Wii firmware reads burned DVDs and emulates PSP

ROCK BAND 2 has been spotted and tested by Engadget but we can't help wondering if it's all going a little bit far.

Xbox 360
Joystiq has a video walk-through of the new Xbox 360 dashboard.

Blu-ray on Xbox looks even more unlikely with further comments emanating from Microsoft coming from T3.

According to Videogaming247 MGS4 is inevitable on the Xbox 360.

Xbox-scene.com has news on a new module that will allow further keyboard and mouse input for your 360.

PS3/PSP
Sony Computer Entertainment America CEO Jack Tretton says Sony has considered putting a hard-drive into the PSP, according to Kotaku.

It seems Playstation Home's areas will be region-locked according to Joystiq.

Wii/DS
A new homebrew firmware release will allegedly allow the reading of burned-DVDs without the need for a mod chip or similar hardware.

News and public releases of the firmware have been sighted at Waninkoko.

In a separate homebrew announcement, which hasn't yet been confirmed, a PSP emulator for a homebrew-equipped Wii has been spotted.

After a brilliant NES mod that pushed an emulator into a tiny NES cart, someone has managed to now cram similar equipment into a NES controller.

Nintendo's Eguchi has revealed to Eurogamer that future revisions of the Wii remote could have the newMotionplus technology built-in.

However, Engadget wasn't impressed with the device.

Logitech has shown a new cordless keyboard off at E3, for your Wii. µ
