    Speaking at the Executive’s Club of Chicago, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer announced that a new Xbox 360 will be hitting store shelves next year. That’s pretty funny because Aaron Greenberg denied the whole thing a few days ago. So, we will see a Natal Xbox 360 next year according the head honcho. via TG Daily

    Video: Sony’s PSP Go leaks out before E3, is obviously a go

    digg_url = 'http://digg.com/gadgets/Sony_s_PSP_Go_leaks_out_before_E3_PICS'; Look up there, folks. That's the future of Sony's hopes and dreams in the handheld gaming sector. With just hours to go before the company's official E3 2009 press event, it looks like the pieces are all coming together. First a UMD-less game release, then a highly credible mole giving the PSP Go a name, and now -- live action shots. The images here were sourced from an obviously slipped June 2009 Qore video, and aside from giving us a look at the slider-based system (which, let's be honest, looks a ton like the questionably successful mylo), we're also told that it'll tout 16GB of internal memory, built-in Bluetooth and an undisclosed memory slot. If all goes well, it'll ship this Fall for a price to be determined, and it's actually not slated to replace the PSP-3000, as both of 'em will attempt to live on store shelves harmoniously... at least for awhile. Oh, and don't worry -- we'll be on hand in LA to bring you all the impressions we can muster early next week.

    [Via PlayStation Forums, thanks Matt and A1]

    Update: Video is now after the break! Thanks adizzy615!

    Update 2: Official press shots have emerged. [Via Engadget Spanish]

    Update 3: A few more official specifications are flowing from the full Qore video (pardon the sync issues). Here's the dirt:
    • 3.8-inch display (resolution is undisclosed)
    • 43 percent lighter than the PSP-3000
    • 16GB of Flash storage
    • Bluetooth built-in; supports handset tethering and BT headsets
    • No UMD drive
    • Memory Stick Micro slot
    • New Gran Turismo, Little Big Planet and new Metal Gear Solid (!) on the way
    • Full PlayStation Network support (movie and TV rentals / purchases)
    • Integration with PlayStation 3 (works the same as the PSP-3000 does)
    • Sony views each of its products as "10-year lifecycle products," so the PSP "needs to live on."

  • Mad Catz’s wireless Fender Rock Band bass to ship soon

    Mad Catz’s wireless Fender Rock Band bass to ship soon

    Posted on May 29, 2009 | No Comments

    Just when you'd given up all hope that Mad Catz would ever ship its Fender Precision Bass for Rock Band, in flies this. If you'll recall, said axe was originally introduced to the world in September of last year, and with a certain Beatles-inspired bass set to ship in the ninth month of this year, Mad Catz obviously felt the time was right to cease its dilly-dallying. According to company CEO Darren Richardson, the wireless Fender bass for Rock Band will ship "later this month," which should mean that it'll be hitting store shelves over the weekend. In related news, the company has inked a multi-year licensing agreement with Microsoft that will allow it to "manufacture, market and sell Xbox 360-branded wireless specialty videogame controllers." Fun for them, yeah?

    It's the rumor that refuses to go away: the next Sony PSP. Well, E3 is next week, thank God, and you should absolutely expect to see it, henceforth referred to as the PSP Go!, debut at Sony's press conference. It will be UMD-less (you can hear developers cheering), and possibly cheaper. That, and the slimmed down PS3 is real, too.

  • Guitar Hero 5 slated for September launch

    Guitar Hero 5 slated for September launch

    Posted on May 27, 2009 | No Comments
    Activision has declared war against the most popular band of all freakin’ time. The fifth installment in the Guitar Hero franchise (aside from the band specific titles) goes on sale September 1st, which is eight days before The Beatles: Rock Band hits store shelves. Oh boy! If I were a betting man, I’d say the The Beatles are going to sweep this round.
