			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Man, I can&#8217;t wait for the new <em>Dark Knight Rises</em> movie. With the arrival of Bane, there is going to be some serious chaos in Gotham this time. And to celebrate the movie, Nokia will be releasing a special edition of the Nokia Lumia 800 Windows Phone smartphone: the Nokia Lumia 800 Dark Knight Rises edition.<br />

<!--more-->It will be an extremely limited edition, with only 40 handsets being made. We really don&#8217;t have much info about this special edition handset &#8211; as if we will have a chance to buy one anyhow.</p>

<p>We do know that it features the familiar bat-logo on the back, along with Dark Knight packaging and there is a movie tie-in Live Tile visible on the screen in the video. They are certain to be super expensive if you ever do have a chance to buy one, and they don&#8217;t just end up being some sort of prize in a movie promotion.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;d like to think that I&#8217;m not as cynical or heavily nostalgic when it comes to video games, but sometimes I do miss the simpler times of gaming. Back in those days I didn&#8217;t have to download a patch every week, and then after downloading that I have to download another patch for the game I&#8217;m about to play, even if it was released just a week ago (I&#8217;m looking at you, <em>NBA 2K12!</em>). But Redditor p4warrior also reminded me of another thing that&#8217;s getting out of hand with video games:</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-72276" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/assassins-creed-revelations-retail-editions.jpg" alt="assassins creed revelations retail editions" width="600" height="146" title="assassins creed revelations retail editions photo" /></p>
<p><span id="more-72273"></span>The table above is from <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassin%27s_Creed:_Revelations#Retail_editions">Wikipedia</a>, and it tracks all six retail editions of the soon to be released <em>Assassin&#8217;s Creed: Revelations</em>. There&#8217;s the Standard Edition, the Animus Edition, the Collector&#8217;s Edition, the Special Edition, the Signature Edition and the Ultimate Bundle.  But no single bundle has <em>all</em> of the bonus items. For clarity&#8217;s sake I&#8217;ve revised this post and am only now showing the two most complete editions.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-72879" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/assassins-creed-revelations-retail-editions-02.jpg" alt="assassins creed revelations retail editions 02" width="600" height="307" title="assassins creed revelations retail editions 02 photo" /></p>
<p>If you want to get all of the physical bonuses, you get the Ultimate Bundle. If you want the in-game bonuses you spring for the limited Animus Edition. If you want both right away? Buy both.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-72280" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/ac-revelations-no-complete-edition.jpg" alt="ac revelations no complete edition" width="600" height="500" title="ac revelations no complete edition photo" /></p>
<p>You can pre-order the Standard Edition of Assassin&#8217;s Creed at <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Assassins-Creed-Revelations-Xbox-360/dp/B002I08RA0">Amazon</a>, the Collector&#8217;s Edition from <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Assassins-Creed-Revelations-Collector%252019s-DVD/dp/B0055R45QS">Amazon UK</a>, the Special Edition from <a href="http://www.gamestation.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/AjaxCatalogSearch?storeId=10651&amp;catalogId=10202&amp;langId=45&amp;pageSize=21&amp;beginIndex=0&amp;sType=SimpleSearch&amp;resultCatEntryType=2&amp;showResultsPage=true&amp;pageView=image&amp;predictiveSearchURL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gamestation.co.uk%2Fwebapp%2Fwcs%2Fstores%2Fservlet%2FAjaxPredictiveSearchView%3FcatalogId%3D10202%26langId%3D45%26storeId%3D10651&amp;searchTerm=revelations+special+edition&amp;searchBtn=GO">Gamestation</a> and the <a href="http://www.gamestop.com/browse?nav=16k-revelations+signature+edition">Signature Edition</a> and <a href="http://www.gamestop.com/browse?nav=16k-revelations+ultimate">Ultimate Bundle</a> from Gamestop US. I also saw a PS3 version of the Animus Edition at <a href="http://www.ecrater.com/p/12221299/assassins-creed-revelations-animus-edition">eCrater</a> for $500 (USD), an Xbox 360 version at the <a href="http://shop.ubi.com/store/ubiemea/html/pbPage.ACR_en_GB">UK Ubi Shop</a> going for £68 (approx. $109 (USD)) and a PC version at <a href="http://www.gamestop.co.uk/41738_PC_Assassins_Creed_Revelations__Animus_Edition.aspx">Gamestop UK</a> going for £60 (approx. $60). Whew.</p>
<p>But if I were you guys I&#8217;d choose between the standard edition and the Ultimate Bundle. We have to put a stop to in-game pre-order exclusives.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, that <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2011/07/22/star-wars-themed-xbox-360/"><em>Star Wars</em> Xbox 360</a> might be delayed (until 2012), but this limited edition <em>Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3</em> still is on track and it looks pretty cool. The console will feature an MW3-inspired design on the console itself, and on two matching wireless controllers.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-66381" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/090611_rg_CoDMW3Xbox_01.jpg" alt="090611 rg CoDMW3Xbox 01" width="600" height="596" title="090611 rg CoDMW3Xbox 01 photo" /></p>
<p><span id="more-66380"></span>There&#8217;s definitely a rugged appeal to this military-inspired design. The console itself will come with a 320 GB hard drive, a copy of <em>CoD:MW3,</em> two custom wireless controllers, a one-month subscription to Xbox LIVE Gold, and custom loading sounds to match the console&#8217;s design. It&#8217;s too bad that it doesn&#8217;t come with a Kinect, but hey, it&#8217;s still looks pretty awesome.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-66382" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/090611_rg_CoDMW3Xbox_02.jpg" alt="090611 rg CoDMW3Xbox 02" width="600" height="292" title="090611 rg CoDMW3Xbox 02 photo" /></p>
<p>The bundle will ship starting November 8th and will sell for $399 (USD), and it&#8217;s already available for pre-order over on <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0050SYJJA/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=theawes-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=217145&amp;creative=399373&amp;creativeASIN=B0050SYJJA">Amazon</a>. I&#8217;m pretty sure that this one won&#8217;t be delayed since <em>CoD:MW3</em> is on track for a November 8th release.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The mainstream news outlets may have moved on to cover more current issues, but the damage done by the earthquake and tsunami in Japan will take years and millions of dollars to repair. If you want to help, you can donate to the Japanese Red Cross and get a 2GB flash drive with Incubot&#8217;s Japan Relief Series.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-62753" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/incubot-shiroi-earthquake-relief-series-usb-drives.jpg" alt="incubot shiroi earthquake relief series usb drives" width="600" height="571" title="incubot shiroi earthquake relief series usb drives photo" /></p>
<p><span id="more-62748"></span>I&#8217;m not familiar with Nekobot, although Incubot also makes a more colorful light-up version of both the <a href="http://www.incubot.com/usbs.html">Nekobot</a> and <a href="http://www.incubot.com/voltron.html">Voltron</a>. This time both of them are fighting for Japan, so they&#8217;re proudly wearing the country&#8217;s colors.</p>
<p>You can order the limited edition flash drives at Incubot&#8217;s <a href="http://boingboing.net/2011/07/31/incubot-shiroi-voltron-shiroi-nekobot-usb-japan-tsunami-relief.html">online shop</a>. Each drive costs $20(USD), but you can also buy both at once for $37. All of the profits from these drives will go to the <a href="http://www.jrc.or.jp/english/relief/l4/Vcms4_00002070.html">Japanese Red Cross</a> and to <a href="http://www.safecast.org/">Safecast</a>, a global radiation monitoring service.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This <em>Toy Story</em> Alien USB Webcam stands at around 15 inches in height, which means that it&#8217;s larger than the actual aliens that were featured in <em>Toy Story</em>. It&#8217;s big enough that it will stand out on your desk (and honestly it might clash with a few things on your workstation.)</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-62731" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/080111_rg_AlienToyStoryWebcam_01.jpg" alt="080111 rg AlienToyStoryWebcam 01" width="600" height="436" title="080111 rg AlienToyStoryWebcam 01 photo" /></p>
