This thing is beyond cool. At least the mock up is- although the thing looks like it's on it's way to real world coolness.
Major props for showing Warcraft on that freakin' awesome screen. (Well, the mock up screen.)

Apple knocks one out of the park
The live blogged event can be found here
The games look really, really good. I'm very surprised. There's a bunch of other good stuff coming too, I'm sure. I'm just really caught up on Touch Fighter and Spore right now.
Now of course come the rumors again of a 3G phone in June. I think it's a lock. (um, can I have 32gigs too? Please Steve?)

Microsoft to offer Blu Ray?
Someone over at Sony let some info 'slip' about an Xbox 360 Blu Ray player. It's not known at this time how it would be implemented- stand alone or integrated into a super-360. Or even if this is true, for that matter.
MS might very well be looking Blu after the death of HD-DVD. They've said in the past that they wouldn't be against offering a Blu Ray player if HD failed. Taking that into account, this very well might have a kernel of truth to it.
If it is true, Microsoft needs to make this puppy cheap. Very cheap. Why? They need to make the possibility of a Blu 360 more enticing than a PS3 (which plays Blu Ray natively) if they want to spike sales. It may seem odd to think movie playback would drive 360 sales, but consider the fact that the majority of PS3 owners have said that Blu Ray movies played a big part in their purchase. Some have sighted it as the sole reason for owning a PS3.

Bludgeoning
That's the only word for it really. The Wii has outsold the PS3 a staggering 4-1 in Japan. I'm not even going to post the numbers for the lead it has over the Xbox 360 (the Japanese hates them some Xbox).
Considering that Sony has had the market wrapped up over there since the PS1 launched, this really is something to see. Maybe they're just happy that the king is back in town.

You look a little old for Solid Snake
The official date is out for the first Metal Gear for the PS3. You'll be able to pick it up on June 12, just in time to pop the AC on and spend some time away from the painful rays of the summer sun.
Here's to hoping that this is a good one. I'm overly pessimistic about anything that launches with this much fanfare. (oh lord, not another special edition console) Sony needs it, Konami knows it- MGS 4 should be just fine, but there's always that nagging worry. Part of that, I think, is that the graphics aren't really mind blowing. Snake looks good, but not that good...
We'll see.

On the Edge of 3G
There's some stuff going around right now saying that A 3G networked iPhone will drop this year- sometime over the summer to be (a teensy bit) more exact. While this would certainly be good news as the 3G net moves much faster than boring old Edge, the phone better have something else going for it if Apple wants current iPhone users to upgrade.
32gigs would certainly do it for me. Thank you.
