Posted Mar 24th 2008 2:57PM by Nilay PatelFiled under: Gaming, Portable Audio If Metal Gear Solid 4 truly is the last game in the series (please please no), it’s going to have gotten quite a send-off: a limited-edition gunmetal PS3 in Japan, a new $499 PS3 bundle in the rest of the world, the North American launch of the DualShock 3, and, uh, some wireless headphones. Well, not just any wireless headphones: a limited-edition run of Sony’s hot 7.1-channel MDR-DS7000s, with different artwork on each can. Sadly, it doesn’t look like these are going to be all that easy to get — only 30 will be randomly handed out to those buying MGS4 bundles from the Japanese Konami store from now until June 1. Better get clicking, Sparky.[Via Gemaga; thanks J]Tags: digital, dvr, tech, PDA (Read the full post about ‘Sony teases us with hot super-limited-edition MGS4 wireless headphones’…)

This may be just another rumor here, but it looks like Dell is set to to make a semi-rugged version of the Dell Latitude E6400. If the standard Latitude E6400 doesn’t excite enough, then I guess the semi-rugged version which is reportedly to be shock-proof, spill-proof, dust-proof, and altitude and humidity resistant will be enough to make us wait patiently before upgrading to a new laptop.  The upgraded version of the still-yet-to-be announced E6400 is said to run on Centrino 2 processor and will sport 14.1-inch WXGA display with your choice of either a high brightness 750cd/m2 or a 650cd/m2 touchscreen display.

Here’s set of toys Osama Bin Laden or Saddam Hussein might have fallen in love with.
