A picture can explain so much more than thousands and thousands of words.
We took many pictures indeed, but we’ll only show you the pictures that might interest gamers in general. After all, it’s all for gaming, yeah?
The first booth we visited was Intel.
They were showing off the i7 Core CPU that’s been already released (and loved by hardcore PC gamers), with announcements of the i3 and i5.
For CES 2010, the industry really wanted to push 3D gaming, and almost every if not all companies had something to show off about the upcoming technology. If you ask me for an honest opinion, I don’t think it’ll ever take off, but who knows? From the recent success with the 3D movie, Avatar, maybe investors think that 3D gaming might have a chance as well.
The next booth we visited was Microsoft.
They had several cool stuff such as the Xbox LIVE Game Room, Zune HD with a service that brings your hardware together, interactive touch tables and other cool stuff. Since GillRider did a good job on writing the Xbox LIVE Game Room article, we’ll skip it.
Zune was usually popular among die-hard Microsoft fans, but if you already have a Xbox360 and a PC, you might consider getting Zune HD for your mobile player of choice.
The Zune will now support universal hardware support, which means that if you buy any contents from Zune, you can play it on your Zune HD as well as on your PC and Xbox360. That’s really awesome because you can literally bring your music or movies anywhere you go. And for Xbox360 users, now you can watch movies with your friends; you can invite their avatars through Xbox LIVE and interact with each other while watching the movie in virtual theater a la Mystery Science Theatre 3000. It was pretty fun watching the presentation, not only because it was cool but the lady who explained it to us was incredibly hot. I’m still kicking myself for not taking her picture. We got her email though so if you have any questions about the new Zune service, we’ll use that as our excuse to contact her.
The next cool thing we spotted was the interactive touch table.
We’ve seen it many times already. We just wonder if it’ll ever make it to the mainstream.
We still have many more CES 2010 pictures for you guys so stick with us.
