PS3 Coffee Table Makes Gaming The Focalpoint Of Your Living Room

ps3_coffee_tableI must admit that Im not much of a Playstation 3 person, more of a Wii person. However, this product is really making me want to buy a Playstation 3 and deck out my living room.

Stephane Perruchon is the designer of this glass topped table, with the base made up of two gigantic PS3 controllers. It’ll make your place look like the classiest dorm room ever! Which would be awesome if you actually still live in a dorm room, but otherwise, I’m not so sure.

Sony E Reader Pocket Edition and Reader Touch Are Official

sony-ebook-readers

Sony has released two new eBook readers today which are the Reader Pocket Edition and the Reader Touch Edition. Priced at $199 and $299 respectively, Sony’s new eBook reader duo has been rumored for quite some time now and thanks to a J&R snafu, we even caught the full specs this past Monday.

Leading titles for these readers will be available for purchase on the Sony eBook store from $9.99 to $11.99. Sony has stated that Mac compatibility and wireless eBook downloading a la Kindle are on the horizon.

I still feel that these readers from Sony and others such as the Samsung Pocket eReaders are a long way behind Amazon’s Kindle. The sexiness of the products just arent there!

Sony’s Walkman 30 Years

walkmanYes, I know, you probably didn’t even think about a walkman in a long time; and most likely it’s been a real while since you’ve seen one, but Sony’s is -NOT- celebrating the release of their first Walkman 30 years ago.

Sony is still trying to make a revolutionary product release that they didn’t have particulary since the first portable audio player hit the market. They are having a rough year (first annual loss balance in 14 years) and they don’t have so great expectations for next year either. Most of the hopes are placed in PlayStation 3 (mainly based on two things, the release of the slim version and waiting for the blu-ray to become a real home standard), and also the portable new console PSP Go!

Getting back to the walkman’s story, here’s a quick and funny image that a friend of mine sent me today:
