Sony PSP Price cut in the US

Sony PSP White
The US are getting a good deal this time around with the price cut of the Sony PSP. The core PSP pack will be dropping in price from $199.99 down to $169.99 which is around 85 pounds for us in the UK. The core pack includes the PSP, battery and power adapter. In the UK it still costs 150 pounds which is a bit crazy if you ask me with it being almost 2 years old in the UK.

A Sony rep was asked if the price cuts would come to the UK and Europe but they responded that they have no announcements at the moment.

Transcend 16GB Express Card

Transcend Express Card
If you would like 16Gb of extra memory for your Vista PC in either drive space or RAM then you can give this Transcend 16GB Express Card a test drive. Unfortunatly the steep costs puts the price at 1000 Euros which is probably not worth bothering with at the moment. But as memory prices are always coming down then it should be more affordable in the not too distant future.

IBM Fast Chip – HD Movies in a Second

IBM Fast Chip
IBM have created a chip that can shift 160GB of data per second. The little chip is just 3.25 x 5.25 mm in size. This is 8 times faster then the current optical components available today. In English this means that a whole HD movie could be downloaded in less then 1 second rather then 30+ minutes that it takes now. That is a huge difference. This technology could have an amazing impact on communications of the future allowing far greater bandwidths, on demand TV, films and more.

The reason this chip was created was due to the amount of data constantly growing. Having this chip would make the use of optical signals more practical.

As well as being for communications between 2 locations, this technology could be used between devices in your home allowing for instant access to data on another device in your home. This would make everything more effective and shifting large amounts of data around far more practical.

Full technical details can be found on this press release.

Remote locking on cars has been around for years. However, I have not seen it before for a house. This device allows you to unlock your house just like you would your car, via remote control. It is fully programmable and allows up to 19 keys to be stored in its memory bank.

Priced at $300 it might be a little steep, but it does cut down a lot of space and allow you to lock your doors from a 50 meter range. All you now need to do is program the bedroom lights to blink 3 times and your burglar alarm to chirp every time you leave for the day.

8-Bit Tie

8-Bit Tie
ThinkGeek have created the 8-Bit Tie which is made from 100% silk and is clip on. You can have this 8-Bit tie custom designed just for you. If you are not sure what an 8-Bit tie is then think back many years, or ask your father, and remember what games used to look like on the NES and Sega Mastersystem which were both 8-bit consoles. Thinking back you will remember many platform games, with very blocky graphics. This is what inspired an 8-Bit tie.

All you need now is an 8-Bit haircut to match and you will be good to go.

Infrant ReadyNAS NV – Full Backup Solution

NAS
Data storage has become more needed in each of our lives with digital cameras being used daily, music being downloaded, videos being watched and much more. The problem you will come across one day is that the harddrive of your computer which you store this data on will more then likely crash. If you are like me then you probably do not have backups of the data and still know inside that it would suck to loose all those precious photo memories.

The Infrant ReadyNAS NV+ is a full backup solution allowing you to store data on its drives. It has 3 USB ports, 4 x hot swap SATA drive bays. It comes in 2 configs. Either empty allowing you to purchase the discs or it comes full with 2Tb of storage available in RAID format. It connects to your home network via a gigabit ethernet port and can be used to store all your files on it.

With it having RAID functionality, this means that should a drive break down, then you just replace it with a new drive and no data is lost. This is due to the way a RAID system works. RAID puts files on more then 1 disk so that in the event of failure a new drive just gets repopulated with the files stored in a second location.
