Games
There weren't too many gaming related booths at CES but there were a few points of interest.
Battlefield 2
The Battlefield 2 engine was also on display on the Microsoft booth, although the graphics weren't tremendously impressive the engine looked like it would be a good continuation of the Battlefield series.
Prince of Persia
A Ubisoft representative made two interesting announcements at Barrett's keynote: Prince of Persia: The Warrior Within is both Hyper Threading enabled and 10 ft UI optimized. The Ubisoft representative didn't indicate how HT was taken advantage of or if it was even available without a patch, but it is interesting to note given the dual core future that's quickly approaching.

"we had a 46" samsung and gave it right back, viewing from the side looks dark"Do you know anything about plasma vs DLP?
DLP's only life problem is you'll have to buy a new bulb.
plasma's problem is that it will continue to go darker and darker until the gas runs out of energy.
You don't like the dark of dlp you aint gonna like the dark of plasma.
#############################################
Plasma - can't change the gas- no refills - no recharging. Continue to get darker picture.
Dlp - change a bulb.
Plasma - spend lots of money know and throw away soon.
Today, I can get a 76" dlp for $1400 with <2cm display thickness.

"The Radeon X800 will be available in the first week of February"That's odd. What's this, then?

Thanks for that link :D. I thought those MGE cases looked great as well and made me interested in what they have been making lately.KristopherKubicki - Monday, January 10, 2005 - link

Was the second image on the very last page messed up for anyone else? I could only see the top 10% of the image and the rest was blacked out. The image is supposed to show the MGE cases. The text just above the image is..."MGE also demonstrated a more sleek lineup of cases, a welcome change from the overly busy gaming cases that we've seen far too much of lately:"

"The entire Sound Storm division at NVIDIA has been shut down and thus NVIDIA's Intel solution will have HD Audio support, but we will not see the return of Dolby Digital Encoding support or NVIDIA's Sound Storm DSP."I don't believe this for a second. Can someone please confirm or deny this claim? Thanks!
