NEC's Pink Laptop with Crystals

It's a Hello Kitty laptop and not for kids. You'd think it was something for the celebrities with this giant laptop with Swarovski crystals all over the top of it. This La Vie G Hello Kitty model sells at $1,650. They are hoping to get the interest of the females with this laptop.

This is definitely one I'd be passing up, I like the plain grey models. I can do without all that fancy stuff on the outside of it, as long as it runs fast and is up-to-date.

2 New Games for Playstation3

Sony will be releasing two new games for the playstation 3 on June 22nd, and on the 29th. If these games seem a bit familiar they are, they've taken some classics and added a bit more to them to make them more modern. But if you are a true gamer you'll already know the story behind the game and may even be able to beat it right away. Let's see if you've learned from history.

The Piyotama will be the first to be released on June 22nd. The Piyotama has a tiny chick that makes the sound, Piyo whenever it clucks and tama is for ball. This game has a bunch of colored balls load on the screen, try getting them to match (at least four in a row) and get the balls to hatch.

On the 29th the Star Strike HD will be showing up in stores. This game may also be known in the US as "Super Stardust HD." The basic idea is you (the player) are flying around in a rocket shooting anything that can hurt your planet. There will be over 10,000 things to shoot at and lots of collisions. This is sure to keep you entertained for a couple of hours.

Rumor has it, you must have the phone for 2 years. So ya better make sure ya like this plan. To date, Apple has already received over one million queries, granted this doesn't mean they've made that many sales. We shall see how popular they become once they are out, my guess is it might be just a tad bit expensive for the average joe. Will you be buying one?
