Xbox 360 prime-time delayed

PLENTY OF GAME launches are beginning to pop-up, due to the arrival of the silly season. If you haven't already, grab a copy of LittleBigPlanet - it's life-changing.

Xbox 360
Microsoft has delayed the launch of Xbox Live Primetime, its programmed series of interactive games with real-world prizes, until the spring.

The new Xbox Experience's Video marketplace and Netflix support has been videoed in action, and it's looking good.

The Xbox 360 has seen a 157 per cent increase in sales growth within Japan this year. Bringing the total of consoles sold to nearly 750,000 units.

Microsoft's gaming division reported better financial results this year - operating income was up 7 per cent to $178 million due to "decreased cost of revenue and sales and marketing expenses."

PS3/PSP
Sony's latest PSP-3000 has sold over 140,000 units at its Japanese launch.

This doesn't mean Sony has any plans to fix the console's annoying scan lines.

If you can't afford a PS3 yet, you could always get this PS3-styled NES clone.

Wii/DS
Joystiq has video of the new DSi in action.

Popstar's guitar-style slip-on fret sheath for the Wii controller has been pictured.

Nintendo has once again closed the loop hole that has allowed homebrew on the Wii. Give it a couple of days and it'll be wide open again.

At least there's still this simple 2GB SD-card size limit hack.

Eurogamer has the usual Wiiware and Virtual console round-up. µ
