Team Fortress 2: War!

Team Fortress 2: Demoman vs SoldierFinally, a class update for Soldier (my favorite class)! There is also a class update for Demoman too. This means that all the classes in TF2 already have their class updated. For this class updates, it is a bit special. There is a competition or “war” between these two classes. The class that wins in this war will get an extra weapon! I hope that the soldier will win this war…

Google’s Real-time Search Result

Another new feature in Google! Just notice this when I was searching something using IE8. Can’t get it to work in Firefox though. :/

ps: The video is recorded using ScreenToaster. Pretty easy to use. Will probably write a post on it in the future. :)

Breadcrumb in Google Search Result

Google BreadcrumbI notice that breadcrumb navigation is now showing in the Google search result. It is quite random and not all search results have it. Maybe need some SOE. Better result discovery/navigation? What do you think?

PSP Go!: Should You Buy It?

PSP vs PSP Go

Ok… the PSP Go! is now available. And here come the question: should you buy it? The price of the PSP is not cheap, so it can be a hard decision to make. Let’s list out some pro and con of the Go.

Pro:

  • Slimmer, Lighther.
  • Large Built-in storage space.
  • Bluetooth.
  • Pause game.

Con:

  • More expensive than normal PSP and only $30/RM200 cheaper than the PS3.
  • Cannot play UMD games/movies.
  • Not compatible with existing accessories (Camera, GPS, etc…) unless you buy another converter.

As you can see from the list above, if you own a PSP, PSP Go! is not a good upgrade for you. All your existing UMD games will become useless since you can’t transfer to the Go. Existing accessories is also not compatible out-of-the-box, you need to get an extra adapter for it (and it is not elegant).

The conclusion is, if you don’t own a PSP now, you can consider the PSP Go if you have the budget (the price of the PSP Go is RM1099 (USD249) while the PS3 Slim is RM1299 (USD299)). If you are tight in budget, the normal PSP is the way to go. If you are a curent PSP owner, the PSP Go! is not a good upgrade unless you have the extra money to spend.

Nintendo DSi LL

Nintendo DSi LL

I can’t believe this… today Nintendo announced another DS! This time, it is the DSi… LL! What’s new in the DSi LL? The screen is larger than the normal DSi… 4.2 inch! In comparison, the size of the PSP screen is 4.3 inch (this is not the PSPgo which have smaller screen) Other than that, the rest of the specs are similar to the normal DSi. The price for this is 20,000 yen and will be available in Japan on 21st November 2009. The LL will be coming to Europe and US in the first quarter of 2010 and will be renamed to DSi XL. No info on availability in other regions.

Why Nintendo is introducing this when it is almost same as the DSi? The main reason is the LL is targeted at older people that can’t see the DSi’s small screen. Engadget have a nice comparison table between the DSi LL, DSi and DS Lite. (translated from the original table)

Which one would you choose? DSi or DSi LL?
