120GB and 160GB PS3s are on the way
CONSOLE MODDING is a dangerous game, and one UK modder was recently arrested on the suspicion of running an illegal PSP memory card and chipping business. Authorities found over £12,000 in unlikely places.
The cash was stored in one original Xbox holding £5,925, and three PS2s with £2,835, £2,025 and £1,425 respectively. More at Videogamer.com.
Wii/DS
As part of an in-depth
Gamasutra
feature analyzing Wii prospects in 2008,Wedbush Morgan's Michael Pachter has
suggested a $199 Wii without Wii Sports would give Nintendo its best chance of
success this year.
We suggest building more Wiis and getting them onto store shelves.
Nyko has revealed a cord-free adapter for the Wii Nunchuck, for those who really hate cables.
While Nintendo has revealed plans to make the DS into an e-book reader.
Which would look exceptionally nice on the new Cobalt Blue DS expected to hit store shelves at the end of Feb.
PS3/PSP
Sony has released a new software update for PSP that allows owners of the Slim
& Lite model to make phone calls via Skype.
Sony has teamed up with tech company Nichia to develop a smaller, cheaper Blu-ray laser unit, which may eventually result in cheaper PS3s. More at Tech.co.uk.
Not only are we expecting the 80GB PS3 SKU to disappear, according to Ars technica, we should also expect 120 and 160GB models with Dual Shock 3 controllers. There there are no plans to introduce the models to the UK. Yet.
Xbox 360
Microsoft's chief financial advisor Chris Liddell has revealed that Xbox 360
owners are purchasing on average seven games per unit – a figure he
claims
is a console record.
Rez HD emerged on Xbox Live Arcade today, and we suggest you grab it as soon as you can. So does Eurogamer.
While Sony has been shrinking Blu-ray lasers (above), Microsoft has been discussing its possible future use of the technology. One vole claims Microsoft has been talking to Blu-ray about the possibility of a partnership all along.
How convenient now HD-DVD is almost dead. µ

Geesh. Seven? Our various and assorted consoles (PS2, PSP, DS, Wii) have roughly 40 game titles per model.

Or, not and. Read the link again. The 80GB SKU will be replaced by either a 120GB model OR a 160GB model. Sony has a 2-SKU business plan for PS3.
"we are expecting the 80GB PS3 SKU to disappear, according to Ars technica, we should also expect 120 and 160GB models"

Along with an over inflated price tag I imagine, console HDD tend to have far less gigs per £ compared to their PC counterparts.
Is nintendo aware of the screen resolution (256 x 192) of their DS(-lite)? ebookreader indeed.. let's be realistic, phonenumber reader maybe, and perhaps with an effort shoppinglist reader, note-reader sure ok, but not ebookreader surely.

Although it is true that it has 2 screens and some clever coding could improve navigation in the text over other smallscreen readers I guess,

(the inq comment editbox is 294x181 incidentally)

The romanian wii/psX/xbox owners also suggest to MICROSOFT CORPORATION, SONY CORPORATION, NINTENDO, to give access to their online services.
