How Fast Can You Whip it Out?

Not every gadget is electronic.
When you are a guy, you know that when it’s time to “Whip it out” speed is of the essence. No one want to be too late in getting it out!

Now it looks like we have a new addition to our Christmas list, sorry if it’s not what you thought it was. :)

They promote it as the best knife you’ll ever have, but I just think it’s cool!
You can find it here, and no, we do not have any affiliation with them and are not making anything from promoting it.

Is Microsoft Dumping the 360 for Newer Models?

Microsoft just announce in a the price drop for 360 hardware. As of today Microsoft the Premium will fall $50 to $350, the Core will fall $20 to $280, and the Elite will see a $30 price reduction to an even $450.

Now there is rumor that HDMI will probably be included in all boxes. A new version of the Core and Premium hardware is supposed to be released late this month or September and will include an HDMI port.

It’s also expected that this new hardware will feature the 65nm process for the CPU and quieter DVD drives.

The new hardware will ship in boxes very similar to what we saw on store shelves now, but there will be a small “call out” on the box so you know you’re getting a system with the HDMI connection.