<p><span id="more-62730"></span>The limited-edition Alien USB Webcam has an antenna that lights up, which glows and pulses. The webcam is mounted in its mouth, not its eyes &#8211; despite the fact that it has three of them. The trio of glowing eyes will chirp or squeak for added fun. And not that it really matters, but the webcam has a 1.3MP sensor. If you&#8217;re buying one of these, you&#8217;re not getting it for the image quality though.</p>
<p><a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2011/08/02/toy-story-giant-alien-usb-webcam/"><strong>Click to View Embedded Video Clip</strong></a></p>
<p>When you disconnect it, the webcam will even make an &#8220;ooooh&#8221; sound, just like in the movies. There&#8217;s also a speaker in the base to allow it to serve as an external speaker, as well as 2 USB ports so you can use it as a mini-hub.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-62732" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/080111_rg_AlienToyStoryWebcam_02.jpg" alt="080111 rg AlienToyStoryWebcam 02" width="600" height="400" title="080111 rg AlienToyStoryWebcam 02 photo" /></p>
<p>We know that it&#8217;s official Disney/Pixar merch from the included Certificate of Authenticity. Since it was limited to only 500 pieces worldwide, it&#8217;s pretty hard to come by one. However, there&#8217;s a small batch of them up on <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/TOY-STORY-ALIEN-USB-WEB-CAMERA-15-LIMITED-EDITION-/250820512103">eBay</a> now, selling for the rather exorbitant price of $299.99 (USD).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There&#8217;s a limited edition <em>Star Wars</em>-themed Xbox 360 coming up, that features some cool droid-inspired designs. Both Microsoft and LucasArts unveiled this console bundle for the upcoming Kinect <em>Star Wars</em> game yesterday at the San Diego Comic-Con.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-62011" title="star_wars_xbox_360_1" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/star_wars_xbox_360_1.jpg" alt="star wars xbox 360 1" width="600" height="684" /></p>
<p><span id="more-61968"></span>The bundle includes an Xbox 360 with a 320GB hard drive, the Kinect sensor and the motion-controlled <em>Star Wars</em> game. It also has the <em>Kinect Adventures</em> game, that&#8217;s usually bundled with Kinect. It will be released this holiday season and will cost $450 (USD), which is equivalent to the price of the components purchased separately.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-61970" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/072211_rg_StarWarsXbox360_02.jpg" alt="072211 rg StarWarsXbox360 02" width="600" height="785" title="072211 rg StarWarsXbox360 02 photo" /></p>
<p>The console is covered in R2-D2&#8242;s paint job, so it&#8217;s quite fetching. It will feature <a href="http://traffic.libsyn.com/majornelson/SWConsolePower.mp3" target="_blank">custom sounds</a> that <a href="http://traffic.libsyn.com/majornelson/SWConsoleTray.mp3" target="_blank">mimic the droid</a>, while the controller takes on a golden hue of C-3Po. The Kinect sensor is white, to match the console. The game looks to be geared towards kids, who&#8217;ll probably go bonkers for it.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-61971" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/072211_rg_StarWarsXbox360_03.jpg" alt="072211 rg StarWarsXbox360 03" width="600" height="535" title="072211 rg StarWarsXbox360 03 photo" /></p>
<p>While I wouldn&#8217;t pick up the console just for the game, I&#8217;d definitely buy this limited edition, as my own Xbox 360 dates from November 16, 2005, the day the Xbox 360 was launched. It&#8217;s available for pre-order over at <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0050SY300/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=theawes-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=217145&amp;creative=399373&amp;creativeASIN=B0050SY300" target="_blank">Amazon</a> now.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While I remember what happened to the original <a href="http://www.tuaw.com/2010/11/23/steve-jobs-action-figure-no-longer-available/">Steve Jobs Action Figure</a>, I kind of like this 1/6th scale 12-inch collectible figurine even better.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-59981" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/062711_rg_SteveJobsFigurine_01.jpg" alt="062711 rg SteveJobsFigurine 01" width="600" height="800" title="062711 rg SteveJobsFigurine 01 photo" /></p>
