News: LittleBigPlanet, stunning displays highlight CES

[H.axen]

It's all about displays at this year's CES. Two of the two coolest tech products at the entire CES this year were Alienware's magnificent 2880 x1990 curved display and Sony's hyper-thin, super-bright <a href= http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organic_light-emitting_diode>OLED</a> display. (Check out the Alienware display in action by clicking <a href= http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vq52x6LmUew>here</a>. )

LittleBigPlanet rocks. Sony's packed-house demonstration of collaborative platform game builder <a href= http://www.gamepro.com/sony/ps3/42455/info.shtml>Little Big Planet</a> sent massive ripples of energy through the show. The demo featured the game's designers demonstrating the community and level-building tools in the game. Then the guys built and played through a custom level. Even a crash right at the beginning of the demo couldn't mute the audience's very favorable reaction.
