Blu-Ray - The Ultimate Matrix Collection with Nebuchadnezzar

October 16th 2008 00:30

Boy oh boy are Matrix fans gonna love this!

To celebrate the Japanese release of the Matrix trilogy on Blu-ray, Warner Brothers has created a special limited edition collection featuring a 2-foot, exquisitely detailed model of the Nebuchadnezzar - the ship from the movies - which houses 7 discs.

The 7 discs are: The Matrix trilogy and The Animatrix (Blu-Ray) plus 3 additional DVDs featuring the ‘making-of’ documentaries. Seriously, I don't even care about the discs. How bloody cool is the Nebuchadnezzar? If only if they sold separately...

Anyway, appropriately dubbed the "Ultimate Matrix Collection", Japanese fans will be able to get their hands on limited quantities when it goes on sale on December 17 (just in time for X'mas, eh?) for about US$375.

Expensive? Hell yeah! But there's no stopping it from selling like hotcakes. Mark my words. [ohgizmo.com]

Sega adds Hamster to Dream Pet Series

August 4th 2008 06:26

At first glance, you might think that this post belongs on Pet Lover more than Gear Lover but you're wrong - this is actually an animal robot.

Created by Sega Toys, the "Dream Hamster" is the latest addition to the company's dream pet series of robotic animals to be released on August 8 priced at 1,260 yen (AU$12).

While it's not the real thing, it does have its benefits such as not having to clean hamster poo amongst other things plus it will also 'interact' with you when the switch located on its abdomen is pressed, making some cute and specific movements that mimics a real hamster.

Measuring 55 × 55 × 90mm (width x depth × height), the "Dream Hamster" fits comfortably in the palm of your hand and runs on four alkaline batteries. The rest of the Dream pet series features the "Dream Cat" and "Dream Chick". [segatoys.co.jp]

Nintendo Wii2 on the way and it maybe Mind Controlled

August 1st 2008 03:48

Nintendo Wii 2 in 2010?

Could it be true?

As Nintendo’s stocks go through the roof and the Wii and DS continue to sell faster than Sonic the hedgehog at full blast this week comes confirmation that rather than relax with success the Wii 2 is currently in development.

A possible Wii 2 remote

Saturo Iwata, the President of Nintendo spoke to Forbes stating that the company is “always preparing for the next hardware” but that ultimately, it’s the games and the experience that will sell a console.

“The hardware is a kind of box that consumers reluctantly buy in order to play our games,” he said. Adding that the next-gen Wii is still very much “under development.”

“It’s natural for the current customer to expect Nintendo is going to once again do something different,” he said. “If the people are expecting so many different things from Nintendo, it’s going to be difficult for us to go beyond that expectation again.”

Speculation is already amping up that “something different” may include Nintendo embracing the newly tested Neural Headset Technology effectively making the Wii 2 the first mind controlled gaming platform.

T3 magazine even ran a feature story this month exploring the possibilities of such radical technology being put on the fast track through Research and Development. The images on this page are from that latest issue of T3.

Radio-controlled Flying Cockroach

April 3rd 2008 22:07

Cockroaches are nasty little critters that gives a lot of people the creeps with their shiny exoskeletons giving off a false impression of sliminess. They dart around like they're on steroids and have a tendency to run and hide rather well just when you're about to squat them

Disco Ball: Underwater Light Show

March 26th 2008 07:45

Want to impress your mates at your pool party? Usually, a big pool, a large keg filled with booze and a bevy of lovely ladies would be enough to do the trick but what if you wanted to go a little further and really your mates something to remember? A disco theme perhaps
