I came across an interesting article about Sony’s strategy with the PS3. Of course Sony has been telling us since day one that the PS3 is not just a gaming console. This article pretty much drives the point home. The bottom line is that Sony is putting all it’s eggs in the Blu-ray basket. Once [...]

Baseball

No comments

Some of you reading this may not understand why baseball is such a great game. If you get the chance, watch an HBO documentary called “Brooklyn Dodgers: Ghosts” and I think you get a pretty good idea why so many people love this pastime. I hate the Yankees and am tired of hearing Red Sox [...]

Good Stuff

No comments

Sometimes the good folks of the internet post the collective wisdom of the past. Case in point, Sony Corporation and the PS3. Next-Generation Systems has an excellent summary of the collective pearls of wisdom that dribbled from the lips of various folks about products during yesteryear. You can’t make this stuff up it is so [...]

Mixed messages from Sony

No comments

It seems that Sony is all over the map. First there was a leaked price cut, but it was not really a price cut. Not that big of a deal because rumors are often denied. Then there was a price cut, but now it may really be more of a price reduction of a system [...]

Out of time

No comments

I have not had much time to post the last couple of days, but I have plenty of things I want to post about.  E3, Super Stardust HD, PS3 DVD upconverting/upscaling, crap from video game magazines, and then some. I just saw that ebgames.com is running a $5 off coupon, for today only, on one [...]

I’m not talking about World of Warcraft this time. I had Sprint as a carrier many years ago. I left very quickly and was a long time Cingular customer until my office got a deal from Nextel. I was happy with Nextel until Sprint purchased them and I went back to Cingular. Now comes this [...]

Price cut aside, Sony needs to do some serious work at E3 to get some momentum for the PS3, but more on that after we get the price cut business out of the way. A $100 price cut will help improve sales, but by how much? I believe that there are millions of loyal Sony [...]

More FOX F1 Madness

No comments

When will FOX stop their tape delay coverage of F1 races?  I was looking forward to watching the British GP at Silverstone this morning, but just checked SPEED, and it is not going to be shown, which means FOX has it today at 1PM EST.  FOX had four consecutive events – Canadian GP, US GP, [...]

.005 Seconds

No comments

What can happen in .005 seconds?  Last night, to end the Pepsi 400 is dramatic fashion; Jamie McMurray managed to nudge in front of Kyle Busch to win the race by .005 seconds.  Needless to say, that was an exciting finish.

Unfortunately I only got to watch Q1 and Q2 at Silverstone today (missing Q3 pretty much stinks), but I am looking forward to tomorrow’s race.  Hopefully we will see some passing action outside of the pitlane.  I did a little pre race prep by running some F1CE time trials at Silverstone.  Have I said lately [...]

Console Rumors Galore

No comments

It looks like a PS3 price drop is imminent no matter Sony does to deny that a price drop will be in full force by next weekend.  I think the current price point of $599 is much too expensive for the mass market.  Sony will only reach diehard fans (looking at myself in the mirror [...]

WoW – A Daunting Task

2 comments

There are a couple of guys at work that I consider pretty serious WoW gamers.  These are guys with multiple L70 characters, which got me to thinking.  My mage just made L38, and is about 20% of the way to L39.  If I manage to clear one level per week, I am not going to [...]

Hmmm

No comments

All of the iPhone mania is very puzzling to me. I spent the week setting up my Treo 650 to work with our Microsoft Exchange server and it’s like I never used this year old phone before. Everything synchronizes quite nicely, I never have to do a cable connected synch with Microsoft Outlook, and I [...]

I cannot claim to be a Guitar Hero fan; I am just not coordinated enough and I really do not have any musical talent. Air guitars are a different story – we can all play an air guitar, right? If you want an air guitar that actually plays music, this device may be for you.
