Earlier this year it was announced that Ion would make a premium drum set for Rock Band 2 called the Drum Rocker. The set would be sturdier and would be able to take a pounding. The draw to these drums is that you can hook up a drum brain from Alesis and turn the Rock Band drums into an actual electronic drum set. The draw back... the price starts at $300! But it seems that you may be able to test this new drum set out at your local Gamestop because some stores will actually start selling them. Those particular GameStop will then order the kit and, depending on its location, either have it delivered to the store for pickup or have it delivered directly to the consumer's home. While there was no expressly stated day that this would be instituted across all of GameStop stores, it seems more than likely that the Ion Kit option will be available for consumers when Rock Band 2 hits shelves next week.

HP today announced an unprecedented milestone in mobile computing: up to 24 hours of continuous notebook operation on a single battery charge.
As measured by an industry-standard benchmark, the new HP EliteBook 6930p configured with an optional ultra-capacity battery delivered up to 24 hours of battery runtime.
 "All-day computing has been the holy grail of notebook computing," said Ted Clark, senior vice president and general manager, Notebook Global Business Unit, HP. "With the HP EliteBook 6930p, customers no longer have to worry about their notebook battery running out before their work day is over."
Designed and tested to last, HP batteries benefit from a combination of HP engineering and energy-efficient notebook components such as Intel solid-state hard drives (SSD) and mercury-free LED displays. For example, the highly efficient HP Illumi-Lite LED display boosts battery run time by up to 4 hours compared to traditional LCD displays, while the Intel SSD provides up to a 7 percent increase in battery life compared to traditional hard drives.
In October, customers will be able to purchase an HP EliteBook with the new Intel high-performance SSDs - HP is a launch customer for new Intel X25-M and X18-M Mainstream SATA SSDs.
In addition to helping achieve outstanding battery life, these new Intel SSDs provide greater durability and reliability as well as faster system responsiveness. Internal HP benchmarks show overall performance boosts of up to 57 percent on industry benchmarks, and data transfer rates almost six times faster than traditional hard disks.
"Intel architected its new line of high-performance solid-state drives specifically to bring a new level of performance and reliability to the computing platform and make significant impact to the way people use their PCs," said Randy Wilhelm, vice president and general manager, NAND Products Group, Intel. "The HP milestone is an example of the impact of this new level of performance that specifically delivers on lower power consumption for longer battery life."
The initial ENERGY STAR-qualified HP EliteBook 6930p configuration starts at only 4.7 pounds (2.1 kilograms). It features a 14.1-inch diagonal widescreen display and is available with an optional, mercury-free Illumi-Lite LED display. |

 With about 1 million units sold at the time, Metal Gear Solid 4 was the top selling game of June 2008 but on the next month it didn't even make it to the top 10 list; and now, it has hit the bargain bin in Japan.
The limited edition of Metal Gear Solid 4 used to retail for 8820 yen (USD 82.75) in Japan but now major retail chain, Shibuya Bic Camera, offers it for a mere 3980 yen (USD 37).
Is Metal Gear Solid 4 still popular with you? If so, please let us know in our forum! |
