Not the final look of Natal

Not the final look of Natal

[Update] Microsoft has come back and confirmed that Syed Bilal Tariq is not working for Microsoft, and does not represent them, he is just a vendor. On the below mentioned video, Syed also confirmed that Halo 3 is coming to PC.

GamerTag Radio interviewed the Marketing Manager at Microsoft Saudi Arabia, Syed Bilal Tariq. Syed was asked when would Natal be available in Saudi Arabia, and he confirmed that the device would be launched in Saudi Arabia on the same day as the rest of the world! Now we hope Microsoft Dubai would learn from Syed and start sharing worthy information, instead of the silly auto reply – we will check with UK and come back to you!

PS3 Remote Play lands on Vaio P فايو بي يتحكم في ‘بلاي ستيشن 3‘

The new Sony Vaio P (P11S1E) ultraportable netbook will also be the first portable to bring PS3 Remote Play to it. As long as you own a PS3 and are running v3.30 firmware you can access PS3 content and recorded programs onto your Vaio P. Among many included features, the Vaio P puts a small touchpad to the right of the display, and mouse buttons on the left side which make it easy to use the Vaio P when holding it with two hands. Vaio P also features built-in GPS, digital compass and accelerometer. So now a gentle shake will allow you to ‘flick’ through pictures, while the screen will also auto-rotate when looking to read documents in portrait mode, reminding us of the one and only iPhone!

3DS is Nintendo’s biggest handheld platform ثري دي اس، أكبر جهاز لعب محمول من ننتيندو

“We have ideas of what we want to bring to the consumer that we can’t do with the current [DS model]“, said Reggie Fils-Aime, Nintendo of America President in an interview with Bloomberg. “The Nintendo 3DS for us is our next handheld platform.” Fils-Aime likened the 3DS’s debut to when Nintendo transitioned from the Game Boy to the DS. Since its introduction in November 2004, Nintendo’s DS sales have exceeded 125 million, according to Nintendo’s Web site. Game Boy, the company’s first handheld platform, sold more than 200 million units since the first model went on sale in 1989.

Could this be the new DS? هل يكون هذا هو دي اس الجديد

Kotaku has a post about some Japanese blog called Munch Blog, dedicated to anime, manga, videogames, and movies. The Japanese author posted some pictures to what he claims to be the upcoming Nintendo DS. Knowing how smart and crafty those Japanese fanboys are, we find it hard to believe Nintendo would allow such leaks, after all, they are not like Sony!
