The PS3 Slim is out so get one. I wrote about the details in another post so read that for the details.The PS3 Slim only has  120 GB of memory at the cost of $299.99 , so get 1.

Funny Part:

The PS3 Original 80 GB cost $299.99 and the PS3 Slim 120 GB also is $299.99. Shouldn’t the PS3 80 GB cost 100 dollars cheaper $$$$$ ($199.99). Well ya but it isn’t so don’t buy a 80 GB waste of money you can get the 120 GB at the same price AND THE PS3 IS SLIMER so there get it.

Here is a trailer of Super Mario Galaxy 2.

Mac OS X Snow Leopard is here for the Mac. I’m not going to give the details about it but if you do want information e-mail me at the-hockey-expert@hotmail.com

Apple iPhone 3GS smartphones have reportedly been exploding around Europe, in what Apple is calling isolated incidents. According to some news outlets, in at least one case Apple has offered to reimburse an owner, with the agreement that the terms and existence of the settlement were to remain confidential.

Exploding iPhones?
Explosions are the latest problem attributed to the Apple iPhone 3GS, which since its June arrival has reportedly overheated to the point of discoloration, had issues with quickly draining batteries and suffered from overly delicate screens.

For now, the allegedly exploding iPhones seem isolated to Europe.

“Apple Inc. is investigating media reports that one or more of the company’s iPhones have exploded in Europe, a European Commission spokeswoman said on Tuesday,” Reuters reported Aug. 18.

The spokesperson, Helen Kearns, reportedly told those gathered at a news briefing that Apple is “trying to get more information on the specific details of those incidents, and they will do tests as necessary to investigate the possible cause.”

Apple, for its part, is calling the incidents isolated but has said it is looking into them.

“For the cases which have been reported in the media, Apple [is] trying to get more information on the details of the incidents and will do tests as necessary to investigate the possible cause,” Apple reportedly told the Commission in a statement, according to MacWorld.

In one incident, wrote Macworld, a French teenager claimed to have hurt his eye after his girlfriend’s iPhone made a hissing sound and then its glass touch-screen shattered.

A 47-year-old UK man said his daughter’s iPhone also hissed and then exploded. And in the Netherlands, an iPhone left in a car reportedly caused a fire that burned the vehicle’s seat.
SlashGear-running an image presumably of the burnt car seat—additionally reported that Apple has tried to keep chatter about these incidents to a minimum by giving refunds to the owners of the destroyed devices, so long as they keep the terms of the agreement confidential.

“[Apple] did offer the Liverpool owner a [$271] refund with the proviso that, in accepting it, those involved were to ‘agree that you will keep the terms and existence of this settlement agreement completely confidential,’ with the understanding that any breach of confidentiality ‘may result in Apple seeking injunctive relief, damages and legal costs against the defaulting persons or parties,’” wrote SlashGear, which went on to report that the owner did not accept the terms.

Scary.

“It took more than 7-months for KIRO 7 Consumer Investigator Amy Clancy to get her hands on documents concerning Apple’s iPods from the Consumer Product Safety Commission because Apple’s lawyers filed exemption after exemption. In the end, the CPSC released more than 800 pages which reveal, for the very first time, a comprehensive look that shows, on a number of occasions, iPods have suddenly burst into flames, started to smoke, and even burned their owners.”

One woman was burned on the chest while running when her iPod Shuffle, which was clipped to her shirt, overheated. The woman reportedly contacted Apple and was told her burn was “an isolated incident.” This is not, as KIRO 7 discovered, exactly true.

There will be a new PS3 in stores on September 1st. The new PS3  will be known as the PS3 Slim.The PS3 Slim is 32% thinner , 36% lighter and uses 34%  less energy then the original PS3.The Cool thing about it  is that it is only $299 for the 120 GB better then the 60 GB XBOX 360 selling at $299. BEAT  THAT  MICROSOFT   !!

More affordable $299 price; slimmer, more compact design with quieter operation; all games in high-definition; easy-to-use interface; doubles as a Blu-ray and upscaling DVD player; built-in Wi-Fi; 120GB hard drive; HDMI output with 1080p support; no external power supply; built-in Web browser; free online gaming service

The bad: Lacks backward support for PS2 games; no infrared port means non-Bluetooth universal remotes aren’t compatible; online gaming, media, and commerce options still aren’t as fully developed as Xbox Live, though they’re getting better.

The bottom line: With a smaller design, more energy-efficient operation, lower price tag, and built-in Blu-ray and multimedia capabilities, the PS3 Slim delivers a compelling package for an affordable price.
