Touch screens phones, PMP’s (portable media players) and now MID’s (mobile internet device) seem to be the rage. At least after scanning full a day of posts around the web centered on CES. More►

As the year closes, it appears Sony is looking to get you to purchase a HDTV in order to boost numbers on the Playstation 3. The “special” ends on Monday, December 31st. If you want a “free” Playstation 3 act fast.

There were many rumors regarding this, but patience paid off for gamers in Korea, who had to go without a PS3 for what seems like forever. Sony said a larger hard drive was being considered, and the 80GB PS3 is confirmation. Expected price is 518,000 won / $557. More►

The Sony NW-A800 Video Walkman has been met with plenty of negativity in the last few days. Maybe Sony hopes this video from Silvabokis found on Youtube will change a few opinions. More►

With 8.1 megapixels and Carl Zeiss 15x optical zoom, the Sony H9 ($480) brings the action up close and personal. Expected to hit store shelves sometime in April, the Sony H9 will allow you to catch even better photos of Britney Spears without the risk of getting slugged with an umbrella.

We like these before they went “premo” on us. Now, Sony has beefed up the VAIO UX with a 32GB flash drive and dubbed it “Premium”. Price skeets upwards with the inclusion of the flash drive. However, you’ll be thankful for the speed improvement and longer battery life.

Besides the hard drive upgrade, here’s the Sony VAIO UX Premium under the hood; Intel Core Solo processor, 512MB RAM, 2 digital cameras, VoIP/Wi-Fi, 4.5-inch widescreen SVGA display, USB 2.0 port, Memory Stick Duo slot, GPS navigation etc… Vista-ready and ships in February for $2,500

Love the LEGOS. None are in the office desk drawers though (Really, I promise). QJ says the best use of the LEGO license thus far has been video games. I won’t give the immediate nod, but right now I can’t really say what else has been a better licensed product. However, the screenshots of LEGO Star Wars II without question look great and on September 12 Sony PSP fans will be able get their paws on LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy, complete with unlockable characters, Wi-Fi support and other exclusive addons.

Sony sends the message in vibrant colors to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the VAIO series. 500 limited edition FJ Graphic Splash Edition notebooks. $1,129.99 is the starting price for the special edition FJ290 notebooks, which gets you a 14.1′ LCD, Wireless LAN, 512MB, 40GB hard drive, a DVD+R double layer optical drive and Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition. However I’m sure you’ll want an upgrade to match the flossy, candy coated exterior. Options include a 2GHz Intel Pentium M chip, 1GB of DDR-SDRAM, a more respectable 100GB hard drive (preloaded with 5 Sony Picture movies), personal engraving and more.

Well we stumbled across this, like a gazillion hours ago but had a major screwup and forgot about it. But since it seemed to a few of you that we crapped over the Pink Sony Playstation 2 we figured to give you Sony fans something to cheer for. It’s a nice little video showing the basics of menu navigation for the upcoming Sony PS3. Word on the street is you’ll be able to customize your PS3 desktop, so don’t fret at the sea of blue. We think the on-screen icons could be a bit larger, but we’ll keep quiet and let you judge for yourselves. Add friends, change displays, component options, check email, login to different accounts, update your PS3 and a bunch of other useful functions. Brief Untold Legends game clip as well. Check it at here.

Pink is everywhere. Thanks a great deal to mobile glam devices like the Motorola RAZR and the Apple iPod. Now it seems game consoles are the next to get the color treatment. Nintendo in comparision to other console makers has offered color variations for its portable gaming systems for quite a while. Sony despite the recent PSP ad fiasco, for the most part has stayed with the tried and true. Could console colorways be the next big thing? Who knows.

The console is said to be limited edition so if you want one be sure to mark your calendars. The release date for the Pink Sony Playstation 2 is set for a November 8th. Until then the Leipzig Games Convention will be the place to catch the PPS2.
