I hope you didn't forget about the Razer Hydra. It's a motion-control device for PC, which might seem a little unusual at first, but the market is certainly there for this type of controller. Razer and Sixense have announced details for the Portal 2 bundle: it's shipping in June for $139.99.
Pre-orders will open in May for the bundle, which includes the crazy-looking base, two controllers, and a copy of Portal 2. The real draw seems to be the custom levels for Portal 2, as demonstrated here. The question you always have to ask yourself is "Will this thing be supported by software?"
Thankfully, it's shaping up nicely on that front. At launch, the Razer Hydra will be compatible with 125 games, and they're mostly games you'd want for this device. Head here to see the full list and more on the Hydra.

Just before Sony's E3 press conference, analyst Michael "Frog Touch" Pachter predicted a practical no-show for the PS Vita. He wasn't too wrong about that, either. The analyst went further than that, however, declaring the sy...
So far, everything dribbling out of Microsoft's Don Mattrick at E3 this year reeks of the hubris that surrounded Sony in 2005. Hammering home that same cocky, flagrant contempt for the average consumer, Mattrick has uttered h...

The PlayStation 4 has been revealed at last! Here it is in all its blue and black glory. It looks ... very angular. Very square. Not at all like the rounded design the PS3, PSP, and PS Vita have rocked. There's a PlayStation 2 look to it.
I hope that's a good portent. The PS2 rocked!
