Sharp @ CES 2013

This year at CES the big product in the TV market is 4K TV's. Sharp brought their new 4K tvs to the show but they decided to take things one step further and were showing off their 8K TV (7680x4320 resolution, or 16x the resolution of a 1080p screen). Right now 4K content is tough to find so you can imagine how tough it would be to get 8K content but like with any technology its fun to see the future. Not many specs are really known about Sharp's 8K TV but the 85" demo TV they had on the show floor was pretty amazing.

Another interesting product Sharp was showig off was their Web + TV split-screen unit. As TV's have become larger and larger the ability to use half the screen for web and half the screen for TV makes you able to multi-task all from the comfort of your couch.

Next Gen Xbox Rumors

Most Xbox fans are already looking forward to see what Microsoft has in store for the Xbox 360's replacement. So far some of the rumors we've been hearing haven't been the greatest, mainly since it is being reported that you won't be able to play used games (or loan your friends you games) as they will only be allowed to be registered once on one system. That rumor is still out there and now it is being rumored that you will need an internet connection if you want to use your system which as expected isn't getting gamers very excited. Kotaku has more details on these rumors.

 

A new Edge report suggests that Microsoft's next Xbox gaming console, code-named Durango, will require an Internet connection to use. It also won't be able to play used games, Edge says.

We have not been able to confirm the veracity of this new report, which claims that Durango discs will ship with one-time-use activation codes that render them irrelevant to anyone but the person who first uses them.
