It hasn’t been around long but already the 120GB PS3 Slim is looking to be something of a historical relic. From the end of this month, Sony of Japan will be replacing the 120GB models – already going out for open pricing for retailers as of today in order to clear shelves – with 160GB and – wait for it – 320GB...

It’s been about a year since we first saw the weird little black box appear in the Microsoft press conference in 2009. So a year later we expect to see a whole host of changes to Project Natal, the first of which seems to be a rename. Yes, Project Natal has been newly labelled Kinect (pronounced ‘connect‘). This comes just in time for...

Now that you’ve finally saved up the money for that fantastic HDTV you’ve been ogling for the last two years, the latest technology turns around and gives you the middle finger before moving (once more) out of reach. Yep, that’s right. What you need is a 3D TV! Preferably by June 10th as the first PSN 3D titles go live. “On June 10th...
