It’s not just the Japanese getting some 250GB PlayStation3 love; Sony US have announced that there’s a 250GB version of the PS3 Slim incoming for their gamers too. The 250GB PS3 Slim will land on November 3rd, and be functionally identical to its existing 120GB sibling; unlike in Japan, there’ll be no bundled games or unusual color editions.
Logitech have announced their latest QWERTY ‘board, the Logitech Gaming Keyboard G110, complete with custom key backlighting and an integrated USB soundcard for directly connecting a headset and microphone. The Gaming Keyboard G110 has both blue and red LEDs, which can also be mixed together for purple shades, as well as a cluster of gaming shortcuts and macro buttons.
Gaming notebooks are getting more powerful all the time making gaming with a laptop actually something that many gamers are able to do. The catch is that a track pad is not the way gamers want to control their characters on screen and a full size mouse kills some of the portability of a mobile gaming machine. You may recall back in July that Razer announced a new mobile gaming mouse called the Orochi.
From a skinny whippet of an ultraportable to an altogether chunkier model, BFG’s Deimos X-10 SLI Gaming Notebook doesn’t particularly lend itself to narrow tote bags but if you want to do some serious gaming while on the move then this is your beast. The Deimos X-10 packs an 18.4-inch 16:9 1920 x 1080 display and can be built with dual NVIDIA GeForce GTX 280M 1GB graphics card in an SLI setup.
Knock-off consoles are always good for a cheap, moderately cheerful laugh, and so we’re surprised its taken the Chinese cloners this long to come up with a decent PSP Go copy. The PXP-2000 “borrows” the distinctive stylings of Sony’s latest handheld, but throws in a camera good for stills and 3GP video capture, an FM radio and NES/Famicom emulator.
It’s hard to believe it is October already and the leaves are already falling off the trees. Another week come and gone and today I am back with another week in review for your perusal. We found out early this week that the Palm Pre is still headed to Verizon according to an insider. The alleged insider didn’t give any word on when exactly this may happen.
Sony’s PSP firmware v6.10 isn’t the only thing to go out today: the company has also launched the PSP Go. The new handheld – the first PSP from Sony not to include a physical UMD media slot – is available today in the US, with an MRSP of $249.99.
If you couldn’t quite see the point of the ODROID Android-based handheld, how about some delicious retro gaming to hammer it home? Manufacturers Hardkernel have pointed us in the direction of a video showing a SNES emulator running on the ODROID, and our trigger-fingers are already itching at the thought of Space Megaforce.
While integrated 3G connectivity was tipped for inclusion in the PSP Go back in its rumor days, in the end Sony went for the simple route and just gave their handheld WiFi and Bluetooth. Thanks to PSP update v6.10, that Bluetooth can be used to tether the Go to a cellphone, meaning connectivity isn’t just limited to wherever you can find a WiFi hotspot.
Microsoft have announced two gaming bundles for the upcoming holiday season, one including their Xbox 360 and the other intended for those who already own the console. The Xbox 360 Elite Holiday Bundle pairs the console with two games, LEGO Batman and Pure, and is priced at $299.
