The device will be a limited-edition launch, and will likely be available only in select markets if OnePlus’ track record is anything to go by.<br /><br />According to the popular OnePlus updater app <a href="https://oxygenupdater.com/api/v2.6/news-content/284/EN/%5d">Oxygen Updater</a> and <a href="https://www.xda-developers.com/oneplus-might-launch-pac-man-themed-device-soon/">XDA Developers</a>, OnePlus is gearing up to bring several Pac-Man themed elements in its operating system, including the lock screen and the fingerprint sensor animation.<br /><br />The lock screen has a yellow-text clock, themed based on Pac-Man, in addition to the eyes of the ghost from the game. <br /><br />The fingerprint sensor animation is trippy, with the ghosts chasing Pac-Man. If that’s not interesting enough, OnePlus has also reportedly hidden a sticker in its Gallery app.<br /><br /><cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Not the first limited-edition OnePlus smartphone" comment="subhead" text="Not the first limited-edition OnePlus smartphone"><span data-til="noop">Not the first limited-edition OnePlus smartphone</span></cmsannotation><br /><br />OnePlus is no stranger to limited-edition devices launched in partnership with some of the world’s most renowned brands. In the past, it has launched the OnePlus 5T Star Wars Edition, OnePlus 6 Avengers Edition, the OnePlus 6T and 7T Pro McLaren Edition and most recently, the OnePlus 8T Cyberpunk 2077 Edition.<br /><br />However, with the OnePlus Nord 2 Pac-Man edition, the smartphone maker is not only dialling back the years, but it also signals a subtle shift in its strategy – all the previous limited-edition devices were variants of the flagships of the time. In this case, however, the Nord 2 is OnePlus’ latest mid-range offering.<br /><br />We should know more details about the OnePlus Nord 2 Pac-Man edition in the coming days.<br /><br /><strong>SEE ALSO:<br /><br /><a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/india/news/the-depth-of-indias-power-crisis-22-power-plants-shut-govt-says-coal-crisis-overblown/articleshow/86969860.cms">The depth of India's power crisis</a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/news/twitter-starts-testing-downvoting-on-replies/articleshow/86983594.cms">Twitter starts testing downvoting on replies but it’s not that exciting</a><br /><br /></strong><a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/mobile/news/samsung-plans-to-launch-2nm-chipsets-by-2025-could-power-its-2026-flagships/articleshow/86959127.cms"><strong>Samsung plans to launch 2nm chipsets by 2025, could power its 2026 flagships</strong></a><br />

