PS3 Slim

Well Sony announced at GameCom in Germany the release of PS3 Slim which replaces the phat PS3 in september.

The Dark Knight Bat Suit

Universal Desgin, a costume/prop commission site, has license to create official Batman Begins and The Dark Knight products. The most eye-candy in my opinion is The Dark Knight's suit replica, designed with road approved body armor. It comes with with everything except for the mask and cape.

I got no love for cosplays, but this is epic.

Self-Serving Checkouts

'Tech... kinda... alittle bit of spamish'

Woolworths trial self-checkout technology

These checkouts are in the woolworths I go to and I think they're great. I use them when I want to buy a thing or two and just wanna get in and get out. Obviously when I buy too much stuff I'll use the normal checkouts so I don't handle all the stuff.

Today however, I saw that the Westfield Coles also has these Self-Serving Checkouts... and I noticed, its exactly the same as the Woolworths one but red...

'Aren't Woolworths and Coles like in a war or something, why are they exactly the same!?'

Theres only three reason why I think they're 1 to 1 alike;
1) The Self-Serving Checkout interface is owned by someone so Coles bought it cause they can't design their own
2) Coles wanted customers to be familiar with the technology so they made the interface same as their competitor
3) Coles and Woolworths are working together to bring down all local outlets

VAIO Z updated again

The Z has been recently updated with new designs and other stuff, Australia got the Gothic Arabesque, US got Kaleidoscope and Bordeaux Red, and Japan gets like the most stuff.

There was also some technical updates but I don't know atm, will look into later.

Still want but expensive DX

Sony Mice

Was going through Engadget and saw this neat looking Bluetooth mouse.
'Tis so nice so nice'

It then brought me attention to another sweet Sony product, the VAIO Mouse Talk which doubles as phone. I think it was released in the Mid-2006 so its discontinued now.

VAIO Z series

Went to the Sony Store today and took a peak at the Vaio Z that I've been wanting for ages now.
The Z16-17 is off the market now and its now Z36-7...
Not exactly sure the difference at the moment but maybe more HDD space.

Also they have now released the "Designer Covers" and they look nice

I want!?

Wacom... amazing... and expensive DX

INTUOS3

I recently sold my Intous3 Tablet hoping to get a new and more updated one and a few days ago, Intous4 was released.


INTUOS4

It looks so much slicker and a few more button features, very nice.
I think the circle thing is like the oldschool ipod spin thing but I'm just guessing here.


CINTIQ12

But I am still hoping to get the Cintiq12, which if you didn't know is an 'on screen' tablet unlike the other two.

price range from (AUD)
Intuos3 - $570
Intous4 - $600
Cintiq12 - $1700

Games:ミュートマイクUSB

"Don't want people to hear your terrible karaoke singing or don't want to be a bother to people in the next room? Then buy the "Mute Mic USB" for the Wii"

I don't think this is a NINTENDO trademark item but with all their "unique" peripherals over the years why not.



So I guess this is the type of game where you play alone, with a cup in your mouth.
Does that look normal to you?
You can remove the cup and use it as a normal USB Mic but then I'd suggest get a normal USB Mic.

I give it 1 cup out of 5 for its sucess
