PS3 Sales up 300 percent last week

, Nov 15th 2007 Discuss [2]

That’s just here in the US, and Sony is blaming the introduction of the $400 40GB model for the spike. Last week, the week ending in November 11th, Sony sold over 100k PS3’s in the US alone. That’s a hell of an increase over the 30-40k a week they were selling. So now I am thinking I might have to go get myself a PS3 and see what all the hype’s about. Read The Full Story

Samsung sick of trying to please Japanese

, Nov 9th 2007 Discuss [0]

So they quit, they are through, from here on out you’ll have to go somewhere else to get your consumer electronics. Really they are, but I don’t think it was on that bad of terms, it was a simple business decision, they can’t hardly compete with the native companies such as Panasonic, Sony, Sharp, or other companies they had to compete with. They are hoping to continue selling their components to companies for business to business sales, but that’s it. Not much of a difference really, they had already pulled their products from shelves a while ago, but now they won’t even be selling them online to Japan. Read The Full Story

Sony offers up Eco design coverings for FZ laptop line-up

, Nov 8th 2007 Discuss [0]

So Sony, in a fairly weak effort to seem socially responsible, has decided to offer up 1% of the sales cost of these Eco-wrapped laptops to an environmental charity. Sure, one percent is a step in the right direction, but really, is that the best they could do? Anyways, you can get your laptop covered with your choice of four cover designs, Caribbean Water, Clay Earth, Spotted Life, and Bloom. Then the 1% goes to onepercentfortheplanet.org which is a collection of companies that are trying to make a healthier environment. Read The Full Story

HD-DVD player sales up

, Nov 8th 2007 Discuss [1]

In fact, last weekend offered up a spike in sales. A spike to the tune of 90,000 HD-DVD players, take that Blu-Ray. Sure, Blu-Ray got ahead by integrating their player into the PS3, but HD-DVD has recently made some moves to increase the number of their players out there, first, they started offering coupons for up to 5 free HD-DVDs with the purchase of a player, then they dropped the price of the Xbox 360 HD-DVD player, then they dropped the prices to around $200.

Samsung beats Vizio in TV market, balance restored to the Force

, Nov 1st 2007 Discuss [0]

Vizio, the company that came to market and then went straight to the number one spot due to their respectable HD LCD displays and extremely cheap prices has lost the number one spot. Its ok, they shouldn’t feel bad about it, they lost it to Samsung, a company known for making most of the best displays out there, personally, I would feel honored to lose to such a worthy opponent. There are a few reasons given why this change in power might have happened, probably the best is the lack of 1080p from the Vizio lineup, I don’t think they are completely devoid of a 1080p set, but Samsung has far more of them. Another reason blames where they different sets are marketed. Read The Full Story

Apple OS X moves 2 million copies over the weekend

, Oct 30th 2007 Discuss [0]

Since when did Apple’s OS start doing MS numbers? Apparently since the 26th when they released Leopard. I reckon that’s what you get when you make a quality OS from the beginning and then just continue to improve upon it. 2 million copies is amazing, I can’t wait till Friday to see what their entire first week sales are.

VZW getting UTStarcom XV6800/HTC Titan

, Oct 22nd 2007 Discuss [3]

So I talked not too long ago about a batch of new phones that Verizon was getting, I am pretty sure this one was on the list. Now here it is in real life with the Verizon badging junk on it. The word on the streets is that you will be able to buy it on November 2nd, but that’s not official. But surely they should drop it sometime in November, that’s when everyone else is dropping their new holiday sales phones. Read The Full Story

Hark! The Herald Angels Sing! XP Sales Extended for 5 Months!

, Sep 28th 2007 Discuss [1]

I am considering giving Vista another go with the advent of service pack 1, but after my bad experience with Vista the first time around, it’s a hard decision to make. That’s why I am happy that Microsoft has extended the sale of Windows XP by 5 months, which means the end date for XP sales will, as of now, be June 2008. Why, you might ask? Demand, it really is that simple, their vendors, aka OEMs, told them there was still a pretty high demand for the OS, likely coming from the business segment, but surely there is a sufficient amount of demand from the public pool as well. I read and article from some guy that was at one of those huge LAN parties that happens at various locations throughout the world, they ran a poll, 2% of the gaming rigs there were running, this is where I have to ask what you thought the rest of that sentence was going to be? Well it ends with Vista, which means 98% of the gaming machines were still running XP. Read The Full Story
