    Is there a new xbox releasing in the next few years?

    i want to buy the xbox 360 slim, but there's no point of me buying it if there's a new generation xbox that is going to be released in the next few year's, if so i would be sticking with my ps3, btw i'm no fanboy, i love both consoles, so please help me decide :)

    I highly doubt it.

    PS3 Blu-ray 3D playback now available

    (Credit:Sony)

    It has been a long time coming, but a firmware update is now available that enablesPlayStation 3 owners to play Blu-ray 3D films.

    The update was released yesterday, a day before it was expected. Upon downloading firmware version 3.50, people can watch the relatively small number of Blu-ray 3D films on their PlayStation 3 consoles attached to their3D TVs.

    However, Blu-ray 3D playback is just one component in the upgrade. In addition, Sony has added a feature that allows game developers to integrate Facebook into their titles. According to Sony, supported games will let people “access public information–including user name, profile, uploaded photos, and friends list–to enhance their gameplay experience.” the company didn’t say which titles support the new offering.

    The PlayStation 3′s firmware version 3.50 also includes a “grief reporting function.” According to Sony, people can now send messages directly to the company from their XrossMediaBar (XMB) about any “inappropriate messages they receive from other PlayStation Network users.”

    Sony’s firmware update is available as a free download from the PlayStation 3.

    New York Ranks 1st In iPad Owners; California Greenest State For Gadgets

    Its probably no surprise that California was ranked first for being the most green when it comes to gadgets, heck more people in that state hug trees more than any other stateyes, they hug trees, hard. Seriously, though, the data actually comes from a new report from Retrevo based on the US consensus data and you might be surprised about which state ranked where with what gadget.

    As the headline states, New York was first when it came to iPad owners and also ranked first for emerging technology, including netbooks, smartphones and Blu-Ray players.

    Probably to no ones surprise, the Arizona metro areas ranked number one for using old-school technology, including CRT TVs and VCRs. Of course, illegal immigrants arent going to be first in line to buy a brand new Blu-Ray player or iPhone and they certainly arent going to be first in line to purchase a 3D stereoscopic HDTV.

    Also worth noting is that the San Francisco Bay area ranked first for streaming media. I guess paying for cable or DirectTV just isnt on their agenda, but using a PS3, PC or Xbox 360 to grab TV and movies is a higher priority for the coastal bunch.

    Of course, you can learn more about the data collected from the consensus as well as a full overview of Retrevo’s charts by heading on over to their Official Website.

    Hulu due for PlayStation 3 in July, Xbox 360 in 2011

    While it might not quite be on artistic par as Europe’s score with arthouse film streaming service MUBI, the announcement of Hulu Plus — an ad-supported and subscription based alternative to the current TV streaming service — has also brought word that both the PS3 and Xbox 360 will be getting their own on-dash version.

    The guided tour of the $9.99 per month service notes that the PS3 version will launch in July with full seasons of current programming (full list here), along with full series archives of shows like Buffy, X-Files and Arrested Development (full list of those here, too). an Xbox 360 version will follow after the holidays.

    Currently the service is invite only, with the iPhone and iPad viewers already available as a free download on the App Store.

    Read more about the new service via Hulu’s latest blog post, and see the video tour here.