<p><span id="more-59980"></span>The Steve Jobs Limited Edition 12-inch Collectible Figurine includes a 1/6th scale sculpted Steve Jobs head and a matching 12-inch figure body. There are other tiny items included, such as the iMac, Magic Mouse, Bluetooth Keyboard, iPhone 4, iPad 2, a desk, a chair, and Steve&#8217;s outfit (New Balance 992 sneakers, black T-shirt and jeans).</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-59982" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/062711_rg_SteveJobsFigurine_02.jpg" alt="062711 rg SteveJobsFigurine 02" width="600" height="900" title="062711 rg SteveJobsFigurine 02 photo" /></p>
<p>I wonder if Apple will shut this down as well. It&#8217;s possible, but since the retailer is somewhat mysterious in its ways, it might actually sell out before the corporate giant flexes its muscles and makes it history.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-59983" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/062711_rg_SteveJobsFigurine_03.jpg" alt="062711 rg SteveJobsFigurine 03" width="600" height="801" title="062711 rg SteveJobsFigurine 03 photo" /></p>
<p>No word on where you can get your hands on this yet, but with an Apple-like price of $160 (USD), you&#8217;ll have to be a real Apple fanatic to want to buy one.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It may not be <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2009/06/14/gundam-statue-is-alive/">life-sized</a>, but Bandai&#8217;s 1/12 RX-78-2 Gundam is still huge. It&#8217;s about 5 feet high and weighs about 77 lbs.; assembling it will surely be one hell of a weekend project.</p>

<p>As you can see, the Gundam comes equipped with equally gigantic accessories – a beam saber, a rifle and its iconic shield.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-32932  aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/112-scale-rx78-2-gundam-2.jpg" alt="112 scale rx78 2 gundam 2" width="600" height="388" title="112 scale rx78 2 gundam 2 photo" /></p>
<p>The RX-78-2&#8242;s head and arms are movable, making for awesome poses. Maybe it can even cradle a baby it in it&#8217;s arms!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What you&#8217;re looking at is the millionth Xbox 360 to be sold in Australia and New Zealand, and it&#8217;s going to be auctioned off for charity.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-31841" title="halo_weta_master_chief_casemod" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/halo_weta_master_chief_casemod.jpg" alt="halo weta master chief casemod" width="600" height="422" /></p>
<p>The customized <a href="http://www.xbox.com/en-NZ/konsolesforkids/">Xbox 360</a> was created by Richard Taylor and the Weta Workshop. It features a miniature Master Chief blowing a hole through the side of the console. It&#8217;s only appropriate since the <em>Halo</em> franchise and the Xbox brand are pretty inseparable. As a matter of fact, I  bought my original Xbox to play <em>Halo</em>, and play it I did.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-31840  aligncenter" title="halo_master_chief_casemod" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/halo_master_chief_casemod.jpg" alt="halo master chief casemod" width="600" height="401" /></p>
<p>The console will be <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=330425412660&amp;ssPageName=ADME:L:LCA:AU:1123" target="_blank">auctioned off at eBay</a> in order to raise money for the David  Peachey Foundation. Microsoft will match the donation and donate an extra $10,000 to Cure  Kids.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To celebrate the first anniversary of their flagship store in Tokyo, Vertu – the luxury brand of cellphone giant Nokia – will be selling four &#8220;golden&#8221; cellphones. The price? ¥20,000,000 (appx. $215,000 USD) each. The handsets are not really made of gold – they&#8217;re &#8220;just&#8221; decorated with Japanese gold lacquerwork, and they do look amazing. Maybe not $215,000 amazing, but still amazing. The four designs symbolize the four different seasons.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-30501  aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/vertu-golden-cellphone-1.jpg" alt="vertu golden cellphone 1" width="600" height="600" title="vertu golden cellphone 1 photo" /></p>
