Gibson Dark Fire

The Gibson Dark Fire looks pretty incredible… but seriously I can’t find a single sound demo of the guitar. Kinda fishy for a guitar than is supposed to be able to sound like any guitar. And it’s around $3500 for a pre-order. So far all I’ve seen are some unbelievable claims and some fancy lights.

PSP games?

I just noticed that PSP is #2 in gaming hardware sales in Japan, selling an incredible 50,000 units in a week. Why are people buying these? What is it that they are playing that I don’t know about? Mine simply collects dust in a box somewhere. I don’t even know which box it’s in, it’s just in a box somewhere.

Incredible Race

What an ubelievable conclusion to the 2008 F1 season! Such an incredible race to finish off the year. I’m truly glad that I followed every race this season and I feel so lucky that I got to watch one of the races in person. Congrats to Lewis and McLaren for winning the World Championships. I’ve got to get myself to another race next year : )

Rockband and Guitar Hero play nice together.

It pleases me more than you could imagine that Rockband for PS3 now supports Guitar Hero 3 guitars. Activision, the Guitar Hero publisher had been blocking this patch for 9 months. I don’t know what happened, but finally all is well. *clickity clack*

Xbox 360 defects: an inside history of Microsoft’s video game console woes » VentureBeat

Dean Takahashi has written the definitive article on the Xbox 360 RROD issue. Although I’m not quite sure it will go down as a “one of the greatest snafus in consumer electronics”, but it certainly does suck. As someone who has fixed this problem several times I truly believe their design was flawed. However it doesn’t just put me off of the 360, it makes me wary of all high powered and high heat consoles. I really worry that something will happen to my PS3 as well which is a launch console just like my 360.
