Apparently, a lot of people got pissed off about Sony’s little pay-to-play scheme that involved pre-ordering Killzone 2 in order to receive a code for the demo. Yes, the very same codes we gave out the other week. Sony is now trying to save face by offering up a “limited number of downloads” of the demo. The catch is, you’ll have to fire up Playstation Home (ugh) and look for a guy dressed up as a Helghast soldier. Ask him for a code and ye shall receive. This is US-only and the Helghast guy can be found anytime tonight after 9pm EST. Good luck!

“I have a stupid name. You must see it at the frontline when the hell starts. Dont mind about halo. I wont.”
“man,, i’ll suck your dick for a killzone 2 code”
“Killzone will own every single shoother thats now out. Grafics Top . Mp is just awsome .the new way to play Multiplayer. Blood, gore evrithing is better than those Halo puppies.”

You all never cease to amaze me. Now get your ass over to the official page and enter already. I want to form a team when this fucking demo comes out and you better believe Team Gearfuse will be in full effect.

Like the shitty iPhone 3G picture I took above? Just a taste of what our winners will receive.

This is a video I recorded earlier today demonstrating iTouchMidi, a program we wrote about the other day. I demonstrate how it works and show you how you can use your iPod Touch or iPhone as a beatmaking device. Very cool stuff here. Be sure to check it out and leave comments on those sweet sunglasses I’m wearing.

At CES this year Toshiba decided to follow the HD DVD trend with a laptop that is capable of burning HD DVDs. While the laptop was only a prototype, it is a great step for HD DVDs because it will quicken the transition from traditional DVDs to HD DVDs. As of right now everyone is keeping hush-hush about this drive, so there aren’t too many details about it out there. What we do know is that Toshiba wanted to brag about this before any other company could get their hands on that title. They aren’t even giving out a model number; the demo was on a Qosmio G35. in the demo Toshiba recorded on a 30GB HD DVD, with 15GB of space on each side of the disc. This will be an HD DVD-R drive, so start looking for that kind of disc. If you are really excited about this, then your wait won’t be that long; there are plans to give out more information in this quarter. — Nick Rice
