We’ve heard plenty about Sony’s PS3 Motion Controller , but we hadn’t actually seen a press shot of it until now. Looks pretty PlayStation-ey, wouldn’t you say? Sony has also confirmed that spring 2010 is the launch window… can’t come soon enough!

Look, we enjoy a bit of excessive caloric intake now and again ourselves, but the much-leaked Instinct HD really seems to have let itself go. We just got pics of the device up against a box, and the word is it “feels like a bloated s30 in your hand… and that is not meant as a compliment.” Ouch.

 Here’s a great scenario for you, if you happen to be Sony’s wallet: charge $250 for a handheld console without a physical game media option, and then charge on average $5 more for downloaded titles than they go for at retail, since you have zero competition in the download space. That seems to be SCEA’s definition of “price parity” right now for the PSP, though in Japan downloadable titles have been on average slightly cheaper than their physical counterparts.

The HP DreamScreen Not So Dreamyactivatedmedia.com

Last week I saw some coverage of this new HP device called the DreamScreen . And more than a couple of blogs were comparing it to the elusive Apple Tablet . Given my extreme interest in this space, I thought I should get this new DreamScreen in my hands as soon as possible and see if HP had indeed beaten Apple (and us) to the punch in delivering the first high quality tablet computing experience to consumers.
