Apple holding iPhone OS 4 event, April 8th!

the world is turning upside down. Apple has announced an iPhone OS 4 event on April 8th at 10AM PT for a “sneak peek of the next generation of iPhone OS software.” So if you’re wondering about the future of the platform… your answers will appear sooner than you think. The team collectively dropped an “OMG” when we saw this news, as it’s pretty unusual to see such a big event coming from Apple right on the heels of something like the iPad launch. Of course we’ll be there — at Apple’s Infinite Loop campus in Cupertino — live and direct, providing the liveblogging coverage you know and love.

Free Siggraph 2007 Passes, Aug 7 – Aug 9,2007

Well, Siggraph is almost here again. For those of you that are unfamiliar, Siggraph is THE annual computer graphics and animation conference. This year Siggraph will be in San Diego at the San Diego Convention Center from August 5th – 9th. As always, most of the big names in the industry will be there exhibiting. You can get into Siggraph for free thanks to the people over at Digital-Tutors. They are offering free Exhibit Only passes to Siggraph 2007. Just go to:http://registration.expoexchange.com/ShowSIG071/Default.aspx

Click on the “Attendee” link.
Select “Exhibits Only” at the bottom of the page and click on the “Next” button.
Enter “Dig1162” for the “Exhibits Only Code” and click on the “Next” button.
The rest should be self explanatory.
This will give you a free Exhibits Only pass as well as the option while registering to upgrade to the Exhibits Plus pass for $40 (normally $75 – $95). The Exhibits Plus pass allows you access to see the featured speaker via closed circuit television as well as getting into the Art Gallery, the Animation Theater, and a number of other things. It should be a lot of fun.

See you there. ^_^

Comic-Con give away 10 limited edition “The 300″ xBox 360

If you’re lucky enough to head down to Comic-Con tomorrow, you’ll get a chance to both see a special screening of 300 and enter in a giveaway to win your own 300-inspired Xbox 360. As you can see above, it’s matte black—which probably means it’s an Elite—and has Frank Miller-styled blood spatter and a profile of King Leonidas. Definitely a great limited edition console that you’ll be happy to send in to Microsoft when it eventually gets the three red rings of death.

2007 E3 attendee list

Remember those suffocating crowds and the completely non-game-related overload that eventually caused a restructuring at E3? If not, we certainly do, and you won’t find us complaining about a more focused approach for 2007. Of course, toning down the antics inevitebly leads to less attendees, and such looks to be the case for the July convention in Santa Monica, CA. Reportedly, a paltry 32 companies are signed up to take part in this year’s festivities (larger list after the jump), but big-timers such as Microsoft, Nintendo, Sony, Electronic Arts, and Square Enix (just to name a few) will still be making the hike. Still, going from some 400 exhibitors to less than 40 in a single year should make for a very different experience when July 11th rolls around, and considering that “only 3,000 to 4,000 invitations” will purportedly be sent out, getting a little hands-on time with an actual game will hopefully be less of a chore for the ones that get in.
