Mass Effect has just been released. The effect that the RPG game has on its audience is nothing short of — massive.

It’s just in the first two months of the year and the game from BioWare is already being touted as the best game of the year. Some are even saying that the game is even better than last year’s obvious yet unofficial winner of the title, Uncharted 2.

The game has been selling really well after it’s release. It’s prerelease is even more massive, as the preorders for Mass Effect 2 has been just really high, even exceeding the optimistic forecasts of Ray Muzyka and company from BioWare.

The reception for this exceptional series has been just overwhelming. Mass Effect was such a big hit, Mass Effect 2 has had solid reviews. It’s no wonder the sequel is doing so well in the sales aspect.

And we’ve got news for the fans of the 3rd player point of view RPG shooter that will make them just scream like little fan girls, Mass Effect 2 is part of a trilogy. And you know what that means, there will be a Mass Effect 3.

If you’re strong enough to read up to this part, and you haven’t fainted yet, you might want to check out Gadgetepoint, the gadgets and gizmos there are just too exciting, it’s almost a health hazard.

Xbox LIVE is dead
We have sad news for the fans, and those who are still users of the almost ten-year old online system of the Xbox.

Yes, Microsoft has decided to pull the plug on Xbox LIVE, and that means R.I.P. for the online engine.

The shutdown will start off by the immediate discontinuation of auto-renewals for the gamers which are still subscribing to the online service through of the original Xbox.

The execution of this this grim fate for the Xbox LIVE is due on April 2010.

“While I can’t comment on the specifics, this change will allow us to continue evolving the LIVE service with new features and experiences that fully harness the power of Xbox 360 and the Xbox LIVE community… We did not make this decision lightly, but after careful consideration and review we realize that this decision will allow us unprecedented flexibility for future features.” says Larry Hyrb from Microsoft.

The guys holding on to the Xbox LIVE membership just to hold on to the console and play Halo 2 online will be greatly dismayed by this news from Microsoft.

Xbox LIVE is no longer live.

The guys from Microsoft are saying that this decision was based on their desire to harness the features and maximize the full power of the Xbox 360.

Frustrated by the sad loss? Perhaps some retail therapy? Gadgetepoint will give you your gadget fix.

If you’re having problems with your printer doesn’t have ink, the most suitable solution to this problem is to probably to just get ink right? It’s as simple as that.

But the guys from Japan, the wonderful country of many wonderful gadgets, has proposed a possible alternative solution if you are inkless. Given the fact that you are inkless, instead of buying ink, why not buy a printer that doesn’t use ink?

And here comes a J-Pop song playing in the background — and in all it’s animated glory comes the PrePeat printing system.

Though the website and the product page’s Engrish is hard to understand for those who do not speak the Engrish language, basing on what can be deciferable from the websites page is that the printer is able to print without ink because of its special type of paper.

We could be 100% wrong though, as we’re still polishing our Engrish speaking skills

Assuming that we understood some parts of the product correctly, this product can do so much for the environment as users will tend to recycle the paper (which is expensive by the way), at least, it’s water-proof

The major turn-off about the the product is it costs more that 5,000 dollars.or half a million yen!

We say: Next Pu-rease in our developing and almost-there Engrish accent.

If your pocket is not ready for the PrePeat printing system, the gadgets from Gadgetepoint, will not burn a hold on your pocket.

When we think of cell phone light, we think of the light that enables us to see the LCD screens or some cell phones even have flashlights, that’s common. But what the Machismo did is that it stretched the idea of Cell Phone light — instead it’s a Light-er.

Flipping what looks like a camera cover at the back of the Machismo will give you a cigarette lighter.

Aside from that, it also has different features like a 1.3 megapixel camera, video camcorder, an mp3 and mp4 player.. This phone by Chinavision also is enabled by Bluetooth connectivity.

Did we mention that it has a 2.5 inch touchscreen display, for a price that will not exceed $70?

Don’t worry, the cell phone lighter is not gas operated. That would just be scary. There is a heating element in the lighter that is electronically activated; just slide the safety latch and smoke away.

But doesn’t it make you wonder about the safety of this product? Aren’t Li-ion batteries highly flammable?

Though the price is highly enticing, you wouldn’t want to lose all your saved contacts when the phone is consumed in flames. Another graphic picture: when you light cigarettes, your place your face at a comfortable distance from the lighter. Imagine if that’s the time, the Machismo fails you. Tsk. Tsk. Tsk.

If you’re planning to buy this, wait for further feedback on the product. Safety first!

Safety first — that’s one of the mottos of Gadgetepoint. We make sure that the products we sell are super safe.

Cherry, cherry is the new boom! Perhaps it is Lady Gaga who made cherries more enticing. It does not end with Lady GaGa though. Nikon is biting the cherry (craze) so to speak with the introduction of the cherry black Nikon Coolpix L110.

The Body of the Nikon Coolpix L110 is so deliciously red, it is tempting! However, features-wise it remains very similar to the NIkon L100, the only glaring difference the Nikon Coolpix L110 has from the older, 2009 Nikon L100 model is that the Nikon Coolpix comes in cherry black! It still runs on four AA batteries, much like its previous older model. It keeps the 15X optical zoom lens (28-420mm) with sensor-shift stabilization and the 3-inch LCD.

The changes in the features are the sensor goes up from 10mp to 12mp, the battery life CIPA estimate drops, It features the now popular 720p video mode.

For those who want to get their hands on the trendy cherry black Nikon L110, Amazon pre-orders them for $280.

We have many vintage cameras for those with really discerning and classic taste. You will know immediately why some things remain timeless.

Free USB flash drives? Why not?

“Nay” says MI5’s Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure.

In a 14 page restricted report by MI5, the security service has accused the far eastern world giant, China, of implanting bugs and stealing information from British business executives.

The USB freebie from certain Chinese spies are intended to blackmail the UK business moguls to divulge confidential commercial information.

The bugs contained in these USB flash drives and even some of their giveaway cameras, according to the MI5, were found to contain Trojan bugs which provide the Asian hackers access to the computers that they have infected.

“Any UK company might be at risk if it holds information which would benefit the Chinese,” stated the report.

The report from the British security service warns businessmen of hotel rooms in many Chinese cities such as Beijing and Shanghai as they are likely to be bugged by cameras as well.

Nothing would stop the Chinese from getting information that would benefit them. They’ve been trying to lure in prominent names with sexual favors just to get what they need.

We say, “nay!”, to reports such as these. These would just tarnish the already iffy diplomatic relationship between the world giants.

Gadgetepoint never discriminates. It’s a place where everyone can purchase gadgets and gizmos. Whether you’re from China or UK, our worldwide delivery system will get to you.
