Great article. Hope you had a great time at CES i must have missed alot of stuff because i didn’t see the PS3 motion controller and eye thing that some say they saw and some how missed some gaming stuff.
Also a bit disapointed i was not able to hug the lovely nixie while there. No worries i understand and we will see each other at E3