As part of its bid to further boost sales and grab a bigger slice of the pie, Pizza Hut has turned to a reliable old friend: Pac-Man. </p><p>The use of the <keyword id="6357332" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="Gaming">gaming</keyword> icon to draw in customers forms part of the company's "Newstalgia" campaign. Retro-driven ads will soon bring back popular dine-in favorites, including Book It! pins, red cups, and stained-glass lamps - but with a modern twist. </p><p>As for Pac-Man, limited-edition pizza boxes will feature QR codes which, when scanned on a smartphone will allow customers to play an augmented reality version of the game. The chain will also give players the opportunity to win an Arcade1Up Pac-Man machine cabinet. </p><p>In an interview with Insider, Pizza Hut's chief marketing officer, George Felix, explained the thinking behind the strategy.</p><p>"The idea behind Newstalgia was born out of listening to our customers and celebrating all the things they associate with and love most about the brand," he said. "Whether it's the Tiffany lamps, arcade games, the red cups, the red-and-white checkered tablecloth or, of course, our iconic pizzas - and fusing those timeless equities with modern innovations, as seen with the partnership with Pac-Man and limited-edition AR box."</p><p>To help amplify the campaign, Pizza Hut partnered with actor, comedian, and new spokesperson, Craig Robinson, for a TV commercial. In the spot, he is shown playing a Pac-Man while chowing down on a $10 Tastemaker pizza. </p><p>Bandai Namco Entertainment Inc owns the licence to Pac-Man, and Yutaka Fuse, the company's head of licensing and branding, recently discussed the Pizza Hut collaboration.<a href="https://www.foodandwine.com/news/pizza-hut-pac-man-collaboration"> He told Food and Wine: </a>"Pac-Man's design and creation was inspired by the shape of a pizza with a slice taken out of it, making this partnership so appropriate for the Pac-Man brand."</p><p><a href="https://www.restaurantdive.com/news/pizza-huts-momentum-continues-in-q4-with-8-same-store-sales-growth/594587/">Yum!, the corporation that owns Pizza Hut, recently reported the chain's q4 earnings, which showed same-store sales rose 8% in the quarter.</a> This marked the best quarterly performance for Pizza Hut in 10 years, Felix said. In fact, the pandemic has accelerated the franchise's turnaround in the US, helping the brand cement its reputation for delivery and takeout, according to Felix. </p><p style="font-weight: 400;">From a marketing standpoint, one of the brand's biggest challenges in recent years has been a lack of consistency, Felix told Insider, "but with this new campaign and creative positioning, we are aiming to re-establish a strong brand identity rooted in decades of bold innovations, industry firsts, and nostalgic emotional connections."</p><p style="font-weight: 400;">In the future, pizza lovers will continue to see timeless Pizza Hut elements weaved into product launches and brand creative throughout the year, Felix said.</p><p style="font-weight: 400;">He added: "We're always looking for opportunities from a marketing standpoint to see where new technologies or emerging technologies can help us tell the stories that we want to tell and think that this campaign can be disruptive in the context of our category."</p>

Pizza Hut is launching augmented reality pizza boxes that you can play Pac-Man on. The company's CMO tells Insider why it's using the gaming icon in its 'Newstalgia' campaign.

It seems like there’s a pattern now as another user has reported of a OnePlus Nord 2 explosion, and this time it gravely injured the person too. <br /><br />This incident was shared on Twitter by Suhit Sharma from Dhule in Maharashtra. According to Sharma’s tweet and images shared, the OnePlus Nord 2 suffered a serious blast while inside the pocket of “a boy”. The phone looks completely damaged and burnt on the right side. The images also indicate that the phone was kept inside the pocket of the user’s jeans which also suffered some damages. We can also see one image of the user whose thigh is burnt due to the blast.

Only these games aren't brand new - they're some of your favorite Xbox 360 games, now playable on the Xbox One!</p><p>This <a href="http://www.techinsider.io/microsoft-xbox-one-backwards-compatibility-video-2015-11">Xbox One backwards compatibility program</a> starts on November 12 with the launch of the "New Xbox One Experience" - a major update to the console's dashboard, powered by Windows 10.</p><p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><p class="source"><span>Microsoft</span></p></div><p></p></div></div></p><p>If you don't know what we mean by "backwards compatibility," we're talking about "the ability to play a select number of Xbox 360 games on your Xbox One."</p><p>You don't have to buy 'em again - just stick your old disc into your Xbox One and you'll be prompted for a download. After snagging the digital version, your old Xbox 360 game will run on your new Xbox One. Pretty sweet, and it's the kind of thing that differentiates the Xbox One from the PlayStation 4 (which can't play <em>any</em> PlayStation 3 games).</p><p>There's some great stuff on there: "Assassin's Creed 2," "Mass Effect," "Mirror's Edge," and (the best "Pac-Man" game ever made) "Pac-Man Championshp Edition DX+."</p><p>Unfortunately, the list of what's compatible doesn't include some games folks have been asking for, like Rockstar Games' "Red Dead Redemption," and even Microsoft-published "Halo Reach" (which is even pictured in Microsoft's own marketing, as seen above). The top four games, as voted by the community, aren't supported:</p><p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><p class="source"><span><a href="https://xbox.uservoice.com/forums/298503-backwards-compatibility">Microsoft</a></span></p></div><p></p></div></div></p><p>Thankfully, Microsoft says it will "work with game publishers to continue to release new titles regularly." We're guessing this will be on a monthly basis.</p><p>Here's the full list in question of what's available starting on November 12, when the new Xbox One dashboard goes live:</p><ul><li><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">A Kingdom for Keflings</span></li><li><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">A World of Keflings</span></li><li><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Alien Hominid HD</span></li><li><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Assassin's Creed II</span></li><li><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Asteroids &amp;

