Editorial - How was my E3 Experience?
Ah E3 2010, I will have fond memories of you for bringing back my love of video games. It’s true that games have become more complex, more visual stunning, and more mature, but for me these past couple of years have been kinda ehhh since there hasn’t been that much stuff out that’s seriously wow’d me in the way games from 10 years ago did. So this year I was just spellbound by all the nods to gaming legends of old; whether it was the new Rayman, NBA Jam, Twisted Metal, or Kid Icarus, it all was what the doctor had ordered. Because seriously, there’s only so much Halo, Killzone, and Gears you can stuff down our throat until it gets a bit old.
So here’s my story, my experience, my retelling of E3 2010.

“One iPhone 4 demonstrated the issue everytime it was held in our left hand (as a right-handed person is apt to do) so that our palm was essentially bridging the two antennas” — Richard Lai, Engadget
If you cover the bottom left hand corner of the iPhone, you loose signal, but it seems that the “Bumper Case” fixes it by separating your hand from touching the metal - Read more

Microsoft - "All Kinect Prices Are Placeholders"
There’s been a lot of debate between analysts and gamers alike on just what the heck kinda price point Microsoft’s Kinect will be launching at. We’ve heard numbers as low as $50 all the way to as high as $200 be thrown around, but the sweet spot we’ve all grown comfy with is Amazon’s current listed price of $150. Not only that but it also appears that Microsoft’s own online store has gotten warm to that price as well, but not so fast - that may not be the final price tag.
Microsoft speaks out on the subject after the break!
