Microsoft's J Allard (Xbox 360 and Zune) Gets a Promotion

J Allard, who most recently helped give the Xbox and the Zune a really, really good user experience has gotten a promotion to "Chief Experience Officer" of the Entertainment and Devices devision. The E&D devision, for those of you who don't know, encompasses Xbox, Games for Windows, Mobile Communications (including Windows Mobile), Zune, Connected TV, Microsoft Surface, Mac Office, Microsoft Auto and Windows Embedded. Now that Allard is essentially going to have his fingers in all these pies, you can expect a Zune/Xbox 360-level of UI polish that projects like Windows Mobile haven't seen before. You can't see it, but we're doing a fist pump now. [ZDNet]

Sony Offers Free PS3 With Purchase of an HDTV in the US

Just a few days ago we learned that Sony Australia would dish out a free Playstation 3 with the purchase of any Bravia 1080p LCD TV. It appears that Sony has now expanded the program to include the U.S.—albeit with a few "minor" changes. Unfortunately if you want to score this deal in the States you have to apply for a Sony Card in addition to purchasing a select Sony HDTV. So, if you were in the market for a SonyCard, a Sony HDTV and a PS3 you are golden. Better hurry though, the promotion ends on Dec. 31st. [Sony Thanks Stephen!]

Seeing Red? Here's Why

We've sold out. We'll be covered in Slingbox Red for the next few days, and you know what? We kind of like it. We're thinking this red tide may have something to do with those three Slingbox versions that were officially announced yesterday. More »
