Sony may not have a permanent price cut coming on the PlayStation 3, but Amazon has a nifty one-day sale going on for the popular Blu-ray player ... er ... gaming console. The mega online retailer has the PS3 as its gold box special for today, June 11, marked down fifty bucks to $349.99. Since it’s release, it’s been well-argued that the Sony machine is the best Blu-ray player going, as a side note to the gaming and media streaming capabilities. At $399 regularly priced,… View this story

As far as “full HD” 1080p video goes, just about every new HDTV features the resolution but the options for taking advantage of it are still limited. Upscaling DVD players aside, you’ve got native 1080p high-def from Blu-ray players and Blu-ray discs; HD DVD discs and some HD DVD players, some media servers that let you load Blu-ray; on-demand video from satellite providers DirecTV and DISH Network (though Blu-ray scoffs at the satellites’ claims of Blu-ray-like 1080p performance) and the Vudu player; and some web… View this story

Looking to add a gaming console to your entertainment or home theater setup but not quite ready to spring $400 on a PlayStation 3? Or maybe you already have a standalone Blu-ray player and just want games? Sony’s dropping the price on its previous iteration of the popular console, the PlayStation 2, to $99.99. Sure, it’s a little less frilly than the PS3, but at a quarter of the price it’s not a bad entree into the world of gaming. Sony confirmed the PS2 price… View this story

The natural evolution of on-demand programming has extended its reach to gaming. The OnLive Game Service makes its debut this week with an expected official launch later this year, bringing you subscription games without the need for an Xbox or PlayStation and the like. OnLive will let gamers choose from the console-neutral games stored on its servers in acting as a “virtual console”—you’ll be able to play the games on PCs or your big-screen TV. “Were providing you with the latest high-end titles, the exact… View this story

More of us are gamers these days—yup, incredible graphics, extended role-playing and interactive experiences will do that. Guess it’s not too big of a stretch to estimate, but research firm NPD Group (via USA Today) in its latest figures says the number of gamers in the U.S. rose in 2008 from 59 to 61 percent. It also found that the percentage of people who said they played online was also up 2 percent, from 33 to 35 percent—though at the same time the largest portal… View this story

All of you PlayStation 3 owners now have another feature to brag about. According to the official PlayStation blog, a firmware update (v2.60) is now available, and will enhance some of the gaming console’s multimedia capabilities. The key feature is a new, fancy photo gallery, which allows users to organize and display digital pics. However, this is a lot cooler than your average photo slideshow. Users can organize pics by date/time, the camera used, facial expressions, and even the number or ages of people in… View this story

Next time you yell at that slacker gamer to stop rotting his/her brain, remember—you need to respect your elders. That’s right; thanks to the Wii and DS, the gaming market is no longer limited to pimply-faced young men. The definition of a gamer can be your mom, your girlfriend and even your grandpa. Packaged Facts, a market research company, just took a gander at the gaming market. Their report states that gamers are just as likely to be female than male now. Also, apparently 52… View this story

Just because you aren’t a good gamer, it doesn’t mean you can’t be better. It doesn’t require you quitting your job or hours of special thumb exercises; just one patent from our friends at Nintendo. According to Yahoo! Games, the company has applied for a patent that would put demos into various games. Users could choose between a thumbnail or full-screen view. Either way, the person playing could get a tutorial, which would make things a whole lot easier. Another idea is that gamers could… View this story

Both the Xbox 360 and PS3 allow gamers to feed their need for other entertainment. Now it looks as though Nintendo will soon follow suit, adding video to its offering. While you were opening presents yesterday, Nintendo was announcing that the Wii will soon have video features. Apparently, some will be original programming, which will be available through the web. Gizmodo has a very scary image to match the good news, saying that some of it will be free and some will not. The service… View this story

Better watch those flailing arms and legs when you are playing Wii. Fox News says that up to 10 gamers a week are going to the hospital with Wii-related injuries. Apparently, doctors in Britain have even come up with a video to warn people about the dangers. Keep in mind, though: This report is coming from The Sun, which also features the headline: “Pecs appeal: Is Obama simply the chest?” However, I know that I’ve almost lost a tooth or two—especially during a round of… View this story
