Cloud-Based Storage Coming To PS3 (But For A Premium)?
Flickr’d Word on the street is that cloud-based game save management will be coming to the PS3 beginning with firmware 3.60. Hate the idea of the cloud managing your saves?

Xbox 360 toaster mod doesn’t make toast, might deter thieves
Some people read comics or play ball when they get bored. What does a modder by the name of "akatheguy2" do? He splices an Xbox 360 with a toaster — and makes it actually look good.

Mass Effect 2 demo ready to hit the Sony PS3
Better late than never is the adage that PS3 owners will subscribe to as they hear of news of the Mass Effect 2 demo being made available to the PS3 console from next Tuesday onwards via the PlayStation Network. Once that happens, you will need to wait for around another month before the real deal is rolled out in January 18th 2011. Of course, this ...

Kinect used to control Super Mario on a PC, redefine convergence (video)
If, like us, you've been waiting to see Kinect in control of a truly marquee game, your wait has now come to an end. The same fella that brought us the Kinect lightsaber has returned with a hack enabling eager nostalgics to enjoy a bout of Super Mario controlled only by their body contortions. OpenKinect was used to get the motion-sensing peripheral -- originally intended exclusively for use with an Xbox 360 -- to communicate ...

N-Control Avenger gives your Xbox 360 controller hair triggers (video)
We happen to like our existing Xbox 360 controller, squeaky triggers and all, and though we're eagerly awaiting an improved D-pad it hadn't really occurred to us that some might prefer an overhaul. N-Control, however, has done just that with this insane lever-filled shell, which wraps around the gamepad to provide simultaneous control over a host of inputs at once. The idea is that you'll never need to take your thumbs off the analog sticks ...

Early Sales Data Shows Microsoft Sold 425K Kinects, Kinect Sports Is Top-Selling Game
In its first two days of availability Microsoft sold 475,000 Kinect units. Well, according to VG Chartz’s data , and I’m not exactly sure VG Chartz is 100 percent bulletproof. The top-selling stand-alone game (Kinect Aventures was bundled with the Xbox 360 Kinect bundle) is Kinect Sports. After that it’s Dance Central. You’ll recall that I played Dance Central at E3 , promptly making a fool out of myself in the process. I suppose if you’re looking for launch software, though, the game’s not bad. If the ...

Help Key: Watch Netflix from outside the U.S.
You Americans have all the good stuff. Stuff like BP pumping oil in the Ocean and guns, lots of guns. And then you have Netflix . Sweet Netflix. Us foreigners are wondering what it feels like to have a service like that. Now I know. In Europe we also have online movie services. They are completely useless unless you are prepared to pay 3€ ($5) for a single movie for 24 hours. The content of these services is not very satisfying either. This is of course not ...
