Panasonic Launches 3D TVs This Week - Gear News at IGN

Panasonic Launches 3D TVs This Week - Gear News at IGN

Speaking of 3D TVs, March 10, we'll be seeing Panasonic's launch of the 50" VT25 3D plasma TV. The bundle which includes LCD active-shutter glasses and a Blu-ray player will run at $3000. However, the TV on its own will cost $25000. But of course, more affordable step-down versions will be arriving afterwards as well. Although, the price is still expensive, I thought the cost would be around $10,000. So, are you ready for 3D TV?

Why the PS3 is the Best Blu-ray Player - Gear Feature at IGN

Why the PS3 is the Best Blu-ray Player - Gear Feature at IGN

Blu Ray discs have definitely replaced DVDs for the HD era. What is interesting is a few years ago, Blu-ray was in competition with HD-DVD. Obviously, Blu-ray won the competition. As you all know, Playstation 3 helped push the success of Blu-ray technology. This game console not only has become affordable for consumers but they get more than what they pay for. As Blu-ray software continues to grow and encompass new advanced features, so will the PS3. Because of the Netflix instant movie streaming software, PS3 shows it is capable of adopting streaming media services. In regards to the price, PS3 initial launch was priced as high as $599. Yea that made any consumer turn away from buying it. Now, the PS3 is priced at $399, making it hard for consumers to turn away from it.

IMVU

You know, at first I didnt think much about IMVU. Yea I was obviously going to join for the sake of class but I didnt think it would be anything impressive. Boy was I wrong. I was amazed how much fun I had with my classmates last week. It was fun messing around with everyone and the different environments thats available. I made time on my own this past weekend to explore the site but it wasnt the same exploring IMVU with my classmates. Till next time...

Avatar

Visually breathtaking. Mindblowing. Epic. That is what comes to mind when I think of Avatar. Having seen it 3 times on IMAX 3D, it still felt fresh. Not to mention it sank Titanic in the box office officially marked as the biggest grossing movie in film history. And of course, Avatar 2 is in pre-production. A lot of people complain that the story is cliche. Borrows the ideas from Dances with The Wolfs, Pocahantes, etc. But what is not acknowledged is the direction James Cameron gave to this epic film. But why complain abt the story? The concept is something we all have seen before but dont we all enjoy watching a good movie that centers around romance filled with action and adventure? I think so. We all get lost in that realm of fantasy but its the way the story is delivered that makes it refreshing. All in all, Avatar is a real treat and I can't wait to see how it looks on blu ray 3D.
