The Ultimate Medival Wastebasket

Topic:

Trashcans are usually boring devices that don’t add interest or style to the room they are in. If you want something a bit more interesting than a plastic can to throw your old coke cans and Doritos bags into this is the trash can for you.

This thing reminds me of "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" for some reason, too bad when you open the lid it doesn’t say “What are your going to do, bleed on me” or some such nonsense from the flick. Read more

Ultimate Ears Super.fi 5 Pro Review

Topic:

Digital Trends reviews the Ultimate Ears Super.fi 5 Pro headphones.

Quote from the review:
"Nearly every aspect of the listening experience exceeded our expectations. Highs, mids, and lows are balanced and clear. Bass is tight, but still has boom without sounding muddy, and highs are bright, but not screeching. Overall, the general tone of the Super.fi 5 Pros was energetic and accurate.
The sound stage was satisfactorily wide and distant, without showing separation or the feeling of far-off sounds. The sound wasn’t harsh or warm, but somewhere in between. Spatial cues were somewhat limited, since canalphones in general lack the ability to convey 3D virtualization accurately. "

GameStop Offers the Truly Ultimate Xbox 360 Bundle

Topic:

Yesterday EBGames announced their Xbox 360 bundles for pre-order. GameStop announced 4 Xbox 360 bundles, including the Xbox 360 Ultimate Bundle for $1,199.83!

So this is how GameStop defines the Xbox 360 Ultimate Bundle:
Xbox 360 sytem, 11 games (Perfect Dark Collector's Edition, Project Gotham Racing 3, Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Dead or Alive 4, Call of Duty 2, GUN, Quake 4, Tony Hawk's American Wasteland, Condemned, Madden NFL 06 and Kameo), Xbox 360 Wireless Controller, Xbox 360 Play and Charge Kit, Xbox 360 Rechargeable Battery, Xbox Live 12 Month Card and 1 year Product Replacement Plan.

As if $1,199.83 is not high enough, GameStop charges an additional $9.99 for shipping.
EBGames only bundles 4 games to its Xbox 360 Ultimate Bundle. The price is also lower of course with $699.92 (They also charge $10 for shipping). I wonder if those two retailers get into an issue offering a Xbox 360 bundle with the same name. GameStop definitely aims way higher with their pricing strategy. Their Core Bundle starts where EBGames' Ultimate Bundle sells for. Read more
