If the thought of the new year fills you with hope and optimism then you may be from Nigeria, Vietnam or even Kosovo. So where does that leave North Americans?

January 6, 2011 No Comment
A pinch of gaming here at the annual Consumer Electronics Show? Yeah, we’ll take that. Nyko ‘s just revealed a wheelbarrow full of new goods to pore over at this year’s edition of the show, and we get the feeling that PlayStation Move owners will be particularly pleased with what’s on offer. For the PS3, the outfit has revealed that its Raven Standard and Raven Alternative controllers are shipping now for $34.99 apiece, as is the 2- / 4-port charging station. Moving onto newer goods, the Power Shot for Move is a newfangled rifle attachment (seen above) for Sony’s play on motion gaming, with an MSRP that’s not quite final and a projected release date of March 2011. Moreover, there’s a pistol-like Perfect Shot for Move (also shipping in March at a price that’s TBD), and if you’re looking for a similar charging solution for your Xbox 360, the Charge Base S will do just that for $24.99. Comically enough, this year marks the return of the infamous Intercooler, but hopefully the STS version won’t cause your Xbox 360 S to go up in smoke . For those who like to take chances, it’ll hit retail next month for $19.99. Closing things out is the Perfect Shot Pro for Wii, which is a revamped version of the original Perfect Shot that features vibration support; it’ll ship in April for right around $20. Head on past the break for the full release, or spend a few precious minutes digging into the eye candy below. Or both.

January 6, 2011 No Comment
Following Samsung’s press event yesterday, we caught up with SVP of the Consumer Business Division John Revie for a quick chat about its new 3D sets and specs. We found out the SSG-3700CR active frames, which do in fact fit comfortably over our glasses, will hit the market in spring for a cool $150, and perhaps unsurprisingly, the new flagship HDTV will be comparable in price to the ones it debuted last year. Wanna hear all about the qualitative perks of a decidedly bezel-deficient HD display? Our quick video interview’s after the break.

At CES, NEC’s showing off the hinged Android tablet it announced last month, pitching it as a great way for third parties to… well, do awesome stuff. They’re kind of leaving the doors wide open as to how (or to whom) it’ll be sold, suggesting it could make a great e-reader, a digital notebook for students, a scrapbook, or whatever devs dream up. The “Cloud” part of the “Cloud Communicator” name means that NEC thinks the LT-W would be great for generic cloud services, but really, it’s just an Android 2.1 tablet with WiFi, Bluetooth, and optional 3G — there’s nothing special in here that makes it particularly well-adapted for magically pulling data out of the cloud. Unfortunately — cloud or otherwise — we didn’t come away with a very positive impression of this thing. Our very first red flag was the stylus, which matches up with a pair of 800 x 600 resistive touchscreens that don’t seem particularly bright or contrasty. Some of NEC’s sample apps (which you can see in the video after the break) make decent use of the dual display setup, but nothing blew us away — and more importantly, everything seemed just a little too jerky for a Cortex-A8 core. If NEC were to remix this with a Tegra 2 , two capacitive touchscreens, and Honeycomb , we might be singing a different tune… but for now, this seems like little more than a Courier gone wrong.
