FINAL FANTASY XIII DEMO GAMEPLAY!?! VS FINAL FANTASY VII ADVENT CHILDREN COMPLETED EDITION

"Previously thought to be landing on Japanese store shelves in March, the FFXIII Demo equipped Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete special edition blu-ray is due for release on April 16. Importers should be happy, and hopefully someone manages to record game play of the two hour FFXIII Demo. The movie is most likely region protected, but the demo disc shouldn't be (though we don't say that with certainty). Released was also a nifty cover shot of FFVII:ACC." acticle from finalfantasyxiii.net

Casio announces a cornucopia of G-Shocks

credit to Peter Ha

Last week marked the 25th anniversary of the G-Shock watch. We’ve all been around long enough to recognize the ruggedness and durability of these watches. They’re built like tanks and last a long time. I’ve got a handful in my stable of time pieces that I’ve collected over the years and I’ll continue to collect them in the coming years. Rather than pointing out each watches unique features, I’ll just paste the release for each one for you to peruse. I’m quite keen on the second one with the clear band. The first and last one’s are 25th anniversary editions.

Today, Casio America, Inc. released the new Dolphin & Whale Eco-research Network G-SHOCK watch (GW9101K-7). It supports the environmental protection initiatives of the Dolphin & Whale Eco-Research Network, an educational and research project undertaken by I.C.E.R.C. (International Cetacean Education and Research Center).

Since the 4th International Dolphin & Whale Conference was held in Japan in 1994, Casio has released both official Dolphin & Whale Eco-research Network G-SHOCK and Baby-G watches. For over a decade, Casio has donated a portion of the watch sales to help promote dolphin and whale research and educational activities worldwide.
　　
“Casio G-Shock is committed to preserving the beauty of one of our greatest natural resources,” said Shigenori Itoh, Vice President of Casio’s Timepiece Division. “Casio will continue to proudly support the Dolphin & Whale Eco-Research Network and educational outreach.”

As the fourteenth model of the Dolphin & Whale Eco-Research Network G-Shock, this year’s watch is based on the Gulfman. The rust-resistant titanium bezel, case back and screws make it a tough watch, perfect at sea and on land. With the Multi-Band 5 Atomic Timekeeping specification built-in, the watch receives standard radio waves from five time transmitters worldwide (single transmitters in the US, Germany, the UK, and two in Japan) for superior accuracy. It also incorporates the environmentally friendly Tough Solar technology — a large-capacity solar system that charges the watch even in the slightest sunshine or fluorescent light.

To evoke the image of a clear sparkling ocean, the case is made from a translucent resin while the detailing and G-SHOCK logo are done in a refreshing blue. Whale images grace both the wristband and the EL backlight. This model also features a uniquely engraved back including the words, “ALL AS ONE,” capturing the sentiment that both nature and life itself are delicately woven together like a symphony. The watch design reinforces the I.C.E.R.C. Japan message of the wonder of dolphins, whales and nature. A leaflet explaining the activities of I.C.E.R.C. Japan is also included in the packaging.

The GW9101K-7, MSRP $250, will be available at select Macy’s stores in June.

Honda NSX project goes the way of the F1 team

according to this article from paultan.org says that Shortly after announcing Honda’s withdrawal from Formula One, Honda’s Takeo Fukui has announced that the new Honda NSX project has been scrapped, though some are speculating that it’s actually just frozen for the time being. Apparently the move is part of efforts to cut costs in the increasingly challenging automaker environment.

The Honda NSX would have been a supercar with a screaming V10 mounted up front, a departure from the original NSX’s V6-powered mid-mounted layout. In fact, there have already been prototypes sighted on test in places like the Nurburgring, but I guess it’s just not meant to be, for now at least. Instead, expect any dedicated sports car offerings coming out of Honda to be small, light and come with a fuel cell or hybrid engine, pretty much like the Honda CR-Z Concept, in line with the green image that Honda is working hard to project now.

SONY PSP 2 coming soon

he PSP has had a good run, but Sony is ready to move onto the next generation according to EuroGamer. The PSP will receive one more refresh with the PSP-4000 in late ‘09. It’s PSP2 after that. Details are not available about either the updated PSP or the successor as of yet. The last update of the PSP involved an updated screen (which is hated by some) and a couple of new buttons. The final update will probably have similar, minor bumps.

HOTs: Another XBOX 360 Crisis Issue

Wikipedia’d

A recently filed lawsuit (which is seeking class action status) claims that Microsoft knew all about the disc scratching problem that affects its Xbox 360 game discs. As such, Microsoft should be required to pay a boatload of money to people whose game discs have been damaged.