<p><span id="more-30500"></span>What makes the price of these phones easier to swallow is that their owners will be entitled to free domestic calls. To whoever buys one of these phones: use it to call the person beside you, use it to call your dog, whatever. You deserve it.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.crunchgear.com/2010/03/26/vertu-to-sell-4-golden-cell-phones-in-japan-price-215000-each/">CrunchGear</a> says that Vertu will sell only four of these handsets worldwide, which basically means they&#8217;ll be selling one of each design. If your boss gets one of these, then he can really say that his phone is unique. Maybe not $215,000 unique, but unique nonetheless.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This insane collectible out of Japan is truly for you die-hard <em>Final Fantasy</em> fanatics out there.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-25626  aligncenter" title="final_fantasy_xiii_elixir_collectors_edition" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/final_fantasy_xiii_elixir_collectors_edition.jpg" alt="final fantasy xiii elixir collectors edition" width="600" height="802" /></p>
<p>The set includes sixteen cans of <em>Final Fantasy XIII</em> &#8220;elixir&#8221;  &#8211; which is some sort of Suntory lemon-flavored concoction with three-times the normal amount of caffeine and royal jelly. Mmm&#8230; royal jelly donuts. The boxed set also includes a commemorative metal chalice (I like to call it a Final Fantasy pimp cup). Only 30,000 of this set will ever be made, and each set comes with a serial number plate to prove you&#8217;ve got an official one.</p>
<p><a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2009/12/30/final-fantasy-xiii-elixir-box-set/"><strong>Click to View Embedded Video Clip</strong></a></p>
<p>While the individual cans can be found in Japan for about $2.50 to $4 (USD) each, the guys over at <a href="http://www.ncsxshop.com/cgi-bin/shop/SQEX-FFXEC.html">NCSX</a> are now bringing the full 16-can limited-edition collectible into the U.S. for the whopping price of $165.90. That&#8217;s largely thanks to the cost of shipping this heavy mutha&#8217; across the globe.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m just gonna order a 6-pack of Chocobos and call it a day &#8211; maybe a whole case.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When it comes to their laptops, Apple has a bit of a sadistic side, adding neat features only to take them away soon after. For example, the Firewire port was a staple of the polycarbonate Macbooks, and then it was removed from the first Unibody 13.3&#8243; Macbooks, only to be returned in the new 13.3&#8243; Macbook (semi)Pros. The black Macbooks are another of Apple&#8217;s hit ideas that they seem to have forgotten, despite appeals from numerous fans for an updated version. Colorware knows that there are at least 10 die-hard &#8220;Blackbook&#8221; fans out there willing to give away their firstborn child just to own a laptop in black casing. The good news? You don&#8217;t have to lose any of your children. $6,000 (USD_ will do.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-16223" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/cw-blackbookpro-1.jpg" alt="cw blackbookpro 1" width="600" height="384" title="cw blackbookpro 1 photo" /></p>
<p>That must be the color of a Sith Lord&#8217;s soul. Mmmmm want. Then again, it&#8217;s $6,000. So what else will you get for that kind of cash? Colorware&#8217;s so-called &#8220;Stealth&#8221; is a 15&#8243; Macbook Pro with a matte widescreen display (yet another feature that <em>wasn&#8217;t</em> broke),  3.06 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 8 GB DDR3 SDRAM, and a 256 GB SSD.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-16224" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/cw-blackbookpro-2.jpg" alt="cw blackbookpro 2" width="600" height="285" title="cw blackbookpro 2 photo" /></p>
<p>Now I know what you&#8217;re thinking, &#8217;cause I&#8217;m psychic like that, and the answer is: $4,249. That&#8217;s how much it would cost if you bought an equally pimped-out 15&#8243; MBP at an <a href="http://store.apple.com/us/configure/MB986LL/A?mco=NjcxMTU0Mw">Apple Store</a>. You could even spend a lot less than that if you buy the additional 4 GB RAM and the SSD from a third-party vendor.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-16226" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/cw-blackbook-pro-4.jpg" alt="cw blackbook pro 4" width="600" height="285" title="cw blackbook pro 4 photo" /></p>
<p>Then again, this laptop is BLACK, and as I said, there are only 10 of these available. Nah, who am I kidding. IT AIN&#8217;T WORTH THE EXTRA <strong>$1,750</strong> PEOPLE!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-16225" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/cw-blackbook-pro-3.jpg" alt="cw blackbook pro 3" width="600" height="285" title="cw blackbook pro 3 photo" /></p>
