Xbox Project Natal the new way to paly games

Introducing Project Natal, a revolutionary new way to play: no controller required. See a ball? Kick it, hit it, trap it or catch it. If you know how to move your hands, shake your hips or speak you and your friends can jump into the fun - the only experience needed is life experience.

And for me this E3 is about breaking down barriers.

Transforming Cargo Pickup concept looks toyish

The electric truck can shift to variable tracks and wheelbase to accommodate the said configurations. To further reduce its footprint on the road, when not in use, the storage compartment can be detached from the vehicle.

The targa-top version of the Veyron, the Veyron Grand Sport has started its journey on the production lines. Unveiled last year at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, the “roofless” version is limited to a production run of 150 units, and the first unit has already been sold for $2.9 million. The remaining units will sell priced in the neighborhood of $2million.

A targa version for the Veyron was the best possible choice, because of lower costs of development and because no other solution could fit into the Veyron’s safety cage. With its roof in place, the Grand Sport will be able to reach a top speed of 252mph, which will go down to 224mph when the roof is removed.

EcoWatercraft’s all-electric Jetski does 50mph

The ECO Jetski from EcoWatercraft is a zero emission Jetski powered by electricity. Running on batteries, this Jetski does not contribute to air pollution, and it does not make a loud noise like conventional Jetskis. Once fully charged, it can run for three hours and reach a top speed of 50mph. There is no word on pricing or availability yet, but the company seems very confident and has a whole lot of promises to offer. Let’s just hope they can put production ECO Jetskis on the waters, and do that at affordable prices.

One-off gold plated Wii for the Queen of England

THQ, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of interactive entertainment software, has sent an unusual, glittering gift to the Queen of England, and it’s a gold plated Wii. The one-off blinged device was delivered to Buckingham Palace. Finished in gold, the unique Wii console was specially commissioned for the Royal Family to mark the launch of brand new BIG Family Games for the Wii. The gilded Wii was delivered along with one of the first copies of BIG Family Games. THQ’s Danielle Robinson said in a press release that BIG Family Games is the ultimate Wii game to get all family members, from grandparents to young children, playing together. Her Majesty and other members of the Royal Family will be able to play 24 unique twists on classic family games, including golf, tennis, ladder golf, lawn darts, horseshoes and bocce. Danielle Robinson further said…

We thought that Her Majesty the Queen wouldn’t want to play on any old console, so an extra-special gold one was commissioned. We hope that she and the rest of the Royal Family enjoy the game!

I must say it’s an intelligent marketing strategy and it might give an impetus to the sales of BIG Family Games for the Wii.

Speculation: Renderings for a four-door Veyron

Speculations for a new Veyron are hot again, and even though it seems very unlikely, the renderings are for a four-door model. According to Auto Express, Bugatti will unveil a four-door Veyron at the Frankfurt Motor Show, as part of its centenary celebrations. Inspiration for the new model comes from the 1927 Type 41 Royale. Power will come from the Veyron’s W16 albeit front-mounted, and the interiors will get more luxurious.

The Royale will be built on a chassis co-developed with Bentley, and this same chassis will also go under the new Arnage. Interesting as all this sounds, it does seem a bit far-fetched. Another special edition Veyron, most likely; a new model, very unlikely.
