Sony's 3D capable Bravia LCD TV

Got a chance to try this out today. It was a weird experience but an eye opener at the same time because of the evolution of today's technology. The ads on the side says that in order to get the 3D experience 4 things are needed:

1. A 3D capable Sony LCD TV
2. A player capable of reading the 3D content (a ps3 was used for the demo)
3. The 3D glasses for the 3D capable LCD TV
4. and lastly the media that has the 3D content (a blu-ray demo disc was used for the demo)

Tried on the sleek looking 3d glasses (complete with pouch for safe keeping when not in use), which looks like an oakley inspired shades. Looks like one that cyclops would use as there are no open spaces because it hugs the surrounding area of the eyes. I also noticed that it has a switch of some sort on the left inside part of the glasses. Wasn't able to ask the demo person on what the switch does because a lot of persons were asking questions which kept him busy.

The LCD is I think the 52" version of the Bravia series albeit it's seems the screen used was an OLED type. Colors were vibrant and once the glasses were put on the video pops out of the screen. Feels weird and it took awhile before my eyes could adjust. Wasn't able to see how wipeout looks on 3d because when I took my turn it was.... wait for it..... Wheel-of-Fortune!! The wheel and prizes popped up like that of a pop-up book. I really wished I could've tried it out a bit longer to see other content but there were a lot of people at the time that also want to try it out. I wonder how it feels to use it while playing God of War 3 or Dante's Inferno? hmmmm.....

God of War Collection

This game has been eating my time a whole lot (and I do mean a LOT) these past few weeks. The best thing about it is I never had a chance to play GoW 1 and 2, I only got hooked when I played it on the PSP. For me this was a good bargain since the FMV's and cut scenes are digitally remastered to be shown in HD plus they added a trophy collection to both games and the bonus features on both discs are still included in the BD. Unfortunately, I have been playing the game in God Mode for 1 and I haven't tried the Titan mode for 2 (the words "VERY HARD" are putting me off. hehehe). The only problem now is the release of God of War 3 is very near and I haven't thought of a way on how to pay for it. I played the demo and all I can say is that it was hella good for a demo!

Play Station 3: Move

Sony says it's still a working title but this is their answer to the Wii and 360's Project Natal. Looks a bit promising to say the least. With the PS3's processing power and gpu power plus free moving toys, I have high hopes for this. Plus it looks like I don't have to shell out for a Wii afterall.

Alienware m11x

update: I just searched around the local shops/sites that are selling the m11x and unfortunately the thought of owning one was crushed really hard as the basic model (the cheapest seller that I saw) will set me back a good $1400USD. It's probably because of the shipping and tax charges that we'll be facing once the rig arrives. Really wish I could find a local reseller authorized by Dell and hopefully it'll be closer to the actual prices posted on Alienware and Dell's site.

I so want this notebook. I've been searching around for a portable notebook/netbook to lug around which is powerful enough but has enough battery life to have me finish the work I need to do. I was, and still am, considering msi u230 but i'm crossing my fingers that this would arrive on our shores and pray to the gods that I could afford it (which is barely - who wants to donate? :P). Check the vid by GamerLiveTV. (the host's very pretty to.) Also check out the vid on 3D gaming near the end of the clip.

Motorola Backflip

I don't know what to make of it. I'm not really sure if it's cool or pretty weird. Looks like your typical smartphone as of late but with a few head-scratching features. Take a look for yourself.
