It really makes us wonder why Nintendo even bothered to send over a DSi XL to US press the day before Nintendo Japan’s 3DS announcement less than 24 hours later. Yes, I know the DSi XL has been available in Japan for quite a while, but I’m just saying.
Details are skant, but the 3DS will offer gamers a 3D experience on the …
No, it’s not the sequel, but viewers might get a chance to head back into the theater for more Avatar as early as this summer.
The Hollywood Reporter says that James Cameron and FOX are in negotiations to re-release Avatar in theaters late in the summer to make up for what they speculate was millions lost to being bumped from screens …
Earlier today we talked to Breck Eisner, director of The Crazies, about what it was like to revive a horror masterpiece originally molded by the great George A. Romero. (Look for our Crazies review Thursday)
Well, Eisner is also tentatively attached to the still-in-development big-screen reboot of Flash Gordon. When we spoke on Monday …

Today in Techland: Is Dubai something out of a Star Wars planet? It just might be. Will Street Fighter 4 pack much of a punch on the iPhone? Can Invincible save the world … again? Is the Skype app the best thing to happen to Verizon since “Can you hear me now?” Yep.
Just in case you were too busy begging …
Sony reportedly gutted the Spider-Man franchise of its talent, and scrapped its 2011 release, to further the 3D evolution of film. Rumors said that Raimi didn’t know what to do, or perhaps just didn’t care, about the up-convesion of his fourth Spider-Man. So now Sony’s gone out on a limb with a full reboot, all in hopes of tapping some …
Big news from Warner Bros. yesterday. Clash of the Titans, which had already been bumped back from its original release date, will now hit theaters April 2 as a full-fledged 3D experience.
This comes on the heels of the news that Warner Bros. is planning to release a whole slate of 2010 films in 3D: From Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of …

Today in Techland: TABLET MANIA! Peter is still in San Fran, mentally preparing himself for the media battle at tomorrow’s unveil (and chatting with ngmoco’s Neil Young). But first, a compilation of tablet rumors, all in one tidy post. And make sure you check back tomorrow to see just what stacks up.
In other …
In 1992, James Cameron was at the helm of what would be the first Spider-Man film, but even the man who would go on to bring us behemoths Titanic and Avatar was no match for the Spidey curse.
Clashes with Marvel execs squished Cameron’s spider wish, but not before the director had put a good amount of work into the doomed flick. …
First come the fancy 3D TVs, then the fancy 3D eye ware.
From CES: VIZIO unveiled its new line of XVT HD3D TVs: Three sets – a 72-in. for $3,499, a 55-in. for $2,499 and a 47-in. for $1,999 – that will ship in August and couple with Bluetooth-equipped active shutter 3D glasses from XpanD (along with 3D tech company SENSIO). In …
I told you CES would be all about 3D. And it turns out that DreamWork’s “Monsters vs. Aliens” will be the first 3D Blu-ray film out this year. There’s one caveat though. The only way to get the movie is to purchase a Samsung 3D theater experience package and that includes a 3D HDTV (LED, LCD or Plasma), the BD-C6900 Blu-ray …
ESPN just announced its plan to implement a 3D TV station – not a surprising move as the countdown toward this year’s “3D Polooza” themed CES is upon us.
The station will kick off with an inaugural broadcast of The South Africa-Mexico World Cup match on June 11, but now the big question is: Who will watch? I’m not sure sports …
In a little over a week I’ll be in Las Vegas for CES. It’s my hope – along with every other tech journo – that the annual trade show will serve as center stage for some groundbreaking announcement by a major (or minor) CE company. It’s doubtful, but I’m keeping my fingers crossed. I don’t expect Palm to make as big a splash as they did …
