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.

What does the phrase '10 ft UI optimized' mean when talking about Prince of Persia?oupei - Monday, January 10, 2005 - link
#3, #4 you may not like the image but I don't see any plasmas hitting 1080p. Personally, I don't care for RPTVs of any type, but I'm sure hoping that the xHD3 makes it to front projectors without incidence.zeroreality - Monday, January 10, 2005 - link
from page 14:"the Taiwanese motherboard manufacturers are quite happy with nForce4 on the AMD side and they'd rather not produce any more Intel motherboards that won't sell, so ATI loses out."
the Xpress200 isn't an intel chipset...?
did any of the manufacturers say anything about the Xpress200 southbridge?

I really like those MGE cases. I can't seem to find their website though, anyone got a link?Koing - Monday, January 10, 2005 - link
#3 Shabby some people just like the 'image' of the dlp's. Some don't and I am in that category. I don't like exactly the things you have mentioned also. Also I am in England and they don't make any decent dlp's anyway :PHopefully I'll be getting a Pioneer 43XDE plasma in mid March sometime :D

Meh whats the big deal with dlp's?We had a 46" samsung and gave it right back, viewing from the side looks dark, samething if your a bit above the set or below.
And when you're staring at it dead on it blinds you with its bright lamp.
So we settled for a pioneer plasma set and its perfect, much richer colors then the dlp we had.

Anand, "We also asked Intel if they had any tricks up their sleeve for regaining the definitive performance crown next year - unfortunately their answer was no."You probably meant to say "this year" (2005), and not next.
