Amazon has the DJ Hero Game with Turntable for a rock bottom price.  It’s $119.99 & #8211; $35.04 instant savings + free shipping = $84.95 shipped!  How this bundle got so cheap so quick is beyo nd me.   Either it’s selling like gang busters and Activision wants to strike while the iron is hot, or vendors have significant lead way when it comes to the advertised price – I’m going with the latter.  I don’t know how long this deal will last so I suggest you buy now and return later, t hat is assuming you don’t like it.

Nintendo’s been doing a bit of digging and it tur ns out it’s already won the console wars. If we’re only talking about the ladies, that is. A whopping 80% of American female primary gamers (the person who primarily uses the co nsole rather than the occasional dabblers) do their thing on the Wii, which we see as a clear indication to the graphics-obsessed Xbox 360 and PS3 developers that women prefer their gam es to be fun to play, rather than just look at. Maybe if we also stopped dressing female characters in swimsuits, they’d find non-Wii games relatable too — that’s just a guess though, probably wrong.

We were as surprised as anyone when the USAF threw down the cash for 300-odd PlayStation 3s back in March of last year, but what’s more shocking is that it’s now back for more — seven ti mes more, in f act. Already employi ng its PS3 cluster for research into high-def video processing, the Air Force Research Lab wants to expand its capabilities significantly and it seems that Sony’s Cell processor is still its weapon of choice. We would use this opportunity to make a few jibes about lazy engineers upgrading their setups in time for Modern Warfare 2, but we ‘re better than that. We’ll also totally avoi d noting that the US government’s skimping on costs now is leading it to commit to an instruction set tailored specifically to the Cell processor, which contrary to the latest Xeons — pricier though they may be — is not guaranteed to keep updating in pace with the USAF’s needs. Those are things we’ll leave for someone who isn’t afraid of death lasers and autonomous attack drones to say.
