Sharp’s Sexy 3D Blu-ray Player BD-HP90S

by Jay Garrett on September 2, 2010

This little beauty has caught my eye mainly because it looks so good.

There’s going to be plenty-many 3D Blu-ray players so they’re going to have to do something to stand out from the crowd.

Sharp’s BD-HP90S ticks the boxes for looks – it’s shiny, thin and doesn’t just rely on its sexiness.

The Sharp BD-HP90S will gladly sling out 3D and 2D Blu-ray pics all day long and hooks up to BD-Live content via its in-built wi-fi.

Looking to dish out media from other devices? That’s where the front USB socket comes in – no need to go scrabbling round the back.

The lovely LED indicators to tell you if it’s playing in 3D or the enhanced Aquos “Pure Mode”.

The Sharp BD-HP90S will cost you £379.99 and goes on sale in November – just in time for Santa ;)

Sony Ultimate Weapon 3D Audio Gaming Headphones

by Jay Garrett on August 17, 2010

Sony believes that when it comes to first person shooters what you can hear is often as important as what you can see.

Ideally, what you need is something that will kick out 3D surround sound direct to your lugholes.

Perhaps some headphones with a name that would leave you without any doubt what kind of user they’re aimed at…..

A name such as Ultimate Weapon…..

Whaddya know – that’s exactly what Sony’s brand-spanking new DR-GA500 cans will do!

This gaming headset comes partnered with a separate Dolby Pro Logic IIx box to process your computer’s audio into 7.1-channel surround sound and the all important mic for taunting your foes from around the globe.

If that’s a little too involved you could always opt for the GA-200 model which doesn’t bother with that extra processing.

For maximum comfort on those long sessions both headsets sport super special “triple enfolding” padding – so no more excuses of uncomfy cans distracting you being the reason for the amount of ‘friendly fire’ you’ve been dishing out.

As an extra gaming bonus you’ll get a free copy of the latest ‘Medal of Honour’ single player with your new headgear.

As per usual there’s no word on prices but expect them to appear around mid-October.
