this version of the Galaxy S5 is intended only for South Korea and won't be released anywhere else in the world.

Samsung Galaxy S5 LTE-A

We learned that two new affordable Galaxies are coming later this year - the Galaxy Pocket 2 and Galaxy Core 2 Duos. Both phones leaked with specs, pictures and prices, so we guess they should be going official any moment now.

And while we are still talking about Samsung, the Black Edition of the Galaxy S4 mini is now being updated to the Android 4.4.2 KitKat firmware worldwide.

Google managed to surprise us with another update bringing the standard-issue Android KitKat up to v. 4.4.4. It contains just a security patch for an OpenSSL bug, which would have allowed a man-in-the-middle attack. There are no new features. The update is now rolling on the compatible Nexus devices and should expand to the latest Moto gadgets soon.

Apple has also rolled out the iOS 8 beta 2 update. It brings lots of critical bug fixes, new settings and the QuickType keyboard on the iPads. It also improves the Handoff feature working between iOS 8 and Mac OS X Yosemite.

The 4.7' and the 5.5' iPhone 6 models leaked yet again. TechSmartt did an extensive hands-on video of the dummies on YouTube. The 4.7' iPhone 6 was even sized up next to an HTC One (M8).

Finally, this week we saw three new BlackBerry smartphones show their faces - BlackBerry codenamed Kopi and the officially presented BlackBerry Passport and BlackBerry Classic with hardware QWERTY keyboards. Passport and Classic are coming this fall.
