PSP2 rumoured and dismissed

Console round-up Xbox 360 drops to £98
Monday, 22 December 2008, 10:38

THE FESTIVE SEASON is upon us, but this doesn't mean the console news is any less flowing from the ether.

Xbox 360
It seems Microsoft knew of the Xbox 360 disc scratching fault, of which INQ readers are all too aware.

Zavvi has apparently dropped the price of the Xbox 360 to £98. Don't expect to pick it up on the company's awful web-site though.

We're not sure why you'd want to do this, but you could, given instructions, convert your Xbox 360HD-DVD drive into a gun laser sight.

PS3/PSP
Rumours of a PSP-4000 and PSP2 have floated about the Interweb this week.

Though Sony has already dismissed them.

If you're jealous of the Xbox 360's pads, you can now get a 360 to PS3 joypad converter.

Wii/DS
The Wiire believes the Wiimote might get an upgrade, courtesy of a new accelerometer.

If you want a portable N64, you can now make your own, with this guide. µ

time for the Xbox 720?

Guess MS must be clearing out all made 360s before they introduce the new one and kill off the 360, just like they did with the original xbox! Just wonder if the games and support will go as fast too!? Should have got a PS2 since you can still buy them games!

I Agree Somehow

I think they are going to be planning on the next XBOX I think they've been researching hardware and maybe late next year will announce it.

I can see it been on the same level as the 360 for game development easy and simple for the programmer. More memory possibly 1GB or maybe more there's nothing wrong with the controller to be honest confortable and easy to use but they'll probably add what the PS3 and Wii controllers do 360 degree sensor movement.

Graphics should be from ATi again cause it did the job for the 360 when games where using its power and used the right game engine. The RRoD wasn't there fault it was MS and there crappy designers and it been a rushed job plus ATi have the card on the shelf which is the best at the moment still could keep the crown by next year.

Where as Sony are giving PS3 a 10 year cycle dosn't mean it PS4 will be out in another 5 years or whatever PS4 will come out and Sony will support PS3 along with it. What Sony need to do for PS4 is give it more memory and make it easier to access and provide a better dev kit for the devs are games companies. If they can do that then they won't be just creating games for MS and creating crappy ports or no game whatever so ever.

HD DVD laser pointer conversion

Whoever thought up that "mod" must be a sadist.

"Oh, and didja know that this laser will be strong enough to burn paper or light a match? Go get it."

+

"rip it apart and make a sweet-ass laser pointer/gun sight/cat teaser."

=

Right, lets put our pets on fire, burn their eyes or burn down the house.

I nominate that idea for a future Darwin Award.
