Panasonic has unveiled a new camcorder that looks like something a professional videographer would use. If you want something with a really small design, you might want to look elsewhere. If what you want is a camcorder that can do both 2D and 3D with professional image quality the HDC-Z10000 might be exactly what you need. The camera has a two lens design and has a LCD that will show that 3D recording with no glasses needed. Read The Full Story

Nintendo 3DS Price Cut to $169.99 Today

Chris Burns, Aug 15th 2011 Discuss [1]

Whenever there's a price cut of such a magnitude for a device of such importance as the Nintendo 3DS, one would expect there to be a new device coming out OR for the company selling the device in question to be in some sort of big trouble. What we're looking at here instead is a price cut before a brand new color combination is released for the casing on this device. This leads us to believe that either Nintendo had always planned to lower the price to this point immediately before the Flame Red color release OR both the color combination and the price point are now in place to make a renewed move for higher sales in the face of a sinking traditional games market.

Panasonic, Samsung, Sony, and Xpand join forces to push universal active 3D glasses

Shane McGlaun, Aug 8th 2011 Discuss [4]

In the 3D TV world today, there are two main technologies that the sets use. There are active 3D glasses that use batteries to show the 3D effects to people and there are the passive sort. I have tried both and honestly, they seem pretty much the same as far as performance. I have long thought the only reason TV makers use active glasses is to gain another source of income from those that upgrade. The passive glasses are very cheap and make entry into 3D viewing in the home cheaper. Read The Full Story

Chris Davies, Aug 4th 2011 Discuss [0]

Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has published an apologetic open letter to Nintendo 3DS early-adopters, who "may feel betrayed" by the company's decision to slash the handheld's price to $169.99 mere months after its launch. The letter, available in Japanese on Nintendo's site and translated by Giant Bomb, blames a situation in the gaming segment that has "changed greatly" even in the short time since the 3DS went on sale.

HTC has confirmed to SlashGear that its European version of the EVO 3D will arrive in the UK in September 2011, two months after initially expected. No reason for the smartphone's delay was available, though it fits in well given UK carrier Vodafone announced earlier this week that it no longer planned to range the glasses-free 3D smartphone.
