It’s a numbers game when it comes to dSLRs and their respective pixel counts right? But what about Hasselbald’s new H4D-40 with 40 MegaPixels? O_O Read that part yet? 40 megapixels… 40 million pixels in 3-by-44mm CCD sensor. At that size, it’s about twice the size of a typical full-frame 35mm DSLR sensor.

With those specs, it easily beats my Nikon D90 out of the ball park.

The International version for Final Fantasy XIII is set for release on March 09, 2010, several months after the original japanese release. The official trailer below shows the reason for the delay. Square-Enix took it’s sweet time to do localization properly and apply it to the video (not just the sounds.. or voices). No more lip-synching

I’ll admit, when Polaroid announced the decision that they’ll stop producing films for their Instant film cameras (AKA Polaroids), I felt sad because the sheer legacy of the company and it’s cameras to the world of photography has come at an end. Or so we thought.

Impossible Project has acquired (legally of course) the equipment necessary to produce the instant film and aim to start production this year in cooperation with Summit Global Group for distribution. But what about the cameras?

Phew! Things have been really hectic for me since the New Year began and one of the few joys during the interim that I found throughout my currently busy busy busy schedule (aside from the obvious lure of moolah) was the opportunity to take pictures with my new baby, the Nikon D90. I posted it’s first pics (well picture of the D90 box at least) via my New Year greeting but failed to record the unboxing pics because I didn’t remember to take pictures Oh well, at least I got the hang of all the new buttons, nubs and features pretty quickly because I dropped everything and played with the cam’s features up until the New Year’s celebration on the beachside but that’s another story.

A Dead or Alive game is headed straight for the PSP. It’s coming out in english (that’s a rarity no? We usually get to see the Japanese version out first) and in bikinis O_O. Did you read that right? Yep. Dead or Alive Paradise is headed for the PSP, in english and in bikinis.

I’m not an avid fan of the Vocaloid meme but I must admit that Project Diva has had my undivided attention for quite some time now (approximately two months and counting).

It’s cute, it’s challenging but more importantly, it’s great fun. The game can be categorized under a rhythm game like patapon but instead of battling zigotons and monsters, you try to score points by continuing your button combos

It’s the new year and we have a new set of PSP Games to look forward to. Looking back on last year’s post, we only missed three games that didn’t have a 2009 release date. Fortunately, Kingdom Hearts:Birth by sleep is already released in Japan so a US (English) release date isn’t going to be far off. The remaining titles are Parasite Eve: 3rd Birthday and Final Fantasy Agito XIII but sadly, it seems that they won’t be appearing this year either so they’re back on this list under the Games we want to see in 2010 category.

I guess I’m getting rusty with keeping up to date with the latest PSP stuff as the latest update on Hold+ plugin appeared right under my nose. The latest version for the plugin is currently at 4.0. What makes it so useful? When using your PSP as an MP3 player, it nearly doubles your battery life (at least the developer says so )

The Hold+ plugin does the following when activiated:

• Switches off the LCD screen and backlight.
• Underclocks the CPU to 60MHz
• Fixes malfunctioning Hold switch.
• The original screen brightness and clock speed are restored only when the Hold switch is released fully to the power off position.
• Prevents the PSP from going into suspend mode if you accidently push the power switch too far when turning off Hold mode.
• Turns off LEDs in hold mode.
• While in hold mode, allows the use of Left, Right, LTrigger, RTrigger, Volume and Start buttons, if you hold the Select button first. Useful to skip songs, pause etc.

I know, I’m late. Dragon Age Origins was released by Bioware in the 4th quarter of last year and it’s been hailed (depending on who you listen to ) as the current epitome of RPG games (I’m pretty sure some folks will chime in Final Fantasy XIII is that game but as I said, it depends on who you listen to).

The PSP’s Homebrew scene is one of the best modding communities out there which is why there’s quite a lot of quality plugins that’ll turn your PSP to something much more than a portable gaming device. Of course that’s not to mention the games that the homebrew community are releasing that only requires that you have custom firwmare installed to run. We’ll discuss them in a later post but for now let’s stick to just PSP plugins . Note done and share the PSP plugins that you can’t live without.

1. Popsloader – Not all PSX games works with just custom firmware which is why you need the Popsloader plugin to load and run PSX games.  Final Fantasy VII anyone?
2. Hold+ plugin – If you’re using your PSP as an MP3 player, battery life is definitely and issue and Hold+ will help you trim down your PSP’s battery usage.  It’s quite a must for people on the go.
3. Screenshot plugin – Instead of pulling out your phone or camera to take shots of your PSP, this little plugin will allow you to take screenshot right on your PSP.  Perfect for sharing that gamebreaking moment!
4. Fatmsmod – Although I’m not using the official DA release (since it’s just for 5.00 M33), the FatMSmod is simply a must due to the increased speed in memory stick access.  Just a warning though, flash at your own risk.

So what’s yours?
