Early Access for Sifteo Game Cubes

Sifteo announced an early access program for its clever game cubes at the Consumer Electronics Show today. The company’s 1.5-inch cubes feature a color display and can interact with each other for games and educational play. The Early Access package includes three Sifteo cubes and USB wireless link for $99 ($50 off the anticipated price).

The starter pack, shipping at some point in the first quarter of 2011, also includes 1,000 game store points, 50% off a future Sifteo purchase, and a limited edition T-shirt. This is the only way you can get your hands on these hot little cubes before their national availability this fall. The first batch of Early Access packs is gone but you can sign up to be notified when they will be available again.

Sifteo was born out of the MIT Media Lab. It got its first big exposure at a TED Talk by CEO David Merrill in 2009. They were then known as Siftables.

I could talk all day long about these fun little devices but the best way is to show you. Head on over to Sifteo.com for a brief video demonstrating this remarkable new game system. Hopefully we can get our hands on a set of these so we can bring you a full review.
