We have five spaces for Three Speech readers to go and view a demo of Unreal Tournament 3 on the PlayStation 3, given by an EPIC employee, this Thursday (08:11:07) in Birmingham. Bar industry insiders you will be the first members of the public to view the game in the UK. There are also lots of other UT3 happenings on the day, so there will be lots to see.
You would need to get yourself to gaming haven Omega Sektor, which is at 98 Corporation Street in Brimingham for 12:00, with the demo starting at 12:30 and lasting half an hour.
Send your name to [email protected] if you would like to go in the draw and five names will be selected randomly tomorrow afternoon.
There’s a new PlayStation 2 to be released in the new year (exact release date tbc), which will be available in three colours - ‘Charcoal Black’, ‘Ceramic White’ and ‘Satin Silver’. Hit the jump to view the other colours.

In his latest article in a series about supercomputing, Dazed & Confused technology editor Chris Hatherill looks at the more sinister side of supercomputers…
In the future, according to Hugo de Garis and other Terminator and Matrix scenario believers, machines could overtake humans as the dominant life form on earth. Called, variously, intelligent machines, artificial intelligences or ‘artilects’, these systems could wipe out the human race without even noticing, or meaning to – it may simply be evolution.
Others, including award-winning photographer Simon Norfolk, point out that such machines are already among us, in the form of today’s most powerful supercomputers. His series, documenting military supercomputers around the world, is entitled “I’m sorry Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that” in reference to the HAL 9000 supercomputer in Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey. As he writes in the introduction, “the problem is not that these computers might one day resemble humans; it is that they already resemble gods.”
Here are the dates for the second leg of the PlayStation 3 tour. It will be the same as the first half of the tour, with 60 second, five minute, ten minute and 15 minute long workshops. Check it out if you are in any of the areas below.
