If you're watching football you can't see the ball. If it's boxing, you don't know who is hitting who."The group's proposition is a chunky pair of futuristic-looking glasses that connect to the phone, which when worn by a viewer give the impression of watching a 30-inch (76-centimetre) television at a distance of two metres.Read the full article here.

It'll feature 60 vehicles and a small selection of the final game's tracks, and will allow up to 16 players to race against each other online. The catch: It'll set you back $40, which seems like a lot for an extended demo disc. Then again, if you're a "GT" aficionado you'd probably spend twice that for a taste of the high-def racer