<p>But if you have the money to burn, I think you should go buy it at <a href="http://www.colorwarepc.com/p-183-stealth-macbook-pro.aspx">Colorware</a> ASAP. I&#8217;m sure there are more than 10 <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">idiots</span> people out there willing to pony up the money for this gimmick.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The <em>Ace Attorney</em> series has become a cult favorite among Nintendo DS fans, so I&#8217;m sure plenty of people are pleased to see that the most attractive special edition DSi yet is branded to match the series&#8217; spin-off, starring prosecuting attorney Miles Edgeworth.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-15538" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/tb-kgdsispn1.jpg" alt="tb kgdsispn1" width="520" height="406" title="tb kgdsispn1 photo" /></p>
<p><em>Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth</em> (known in Japan as <em>Gyakuten Kenji</em>) isn&#8217;t due out here until early next year, but the game was released last month in Japan with solid opening sales&#8230; and this beautiful DSi.</p>
<p>And now, folks, that limited edition system is <a href="http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-9h-77-2-49-en-15-gyakuten%20kenji-70-3btm.html">available for easy import at Play-Asia</a>, if, that is, you feel like dropping $299 on the imported system. True, with one of these babies in hand, no one will question you when you yell, &#8220;Objection!&#8221; or pepper your speech with the word &#8220;turnabout,&#8221; but that&#8217;s a steep price to pay for the envy of your friends and neighbors.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s a sad day for seller/mgs fan/sad person ids3remix, as he put up his limited edition gunmetal gray 40 GB Playstation 3 for sale on <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/Gunmetal-Gray-Playstation-3-signed-by-Hideo-Kojima_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ139971QQihZ007QQitemZ170342475467QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVWQQsalenotsupported">eBay</a>. I think he really needs the money, stat, or else he wouldn&#8217;t be selling his beloved console. For those who don&#8217;t know, Sony made only 9000 of the gunmetal gray PS3 for their MGS4 bundle. But ids3remix&#8217; PS3 is the rarest of the rare, because it&#8217;s also bears the signature of none other than MGS creator Hideo Kojima himself. The console comes with one controller (also gunmetal gray), the power cord (obviously), an ethernet and HDMI cables, but the original box is gone.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-14642 aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/kojima-ps3.jpg" alt="kojima ps3" width="520" height="349" title="kojima ps3 photo" /></p>
<p>Since he&#8217;s selling his console, there&#8217;s no use in him keeping his games so he&#8217;ll throw them in too: Silent Hill 5, Disgaea 3 and&#8230;Rock Revolution. Yup. That&#8217;s it. ironically (that&#8217;s gunmetal ironically) MGS 4 isn&#8217;t included. But wait, there&#8217;s more! ids3remix will also give his PSN account to the lucky bastard who snags his PS3, and of course the games under the account as well. And it&#8217;s signed by Hideo Kojima, who incidentally proved at E3 that he can be <a href="http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?s=7df3547d4c402b425ef15f7bdb99dd1a&amp;t=363806">quite sneaky as well</a> (the shot of Kojima&#8217;s ninja moves is in the middle of that page).</p>
<p>The <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/Gunmetal-Gray-Playstation-3-signed-by-Hideo-Kojima_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ139971QQihZ007QQitemZ170342475467QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVWQQsalenotsupported">auction</a> ends on June 15; bidding starts at $700 USD. Go! Think of how much the console will be worth in the future. And it plays games too.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sure, digital cameras are a dime a dozen these days. With even some of the most expensive cameras made out of cheap plastic and aluminum, it&#8217;s nice to finally see a camera that at least LOOKS as substantial as its price.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-12421 aligncenter" title="pentax_k20d_titanium_dslr" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/pentax_k20d_titanium_dslr.jpg" alt="pentax k20d titanium dslr" width="520" height="495" /></p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015GEJZ0?