D-Box @ Home is a Rich Gamer’s Dream
Posted by HCG Paco | Filed under Hardware, Previews, The Shit to Get
Right now, only a few elite gamers will be able to afford the D-Box Home Gamer but those lucky bastards are going to experience gaming at a whole new level. How incredible must it be to sit in these chairs and play Grid, (easily the best game on the list to try this out with IMHO). Feeling the rumble and the bouncing must be an experience when played with the right game. Sadly it is PC only right now. However if they tapped into a larger console market they may find an undiscovered audience. I would love to play Forza III with a 3 LCD wrap around setup.

The site needs a UX overhaul and the information is sparce. I still can’t find out if the same D-Box gaming system can be used as the D-Box home theater version. It seems like a no brainer, but I couldn’t find confirmation of that. Regardless, the video had me sold. If you can afford the D-Box GPH-120 of $2999, more power to you. It must be a hell of a ride.
Full list of titles after the jump.

World of Warcraft Mouse - YOU Are That Which Has No Life
Posted by HCG Dreadsorrow | Filed under Hardware, Rants
If the special WoW keyboard just isn’t enough to make you feel superior to all other level 80 characters that are exactly like you because the players behind them also have no life whatsoever and raid incessantly for that one set of epics that is .00000001% more uber than the rest, now you have something else to waste your money on.
From SteelSeries comes the mouse officially licensed by Blizzard for World of Warcraft. Instead of just making do with a regular pointing device, soon you will be able to waste $100 on a mouse that seems to be designed to play one game and little else.

The Classic Joystick - There’s Nothing Quite Like It.
Posted by HCG Dreadsorrow | Filed under Hardware, News, The Shit to Get
Back in the days when I first started to play Dungeons and Dragons, there was only one thing that could pry me away from the rulebooks that I had already memorized by the time I turned 12. That was the Atari 2600 hooked to the TV in the gameroom of my parents’ house. I played that thing so much that I wore out many joysticks just like the one above here. Luckily they were only a few dollars at the local Hills department store.
But when your only source of income is a paper route, and not a very lucrative one at that, every dollar counts. So I got to be pretty good at tearing apart the iconic joystick and effecting repairs. Yes, the joystick and I were close friends a long time ago.

Great PSP Dock Deal @ Stootsi.com
Posted by HCG Paco | Filed under Hardware, The Shit to Get
I am in no way a huge PSP fan. The only times I think about playing it are when I am either on a plane or when I am waiting to get on a plane. (Castlevania Chronicles, FTW) But if you are looking for some non-game related reasons to use it like playing movies or music while working, the Psyclone Nodus Sound Dock PSC99 Sony PSP Speaker System or (PNSD-PSC99-SPSPSS, for short) is a great looking dock for $10. Hurry, Stootsi is like Woot, so in 10 hours a deal will take its place.
Update:: This is not PNSD-PSC99-SPSPSS.
