Just what I’ve always thought to be honest, a former Xbox Europe VP stated that he can see gaming consoles dead within 10-15 years. Truthfully I’ve never got into them, I find that their over priced and by the time you’ve got all the games and stuff for it another model from another manufacturer thats better than what you have got comes out. Its an extremely competitive market and if the consoles don’t make it within in about at least a month that to me kinda tells us whether or not its going to go well for that company; a good example of this is the Sega Dreamcast, it was ahead of it’s time in my view therefore not many people were interested in it so therefore after a few months on the market it was pulled from production.At first I didn’t think the PS3 was going to kick off, but now it turns out due to the death of HD DVD that PS3s have been selling really well lately since it is considered a cheap Blu-Ray player.

So here’s is another miss judgement YET again by the wonderful PC world. I recently seen the new Apple commercial where it states that PC World had tested many computers with Windows Vista and the result was the fastest laptop to run Windows Vista was the MacBook Pro. This was there to prove that MacBook Pro’s were more compatible with Vista than any other laptop……
Turns out PC World made a little blooper. Turns out this was not the final result as later on they decided to test the Eurocom D900C Phantom; which then turned out to be the fastes laptop to run Vista on it.
But wait here’s the sweet part. PC World has now declared that Vista is the Number 1 with a bullet in their Biggest Tech Disappointments of 2007. Well this is just throwing the people that don’t really know anything about computers completely off the ropes. Their saying one thing and then the next minute going against it.



Personally to me I don’t find Vista that bad; I run it on my laptop and once you know how to disable the annoying secrurity pop-ups it’s just more of a pleasent version of XP. And to be honest I wouldn’t really trust PC World with a ten foot barge poll due to my experience.

Ah if only Christmas was sooner; wouldn’t mind getting my hands on one of these (preferably the Zelda one). The gold edition of the DS comes with The Legend Of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass and its very own Signature Logo of Zelda emblazoned on the DS itself….Now that made me cream. These two Special Editions are said to be released on the 23rd of this month, however there is no say on the price yet. But rumours have believe that it will be around $150 (but for the UK I’m guessing it’ll be about £100)

This very nice slim designed is a new Back Lit HD LCD TV soon to relesed by LG. It’s 47inch screen comes with a very nice slim design, 1080p support and built in speakers. However the actual specifications are not yet to be released. However rumour around is that it has a High Contrast Ratio with Automatic Brightness and Colour Optimizing Technologies. If only I weren’t a student I wouldn’t say no to splashing out on one of these babies.

Personaly to me this does sound like a good idea. But what of us people in Scotland, the most amount of sun we get is about 3 days a year. But overall I’m never too keen on bluetooth headsets. Yes they do give us hands free and is all good for keeping with the law of not driving with your mobile phone but think they should of atleast had some sort of nicer lookin design, like Lee Evans said “it’s like you’ve gone into a battle with a Walrus and lost”. Thats the perfect description I find for them. So for now I’ll keep to my handsfree kit with my Walkman Phone.