As some of you may know, the Xbox 360 has a tendency to scratch game discs that are in motion (that is, spinning inside the console because you’re playing a game) when the console itself is moved. (Wikipedia has a lot more info on the technical side of things.) Common sense would suggest that people merely not move their Xbox 360 while its in use, but there are instances when this can’t be helped. (Someone walking right by the console can be enough for a disc to become scratched.) (That’s a lot of parenthetical sentences.)

Final Fantasy 13 & versus 13 Strike back~

The Cloud Message mag isn't even out on Japanese store shelves yet, and the internet is already blazing with sneaking peeks on the Fabula Nova Crystallis coverage within its pages. All three announced titles in the series: Final Fantasy XIII, Final Fantasy Versus XIII and Final Fantasy Agito XIII (PSP) are all featured in the mag and there's juicy new info on each one.

For the two PS3 games, the new reveal on Versus XIII is a pretty big one. It's the first time anyone has seen gameplay images of the game. The images themselves are tiny (pictured above), but it is clearly seen (in the larger version) that numerous pictures show off in-game scenes as hinted by the visible HUD and map. As for the Main FFXIII title, the images don't reveal as much. It's interesting to note that a character design from the title's drawing board has been semi-blurred. It is possible that this design may be a new playable character, though that is not certain. If any of this has you interested, check out the larger sized images here and see the fine details.

Believe it or Not , Back-Button to the Future

A new tool makes it easier to see the Web changing over time.

Huge quantities of information are never more than a few clicks away on the Web, but it's not always easy to see what things were like yesterday. News stories and blog posts might be archived, but other information often gets lost. For instance, while it's trivial to find a book's sales ranking on Amazon today, it's less simple to see what it was last week. And for anyone curious about how news evolves, it might not be obvious how a story's prominence has changed--did it get top billing on news sites the day it broke, or was it buried at the bottom of the page? A new tool called Zoetrope is designed to help track such information by letting users browse backward through time.

Other projects, such as the Internet Archive, already preserve historical versions of websites. But Mira Dontcheva, a research scientist in the Advanced Technologies Lab at Adobe Systems, where Zoetrope was developed, says the new tool makes it much easier to browse through this kind of data. "Having access to temporal information can help us come up with more compelling stories of what's going on around us," she says.

A user can peer back in time through Zoetrope in several ways. Simply pulling a scrollbar at the bottom of the browser winds a Web page back to show what it looked like hours, days, or months ago. Or, if the user is interested in one specific piece of information, like the price of a certain product, he or she can draw a "lens" over that area of the page to see how it changes.

An experienced user can perform even more-advanced analysis. For example, configured correctly, Zoetrope will recognize a price as it goes up or down and will show the results as a graph. It's also possible to draw lenses on different websites and sync them in order to carry out a historical comparison. For example, a user could use one lens to track weather information and another lens to track movie-attendance figures. Looking at how both lenses change over time might reveal a correlation between bad weather and high movie turnout. Zoetrope can also track some pieces of data as they move about a page over time.

An anti-radiation sticker for phones!

"Supposedly, their little dime-sized sticker will emit “a quantum physical information wave” to counter your phone’s lethal radiation. The firm responsible hasn’t released any other information about the product as of yet, or else it’s in a language I can’t read. Whatever, it’s all science, am I right?

So if you believe that this product may do you some good, and you live in Belgium, you can pick up the “E-Waves Phone Chip” today for 40 Euros, or about $50"

Flying Ultraman: Another cool Nippon-exlusive toy

Tokyo-based toy maker Wiz today unveiled a remote-controlled mini Ultraman figure [JP, PDF] that is able to fly, just like the original in the legendary super hero series. The so-called Charabot Ultraman will hit Japanese stores at the end of January (price: $35), probably without ever making it outside the country.

Wiz says it wants to sell the toy mainly to male adults in their 30s and 40s. The figure is designed like the first-generation Ultraman who became popular in the 1960s. The toy weighs 13 grams and stands 150mm tall.

New Rock Band 2 Instrument Coming (??)

Could it be the flugelhorn?

Official XBOX Magazine found that the orange input on the Rock Band 2 drum set is not an input for a second kick pedal as was previously thought. Harmonix have yet to release information about the functionality of the input but state that the functionality, and details for double-kick will be revealed.

This could be the final unveiling of the rumored and much anticipated keyboard or just another drum set accessory.
