LG Picks Up Four EISA Awards[teaser]The company's products were declared Best Value in HDTV and Blu-ray Player categories.[/teaser] The European Imaging and Sound Association saw fit to shower LG with a handful of awards for their HDTVs and Blu-ray players. The Korea IT Times reports that in an addition to an award for greenest mobile phone, LG took home three home theater awards. The as yet unreleased LG SL8000 took home the Best Value HDTV and has been praised for combining the best in design and technology into one device. The unique face of the LCD makes it appear to be one uninterrupted sheet of smoky glass, and according to the EISA provides “a great Full HD viewing experience at an affordable price.” The critically lauded BD390 took home the Best Value award for the Blu-ray Player category. With built in Wi-Fi, Netflix and CinemaNow streaming, not to mention high visual quality and analog 7.1 ouputs at an affordable price, it’s no surprise. Already a winner of a 2009 CES Innovations Award, the LG HB954PB is a fantastic looking Blu-ray home theater system which includes streaming capabilities. The EISA commented that owners of the home theater system were able to “experience Blu-ray in full High Definition and surround sound, for a high quality music and movie experience” with a “simple and easy installation” and “balanced, detailed sound.”Posted Wed Aug 19, 2009 at 09:00 AM PDT by: -

$299 PlayStation 3 Slim Officially Announced and Detailed[teaser]Smaller, lighter , and less power hungry, the new PS3 has finally been announced.[/teaser] Available in the US in the first week of September, Sony has officially announced the PS3 Slim. It’s smaller, it’s lighter, and it’s cheaper, at an MSRP of only $299. Kaz Harai, who announced the price cut, says the PS3 Slim won't have capabilities that the normal PS3 doesn’t have. The price cut, which will affect standard PS3s starting tomorrow, may be a big announcement, but perhaps more important for home theater buffs is the power consumption, which has been cut by 34%. Less power consumption means less heat, and less heat means a quieter fan, which makes the PS3 slim preferable to it’s bigger brother for Blu-ray watching. The PS3 slim does not have the ability to install an OS like Linux, something expected by many. There also does not appear to be a simple way to remove the hard drive, meaning that an upgrade from the on board 120GB drive will be difficult at best.
