Art Lebedev, the mad Russian designer behind the stunning [and stunningly expensive] Optimus keyboard has just thrown up a first look at his latest concept.
You know how everyone else is trying to shrink the remote control, well not our Art. His plan is to create a control to handle every channel and his solution – so far – a remote that measures half a metre long, or 20ins to be precise.
Think of the Pultius as a light sabre with a button for every channel – this one has 102 buttons to start with, covering 399 channels. It will run off two AAA batteries and it really is as insane as a bag of badgers.
Of course, it’s just a concept – so far. Jump now for another shot.-Martin Lynch

Official: Cut-Price PS3 Drops October 10 October 7, 2007

There was some speculation about a smaller, cut-price PS3 last week and , unlike many Sony rumours, this one has actually proven true.
From Wednesday, shoppers will be able to get a 40GB PS3 for just £275, while the 60GB ‘value pack’ [two games included] will see its price drop to a more reasonable £350, from £425 – although there’s no second controller. The new 40GB model at £275 will appeal to the hordes of gamers who have complained the PS3 is too expensive. Still, there is a catch – unfortunate, but true.
The 40GB version has two, instead of four, USB slots, no multi-memory card support and lastly, and most painfully, no backwards compatibility with PS2 games. I can hear many a gamer choking. While this might really annoy many, you will still be getting a next-gen gaming platform and a Blu-ray movie player for £275.
Does this appeal or has Sony’s lack of PS2 game support hamstrung what could have been a great, entry-level PS3?-Martin Lynch