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=technabob-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B0015GEJZ0">Pentax K20D</a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=technabob-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B0015GEJZ0" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" title=" photo" /> is already one of the most highly rated dSLR cameras out there, but <a href="http://www.pentax.jp/japan/imaging/digital/slr/k20d/titan/">this special version</a> features titanium-finish body pieces that gives it looks that match the level of the underlying technology. In addition to the metal accented camera body, the titanium kit includes a matching metal-wrapped battery grip when you need some extra juice. The K20D features a 14.6-megapixel CMOS image sensor, a 2.7-inch live view LCD, image stabilization and a dust-proof, water-resistant case design.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-12422 aligncenter" title="pentax_k20d_titanium_2" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/pentax_k20d_titanium_2.jpg" alt="pentax k20d titanium 2" width="520" height="643" /></p>
<p>While Pentax sells its regular K20D digicam for about $700 (USD), the limited-edition K20D titanium version sells for nearly double that price. There are no plans to sell the titanium edition outside of Japan, but that&#8217;s never stopped the guys at <a href="http://www.gizmine.com/#ProductPage=CategoryCode=gzdl&amp;productURLCode=k20ddslr">Gizmine</a> before. They&#8217;ve gotten their hands on a few of these rarities for sale worldwide &#8211; so long as you&#8217;re ready to spend $1199 (USD) on one. Only 1,000 of the K20D Titanium edition are being produced, so if you want one, you better get your order in now.</p>

<p>I&#8217;m pretty sure that the flash drive is only included in the Asian version of the limited edition:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Seller <a href="http://myworld.ebay.com/lim-handek/">lim-handek</a> is one of the lucky winners of a Pepsi-Cola contest, scoring an Xbox 360 Elite with the Pepsi Max logo and blue flames, and now she&#8217;s/he&#8217;s <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT=&amp;item=160324286565=">auctioning it off on eBay</a>.  Only 60 of these 360s were made, and out of that 60 this is the only one that hasn&#8217;t been sent for repairs. Yet. Kidding.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-10871 aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/maxdbox-1.jpg" alt="maxdbox 1" width="520" height="390" title="maxdbox 1 photo" /></p>
<p>Bidding starts at $405 USD. You know what else you can buy for around $405?  A Play&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-10872 aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/maxdbox-2.jpg" alt="maxdbox 2" width="520" height="390" title="maxdbox 2 photo" /></p>
<p>&#8230;Structure Kit with Slide from <a href="http://www.u-bildplay.com/">U-bild Play</a>. What? Slides are fun too.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-10873 aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/maxdbox-3.jpg" alt="maxdbox 3" width="520" height="390" title="maxdbox 3 photo" /></p>
<p>There is a very small scratch on the side of the console, but it&#8217;s so small that lim-handek had to point it out with a red circle on the pic. lim-handek&#8217;s feedback is 100%, and to show you just how awfully nice he can be, he&#8217;s bundled a couple of games with the console: <em>Saints Row 2</em> and this game called <em>Great&#8230; Thick&#8230; Alto 4</em>? <em>Grand Theft AIG 4</em>? I don&#8217;t know.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-10874 aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/maxdbox-games.jpg" alt="maxdbox games" width="520" height="390" title="maxdbox games photo" /></p>
<p>So if you&#8217;ve been planning to buy an Xbox 360, you could do a lot worse than this; as I&#8217;m writing this there&#8217;s only one bidder on this baby so get a move on. The <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT=&amp;item=160324286565=">auction</a> ends on the 5th of April.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>These sparkly limited-edition Elton John iPod Nanos definitely live up to the flamboyant style of their eponymous inspiration.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8413" title="elton_john_ipod_nanos_4" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/elton_john_ipod_nanos_4.jpg" alt="elton john ipod nanos 4" width="520" height="344" /></p>
