Germans show undying love for Warhammer Online
We've always known that Europe -- and Germany in particular -- were big Warhammer fans. This fandom apparently loses no potency when applied to MMO versions of the franchise, as the German version of the Warhammer Online Collector's Edition has apparently sold out on Amazon. As of right now, there's no word on whether or not more copies of the CE will be produced to meet further demand, but it would be silly for Electronic Arts not to do so. Surprised? Well you probably shouldn't be, as Games Workshop has legions of thronging fans throughout Europe and usually experiences the Hasselhoff effect in Germany. If this kind of trend continues throughout the rest of Europe, we suppose that Warhammer Online's success in North America could become a bit of a moot point.Whatever happens throughout the rest of Europe, It looks like Germany is hooked on a feeling when it comes to WAR.
Germans love David Hasselhoff (and now the Wii)
We've actually been to Germany (honest!) and aside from the potent beer and excellent cuisine we enjoyed at the Hoffbrau Haus, Germany is nothing more than one large David Hasselhoff fan club. We should've believed Norm when he told us, as our "Down with Baywatch" t-shirt got us violently pummeled by many a German citizen. That was a rough week ...Regardless, it looks like the Germans have found a sidekick to their idol David Hasselhoff. The sidekick is the Wii and we couldn't be happier they're endorsing Nintendo's wonderful product.

Hasselblad to release H3D at Photokina
Hasselblad is poised to launch the new H3D during opening day of Photokina this year. The H3D, as the company claims, is the world's first 48mm full frame DSLR camera, and comes in two versions, starting at 22 megapixels and ranges as high as 39 megapixels. It's also got an eye or waist-level viewfinder, an ISO range of 50 to 400, and can stretch out its shutter speed to 32 seconds. We don't have any info on pricing or availability, but given that its predecessors cost in the $30,000 - $40,000 range, it's a safe bet that the H3D is at least as much, and probably worth every penny to the three or four photographers that will ever buy it.
