” Runco ” and “cheap” have never, ever been used correctly in the same sentence before, but being elite apparently doesn’t mean that you can just turn a blind eye to rambling bandwagons. With just about every other projection company flipping out 3D -ready alternatives, Runco has decided it best to follow suit.

The Halo series is no stranger to special edition Xbox 360 hardware , so it should come as no surprise that the latest entry, Halo: Reach , is also privy to such treatment. What makes it special, however, is that it’s the first special edition based on the new model — 250GB HDD, built-in 802.11n WiFi, a silver (presumably matte, based on the picture) finish, and custom, Halo-inspired sounds.

You won’t be coloring us shocked if this plays out exactly as rumored, but word on the street has it that Panasonic will be busting out a consumer-level 3D camcorder as early as next week. ‘Course, this is a company that already has a built-to-order 3D camcorder available to those with just over 20 large in need of a new home, and with the 3D push happening at a breakneck pace, it was just a matter of time before one of the big boys came along and served up an option for the Average Joe / Jane.

Here’s a tidbit in today’s Microsoft quarterly earnings that we previously overlooked: a $240 million cost of revenue “primarily… resulting from the discontinuation of the Kin phone, offset in part by decreased Xbox 360 console costs.” In other words, the company took at least a quarter billion hit due to manufacturing, distribution, and support costs of the Kin (according to Microsoft’s definition of “cost of revenue”)
