A look back on popular stories from today in a specific year.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
This is what the PS3 shoud have looked like
Funny you should mention that. Actually, one of the previous LocationFree models looked somewhat like a PS2.
Yeah I remember that. I suppose it's Blue Ray that's made the PS3 so chunky
Yea i totally agree that this is how PS3 should have looked like. And by the way sony is introducing a lot of new technology lately. Such as this one here

you mean...goodbye locationfree...not "good by locationfree"
Good by?
Goodbye?
Good buy?
WTF... you have 3rd graders doing your stories now? Good by???? Can't blame the spellchecker on that one.
Quoted for protection: "Good by LocationFree, hello Vaio Base Station LV-V30 ("with LocationFree technology")."
Yet another fantastic Sony product that 90% of people know nothing about and most of the other 10% aren't interested in. They're probably too busy wetting their knickers over AppleTV and missing the point completely. Again.
Three new, cool-looking, reasonably-priced Sony products on Engadget in one day. And none of them "strategic" - just straight value.
We sense a turnaround.
The years of trying to push unwanted tech onto consumers [MD, Memory Stick, Blu Ray] seem to be over. Maybe Sony will go back to making great quality great looking products once again? Here's to hoping...
wonder what the back looks like?
There are bunch of pictures in the VAIO gallery for some reason...
Since we're picking on the grammer, "...Sony didn't kill LFTV, and thankfully it looks like that's not the case" means Sony did kill the LFTV. Get rid of that "not."
Is that grammer or grammar?
AHHHHHH!!! double negative!
so which is it?
what does engadget want from Sony?!?!!
but in all seriousness... even though the base is only $250, how much is the TV to go with it?
I'm not trolling or anything , I'm just a bit confused.
What does this thing do exactly , what software does it run and why i s it also in the gallery here: http://www.engadget.com/photos/hands-on-with-sonys-vaio-tz-superultraportable-notebook/
my guess is in the tags,
since it's technically a vaio product, it goes in the vaio gallery?
and it's the base for a wireless handheld TV, it's not a computer.
It basically takes 2 video sources and streams them on the internet for playback on a laptop, PSP, MAC or smartphone.
To Grant and Jake - It works on any TV that has Video-out.
By plugging it into your TV, you can watch TV on any LFTV-compatable device, such as PSP, or Vaio laptop over the Interwebs.
So you mean its a more expensive slingbox?
Thanks!
Come on guys. It's goodbye....right? Not "good by".
I think even Veronica Belmont would have gotten that one right Ryan.
I wrote a review of a previous model last year. The link is here:

It works really well, especially for streaming TV to PSP.
JET
Now, if they made the PS3 a LocationFree player too...
Basically with remote play you can stream contents from your computer to your PS3 and watch them on your PSP so it does have a similar feature.
Bill, what I meant was to stream content from the LocationFree basestation to the PS3.
