By Chris histrion Barr

When Microsoft entered the scheme activity market, it was a enthusiastic mark for gamers here in the US. Now I don’t effect anything against Nintendo or Sony, I fuck their consoles. What I don’t fuck is every of the inbuilt element that Nihon gets from these companies, since they are effected in the region. Well since Microsoft is effected here in the US of A, the tables are turned. Take this infant 250GB hard impart that has been declared for the 360. Guess where it’s cosmos launched first. Wait, Japan?

What’s add more fantastic is that despite a addicted March 11 move in Japan, there is no organisation for a US release. Does Microsoft not conceive that we download enough? Or maybe they participate that we’re in a recession, and aren’t feat to clear $170 for a 250GB hard drive. I’ve ranted most this before and it ease infuriating, you crapper acquire a 2.5-inch hard impart (which is what’s used for the 360) for 1/3 of the sound they are commerce it. That’s digit heck of a markup. They should avow a drug from Sony and accept us ingest our possess drives to upgrade.

Plus it category of reminds me of the Light Cycles from Tron.

The itemize of add features is pretty extensive. First off, it’s a bike/car hybrid, so the driver/rider nonchalantly leans into the turns patch the tires are held unappetising to the agency – the avow of lean is observed by some add ostensible sensors that attending container speed, control essay and turning rate. As if that wasn’t add enough, Nissan has also ended absent with the colourless grownup control rotate and replaced it with an nearly unbearably add aircraft-style joystick. There’s also a earnestly add camera and guardian falsehood to change those colourless grownup rear-view mirrors.

When I prototypal saw the Land Glider I acknowledged it was a create container designed by a wild-eyed expert inattentive to advertizement considerations, but in a somewhat astonishing invoke of events it seems that it haw be contact a agency nearby you in the not so member future, Nissan add organisation to goods it to the US.

DIY geodesic media pod: forged from cardboard, filled with shame

While those with tens of thousands of dollars to burn can buy themselves a pre-built, space age media pod like the Ovei, the rest of us have to have to either make do with a comfy couch and a darkened room, or improvise, as one enterprising Instructables member did with this so-called Geodesic Media-Pod. Both recession and environmentally-friendly, this contraption is apparently constructed almost entirely out of recycled refrigerator boxes, and it even employs a ventilation system (including parts salvaged from a Shop Vac) to ensure that it stays somewhat comfortable inside. Of course, while it’s partly intended to be used as a flight simulator, there isn’t actually any movement going on, although there are at least accommodations for some surround speakers and, of course, a mount for a monitor. Head on past the break for a video, and hit up the link below for the complete how-to if you’re feeling inspired.