These are the 100+ Xbox 360 games you can soon play on Xbox One

<p>Remember the 1980s? Everyone had big hair and cassette players and a bunch of stuff I can't properly reference because I wasn't born yet. Anyway, that was when video games were <em>video games</em>, man. You blew on your "Castlevania" cartridge, plopped it into your Nintendo and that was your weekend!</p><p>Thanks to Nintendo, you can now relive the part of your life when you didn't have a job or children or social obligations with the Nintendo Entertainment System: NES Classic Edition. </p><p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><p class="source"><span>Nintendo</span></p><p class="caption">Look at it! It's so tiny!</p></div><p></p></div></div></p><p>This miniature version of the original Nintendo Entertainment System (or NES) comes packed with 30 mostly-beloved games from that console's lifespan, and will retail for $59.99 starting this holiday season. It comes with an HDMI cable so it will work with modern televisions, and one controller that's an exact replica of the rectangular one you remember. Additional controllers are $9.99 each.</p><p>Here are the games that come with the NES Classic Edition:</p><ul><li><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">"Balloon Fight"</span></li><li><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">"Bubble Bobble"</span></li><li><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">"Castlevania"</span></li><li><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">"Castlevania II: Simon's Quest"</span></li><li><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">"Donkey Kong"</span></li><li><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">"Donkey Kong Jr."</span></li><li><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">"Double Dragon II: The Revenge"</span></li><li><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">"Dr. Mario"</span></li><li><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">"Excitebike"</span></li><li><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">"Final Fantasy"</span></li><li><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">"Galaga"</span></li><li><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">"Ghosts 'n Goblins"</span></li><li><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">"Gradius"</span></li><li><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">"Ice Climber"</span></li><li><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">"Kid Icarus"</span></li><li><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">"Kirby's Adventure"</span></li><li><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">"Mario Bros."</span></li><li><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">"Mega Man 2"</span></li><li><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">"Metroid"</span></li><li><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">"Ninja Gaiden"</span></li><li><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">"Pac-Man"</span></li><li><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">"Punch-Out!!

Having the first two "Castlevania" games without the excellent third one is strange, as is including "Super C" without its predecessor, "Contra."</span></p><p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Still, for the price of a modern console game, you get a tiny box that looks like the original NES, an official revision of the controller and a handful of the greatest video games ever made. Not bad at all!</span></p><p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;"><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><p class="source"><span>Nintendo</span></p><p class="caption">Shout out to the font work on this packaging.</p></div><p></p></div></div></span></p><p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">There are a couple of other miscellaneous tidbits to know: </span></p><ul><li><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">The controller that comes with the NES Classic Edition can be plugged into a Wii Remote and used to play downloaded NES games on a Wii or Wii U. </span></li><li><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">The Classic Controller and Classic Controller Pro add-ons for the Wii can also be used to play games on the NES Classic Edition. </span></li><li><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">You can also suspend a game and come back later if you're having trouble, meaning there's no need to fumble with passwords anymore!</span></li></ul><p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">There's no telling yet whether or not Nintendo will support additional games beyond the 30 that are included with it in any way, so don't expect some kind of online storefront to buy NES games to come with this machine. Even so, for the price and the nostalgic appeal alone, this is a pretty sweet deal for anyone who fondly remembers gaming in the Reagan years.</span></p>    <div class="margin-top">        <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/most-powerful-onshore-wind-turbine-2016-7">This is the most powerful wind turbine in the world</a></h3>        <div>            <div>        <div class="ooyala-video-player" data-video-autoplay="false" data-video-id="dmeGM1MzE6iW5P120XG5MxBjOiyB9kLE" data-player-variable="ooyalapopvideo" id="ooyalaplayer_popvideo" style="width:1280px;height:720px"></div>        </div>        </div>            </div>

