Big week for the WII owners. Metroid Prime 3 comes out this week. Already positive reviews on this game so far from the ones who had a chance to play it at E3 and such.

Worst Buy


With Halo 3 coming out the need for more controllers, headsets, and other XBox 360 accessories will be high. Some people might not notice a three dollar increase charge for such things but others will. Filefront.com has the story here.

Wii like games coming to the PS2


Real Play is a series of games that will be available for the PlayStation 2. The games will come with real like plastic controllers such as a tennis racket for Real Play Tennis, golf clubs for Real Play Golf, bowling ball for Real Play Bowling, steering wheel for Real Play Racing, and others. More here from gamersquad.com.

$150 Rebate on PS3


If you sign up for a sony brand credit card and get approved you can save $150 on a PlayStation 3. Just use the credit card on the PS3. Pay it off. Waite around 10 weeks or less and get your $150 back. A 60GB PS3 will then cost you $349. That will save you money for games or controllers.

Same Price in Australia


In Australia the Wii and the XBox 360 are now the same price. Not all three versions of the 360 cost as much as the Wii but just the Core system. If this were to happen here in the States the 360 Next Gen graphics will only cost $175 more than the Last Gen graphics of the PlayStation 2. PlayStation 2 prices are now around $129.99. Could this mean that soon the WII will only cost $200 now? The Wii does have good graphics but only about halfway from XBox and the 360. Or maybe because of the motion and the new technology Nintendo had the Next Gen price set to were it should be. I guess in a new gaming generation, companies don't need to raise their prices more than $100.

New DS Add-on


A new DS add-on will make the DS not only a touch and duel screen handheld but also motion and tilt handheld as well. The tilt gaming Began from Nintendo with the release of Kirby's tilt and tumble for the Game Boy color and now will be for many games on the DS. Some of the games for the PlayStation 3 uses that same tilt technology. Slide Adventure: Mag Kid will be a bundled in game with the unit itself. No information on when and how much it will be in North America and around the world.

Hero Pack


There are lots of WII add-ons for the WII and more coming out but the one that caught my eye, other than the WII Zapper, that was just announced was the WII Hero Pack. The WII Mote snaps into the back of the Master Sword. There is a slot opening for the motion sensor on top of the WII Mote and the blade is below the sensor so it does not interfere with the motion. The trigger button is also easy to get at and the also with the other buttons. A slot in the Hero Shield where you hold the shield with is where you put the nun chuck with east access to the thumb stick and buttons. Both the sword and the shield look very cool and similar just like the real thing. Even if you don't play Zelda Twilight Princess for the WII other sword games for the WII will be fun just using the Master Sword. WII Hero Pack would also be fun for upcoming Zelda games as well. The WII Hero Pack will be out later this year for the holidays with a price tag around twenty dollars.

Rumble Packs Made into Tattoo Gun


Now in prision the inmates are creating tattoo guns with the motors from the N64 rumble pacts. "It is actually pretty easy. There are no workshops in maximum security. They do it in their rooms with a battery(power) taped to a tube(could be a pen or a tightly wound piece of paper). The motor from the rumble pack is taken out and attached to the top of the tube. A needle or pin is run down the middle of the tube. when "on" the needle will move up and down like a sewing machine. The needle is then dipped in "ink." This is made a number of ways the easiest is to use ball point pen ink, but they could use other items to get different colors or looks." More here from www.kotaku.com.
