Sony: no 80GB PS3 for Europe

Filed under:

European gamers hoping to score a PS3 with a larger-than-60GB hard drive had better bust out their screwdrivers — Sony Computer Entertainment Europe president David Reeves isn’t planning on selling that 80GB PS3 in your hood anytime soon. Writing for MCV, Reeves says the larger hard drive only makes sense in a market like South Korea, which has “very high broadband penetration and the people there are used to downloading content, so they require a certain size hard drive.” Ouch, way to underestimate your customers — better start downloading more movies, Europe. Reeves goes on to say that he doesn’t “feel” competing with Xbox Live since Sony is in a “different stadium,” and that it doesn’t have “eyes on the competition in any way.” We’re not going to tackle that one, except to point out that if Sony was looking at the competition, it might notice that 120GB hard drive said competition now has available.

Keepin’ it real fake, part LIX: E-PDA V16 mocks Nokia N95

Filed under:

Can’t afford the $750 or so required to pick up a Nokia N95 right now? Fret not, as the Chinese knockoff factories have been workin’ overtime in order to crank out a somewhat similar alternative to fit the bill. The E-PDA V16 comes in a bit larger than the authentic iteration and includes a three-inch QVGA touchscreen, three-megapixel camera, Bluetooth, multimedia player, and a touch of tacky to top things off. Of course, any of your pals that are in the know won’t be impressed by your futile attempts to fool ’em, but considering that this thing won’t cost you nearly as much coin as the real deal, it might be worth the embarrassment (or not). Catch a few more snapshots of the impostor after the jump.

Fake Steve Jobs’ real ThinkPad Reserve

Filed under:

It’s only 2 days from launch and already the mighty El Jobso himself is toting a ThinkPad Reserve Edition laptop. That’d be Fake Steve Jobs supposedly carrying the “Chinese uber laptop” delivered (and engraved) personally by Fake Larry Ellison. Too funny. Oddly enough, the TRE (minus the engraving) looks to be the real deal in that photo which makes the true identity of FSJ all the more intriguing.
