Special edition Stella Artois Sony PSP

August 26th 2008 08:20

The limited edition Stella Artois Sony PSP

What's beer and video games got in common I hear you say? Apart from knocking back a few schooners of our national drink - we Aussies loves our beer - over a night in with a couple of mates, kicking their backsides at Pro Evolution Soccer, there's not a lot really.

Which is why I fail to see the point of a limited edition Stella Artois PSP. By all accounts, this isn't an official Sony product but rather, the handiwork of Fosters’ - Stella Artois' parent company - sales team.

Featuring a Stella graphic on the back in place of the regular PSP logo, this limited edition Stella Artois PSP also comes in a rather nice looking pouch emblazed with the Stella logo which prevents scratching of the gadget - not sure if it's waterproof though, just in case you spill your grog in excitement of beating the high score on Puzzle Bobble!

Some 50 of these were reportedly produced for the Aussie Stella Artois sales team. Expect a few closet Toohey's drinkers to put theirs up for sale on eBay. [kotaku.com]

Nintendo Wii2 on the way and it maybe Mind Controlled

August 1st 2008 03:48

Nintendo Wii 2 in 2010?

Could it be true?

As Nintendo’s stocks go through the roof and the Wii and DS continue to sell faster than Sonic the hedgehog at full blast this week comes confirmation that rather than relax with success the Wii 2 is currently in development.

A possible Wii 2 remote

Saturo Iwata, the President of Nintendo spoke to Forbes stating that the company is “always preparing for the next hardware” but that ultimately, it’s the games and the experience that will sell a console.

“The hardware is a kind of box that consumers reluctantly buy in order to play our games,” he said. Adding that the next-gen Wii is still very much “under development.”

“It’s natural for the current customer to expect Nintendo is going to once again do something different,” he said. “If the people are expecting so many different things from Nintendo, it’s going to be difficult for us to go beyond that expectation again.”

Speculation is already amping up that “something different” may include Nintendo embracing the newly tested Neural Headset Technology effectively making the Wii 2 the first mind controlled gaming platform.

T3 magazine even ran a feature story this month exploring the possibilities of such radical technology being put on the fast track through Research and Development. The images on this page are from that latest issue of T3.

Mind Control to Major Tom

The Ultimate Porsche Experience

June 28th 2008 00:12

The Porsche 911 Turbo Wheel.

The ultimate Euroride

Whenever any kind of auto game, on a PC or PS3 has the option to race as the ultimate German Sports Car badged Porsche, in this house there is no substitute. Injecting another 500 horse power to the high octane illusion a site called Fanatec.com now sells an authentic Porsche steering wheel, 6 speed gear shift and 3 pedals clutch, brake and accelerate.

Strap yourself in and feel the G's!

The force feedback wheel is wrapped in leather so as your fingers clinch the circle of ultimate control a feeling of prestige should immediately lace the experience. The wireless pedals enhancing the driving simulation to a Porsche-centric zenith.
