Case-Mate offers $0.99 iPhone recession case… a day after recession ends

In life, you’ll quickly learn that everything is about timing. And thankfully for us Earthlings, Case-Mate seems just 24 hours off with this one.

Sony finally hacks $100 from ‘old’ PlayStation 3 price, starting today

After begging , pleading and imploring Sony for months on end to lower the barrier to entry on its PlayStation 3 console, the company has at long last relented. Starting today (supposedly, anyway), all existing PS3 consoles will retail for $100 less than they did yesterday, though it looks as if most e-tailers have yet to ratchet their tags down to reflect the change. Of course, you could wait just a few more days and snag a PS3 Slim for the low, low price of $299, but the question is — will you?

Nintendo finally sees Wii demand slowing, calls iPhone a DS / DSi competitor

While it seemed that all was going well for the Big N, it looks like those jovial times are finally coming to a (temporary) end.

Nintendo’s Wii MotionPlus selling well, and Wii Sports Resort ain’t even out yet

For a device that took a solid year to go from ” debuting at E3 ” to ” shipping ,” we’re pretty surprised to see that Nintendo’s Wii MotionPlus held as much steam as it did. With overall video game sales dropping in June for the first time since 2000 (when looking at year-over-year figures, anyway), the Big N still had a few hundred thousand reasons to smile. Aside from the 361,700 Wii consoles and 766,500 DS units that shipped in June, the company also managed to sell 169,000 Wii MotionPlus dongles — and that’s not including the ones that were packaged with Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 , of which 272,400 units were sold

SGI name lives on after $42.5 million sale to Rackable Systems

As you know, Rackable Systems was originally hoping to acquire the one-time king of the 3D set for $25 million (with some speculating that even that was a bit much), but it looks like the bankruptcy judges had other plans.

Engadget’s recession antidote: win a copy of ExciteBots and a WiiWheel!

This whole global economic crisis, and its resulting massive loss of jobs got us thinking. We here at Engadget didn’t want to stand helplessly by, announcing every new round of misery without giving anything back — so we decided to take the opportunity to spread a little positivity.

Phoenix Motorcars undergoing restructuring, still committed to EV space

With proven success stories like Tesla struggling to keep those electric car dreams alive in today’s economy, it’s no shock to hear that at least one little guy (that’d be Phoenix Motorcars ) has caved to the pressures.

Motorola posts $291 million loss in first quarter, mobile sales fall 45 percent, Android handsets confirmed for Q4

Motorola has spilled some very unappetizing beans with its first quarter results. The company missed its projected sales figure of $5.62 billion, posting $5.4 billion, $1.8 billion of which were in its handsets division.

Samsung is back in the money, but a whole lot less than last year

Hot on the heels of Apple announcing it’s officially ripping this recession a new one and making more money than ever (hooray!), Samsung has released its financials for the first quarter and things are a little more, erm, glum.

Nintendo moves 435,000 DSi handhelds during first week in US

We already heard that the Big N managed to lighten its DSi inventory by 300,000 during the handheld’s first full weekend in America, and apparently another 135,000 procrastinators swooped in to grab one as the week finished up. Potentially more amazing, however, is the overall impact of Nintendo in the month of March.
