There is the game you might have heard of by now, Grand Theft Auto V, well its soundtrack is now available on iTunes. There is three separate albums available, the first two are Volume 1: Original Music and Volume 2: The Score for $10 each along with Volume 3: The Soundtrack for $11. But your best bet is to just grab all three for $25. Volume 1 features the Wavves, Twin Shadow and Tyler, The Creator – along with The Chain Gang of 1974’s “Sleepwalking.” Volume 2 features tracks from the game’s dynamic score and Volume 3 features tracks from the in-game radio stations from artists like Bootsy Collins, Flying Lotus, Bob Seger, Jai Paul, Toro y Moi, Waylon Jennings. and more.

Roku has just announced a refreshed line up of devices, that includes updated models of its lower end streaming boxes. While the Roku 3 has been leading the way in the set-top box market place alongside the Apple TV, today the company announced the new Roku LT as well as the Roku 1 and Roku 2 which will replace the Roku HD and Roku 2 XD (via Wired).

The new models will come along with all the content the boxes normally come with, including access to over 1000 different content channels or apps from within the Roku Channel Store. With access to apps like Amazon Instant Video and Crackle, many feel this is where the platform carries an interesting advantage over Apple TV.

Another interesting addition to the system is the M-Go video service partnership the company has now announced. It appears as though Roku is stepping into the content space without having to implement its own content service. With M-Go, users can rent or purchase movies and TV Shows with the purchases connected to your existing Roku account.

Pre-orders are available now for the new Roku boxes on the official site and through Amazon, with units expected to hit store shelves in October. The 720p Roku LT starts at $50, the 1080p Roku 1 will be available for $60 and the $80 Roku 2 comes with 1080p, dual-band wireless options, and a slick little headphone jack in the remote. Even though the new models don’t come with the motion-control remote and the Ethernet port like the Roku 3 (which is currently $5 off on Amazon), the company has added composite input options to make up for it.

Groupon has the 21.5″ HP Elite L2201x 1080p LED backlit LCD monitor for $100 shipped. That is $120 off the regular listing, around $35 -$50 cheaper than Amazon and the current lowest price we can find. This monitor features a full 1920 x 1080 native resolution, 5000:1 contrast ratio and a slick design that puts the monitor flush with your work surface.

The HP Elite requires a DisplayPort source, you can grab yourself a 6 ft. bi-directional Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort cable for just $6.50 on Amazon right now. We also have a solid deal on a 24″ Viewsonic VX2450wm monitor for $130 + $5 shipping, which is around $50 off what Amazon is currently charging for this monitor.

Steam, arguably the best PC, Mac and Linux gaming delivery service available, is getting even better. Valve has announced the “Steam Family Sharing” feature, similar to the now ditched Xbox One function Microsoft initially announced, that will allow users to share their library of games with friends and family.

Once someone shares their Steam library with you, you’ll be able to play and download the titles as much as you want and even get access to your own cloud saves and achievements. The service is enabled by a simple authorization process.

There are a few small limitations here, a single Steam library can not be accessed at the same time by two users. The lender holds precedence and can access his or her games at anytime. If the lender decides to access their games while another authorized individual is using them, the other friend will get the boot with two choices to either just quit the game or purchase it themselves.

“Our customers have expressed a desire to share their digital games among friends and family members, just as current retail games, books, DVDs, and other physical media can be shared…Family Sharing was created in direct response to these user requests.”

Additionally, there will be a limit of 10 authorized users per library, again very similar to what Microsoft originally announced for the Xbox One. Another caveat is that not all the titles available on Steam will support Family Sharing, due to technical issues, games that require third party authorization keys, accounts or some kind of subscription will not be supported.

The new feature will be made available sometime next week, in limited beta. Head below for more info on the Family Sharing service and on how to get into the beta.

Sony has unveiled a new mini home console called the Playstation Vita TV this morning.  Although carrying the Vita name, this is not another mobile console, it’s a lightweight media hub that connects to your TV, allowing you to play games with a Dualshock 3 and enjoy other forms of media.

The device is about the same size as a Vita at 6.4cm x 10.5cm, which is the smallest Playstation home console the company has ever released. Vita TV will have over 1300 games available on launch, due to the fact that it will support all PSP and PSone titles that are already available through PSN.

Additionally, the device will only play certain Vita games, as it does not support those that make use of the handheld’s touch, motion sensors, and camera functionality. Last but not least, Sony said Vita TV will support the streaming of PS4 games and the wireless Dualshock 4 through a “future system software update.”

It is expected to release in Japan later this year on November 14. There is no word from Sony as to whether the box will make it across the pond or not. More details and images below the fold. This announcement comes on the heels of Sony’s official PS Vita price drop and the announcement of a new, thinner model, coming later this year.

Popular smartphone and tablet protective case maker LifeProof has just dropped a brand new nuud case for iPad mini. The case is now available for $120 with free shipping from LifeProof (which is about the street price for their bigger waterproof iPad cases).

Like its previous nuud cases, the iPad mini version will bring the company’s Screenless Technology that uses a compression lock system to keep your device protected from water, dust particles and shock damage, without the need of obtrusive screen covers etc. The case is built to survive a drop of up to 4 ft., exceeding military specifications for shock and vibration protection, according to LifeProof. As for water damage, your device can be submerged underwater at up to 6.6 ft. for one hour.

nüüd protects iPad mini from plunges and fumbles while keeping the screen open for direct touch. That’s right, you can touch the touchscreen — because touchscreen should be touched! And, the barely-there design is so slim and sleek, you won’t notice it’s there, until you’re glad it is

Even with all that protection all the buttons, ports and other functionality are completely accessible. The rear camera is protected with an anti-reflective optical glass lens to ensure protection and picture quality. Additionally, there is a shoulder strap included (seen below) and a portfolio cover is now available for it in black and gray at $40. Other accessories LifeProof will be launching soon include a floating LifeJacket for $60 and a mounting cradle for $50.

New LifeProof nuud case for iPad mini: $120
