Halo: Reach gets a $150 Legendary Edition set
I’ll be honest, when Halo 3 came out I shelled out the money for the Legendary Edition and Master Chief’s cat helmet. I even followed the Kotaku guide on how to wear the thing too. Well, Bungie just revealed their latest money making machination, Halo: Reach’s Legendary Edition, which comes at a staggering $150 price tag.
For that much money what’ll you get? How about a 10 pound/ 10” MacFarland designed figure, a UNSC-themed box, game disc within an ONI box, Limited Edition in game Elite and Spartan Armor, and a journal detailing the secrets of the in-game universe.

Gizmodo not Rolling in Money off iPhone 4G exclusive
Pictured above is Brian Lam, Gizmodo’s Editorial Director, and in front of him appears to be a mountain of cash. Now, this is just a photoshop representation of what Digital Inspiration is estimating Gizmodo made on all the traffic that was directed their way with their exclusive look at the prototype iPhone 4G, but the very real figure is somewhere around the $150,000 mark. Yeah, that’s a lot of green! But according to Gawker Media’s owner, Nick Denton, Gizmodo hasn’t made as much as a penny so far, but rather has only put them in the hole:
“There were no immediate revenue benefits whatsoever - in fact, only costs.”
And that’s not to mention the possible legal suit Apple might take against Gawker over the purchase of the prototype. Denton mentions that this could be the biggest tech scoop in history, but it could realistically come back to bite them in a big way if Steve Jobs gets angry… and you don’t want to see him angry — Deal with it!

Dell wisps into Android with the "Smoke"
Name one thing that Android devices have continually missed out on? If you guessed “portrait QWERTY candybar” then you’d be right. Well, no longer does Google’s flagship mobile OS miss out on the fun; brought to you by Dell we’re graced with the “Smoke” (Note: this is currently nothing more than an internal codename). Running Google’s latest iteration of Android (Froyo) this stunningly designed handset rocks out to a 2.8-inch QVGA display (which surprisingly looks more like a WVGA display, but you know, no biggie), Qualcomm’s next generation MSM 72300 processor clocked at 800MHz, 5-Megapixel autofocus camera, 14.4Mbps HSPA, microSD expansion (up to 32GBs), WiFi, Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR and dual-mic noise cancelling technology. Impressive no? Oh yeah, we forgot to mention that its all housed in a 12mm thick package.
