 Today I had a chance to take a closer look at Razer's new headset the Razer Megalodon. For the name, its a shark or better it was a shark since it's extinct for quite a while (1.6 million years). Afaik it's the first time that Razer names one of the products after an extinct species. They must be runnig out of names. Anyway, after the not overly successful Barracuda sound system the community will be very sceptic about a new headset from Razer, especially a surround version. So what's different now? First, Razer no longer tries to implement a 5.1 speaker system into a headphone. It's a stereo headset. So how do they get a 3 dimensional soundscape? It's called head-related transfer function (HRTF) or binaural recording. It processes a given sound by taking into account the diffraction and reflection properties of the human head and ears. It's not a new invention and has been implemented before with known brands as A3D and Sensaura. Razer claims that they have made significant improvements to this technology. Enough to make it suitable for gaming.

Ok, the GC 08 kicks off.Razer's booth seems to get bigger and bigger every year. Looks like a castle and the staff members really need some extra protection. Feels like Razer fans would kill for a T-Shirt. Click here to see some movies of the Razer booth.

Have a day to relax and to get rid of my jet lag as the GC will officially start tomorrow. Something very special for the evening though :Game tunes played by an orchestra! Razer has invited me to the Video Games Live concert. Started to upload some pics to the gallery. |

 Razer has released a new keyboard but before you get too excited I
have to break the bad news: It is going to be released exclusively in
China. Apparently it is going to be sold as a bundle with the Salmosa
mouse. It is being described as an entry level gaming keyboard so the
feature list is understandably small. The press release can be found at
this link along with a feature list and some much larger photos. Thanks to Everdying for the heads up.
