I’m really trying hard to hold my patient until next month,  craving for the most anticipated game of the year, GTA IV. Meanwhile, Microsoft has announced the release of a limited edition Grand Theft Auto IV, designed for the Xbox 360. The console will include a nice sided GTA IV graphics and a really really cool briefcase, packed with all the needed accessories like a remote control, a webcam, a headset, a wireless controller with an integrated keyboard, and more. Remember, it is a limited edition pack so only 500 pieces of this treasure are set to be released, don’t count on getting one.

Sigmatek introduces the new SHD-7100 PMP with a 4.3″ WQVGA screen (480 × 272) and a lousy 1GB storage size. This player houses an SD card slot, an FM tuner, a built-in speaker, USB 2.0 and more. The SHD-7100 is compatible with MP3, WMA, OGG, WAV, AIFF, WMV9, JPG, BMP, GIF, PNG. The battery provides 10 hours of video and 15 hours of audio, measures are 127 x 77.9 x 11.8 mm. No word on price or availability but I honestly don’t see the 7100 able to compete with other PMPs as long as it provides only 1GB of storage, 1GB? c’mon, are you kidding me?
