Joyswag: Custom 'Comic Jumper' Xbox 360 [update] (Joystiq)

Sep 24th 2010 2:35AM The Unicorn from Peggle.

=P LOL

Kinect priced at GameStop: $149, $399 for Elite bundle (Engadget)

Jun 14th 2010 4:28PM It is working via search, but here is a direct link to the KINECT by itself. http://bit.ly/cTRGWr

Microsoft Kinect for Xbox 360 launches on November 4 (Engadget)

Jun 14th 2010 4:22PM @Tes Yes, the $49.95 price point is unrealistic, but would drive console and game sales (remember, console gaming is razors and blades.)

$100 isn't. From a hardware perspective, KINECT is an array mic, infrared xmitter/receiver, webcam and motor. If you get much higher than that, you are going to not have mass appeal as you are already dealing with a $200-$300 console investment plus games.

Unfortunately it looks like it will be $149.95 =/

Blockbuster plans to part with 960 retail stores by end of 2010 (Engadget)

Sep 16th 2009 4:27AM SystemMax 'owns' CircuitCity, CompUSA and TigerDirect, with the last 2 having B&M stores as well.

They sell products under the Systemax™ and Ultra™ brands. In Europe, they are known as MISCO.

And if that wasn't enough, they also own InfoTel USA distributors, ComputerTV (com.puter.tv), Global Computer Supplies / Global Government & Education., SYX Distribution, and SYX Services. In Europe, they are known as MISCO. Also Global Industrial Equipment and Nexel Industries

So, while the original CompUSA (formerly known as SoftWarehouse before the original Softwarehouse sued them) is gone, as is Circuit City, the names live on.

This is kinda like what Packard Bell did in the 80s. Bought a name that had some branding behind it (heck, everyone in the 60s owned at least one PB radio) and used the brand to create familiarity.

While BlockBuster is THE name in B&M video stores, for via mail NetFlix is still the leader, and for the most part RedBox has become the name for kiosks (mainly because of their ownership by CoinStar) With 7-Eleven looking to possibly expand their RedBox installations I think ti will create a different marketplace in the B&M world. If BlockBuster can gain that level of kiosk installations it could change the marketplace, but then again, it is really all controlled by the studios.

iPhone 3GS totally capable of 1080p video playback (Engadget)

Now, who cares? The Xbox360 is a better console from the hardware specs than the Wii, but the Wii does sell like crazy.

There is room for more than one 'brand' of media player.
