Project Natal Is Gonna Be Priced Like a Console

How much is Project Natal going to cost? Microsoft’s still working it out, but Robbie Bach says at the very green roundtable I’m sitting at that it’ll follow a price curve “like anything else,” meaning, in English, it’ll start at a more expensive point and get cheaper as it goes on. In other words, Microsoft’s…

iLickit App Summed Up In Three Words: Lick, iPhone and Grandma

In the history of bad ideas, the iLickit iPhone app is right up there with prohibition and the movie Batman and Robin. That’s right, the people behind iLickit want you to lick up Grandma’s cooking via your iPhone. Seriously, they want you to physically lick your iPhone. Not my idea of fun but, ready or…

The Same Game Costs More on PSP Mini Than on the iPhone… Why?

Wow, as if we needed more incentive to not invest in the PSPgo, a new trend has arisen during the first day of Mini availability.

Optical Gaming Implants Turn Babies Into Killers

I love fake ads from the future: like the satirical spots from Robocop and Total Recall, or the Veridian Dynamics openers in Better Off Ted. These ads for “Eyefinity” gaming implants aren’t as clever, but they’re still a fun watch: DirectX 67? Tongue-finity? My favorite quote: “Pulling a trigger is just as easy as pushing…

No, what you see is not the PSPGo’s upcoming Gran Turismo steering wheel adapter. It’s Sony’s solution for backward compatibility on all your old PSP peripherals.
