There was be alot speculation about the upcoming Sony Rolly robotic music player. If you haven’t heard…where have you been?  Bluetooth streaming, programmable movement, amazing sound, and a heck of a design.

Rolly has two stereo 20mm active speakers with an output of 1.2W each, but the best part is its movement. Rolly will move all over your room, roaming and playing your favorite tunes via 1BG flash memory or streaming from your PC via Bluetooth!

While moving to the music, Rolly also lights to the tunes with blue, orange, and green LEDs that bounce right along as Rolly does. It’s volume controls are on the rotators, whose movements can also be customized with the “Motion Editor” software that comes with it.

All in all, this is one of the most exciting audio accessories to come this year

new details about Resident Evil 5 are appearing. Latest news comes from japanese magazine Famitsu Xbox, saying that apparently the PS3 game is being delayed until 2008. The reason? The game is apparently very graphically detailed, including fluid facial expressions, realistic hair and skin and an environment that changes from hot to cold weather and affects the games dynamics. All of this has turned the game a little slower than Capcom would want and so they are taking until 2008 to try and keep a stable 60FPS.

Awesome, an extra year to achieve lifelike undead!

December 19th the Cyberathlete Professional League announced they are developing a game specifically designed for professional gaming. The name of the game is Severity and even with that ugly logo this game promises enhanced tournament support, spectator modes and some sort of sadistic… ahm.. statistical module to calculate player’s performance (Unreal Tournament anyone?). The game is set for a late 2007 release.

Is this a good thing at all? When a game model is pushed by one of the big names in professional gaming, does it mean it will become standard? Standards are any formal sport’s foundation but innovation is what drives the gaming industry. Paradox!

Wii-tan is most commonly depicted as a small child, she’s supposed to be of a very happy-go-Lucky attitude, often seen with a Wiimote and nunchuk in her head and other times hanging out with Wiimote-tan and Nunchuk-tan. PS3-tan is constantly teasing her for her supposed immaturity while 360-tan helps her out every once in a while. The Internet has yet to settle on a definitive design for Wii-tan.

 Acer Aspire 9800 Press Release

This controller was built with security systems in mind, but I’m sure that someone could use it as an ultimate remote control for their entertainment PC. It’s the Cyber Controller 4000J by Win4net and it comes with a built-in 5-inch TFT screen.

It’s built to easily toggle between and manipulate an array of cameras. In fact, it can handle up to 999 cameras. Unless you’re running a 200-story casino in Vegas (is there ven something like that?), it’s doubtful that this controller will ever even test that limit in practical applications, but i love when there’s a spec that just sounds really cool.
