We're still supremely skeptical about 3D TV's considering the sheer lack of content. 3D blu-ray discs are coming, but slowly trickling out. You'll find a few 3D channels here and there, but not a whole lot. You'd have to go to DirecTV to find the few channels. Although, if you're on cable, certain providers offer 3D programing on-demand, which is interesting. Unfortunately, you still need..... [ read more ]

If you frequently check in with Tech Bucket Blog, then you probably know by now that we're sort of, kind of skeptical on the whole 3D at home craze. If you don't, what's wrong with you?? You should check in with us every hour because you know, we're shameless in our quest for page-views. OK, OK...so we have our ethics and principles and these silly..... [ read more ]

Like it or not, the 3D invasion is still comin'. Content is totally limited and gear can be prohibitively expensive, like with any tech that's "new" and "fresh" (which 3D, by far, isn't either). You've got 3D TV's a plenty and Fuji's got the still camera out already. No doubt, other folks will soon follow. Now, Panisonic's thrown out the first 3D camcorder. It looks pretty sweet, if not at..... [ read more ]

At CES back in January, we were sort of surprised by the deluge of 3D. You couldn't go take a dump at the show without someone throwing something 3D related in your face. Gimmick? Yeah, we still sort of think it's just a ploy to charge consumers more. Cool? Totally. But prices need to come down on the glasses (some going for $100-$200) before 3D can get more widespread. We say sort of..... [ read more ]

We can't wait for E3 next week. It looks like everyone in attendance will be getting a look at Nintendo's 3DS next week (still scheduled for release sometime in March/April 2011). Reports are leaking out that certain execs have seen it and it's cool. Yeah, I know, we called "pork rinds" on a few rumors yesterday. Let's be clear. We only said that to rumors that the unit is on par with..... [ read more ]

Yesterday came news of Nintendo's 3DS, a 3D portable game console that will display 3D images without the use of glasses on a similar formfactor as Nintendo's DSi XL. Two screens, touch, camera, etc that can play all DSiWare and DS games available today as well as 3D. We speculated that the screen will probably be something like the FujiFilm FinePix 3D.....

Before reading this review, you should know two things. 1) I don't own this camera, nor did I get a sample unit to test. 2) I might just be the slightest bit bias when it comes to FujiFilm. My very first camera was a FujiFilm and I still have it the stellar 35mm pocket cam today. All that being said, these impressions are all from our extensive hands-on..... [ read more ]

Nintendo, confirmed yesterday the existence of a 3D DS console aptly called Nintendo 3DS. It's not a 3D-FPS capable system, but a true 3D console without the use of any type of special glasses. Screen size is said to be similar to the larger DSi XL, so it's going to have a heftier screen size than a DS available today. The real kicker is being able to..... [ read more ]
