I bet it makes the most sense to have 3G cellular wireless built into the device, but I’m not sure how big the chip/antenna can be if they made such a fuss over size with the 1st gen iPhone (telling everyone that the chip takes a lot of space).

However, two things:

  1. 3G cellular wireless means the device would eat through a battery, so then I’d be curious to know how the pacemaker is powered (this is where I think kinetic power would be awesome)

  2. if it’s 802.11x wifi then how could the device join a secure network?

UNLESS…

The device allowed for 3G tethering using a smart phone :slight_smile:

Goddamn, I’m good.

I love technology.

I downloaded a new dashboard update for the 360 last night, one of the main new features I noticed is you can now buy and download your games through the Xbox Marketplace - and wherever you play from, as long as you login with your own tag you can download any games you’ve purchased and play them without a disc.

Warm up my finally crafted white ass. Just wait till I get my xbox back from microsoft. Then, THEN the Captain Commando x 3 asswhoopings will commence.

Surprised you guys don’t go with the bread and butter combos of the EVO pros.

I was watching the special features on the Green Lantern: First Flight DVD and thought that this movie is going to be awesome. With the voice talent and with what they said about trying to keep with the comic books.

Awesome.

PS3 price drop…AND…PS3 slim version:

Right on time, 18th of August - just as suspected.

Looks like I’m in line for one of them, pity the $299 price tag will probably translate to £299 here.

yeah most likely…I wonder how much more efficient the slim version will be with power consumption. That is what is appealing to me…as the bigger HD isn’t since I’ve upgraded mine to 250GB anyways.

Hmmm, I’ve just done some hunting around and it seems it’s going to be around £250 here:

Thing is, the original PS3 retails for £295 + a game here, so if the rumoured £80 price drop off RRP occurs here on the old model, I may just stick with the original.

Damn…I was expecting The Last Airbender. That does look cool though even though I don’t understand what the fuck is going on.

I take back what I said about this game. I brought it today and had a blast. I wish all games were this cheap.
