FPSLabs is live, again, from DigitalLife 2007 in NYC.

The Tokyo Game Show 2007 has ended and I am now in the Big Apple for DigitalLife 2007. Some of you may remember our coverage from last year
and you can expect even more this year. A lot of things are going down
here in New York and I am looking forward to bringing it all to you.

Today was the first day of the show and already things are off to a big
start. Gateway launched the Gateway One, which is an all-in-one desktop
computer that is reminiscent of Apple’s iMac. We will get a closer look
at this tomorrow hopefully with full specs and information. Perhaps
this won’t be a bad solution for those of you who don’t read our site?

Dell launched, after previously denying its existence, the XPS M1730.
This is the predecessor to the previously reviewed M1710. This baby is
full of new gear including the mobile AGEIA PhysX processor. Stay tuned for a full post revealing all the goodies packed inside this beast.

HD-DVD has made a huge showing with their HD-DVD truck and Blu-ray is
seemingly nowhere to be found. Perhaps, I will have to take a closer
look to see if this is any indication of the tide of the format war.

Toshiba
has a full-on gaming setup with their brand new X205 gaming notebooks.
This includes the chance to win one in a Gears of War PC tournament.
For those of you interested in entering this tournament that are
traditionalists or Xbox 360 fans, you can play with a 360 controller.
This editor will be fragging them away with good ‘ol mouse and
keyboard. As I said, the prize is an X205 notebook that has been
customized with the Gears of War logo right on the lid. Did I mention
that this baby also has an HD-DVD drive? More on this beast in another
post.

iRobot has unveiled some new robots to further usher in the inevitable
robotic takeover. Am I the only one creeped out by these things? Don’t
get me wrong, I would love to not have to vacuum, mop, clean my pool,
or wash my car - but I have a slight fear of waking up to one of these
robots trying to saw off my limbs. To those of you over at iRobot,
create a piece of software that I can use to play games with my Roomba
and Scooba. Only then will I buy one, but for now I can just yell at my
roommate.

Friendster
lives! Seriously, in the face of MySpace and Facebook, I thought that
this site had died. Does anyone remember the last time we heard of them
that didn’t include the words “epic failure?” Didn’t think so. However,
they may have come up with something useful for those users that stuck
with them. You decide!

HP came barreling in right by the front door showing off the DBOX which
is a cool interactive gaming chair I will have to try out sometime
during the event. More importantly, they had a number of the new HP
Blackbird 002 Gaming PCs. I got to see these babies in San Francisco
and I have to say they are very sexy. Again, I will share more with you
on these in a separate post including some pictures from the recent San
Francisco HP media event.

Last, but not least, (so it sticks in your brain) I had a meeting with
AGEIA today and the lovely Marti and her guy “Mike” had some very cool
new things to show me in their neck of the woods. I promised her I
would share them with you and indeed I shall.

A few other things of note that I will talk about in my Day 2 post:
Some cool guys I met from Alienware and Activision over at the Guitar
Hero 3 booth. Two Gibson guitars being given away in a GH3 tourney. A
challenge issued to me by Ravi Sood of HP Voodoo
in Rainbow Six Vegas. Nexon’s KartRider launching an English version on
Tuesday, October 2nd. Logitech in full effect with loads of new
products including the G15v2 and the Logitech G9. Microsoft having only
one Sidewinder at the event. Oh man, way too much stuff.

Stay tuned for much, much more here from NYC at DigitalLife 2007.
