Tired of walking all the time for charging your controller to your PS3 console? Are you too lazy to leave the comfort of your sofa or bed? Don’t worry, the Nyko PS3 base charger is there to save you from the extra effort of walking to your console all the time to charge your controller. As you perhaps know now if you own a PS3 that the USB cord that is meant to charge the controllers is too short for you to both simultaneously play and charge them at the same time.

During the recent Tokyo Game Show (TGS) Kaz Hirai demonstrated some new features of PS3. You could turn it on or get it to sleep mode remotely through the net. Some future firmware update should enable these features.

In more remote applications feature, he demonstrated how a PSP could become a second screen in games like Formula1 racing as also as additional controllers for the PS 3. It should be possible to connect multiple PS3s to each other and view multimedia on remote consoles in near enough future. Multiple PSPs could act as PS 3 controllers.

What Next ?
Wait for google to make i-Phone do some thing even better

The Playstation 3 prices are going to be lowered. Sony Computer Entertainment Europe seems to just confirm what we knew already. They do not call it a price cut though, according to them this is a new model! Sounds familiar!

The “new” 40 GB, HDD PS 3 will hit SCEE territories on Oct 10 at Euro 399 with SIXAXIS wireless controller, HDMI, 2 USB ports rather than 4, WiFi and no multi memory card port. It’s not going to be backwards compatible to PS 2.

The 60 GB HDD model will now sell for Euro 499 until stocks run out, may be they are emptying their stock and then discontinue that in European territory. I’ll check that and if that’s what is going to happen in these parts too. Stay tuned!!!

You win some and then lose some. Often it may be better to put your foot in the mouth than putting them in the hands of the gamers. They probably know better than to take you seriously anyway! Particularly, when you call force feedback as something of a “last generation feature”.

Enter Playstation 3 DUALSHOCK wireless controller. Announced in Tokyo yesterday as a standalone accessory in November in Japan and by Spring 2008 in the North America and Europe. Welcome back force feedback, we sure did miss ya.

Well according to EA sports, Madden NFL 2008 will just render 30 FPS in the PlayStation 3 version while it will be around 60 FPS in the XBox 360 version which is double the amount. Well this doesn’t mean that the PlayStation 3 version of Madden NFL 08 isn’t unplayable due to its lower frame rate, it’s just that the XBox 360 version is preferred for its smoother animations and good frame rates.

This difference is due to vast hardware differences between the two consoles and it’s difficult for the game manufacturers to create a game for both the new consoles with new technology.

August arrived and now we have the 80GB Playstation 3 due on sale. Unfortunately a specific date didn’t came from the Sony PR team. But looks like that GameStop / EB Games are stacking up the $599 console that will bundle with MotoStorm.
