Since the launch of Sony Corporation’s the 120 GB PS3 over a million units have been sold. During the same period over 600 million types of digital content has been downloaded. Now the word is out that the Slim with a 250 GB hard disk is being released on 3rd November 2009. That should be good news for all those who had so far not bought the 120 GB version and certainly bad news for all those who already have. The monster is as slim as its predecessor and will retail at $350. The bigger capacity means more storage space for movies, games, photos and everything digital. The earlier version with a 120 GB capacity will keep on selling for $50 less and the PS3 (Fat) ones are also not being discontinued.

This amazing Word of Goo game which is a physics based puzzle-construction game can now be purchased for even 1 cent, due to limited special offer available by 2D BOY on first anniversary of this game.

Suggested for everyone and with this limited offer everyone can enjoy this cool game.

Gaming is not what it used to be, remember Pacman or even Dig Dug? Those were simple times and the games even simpler. Not anymore, now it takes a wad of Dollars or an unwilling swipe of your credit card to buy games in any form whether it is DVD, Blu-ray, cartridges , Game Boy, PSP and the list goes on and on. Sony has just released its PSPgo that is a little more than a gaming device, well it is more of an entertainment brick, shall we say. Imagine a PSP having 16 GB of storage to run movies and TV shows (on a 3.8” LCD screen), that’s PSPgo! Oodles of gaming and movie content is buried in the Playstation Network. The device connects to a Bluetooth headset to enjoy gaming experience or even talk to friends via Skype, phew there goes your mobile phone! This is a small unit that easily snuggles in your shirt pocket and has enough storage space for lots of movies and games. It is much smaller than the original PSP (43% to be exact) and the presence of a hard disc obviates the need of discs. PSPgo is available in Black and White colors and the retail price is $ 250.

Nintendo is getting some heat from its competitors Sony Ps3 and Microsoft Xbox 360, and Square Enix’s President, Yoichi Wada, believes the successor to Wii will be released in 2011 featuring HD and a new motion controller. All sounds good but releasing a HD device in 2011 may sound a big step for Wii as most of games available on Wii are not HD ready as of now, but when comparing the HD feature on Sony PS3 and Xbox 360, I believe it will be little late for Nintendo to gather the lime light.

What exactly is the ultimate gadget that one can dream of? Personally I would like to carry one slim not too fat, energy efficient gadget that would allow me to make phone calls, surf the Internet at will (without straining my eyes), play games (well once in a while), listen to music, watch movies, take photographs/make (acceptable quality) videos , locate my position on the planet, use it as a PC (off course with an external keyboard, mouse and display attached),noting less, nothing more.

Although mobile phones have gotten smarter,smaller, and more efficient, but my contention is why to have a separate laptop,camera, GPS, mobile phone, NetBook, webcam, PC etc. Why don’t they make a device which has all of these in one place, a small nifty thing that that sits in your shirt pocket, never mind if it doesn’t have the video projector built in to it. Well I guess somebody heard all this…only a little less, or maybe they are beginning to think like me. I am talking about the Archos 5 and 7 Android based Internet Tablets. These are mean looking devices that pack so much in so little. These things which are coming to the shelves soon have some new features which are not present in any gadget presently:

Screen Res:  800 x400 pixels, High Res screen, 16 M colors

Screen Size:   5 and 7 inches (Archos 5 and Archos 7)

Memory/Storage: 60 to 320 GB (depending on the model)

Connectivity:  USB, Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g)

Attachments: Keyboard, mouse, camera, external memory via USB

OS: Linux

Features and Goodies: PDF Reader, E-mail client, Photo viewer, Web browser, video playback, video recording, Audio recording, video playback, audio playback, built-in speakers, Web TV, Web Radio, games, widgets, video streaming from a PC, and a rather long battery life.

Last Words: Archos 5 and 7 have introduced a new concept in Internet devices that are small but pack a punch. Compared to the Zune or iPod nano it has outstanding features. However, I would still like it when a newer model includes a GPS and camera if not a GSM module.

The wait is almost over now! One of the most cherished game, that everyone must have played in their childhood now launches on a free, web based version. So to remind you of those great memories of White house and Palm street, Google has teamed up with Hasbro using Google Earth and Street view to turn the whole planet into board.

MONOPOLY is launching a game of property empire building on an unimaginable scale in a bid to uncover the greatest property magnate the world has ever known. The entire planet will be pitted against one another in an online game of MONOPOLY turning the globe into one giant game board! The project was made possible by using the street data from OpenStreetMap, combined with Google Maps, API tastic! Want to try? Stay tuned…..just few hours more.

This won’t be around for ever – the Street View version will only be available for four months from tomorrow, in a bid to promote Monopoly City, a 3D version of the board game. So make sure you catch it!

As announced back in march at game developer conference OnLive will allow gamers to play games online without using any hardware. The idea is based on streaming video, Onlive server will let the user connect to their servers using internet, spawn the game of their choice and play, thus only a good internet connection is required. Neat idea if you ask me. This will definitely allow casual gamers to play hardware demanding games without upgrading their PCs.  Cool thing is that the gamers on both PC and mac rigs will be able to enjoy the games.

Well the wait is over and you could be one gamer to find out if this idea is really possible and how good are the services.  OnLive has initiated the Open beta program of their services on their OnLive Blog.

The service right now is only available for US gamers, but I hope as beta phase is over international gamers will also be able to experience the thrill of playing latest game titles via internet stream. Man I sure am excited about this prospect .

Quickly sign up for the beta OnLive site, though there are many factors for you being enrolled in beta program. Check out and perhaps you will get it.
