The headset is also competitively priced, with PlayStation VR almost half the price compared to most of its competitors.

Gaga reemerges in her music alongside a new single ‘Perfect Illusion,’ with a slightly more a rock n’ roll image we haven’t seen much of since her ‘Born this Way,’ album. On September 9th, Lady Gaga released her much anticipated single, this dance rock track is the appetizer for her fifth album “Joanne,” that’s to be released October 21st,

Upon the release, the chorus made many believe this song was about her ex-fiancé Taylor Kinney.

No other new details was reported, although one might think the decision on both parties came after Suicide Squad legged its way to a surprising $700 million worldwide gross, a surprising performance after the critical drubbing the movie received.

Many fans believe that the popularity of the character was behind this boxoffice performance, and the studio seems to be taking notice.

Suicide Squad is currently in cinemas everywhere.
