Sep 5th 2008 12:12PM $200 X360 + hard drive = higher price than Wii.

and since we all know the HDD is necessary (since the memory cards suck) that means the Wii is still the least expensive console.

PS3 firmware 2.10 allows Remote Play of PS1 games {Engadget}

Dec 18th 2007 9:18PM ...or just install custom firmware 3.52M33 or 3.71M33 to the PSP so you can drag and drop PSX Eboots into your PSP's Memory stick. No need for that official firmware nonsense.

Phantom Lapboard now on sale, suckers rejoice {Engadget}

Dec 16th 2007 12:01AM Its more ergonomic because the wrist doesn't have to be turned flat out, as they do with conventional keyboards. If you look at good quality ergonomic keyboards you'll noticed that they are raised in the center between where each hand is placed and from that peak it slopes slightly until the edges. The slope looks really extreme on the Phantom board because the whole board is tilted to one side to accommodate the mouse underneath, but if you are playing a shooter you wouldn't be using that other, highly raised, side of the keyboard.

Phantom Lapboard now on sale, suckers rejoice {Engadget}

Dec 15th 2007 10:47PM I must be the only person that thinks the Phantom lapboard is actually a good idea.

Having a wireless laptop on your lap while you type is no problem but using a mouse is a pain in the ass because you have to find a surface.
its just awkward to use a conventional KB&M on the lap, and I'm not going to settle for a crappy air mouse. An air mouse can't do $#!# for me when I'm trying to play twitch shooters on the PC.

The tilted keyboard only seems unnatural to those who haven't actually though about how it would operate. The tilt would actually be more ergonomic than having it flat on your lap and, hence, more comfortable.

Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to find my flame shield... since there are a lot of users here who follow the heard and bash what ever tech is popular to bash.
