TekNmotion has given gamers a slice of the luxurious life (at a budget price!) with the Blaster Amplified Universal Headset for the Xbox 360 and PC. This isn’t just a gaming headset; with its multiple adaptors you will be able to use it to place VoIP calls and listen to music, podcasts, and audiobooks. As a self-proclaimed audiophile, I was amazed and surprised that the $30 Blaster sounded so crisp and clear, thanks to the 40mm Neodymium bass drivers, and TekNmotion’s patented XJacKer Soniq Rush amplification technology. Overall, TekNMotion’s headset is an excellent package, with the only negative being its somewhat cumbersome console cabling setup.
Infinity Blade 2 is slated for arrival on December 1st. But to get the most out of the game, you’ll need an iPhone 4S.
Created in true Street Fighter arcade fashion, the new stick has the traditional 8-button layout with all four punches on the top row and all four kicks on the bottom row. You have your standard light, medium, and heavy punches and kicks, as well as buttons for triple punch and triple kick (excellent for smoothly pulling off EX and Ultra moves). The Fightstick Pro features “Authentic Japanese-style Sanwa Denshi” joystick and buttons, a 3-way switch that allows the joystick to function as either the left or right analog stick or the D-pad, and a 13-foot USB cable that lets you wipe the floor with your enemies from nearly any distance.

Archos takes another dip in the slate pool with its new G9 Android tablet line.
Technological advances have proven disruptive forces to content providers for the past few decades. For example, the rise of the Internet and peer-to-peer file trading services led to the RIAA suing people for thousands of dollars in alleged damages caused by song and album bootlegging. More recently, Netflix and Hulu’s steaming video services have caused an increasing number of people, myself included, to consider ditching pricey cable television. Needless to say, the MPAA isn’t particularly thrilled with the cord cutters, and is looking for ways to recoup some of the losses even though the number of cord cutters aren’t that large–yet.
Sony’s pre-TGS conference revealed the Vita’s Japanese launch date, price, data plan, corgis, some lovely menu music and many other capabilities. As we said earlier, it is a very sexy piece of tech.
