Yes, ladies and gents, it is time to find out everything you wanted to know about the new 300 USD slim PlayStation console that made its first appearance yesterday at GC2009. It has been a long wait, I know, it has! Full of rumors, makeshift stories and promises that we thought Sony would never keep. And, to an extent, it did not. Find out about my disappointment.OK, onward with the facts. Featuring the same charcoal black coloring, a 120GB Hard Disk Drive and a price of 299 USD (or 299 Euros because us Europeans are oh... [read more >>] Up until now, we’ve been able to go through quite a large number of rumors regarding a possible upcoming, slimmer version of Sony’s already famous PS3 gaming console, a move that made quite a lot of sense, especially since Sony applied the same tactics with its previous iteration, the PS2 model. And , sure enough, at Gamescom 2009, Sony did not disappoint the large crowd gathered for its press event, by officially introducing the significantly slimmer and more attractive PS3 Slim.While information is still scarce for the time being (and we’ll promise to bring you an update as soon as Sony decides to let some more... [read more >>] Everyone (yours truly included) has been waiting like... forever for the new StarCraft installment to come out. But until that happens, all we can do is dream and play over and over again campaigns from the first game and its expansions. Oh, and yeah, we should also check out the new gaming surfaces (a.k.a mouse pads) from SteelSeries, which have been specifically designed with the fresh Blizzard title in mind.Hence, the pads from the new line of gaming surfaces feature art from Blizzard Entertainment’s StarCraft II, and are available in two models, for now, namely the QcK Limited Edition Terran Marine and Kerrigan vs. Zeratul edition... [read more >>] Despite the fact that each of the world's three most important video gaming consoles are strongly attached to some iconic colors (black for the PS3, pearly white for the Nintendo Wii and white for the Microsoft Xbox 360), every now and then, their manufacturers come up with special editions, which offer a fairly limited number of different colored consoles.However, this won't be the case at all with the Wii, since Nintendo just announced the fact that an all-black Wii was heading towards the market as we speak and should arrive in stores on August 1. This is the first major color revision of the Wii since the gaming console was or... [read more >>] I'm pretty sure everyone can admit that the PSP Go! didn't impress anyone to the point that they said “Yeah, man, this thing has enough novelty to it so as to make me buy it when it comes out.” However, the latest Sony handheld was not the only thing Sony introduced. It also brought the first working prototype of the rumored Motion Sensing Controller. And trust me, my friends, this might be the best motion controller yet.Let me explain to you exactly why. The maker’s latest controller looks like a wand with buttons and a ball that changes color on top of the wand. The ball is what makes the magic happen: working ... [read more >>] Remember that there was a rumored Xbox 360 motion controller being designed as a peripheral to the current Xbox 360? Well, guess what: the rumor has been confirmed and the motion controller, codenamed “Natal,” has come to E3 in the form of a live demonstration, as well as a video. Keep on reading for more juicy details.Natal is definitely planning to be a Wii killer, with the video (courtesy of Joystiq) showing off a skateboarding game where a boy mimics the movements he would make if he were on a skateboard and also a racing game where we have a girl mimicking the movements of a steering wheel and her father virtually changing ... [read more >>] While the PS3 has been around for quite a while now, it's still an upgradeable machine, Sony's engineers constantly working on all sorts of software solutions that will improve the gaming console's stability, usability and, ultimately, the users' experience. Today, Sony has made available yet another update to the PS3's firmware, update v2.60, which brings some pretty interesting innovations to the table, including here a very useful Photo Gallery application.First announced yesterday by Eric Lempel, Director for the PlayStation Network Operations, in a post on the Playstation Blog, the firmware update has now becom... [read more >>] I'm pretty sure that quite a lot of gamers out there have wished, at some point, that they were able to use the same controller for various gaming systems. For example, an Xbox 360 controller on a PS3, a SixAxis on the Wii, and so on. However, it would seem that at least one possibility has gone beyond the “wishful thinking” stage, as a very innovative software application might open the way for the PS3 controllers (both the SixAxis and the DualShock3) to be safely used for controlling PC games.Hence, a few days ago, the webmaster of the DCEmu forums posted online several software applications supposed to make the PS3 contr... [read more >>] Have you ever noticed how people come up with all kinds of strange ideas when they have nothing to do? I suppose (might be wrong here) this was the case with an user going by the name of RDC on the xbox-scene.com board. He had an old iMac laying around and decided to go ahead and retrofit his Xbox 360 with a slot-in DVD drive. So he dismantled the iMac, took out the poor slot-in drive and began the heartless operation of taking it apart piece by piece, but not before checking out how it actually works. Compared to regular tray drives, the spindle and sled are stationary since the top part does all the work. The first problem appeared when ... [read more >>] |
