After more than a year of testing and tweaking, Sony’s finally ready to release Home to the PS3 community. For anyone that’s been hiding under a rock, Home’s a 3D virtual on-line community for your PS3 that reminds us alot of SecondLife.

For $130, these bluetooth headphones might end up on our Christmas lists.  Or will they?  They were unveiled a while back, and have now hit the market for $130.  The price is pretty steep for us, considering times are exremely tough.

The Sony DR-BT160AS Bluetooth Active Style Headphones are promising streaming stereo A2DP audio while packing a rechargeable lithium ion battery and a microphone for calls.  Pretty cool, don’t you think?  They seem like the perfect headphones to go with COD5.

Let us know what you think

Buy It: $130

Yes, it’s really gotten that bad.  The NYSE’s downgraded the hell out of CC and their credit lines are diminishing.  Sony’s completely pulled the plug because they don’t think that Circuit City’s going to be able to repay their current credit line.

Deliveries to nationwide Circuit City distribution centers were stopped in transit and ordered to return to Sony “among worries that Circuit City couldn’t pay for the shipments.”

Now that’s very unfortunate.  Black Friday’s coming a little early this year at your local CC.

Sony says they won’t be dropping the price for the PS3 anytime soon, but retailers are realizing that in order to compete with the I’m-desperate-please-buy-me price of the XBOX 360 these days, they have to drop the price.  Dell’s making moves by dropping the price of the 80GB PS3 to $339 with a coupon code.  Unfortunately for some, the coupon code is good for only 3,000 uses.

Head to the Dell.com and type in the code “PWXNZVNDRWWX1P” at checkout.

Thanks Gizmodo!

Sony just finished showing off a new technology called “PSP Plus” that lets players connect their PSP with their PS3 so that they can use the PS3 wireless controllers while playing games on their PSP.  The rumble of the DualShock 3 will also be supported, so it’s definitely something we’re looking forward to.

Currently, Resistance Retribution is the only game supporting PSP Plus but we’re sure that’ll change very soon.

Thanks joystiq!

With Quantum of Solace coming out November 14th, Sony’s relationship with 007 is going to be paying dividends.

A limited edition licensed 007 products including a VAIO(R) notebook computer, a Reader Digital Book and Micro Vault(TM) USB storage media which will all be available in U.S. Sony Style retail stores and online at sonystyle.com.

An exclusive, limited edition VAIO TT notebook comes emblazoned with a 007 logo on the palm rest and a matching leather protection case. Only 100 units will be available and each unit will bear a serialized number.

The Special Edition Bond bundle for the Reader Digital Book features an embossed cover with a 007 logo and coupon codes for free downloads from the Sony eBook Store of Ian Fleming’s novels Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace.

An exclusive 007 USB Micro Vault, in 8 or 16GB capacities, comes pre- loaded with the Quantum of Solace movie trailer and bonus contents.

Last week, the rumor mill was filled with talks about a possible “TT” model releasing that would replace the current TZ series.  Well, Sony’s VAIO Adviser tool leaked out the specs and we’re pleased to see what Sony’s cooked up.

The top-of-the-line VGN-TT190UBX packs a punch in that 11.1-inch frame.  It’s got a 1.4 GHz SU9400 Core 2 Duo, 4GB of RAM, a Blu-ray burner, HDMI out and 128GBx2 RAID SSD storage.  With all those goods weighing in at an anorexic 2.87 pounds, we can’t wait to upgrade our TZs to the new king of the slim notebooks.

We personally like the TZ series more than the MacBook Air and those other slim 13″ notebooks.  The TZ is was the definition of portable and with the upgraded TT series coming soon, we honestly can’t wait.

There aren’t any prices, or pictures, or a release date, but we’re keeping our eyes and ears ready.

We heard about Sony accidentally releasing Life with Playstation earlier.  Apparently, now the application is set to launch just hours later and is available for free.

Live Channel will deliver worldwide news and information such as weather and live camera images from 60 cities around the globe — more interactive content will be delivered in time.

PS3 users can easily join Life with PlayStation by simply clicking the Folding@home*1 icon on the network column of XMB(TM) (XrossMediaBar) that will update to Life with PlayStation.
