Yesterday, an Australian business site reported on Microsoft’s warranty extension story and conference call (about 4 days after it happened; see our report here). Okay, so they were a bit late. What is a site to do when they report on a story so late? Make something up! As you know, the story is that [...]

Yesterday there was a report that someone at Sony (with the fancy title of PRESIDENT no less) said that the 60GB PS3 was no longer being produced, and as soon as the current stock sold out, they would go back to selling a single SKU (presumably, the crippled 80GB version). He said that they would [...]

In what’s becoming an E3 tradition where console manufacturers try to one-up each other with price cuts right as the event starts, a securities analyst is saying that Microsoft will very likely announce a price cut of their own for all models of the 360 during E3. He said that the price cut will affect [...]

Update: Coming in from GameDaily is confirmation from “one of the world’s biggest retailers” that the price cut is indeed true. w00t! Consider this a total rumor right now, but folks on the DVD Talk Forum have come up with what looks to be next week’s advertising for Circuit City. In it, the PS3 receives [...]

You’d think that after ten freakin’ years in production, they could give us a little more than this screenshot that surfaced yesterday. I’m not even sure what it really is. I sort of see some tentacles and some glowing bits of stuff. I tried doing the magic eye thing but that didn’t work either. Apparently [...]

A few weeks before the announcement of Starcraft 2, I commented to a friend that Blizzard had been slacking off for almost three years. I know World of Warcraft is huge but everyone at Blizzard can’t all possibly be working on it. Well, turns out they were secretly working on the Starcrat sequel for awhile. [...]

Kotaku has what they believe are the final specs for the purported upcoming revision of the PSP. It is not going to be a “PSP 2″ or anything like that, but a new form factor revision using the same internal hardware (like Nintendo’s DS Lite vs. DS). Some of the features they report are: A [...]

There are only three materials known to man that when products are made of said material, those products are automatically infused with cool. These are carbon fiber, titanium and brushed aluminum. Unfortunately, making computer products out of carbon fiber would be absurdly expensive and and probably rather heated and titanium isn’t cheap either. Brushed aluminum, [...]

There’s only nine days left until Blizzard announces what their next game will be, and the guessing game is heating up. That’s to be expected since Blizzard has yet to make an actual bad game. I’ll give them a pass for Starcraft: Ghost and that other Warcraft game since they never came out, but in [...]
