For only $499 at Target.com, you can own a little bit of nostalgia.
Carboard Computer Case
Japanese manufacturer Lupo now has a cardboard PC case available for consumers.
The cardboard case comes unassembled, but punching out a few pre-cut sections, some folding along perforated edges and a bit of tab A into slot B will get you a completely biodegradable, if possibly flammable, PC case that will certainly get you some attention at the next LAN party.
Chris Morris on the Gizmondo
CNN Money has an article on the Gizmondo launch here in the United States. The device actually came out nearly a year ago in the UK, which only adds to the number of downfalls writer Chris Morris notes that Tiger Electronics saddled their portable gaming system with.
Between the high price, lack of stellar games, poor hardware design and forced advertisements on a portable gaming device, the Gizmondo comes across as an almost perfect example for how not to compete in a new market.
Grant Theft Auto PSP
Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories for the Sony PSP handheld and after an hour of play I have to agree with most of what’s being said about the game.
Right now, this is the killer app that will help move a good number of people off the fence about Sony’s portable gaming console. Though there are a few concessions made in order to fit a console-sized game into a 1.8GB UMD disc, such as a slightly smaller pedestrian population, GTA: LCS does much to improve upon the original GTA III for the PS2.
