New 250GB and 500GB PS3 Consoles Planned For This Year?

Add up last week’s FCC outing of the two new PS3 models with today’s “industry source” who confirmed to CVG the existence of 250GB and 500GB consoles this year, and what do we have? Potential for something biiiiiig. Why would you need 500GB of storage? Are they expecting people to suddenly start downloading media from…

New PS3 Model Numbers Spotted On FCC

With E3 just ’round the corner, it’s no surprise that the FCC has outed a couple of new PS3 models. Hang on…new PS3 models? Sadly it’s probably not another redesign, instead looking just like new chipsets. The PS3 models have the serial numbers of CECH-2501A and CECH-2501B, with both including 802.11b/g Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2.0+EDR.…

The Battle for Your Bedside Table

You know, the clock radio was a pretty revolutionary device. And it didn’t get much in the way of updates after its conception in 1968 until manufacturers started adding in iPod docks. The next big thing? Touchscreens. Personally, I like to have a good few minutes when I’m waking up without emails, tweets or headlines…

Sony Dong Is a Man, Not Sony’s Answer to the Nintendo Wii

Giz Explains: Watching the World Cup in 3D

The problem with 3DTV, as we’ve said, is that there normally isn’t a damn thing to watch. But the World Cup in 3D, that’s something to watch. The World Cup is the perfect spectacle for this kind of mass cultural tech demo: It’s global, buzzy, and sports are among the most potent demonstrations of how…

Sony Outs Seven LED 3DTVs At Once

The promise of Sony’s entry into the 3DTV market has been swirling since last September. Today they’re not just dipping their toes in the 3D waters; they’re delivering a full-on cannonball, with the launch of seven 3D and “3D-ready” TVs. Only two of the models—the 52-inch and 60-inch Bravia XBR-HX909 series—feature integrated 3D right out…

Sony Vaio J All-In-One PC Gets a Touchscreen and a Touch Cheaper

Sony’s joined the all-in-one touchscreen party, with a shiny Vaio J entrant that you can trick out pretty impressively: 21.5-inch 1920×1080 display, up to a Core i7 CPU and 8GB of RAM. But is it as affordable as they say? Well, compared to the $1,300 L Series AIO, sure! But the Vaio J’s starting price…

PS3 Twistdock Manages Uncommon Tastefulness

When I hear “console docking station,” I picture some Walmart bargain bin monstrosity, the result of an unprotected courtship between a plastic paper tray and one of those sports-themed remote caddies.

Sony Wants Your Cat To Use Twitter, Too

When we said we thought Sony has lost its way, we didn’t mean for them to go and invent a tweeting-cat-device. However, their science laboratories research arm has shown off just that. Sigh. While lifecasting devices already exist for cats and dogs, this “lifelogging” device contains an accelerometer, GPS and camera—a bit like Microsoft’s SenseCam,…

Sony’s Flexible OLED is Thinner Than a Strand of Hair
