Unfortunately, that doesn't mean we're going to be treated to a wave of new schlocky science fiction movies and beloved franchises turned 3D with surrealistic effect. (Three Stooges in 3D anyone.)

Instead peripheral makers, television manufacturers and television channels are all rolling out technology that will likely be obsolete before the decade even hits its teens.

Many of these geewiz gadgets are debuting this week at the Consumer Electronics Show. Just today San Diego-based GUNNAR Optiks, maker of gaming glasses, announced a new line of 3D glasses for gaming

These high-end glasses will work with standard 3D televisions and monitors, but, GUNNAR says, their glasses will feature distortion-free optics and ergonomic design.

"While typical 3D eyewear is stamped from a flat sheet of plastic, GUNNAR lenses are shaped, formed and cut to provide distortion free optics," said Joe Croft, co-founder of GUNNAR and EVP of Research Design & Development. "For the amount of technology and effort that goes into the creation and delivery of the content, it is a shame that the weakest link in any 3D system today is the eyewear used to view the final product. We are proud to announce our success in creating lenses of the highest optical quality to give a premium visual experience."

The glasses will start hitting later this year for $89 to $149 a pop. Glasses-free 3D, hopefully, will be hitting in a few more years. You do the math.

Packing dual high-definition speakers, a fan and a padded base, Logitech's Speaker Lapdesk N700 promises to deliver theater-quality audio to the one place you probably thought you didn't need it.

"The Logitech Speaker Lapdesk N700 helps transform your laptop into a private theater in the cozy confines of your lap," said Denis Pavillard, Logitech vice president of product marketing for laptop accessories.

Now you can enjoy thundering bass while playing World of Warcraft laying in bed surrounded by a halo of Cheetos and beer cans.

The $80 accessory hits the U.S. next month February and Europe in March, though I don't think there will be lines of people waiting to pick it up.

This is the HiCan bed, which takes the IKEA design of "put all the essentials on as few square feet as possible" to an amazing extreme. As a practical matter, it'd be amazing for a tiny studio in a crowded city, but probably do a number on your long-term posture. But to me it looks like it'll be someone's dream machine on the next episode of Cribs. According to its writeup:

A theater screen pulls down at the foot of the bed for viewing television or movies. An integrated personal computer system means you can work or masturbate to Internet porn surf the web in bed as well. Game consoles are built in for added entertainment value. Lights for reading and shades for sleeping are also fully integrated.

All this thing lacks is a built-in commode. And maybe a huge space-saver drawer full of Doritos alongside a guacamole pump. Get that, and I could see myself staying in this bed until I looked like Vladimir Harkonnen and Jabba the Hutt got sloppy drunk and made a baby.

That may explain the steep price. The Brick and Question Mark block extensions — in 1ft to 6ft configurations — go for just $20, but the actual USB drives that plug into the extension are $55 a pop. The mushroom, goomba and koopa drives are still for sale, but it looks like the Mario one is long-gone.

Get 'em while you can and hopefully before Nintendo finds out.

You can actually purchase this sucker, which weighs in at more than a pound and measures 4.5 by 3.5 by 3 inches (a whopper, in other words). But the Zypad WR1100 does include a GPS receiver, electronic compass, biometric fingerprint sensors, and a position detector that switches the thing off automatically whenever your arm hangs down by your side.

It does not, however, pick up Galaxy News or Enclave Radio. So while the Zypad may not be good for your cosplay outing, in case of actual nuclear holocaust, it will help you navigate the wastelands. Provided the GPS satellites are still in orbit and functioning.

In the short write up he says that he finds it "humbling that I listen to more music while playing Rock Band than I do on my iPod". The game's biggest draw, it seems, to Null is its ever expanding set list and diverse music selection.

Makes sense, that's probably why music games are having such an impact on music sales.

Null than turns his sites on the worst tech of 2008. On the list, Blu-ray, calling the technology "bafflingly, dog-slow."

Ouch.

It's not that PlayStation Home isn't worthy of the praise; it very well could be. After all, it is a fine service, and my time in the closed beta for the service has been relatively painless. It's just that there really isn't much to it right now. We don't know what the stores will be selling, what kind of sponsors will be popping up, or how stable it will run once all PlayStation 3 owners can access it. It's as if they've given the number 10 spot in their list to an idea rather than an actual product.

Who knows? Maybe we'll find out if the service really deserves the accolades in 10 days or so. Till then this just feels a bit too early.

I had no idea this was such a common problem that someone would create and sell this sort of thing. Then again, I live in California where it's always 60 degrees and fair outside. But really, I think whomever made this did so just so people would look like total idiots playing wireless controllers with wired hands.

A GameStop employee has sent us cell pics of the internal announcement for the coming Xbox 360 Pro price drop announcement. They also included pics of the shelf art all of which will go on display on July 13, the day before E3 kicks off with Microsoft's press conference.

So, while still not official, it seem pretty clear that come Sunday you'll be able to pick up an Xbox 360 Pro (aka Premium) for a penny shy of $300.

If true, I can't help but think that this means that Microsoft wanted to clear the decks of pricing news to make room for something more interesting, or at least they want more attention on, come their press conference. Motion controls? Minority-Report-like interface? Who knows.

Forbes points out that with a fairly powerful engine and the ability to do both motion and touchscreen, the iPhone could be a threat to Nintendo's lucrative handheld business. Of course the DS' staggering numbers will be the biggest opposition to Apple crushing Nintendo directly in some handheld-to-handheld combat, but even that could change over time. And keep in mind a slew of companies have announced games for the iPhone already, also Apple is giving away their SDK.

While I think that it's unlikely that the relatively inexpensive DS will be toppled by the expensive iPhone, I do think, hope actually, that it will shake some trees at Nintendo and perhaps get them to drop news of another, more advanced handheld in the coming year or so.

Make sure to stay tuned here on Monday for any iPhone game-related announcements that come out of Monday's WWDC.

The picture of DS Lite as the simple prevention of disasters goods that in the light/write substituting, you catch disaster information with the FM radio, you can use at the time of disaster of 10001.

I just love bad translations. This also makes me super curious on what a disaster of 10001 proportions can lead to. Kim Phu