<p>Created by <a href="http://goldgenie.com/elton-john-ipod-starburst.php">Goldgenie</a>, each Starburst iPod Nano is encrusted with laser-embedded 250 color-coordinated Swarovski crystals, and features Sir Elton John&#8217;s signature etched into the back of the case.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8412" title="elton_john_crystal_nano" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/elton_john_crystal_nano.jpg" alt="elton john crystal nano" width="520" height="458" /></p>
<p>They&#8217;re available in black, blue, green, orange, pink, purple, red, and silver, and only 100 of each color is being made. Each iPod also includes <em>Rocket Man: The Definitive Hits</em>, a 2-CD set of Elton&#8217;s most famous tracks.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-8415 aligncenter" title="ejaf_ipod_nanos" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/ejaf_ipod_nanos.jpg" alt="ejaf ipod nanos" width="520" height="184" /></p>
<p>Priced at £449.99 incl. VAT (appx. $642 USD) for the 16GB model and £399.99 incl. VAT (appx. $570 USD) for the 8GB model, they&#8217;re definitely not cheap, but at least 12.5% of the purchase price from each purchase goes to a good cause, the <a href="http://www.ejaf.org/">Elton John AIDS Foundation</a>.</p>
<p>I can only imagine that everything in Elton&#8217;s house is encrusted with color-coordinated Swarovski crystals, including his gold-plated cat.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Capcom really thinks <em>Resident Evil</em> fans are willing to spend a lot of money. First, they announced the <a href="http://blog.wired.com/games/2009/01/resident-evil-5.html">$90 Collector&#8217;s Edition of Resident Evil 5</a>, a megabox packed with all sorts of essentials, like a necklace, a patch, and a figurine. Oh, and the game, of course. But if that&#8217;s not enough <em>Resident Evil</em> goodness for you, take heart: word on the street is that there&#8217;s an even <em>bigger</em> bundle coming: a bundle with a limited edition red Xbox 360 console.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8127" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/tb-redboxcont.jpg" alt="tb redboxcont" width="520" height="359" title="tb redboxcont photo" /></p>
<p>It will probably look a lot like this, except that there will be a console somewhere, too. Or maybe the set will feature a darker, bloodier sort of red. Either way, the infamous Red Ring of Death will look really nice on your new Xbox 360!</p>
<p>Better than this bundle? Some would say so, while others would prefer that messenger bag. Odds are you already have an Xbox if you&#8217;re scoping out <em>Resident Evil 5</em>, after all. Of course, it&#8217;s probably not red.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8126" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/tb-resiev5bund1.jpg" alt="tb resiev5bund1" width="520" height="472" title="tb resiev5bund1 photo" /></p>
<p>If it pans out, the rumored console bundle will include a copy of <em>Resident Evil 5</em>, a red Xbox 360 console, a single matching controller, an exclusive <em>Resident Evil 5</em> theme for the New Xbox Experience, and a coupon inviting purchasers to download <em>Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix</em> to that sweet new &#8216;Box for free. <em>Resident Evil 5</em> is set for release in March, and you&#8217;ll even be able to buy just the game if you&#8217;re not in the market for a bunch of extra stuff.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Japanese brewer Suntory has long been making (reportedly <em>disgusting</em>) potions for Square Enix&#8217;s <em>Final Fantasy</em> games, but until now they&#8217;ve actually resembled the in-game items. The latest round of beverages, however, breaks that tradition &#8212; Suntory&#8217;s going with the good ol&#8217; fashioned can. Fitting, since the latest limited edition drinks are sodas.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-medium wp-image-5840 aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/suntoy-dissidia-tc.jpg" alt="suntoy dissidia tc" width="520" height="270" title="suntoy dissidia tc photo" /></p>
<p style="center;">The soda &#8220;potions&#8221; are a tie-in for the PlayStation Portable&#8217;s <em>Dissidia: Final Fantasy</em>, which is schedule for release in Japan this month. There are two different flavors, with two different designs, for Light and Dark characters.</p>
<p style="center;">Unfortunately, <em>Final Fantasy XI&#8217;s</em> deliciously insulting Doctor Shantotto is the odd tarutaru out, and gets no potion. You can celebrate the rest of the characters, and relive the franchise&#8217;s long history with this ad, though.</p>

<p>For relaxing times&#8230; oh, you know the rest.</p>
