If you have an iPhone you probably also have the lightsaber app (PhoneSaber and/orLightsaber Unleashed) or , if you’re too hardcore to admit it, you can at least admit you have heard of it. Well, soon there will be a new lightsaber app, this one called Lightsaber Duel (THQ) and it’s bluetooth enabled!

This new Star Wars nerdage-uber-app will let you pair your iPhone with a fellow nerd and fight through grueling dueling session with lightsabers belonging to 11 Star Wars characters.

True Jedi you will become.

Sony was pushing their PlayStation Move pretty heavily at the recent Game Developers Conference (GDC) in San Francisco and I was completely underwhelmed.

Look like an idiot while playing boring games...

This feels like a complete Wii ripoff, nothing more. They are even releasing the thing with a sports game compilation called…wait for it… Champion Sports. It comes with exciting games like Table tennis, bowling, golf, archery and so on.

Yay, more table tennis! *yawn*

Bah, I’m already bored playing this on the Wii, and I don’t see myself spending hundreds of dollars so I can play more of the same sports game in HD, even if Sony claims their system more accurately tracks the controller compared to Nintendo’s Wii controller.

We're like innovative and stuff.

Wired even referred to the games Sony showed off at GDC as janky, visual gimmicks and even laggy and not much fun.

Almost feels like Sony’s fumbling in the dark to keep the PS3 relevant. First they completely screw up the Playstation Home concept, probably wasting millions of dollars. Now they’re trying to bank on the Wii’s thunder by copying their success. What are they going to do next, copy Microsoft’s XBox Live service?

Sony = FAIL

Awesome site for finding repair guides, replacement parts and looking up Mac and iPhones. This can be particularly useful if buying used. Just ask for the serial number, pop it into the input field under “ID Your Mac” and you get more in-depth information about your Mac product.

Here’s what it came back with for my iPhone:
