The Xbox 360 Arcade bundle may be packaged with a motion controller and some motion controlled mini games. The bundle, which is expected to be released this holiday season is expected to be in direct competition with the Wii.

The Wii sensor bar is one of those essential things that modders can’t help but tinker with. One Wii fan has turned an old remote control for a television into a Wii sensor bar. The sensor bar works exactly the same as the traditional Wii sensor bar, except it now looks like a remote control.
We may be seeing a price cut coming to Xbox 360 consoles in the coming weeks. A leaked Radio Shack advert has Xbox 360 consoles taking the price drop the week of September 7th.

If you’ve been itching to add a little color to your Wii then Nintendo may have the answer for you. Nintendo will be releasing colored straps for Wii controllers in September.
Right now the straps are slated to only be released in Japan, although we imagine they’ll make their way over to Europe and the US soon enough.
Currently the straps which come in green, blue, pink, and white are expected to sell for $3 each, or $10 for a four pack with all four of the colors included.
Do you think there’s a market for colored Wii controller straps? Obviously Nintendo thinks they will sell well, but are they something that you would consider buying, or do you like your Wii remote just the way it is?
