World of Warcraft Headphones Ring in at $160 [Accessories]

You can now pre-order those Sound Blaster World of Warcraft Wireless Headset that Creative Labs showed off during last year’s BlizzCon. The headsets, which come either either a Horde or Alliance theme, will cost you $160 a pop. They include custom World of Warcraft voice mods, WoW-themed software and will work on a PC or Mac. The headphones use rechargeable batteries that can be recharged while being used. Pre-orders for the headset can be made at Creative and Amazon. Not being a WoW player, I’m not picking these up, but I can see people into the massively multiplayer online game making short order of the first run.

Your In-Flight Entertainment: The PSPgo [South Korea]

Hate in-flight movies? Didn’t bring a book? Like to game? A subsidiary of airline Korean Air, Jin Air, is here to help by renting PSPgo consoles to passengers. The PSPgo is available for rental for flights out of Incheon for 4,000 won (US$3.50) — way cheaper than the $6 that some airlines charge economy passengers for booze. It’s not clear exactly what games are loaded on the UMD-less machine, but Sony Computer Entertainment Korea publishes titles like Patapon, LocoRoco: Midnight Carnival and Persona 3 Portable. So it’s possible some of those titles are playable. It is also possible that they are not as Jin Air did not name specific games. This is not the first airline to offer slick, new portables for passenger gaming fun. In 2006, Japanese airline JAL also introduced an in-flight DS Lite service . The then new DS Lite could be enjoyed free of charge by first class and executive class passengers in a special, limited time only promotional campaign. The following year, the Japan’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport set its sights on banning the use of the wireless functions on portable game devices like the DS and the PSP. The extent of the ensuing crackdown seemed to signs reminding passengers not to turn own the wireless functions during landing and takeoff and friendly warning from flight attendants.

Touching The Mad Catz Eclipse Line With Our Lifestyle [Ces10]

Peripheral and controller maker Mad Catz is getting into the “lifestyle orientated mice and PC keyboards” game, launching the Eclipse line of high end PC accessories later this year. We went hands and lifestyle on with the line at CES. The wireless Eclipse litetouch Keyboard is the most impressive offering, a slick looking, minimal design keyboard with one very cool feature, a touch sensitive LCD screen where one would normally expect a numerical key pad. The keyboard itself is backlit for easier viewing in darkened multimedia rooms and a trackball and pair of mouse buttons sit directly below the LCD screen, nice additions, but it’s the touch panel that has me considering the hefty price tag. The buttons on the LCD panel can be swapped to perform multiple functions, including acting as a standard numerical pad. There’s a multimedia shortcut setting for accessing video and music, plus the MyEclipse mode, the most customizable of the three options, letting the user assign the shortcuts and functions of their choosing to a series of buttons. The wireless 2.4GHz keyboard that we played with was comfortable and sturdy, with the LCD touch panel surprisingly responsive and easy to navigate. The only concerns, beside the $129.99 USD price for the wireless version, was the smaller size of the function icons on each key and the lack of a scroll wheel on the keyboard itself. But that’s probably what Mad Catz’s Eclipse touchmouse and mobilemouse are for. We played around with the Eclipse touchmouse to know that it’s a solidly designed wireless option that looks like a good complement to the keyboard offerings. It features a touch sensitive panel where one would normally find a mousewheel, letting the user touch-scroll up, down, left and right. While the tactile sensation of scrolling is gone, we’re getting pretty comfortable with swiping and sliding at this point. The Eclipse touchmouse also has some fancy gesture recognition tech built in, something we didn’t get to test. But we’ll hopefully test it out, giving it a thorough review when the Eclipse line starts shipping later this month.

Ford Lets You Have LAN Tailgate Parties [Ces10]

LAN parties on the go could be coming to Ford vehicles this year, the company announced at CES today. Ford’s new MyFord Touch driver connect technology and second generation SYNC system features a WiFi signal receiver that gives passengers wireless internet access in the vehicle. The system lets you plug a compatible USB mobile broadband modem into SYNC’s USB port to produce a secure wireless connection that will be broadcast throughout the vehicle. The system also includes an 8-inch touchscreen that can browse the internet when the vehicle is parked. Ford doesn’t detail what protocols they will be using for the wireless signal, but I’d like to think it’s at least 802.11g, though 802.11n is where the real action’s at. Of course, all of this will be riding on a cell signal, so don’t expect blistering speeds. Now they just need to add a trackball and a couple of mouse buttons on the gear shifter and we’ll be set.
