How about this for cool… an R2-D2 Webcam that you can remotely control from anywhere. This thing can be controlled through the internet view web controls, or locally with a lightsaber remote that also doubles as VOIP phone.
Do you have the webcam on the desk, well it has a surface sensor that prevents it from falling when being controlled remotely. It is a limited edition so if its a must have, check out nikkor2d2.com!
Also from Nikko, the R2-D2 DVD projector. This thing is awesome. Its a total entertainment system built into a remote controlled R2-D2. Built in DVD player, inputs for your Wii, XBox 360, and PS3. It is after all a hi-def projector. Multi-positioning for viewing on any wall, contrast ratio of 1800:1, and optical digital output for 5.1 surround sound. Wanna create a slideshow of pictures from your camera? Use the S-Video input. Or use the USB slot for a flash drive or multi-card slot to show pictures, music or video. The remote is modeled after the one and only Millennium Falcon. And best of all it has original R2-D2 sounds.
Sorry everyone. I have been completely caught up in the new Fifa 09 on my PS3. I absolutely love this game. The Be A Pro mode is fantastic as well as the challenging Tournament mode. I am currently in my first tournament and so far so good. Playing as Manchester United, I just took over first place from Chelsea. Its been a tough tournament with only about 10 games left until we crown a victor, but currently I am trying to save as many videos of my sweet plays to easportsfootball.com.
Here is my first one, check it out! Its a great free kick I took with Christiano Ronaldo. I was so happy.
Man U is a great team. With a combination of Wayne Rooney, Christiano Ronaldo, and Berbatov, among others, its been hard to lose. But I have lost matches to teams like Liverpool and Stoke City (which I am embarrassed about) but like I mentioned before, I have finally claimed first spot and hope to carry it to the end.

So I have read around that net on a few other forums, that there are a lot of people experiencing problems with their PS3 locking up right after it boots up.
Here is one reason why this could be happening…
So you all know that there is a laser that is used to read the DVD/BD/CD or whatever right. Well PS3’s have an autostart function when the unit is turned on to allow for any game/movie/cd(music) to play automatically at startup.
The way this works is, the red laser stays on all the time if this function is turned on so that when the unit is powered on, the disc will auto-start. Well guess what happens…. The lens will burn up, causing a malfunctioning PS3 (lock up). Other problems reported are, the discs can’t be read at all.
If this happens to you, the only 2 solutions are… Buy a new PS3 or call Sony and pay them $150 for them to fix the lens. This is not covered by the warranty to my knowledge. So, get it fixed and then go into settings when you get it back and turn the auto-start function off.
Like many many others, my copy of Madden 2009 for Playstation 3 has been freezing. Typically when I am in my second game, sometime mid-game. I have been reading a lot about this problem online and have determined that it is a problem for many gamers on both PS3 and Xbox 360. Once guy actually spoke about older versions of the game causing the same problem on his original XBox. Well EA has not release a patch to fix this problem as of yet, but we are eagerly awaiting that day because its extremely frustrating when you have played a long tough game and fought back to take the lead and the game freezes.
Needless to say I was pretty upset when it first happened because I have heard rumors of the PS3 locking up and I wasn’t about to have that happen to mine. Thankfully its just the game and not the console. Other than that problem, I highly recommend Madden 09 to everyone.
List your complaints below and lets see what we can get EA to do about this problem.
Guitar Hero has become huge in the console genres. First Aerosmith graced the cover a entire game and now Ozzy is going to be apart of the next version, Guitar Hero: World Tour. Ozzy is one of the largest influences on hard rock and heavy metal and having him lend his talents to Guitar Hero is a huge step in the series. What’s next? Check out the video from Gametrailers.com!!!
In other news, Metallica’s drummer Lars Ulrich joked in a recent interview about the possibility of a Guitar Hero: Metallica. What would that be like?
The Call of Duty series is back after an award winning Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, with Call of Duty: World at War. Not much has been released in details yet, but it appears to be set in either the Korean War Japan or Vietnam. Is this a good move for the CoD series. After the much praised Modern Warfare, most people expected a follow-up in the same era. I am curious to see how this will play out in the minds of gamers around the world. It is to be released on the XBox 360, PS3, and PC on an as yet unreleased date.
Check out the trailer below and tell me what you think.
“Yes, we are aware of what the message boards and a few of the industry blogs are saying about a ‘freezing’ issue with GTA IV on a limited number of PS3s.
Although we have seen an extremely low volume of contacts to our customer service department regarding such an issue, we want to ensure that every consumer has a great experience on our console and with GTA IV. All parties involved are working to isolate the problem for those few units and identify a solution.“
There hasn’t been any official fixes released from any of the aforementioned companies but I located this list of recommendations on au.gamespot.com. (more…)
Gametrailers.com has just released their official review of the XBox 360 version of Grand Theft Auto 4 and it looks great. With a hefty $60 price tag to coincide, it looks to be the first game that deserves that kind of cash. I plan to buy it the second it comes out on April 29th(tomorrow). I won’t spoil all the details, here is Gametrailers video review.
