    I have 1080i footage of it.... its pretty nice looking and smooth.

    EA was mainly debuting it on consoles. But it still looked pretty nice, if you have a good videocard, it should run fine on a PC.

    Oh in addition to the Zune HD request that I stated I would love to see more of the ultra wide curved display from Alienware if its there.

    Im not sure how much of what I want to see is at E3, more of it is probably CES.

    here is my video of Alienware's booth:

    <object width='560' height='340'><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/NqviCVPfLug&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/NqviCVPfLug&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width='560' height='340'></embed></object>

    you will see the Curved Widescreen LCD

    and lots and lots of "new" M17x's

    I think they "premiered" the curved display quite a while ago, though.

    Man thats a sweet display, I wonder what the resolution is (im sure google can tell me) I guess the thickness wont matter too much as long as you have space for it.

    WoW used to be the premere game to go ultra wide with, but now the expansions have brought even top end computers onto there knees it would probably be impossible to do triple wide without turning down the settings in the new areas.

    Racing games are also great material for ultra wide.

    I swear I noticed 2 vertical dividing lines that were different in brightness. Seemed more like the monitor was made up of 3 panels than 4.

    Will Alienware actually market it or will they use Dell or some other LCD brand to sell it?

    That would be a good thing, 4 panels = line in the middle, 3 panels = lines on the sides.

    Plus that resolution does sound more like a 3 panel res, you can get that with 3 monitors easy.

    Alienware just confirmed (credible source) that the new M17x will have two dual videocard support:
    - Nvidia SLI
    - and... ATI Crossfire (with 4870's)

    Ghostbusters! *waits for Gophn to award a prize* lol. :p

    I haven't seen the movie or the game before... I think the photon cannons and silly outfits gave it away.

    Halo ODST looks surprisingly good, I think I might buy it, depending on the multiplayer. Is it a console only game? I am disgusted with my Xbox haha. Laptop ftw!

    *We're anxiously waiting for the "awesomelygorgeouslysemiextraordinariously" booth babe pics* Name your price Gophn!

    this PSP's screen is pretty sharp, but very much similar to the previous model's screen.

    its color and definition was definitely better than the iPhone's. :)

    if its better then the iphones then that great as the iphone has an impressive screen.

    Did they go in depth about how you buy the games? They are 100% downloadable if im not mistaken eh? Im assuming you have to buy it from PSN.

    Yes, its 100% downloadable games... no UMD.

    As for games, you will buy from PSN.

    And they are still figuring out the best way for those that own UMD games to transfer it into the 8GB of storage in this system.

    probably going to be a trade-in deal... send in your real game, get the digital download version
    ..... not confirmed yet though.

    i think what they may do(this is an assumption) is maybe when you log in on PSN it reads your disc and gives your retail copy game a specific code and you can only use it once that would be great.

    also 8gb?! I thought it was 16gb

    I support this idea 100% that would mean no lag/loading during gaming, how sweet :)

    ... actually it might be 16GB.

    I just looked at the free space... which was ~8GB.

    It was already loaded with the new Gran Turismo and other video content.

    Gophn.com presents....

    E3 2009: Booth Girls / Booth Babes :D

    I am too lazy and tired to put it up in HTML now... so you will notice links to full size pics only.

    Enjoy. :) :)

    P.S. The NYKO girl really does not know how to take pictures (you'll see what I mean).

    and there are more pics about E3 booth and not about the girls as well. ;)
