China’s alternative to Blu-ray finally has some hardware to show off, with players from TCL and Shinco making their debut this week. Priced at less than 2,000 yuan ($292) they’re reportedly 40% cheaper than the competition, and while the promised support from Warner Bros. has yet to materialize it plans to release 100 movies on the CBHD format by the end of the year. That’s about all the machine translation could help us make out beyond the usual promise of lower licensing fees for Chinese manufacturers, but a better look at the latest (and by far most legit, although that’s not saying much) Blu-ray fighter is beyond the read link.

Unimpressed by DXG’s lineup of value-priced but generally underwhelming video recording options? Maybe a few trendy pattern appliques will change your mind. The company’s apparently gone down to Canal Street, grabbed a few “discount” handbags, and turned them into gaudy camcorders that promise 720p capture at 30fps. They’re set to retail for a mere $129, and while the company’s pledging they’ll be available at stores like Radio Shack and Walmart later this summer, we’re thinking there are probably a few trademark attorneys out there with a thing or two to say about that.

According to a source at Nintendo (the source being Nintendo’s website) the company will include its long-awaited, not-yet-duplicated Wii MotionPlus with the upcoming Wii Sports Resort collection, to be bandied about at E3 this June. The sequel to the Wii Sports promises an even greater sense of submersion for games with titles like Sword Play, Power Cruising, and Disc Dog. Disc Dog! According to Tech Radar, the game — and the device — will be out in Japan in June, and will then go on to see the light of day in the rest of the world sometime in July. Pricing and specific release dates have yet to be announced, but you’ll know as soon as we do — promise.

While Fisker Automotive isn’t making too much of a stir at the New York Auto Show this week, it is scheming to deliver a vehicle that will purportedly compete with Chevrolet’s Volt and Tesla’s Model S. ‘Course, it should probably look to get its Karma onto US streets before it starts looking too far ahead, but you won’t find us kvetching about the promise of a lower cost plug-in hybrid. Company spokesman Russell Datz insinuated that the outfit was jonesing to release a model that would be priced somewhere below its Karma ($87,900) and above the Volt (around $40,000) and Model S (somewhere in the $50,000s), though it wasn’t close enough to production to hit the show floor of any expos in 2009. Oh, what a tease.

Yeah, you’ve already seen MSI’s X-Slim X340 — which was heavily detailed earlier this morning — slip out of a white interoffice envelope, but we promise that this video is both more informative and less annoying to the ears. ‘Course, it all makes much more sense if you’re a native speaker of German, but even if you have absolutely no clue what’s being said, we’re sure you’ll dig the visuals. Per usual, the play button is just past the break.