Nintendo just introduced a mini $60 version of its first major game console, NES

<p>It's been a long time coming, but virtual reality is finally moving out of the realm of early adopters and developers and into the real world.</p><p>As of Tuesday, anyone can now pre-order Samsung's Gear VR consumer edition, which is the virtual reality headset Samsung designed in collaboration with virtual reality pioneer Oculus. You can pre-order the device over at <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B016OFYGXQ">Amazon</a>, <a href="http://www.bestbuy.com/site/samsung-gear-vr-for-select-samsung-cell-phones-black-white/4637800.p?id=1219786370026&amp;skuId=4637800">Best Buy</a>, or <a href="http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/wearable-tech/SM-R322NZWAXAR">Samsung</a>, and it'll ship out starting November 20th.</p><p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><p class="source"><span>Samsung</span></p></div><p></p></div></div></p><p>Even better? Samsung's Gear VR only costs $99, though you'll need to own one of Samsung's flagship phones in order to power the headset. While upcoming VR headsets from Oculus, Valve, and Sony will require a standalone computer or game console to generate the virtual environment, Samsung's Gear VR lets you slot a smartphone into the front of the headset instead. If you have a Samsung Galaxy S6, S6 Edge, S6+, or Galaxy Note 5 you'll be all set.</p><p>Compared to the earlier, developer-focused versions called the Gear VR Innovator Edition, the consumer-focused Gear VR is largely the same. It's now 19% lighter, features an improved touchpad that makes finding the headset's controls much easier while you're immersed in VR, and Samsung says the ergonomics are better too, so it'll be more comfortable.</p><p>Of course, the biggest question is what you'll actually be able to do with the thing, and thankfully Samsung and Oculus have a decent collection of games, experiences, and videos that are already available.</p><p>There's games like "Land's End," created by the same app studio behind the wildly popular "Monument Valley" game, and "Herobound," which "Zelda" fans will enjoy for the similar hack-and-slash gameplay.</p><p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><p class="source"><span><a href="https://www.oculus.com/en-us/blog/samsung-gear-vr-now-available-for-pre-orders-at-99/">Samsung</a></span></p></div><p></p></div></div></p><p>You can also step into a virtual movie theater and play trailers or your own movie collection thanks to the Oculus Video app, and you can also watch Netflix in VR if you have an account or free trial.</p><p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><p class="source"><span><a href="https://www.oculus.com/en-us/blog/samsung-gear-vr-now-available-for-pre-orders-at-99/">Samsung</a></span></p></div><p></p></div></div></p><p>For a dose of nostalgia, you can check out Oculus Arcade, which puts you in front of a virtual arcade that has over 20 old-school games like <span>Pac-Man, Gauntlet, and Sonic the Hedgehog.</span></p><p><span><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><p class="source"><span><a href="https://www.oculus.com/en-us/blog/samsung-gear-vr-now-available-for-pre-orders-at-99/">Samsung</a></span></p></div><p></p></div></div></span></p><p>Most of the VR experiences are designed to be controlled via the headset's touch controls and your own head movements as the Gear VR doesn't include a controller out of the box. But for more complex games like "Herobound," you can easily use a third-party Bluetooth controller as well.</p><p> </p>    <div class="margin-top">        <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/engineering-behind-void-first-vr-park-2015-11"> A nuclear engineer is solving virtual reality's biggest problem</a></h3>        <div>            <div>        <div class="ooyala-video-player" data-video-autoplay="false" data-video-id="l4cXQweDr-vj2WOz8XvIk7VMvS5Xcnqm" data-player-variable="ooyalapopvideo" id="ooyalaplayer_popvideo" style="width:1280px;height:720px"></div>        </div>        </div>            </div>
