Filed under: Cellphones, PeripheralsThis is it, soldiers. The day you've been anticipating has finally arrived. Okay, so maybe that's a build up not deserved by the lowly retail version of the Metal Gear Solid 4 Bluetooth headset, but seriously, we've been waiting ages for this thing to ship. Like, so long that the whole MGS4 aura has already come and gone. Those still firmly planted in Snake's posse can choose to prove their fanhood by ...

Remember Andreas posted a few weeks ago on the $105 Sony cable? Since the cable was being sold in Norway, some people said, “it’s just because of the exchange rate” or “it’s because things are more expensive there”. Well here is more proof from the US that Sony has little regard for fair pricing and your hard earned dollar. Today at Circuit City I saw this same cable on sale for $69.99 right next to ...

Filed under: Gaming, Peripherals Even with today's wireless video game controllers, you can't stay untethered forever. After a few hours of gaming on the PlayStation 3, you'll have to plug in that SIXAXIS or DualShock 3 USB cable to charge. Starting December 18th, Sony Japan will offer an AC adapter intended for PS3 controllers at a price of ¥2,800 (just under $30). Like third party solutions we've seen, it has two USB ports so you'll ...

As the LittleBigPlanet beta heads toward the planned October 12 shutdown, people are panicking over whether or not their beta creations will survive. The official LBP site states that they are considering retaining the uploaded levels (in fact, there’s a user poll to that effect) but “any save game data, offline creations or progress cannot be transferred into the full game.” So I have formally suspended work on my epic Wild West level. I suppose ...

They never thought it could happen to them. The one, a widow, still haunted by the phantasmal caresses of his horrible murdered wife. The other, the vivacious child bride of her lover's widowmaker. In their secret bedroom fumblings, they would find the solace and bliss denied to each other: for one, power to go on; for the other, the fulfillment of that cruel, empty cavern in his chassis... a hole he never thought he could ...

Sony has teamed up with the Max-Planck Institute in Germany to create a flexible, translucent display that creates 3D multi-color images from laser beams. The all-organic screen uses a chemical reaction called photoexcitation to render images, where energy moves from the lasers to the screen and “turns on” the photons to emit light. According to tests, the screens have yet to deteriorate after 100 straight hours of use, making this technology a prime candidate for ...

Filed under: Desktops Sony's VAIO VGC-JS190J (you know, the little fellow of the bunch) managed to snag itself a pretty great review late last month, so it's no shock at all to see the bigger, sleeker and all-around better VGC-RT150Y land similar sentiments. The 25.5-inch unit was rolled out as part of a trio at CEDIA, and besides packing quite a bit of horsepower, this thing actually looks shockingly like a svelte LCD. Reviewers instantly ...

But apparently PSP homebrew developer Jochen Schleu did, and worked up a mod that lets you use your PSP as a 960x544 resolution passive display. The program works for both the slim and original versions if ...

Valve hates the PS3. Well, Gabe Newell hates the PS3, and since nobody else had ever said otherwise, we just figured it was company policy. Times, though, times change! Valve's Doug Lombardi has told CVG that, since the PS3 started shifting a few more units, they’ve stopped hating on it, and started to “take it seriously”. Funny how that happens. And it’s not just the PS3 they’re warming to. The Wii has, last time we ...

The prognosis for such a device is OK, but then again how could it not be? After all, this is the company that brought us ...
