Wii Extensions are rolling in thick and fast. This time its add-ons to your Nintendo Wiimotes. We heard a lot after the flying Wii remotes about the gloves that were made for sweaty palms so you can be in control of the remote all the time.
Brando has come up with very interesting new additions to their store, and its a ‘Sports pack’. The Sports pack will include extensions like a tennis racket, a gold stick, a basebal bat and one more thing which looks like a sword but i am still confused about that one!
These extensions will cost you around $22 and is not going to empty your pockets for sure. Its just how much are you going to buy to dec up your Wii. One of the best 3rd party extensions going around is the steering wheel for playing all the car racing games on your Nintendo Wii. One of these also comes with a couple of free games like Ubisoft GT Pro Series and 4×4: World Circuit.
So go out there and dress up your Wii as if you were taking it to the prom!

Well, we have not quite got over the Xbox 360 in the markets but Microsoft is thinking way ahead if rumors are to be belived (along with leaked photos). Earlier it was thought that the Xbox 360 would feature a HDMI port but to everyones dissapointment it didn’t. Its not the first time Microsoft have disappointed us with some feautres (remember the incompetence Wi-Fi in the Zune).
What we have now got on our hands thanks to Engadget are possibly leaked photos of the second generation Xbox 360. There is no jumping the gun, as we have not seen a lot of photos but there is one there which shows a dedicated HDMI port on the back of the XBOX 360 console. HDMI will enable you to get much better quality with your 1080p television sets, if you guys actually have one.
Other details that have been talked about is the possible increase in HDD capacity to 120 gigs and they might even look at giving you a built-in Wi-Fi instead of buying one.
For all you PS3 fans out there, some more good news is waiting for you. If you have been waiting and deciding which gaming console to buy, the new MediaBoard from Logitech might just push you to the PlayStation conner.
The Logitech MediaBoard (looks very much like a Keyboard, by the looks of it) is a cordless controller for your PlayStation 3. It can be connected via Bluetooth to your console and you can enjoy gaming on them if you feel the gamepads they offer are too uncomfortable. The Mediaboard comes with a built in trackpad and a scrollbar.
The price you’ll have to pay for one of these is close to $80. In any case, Sony have announced that you can pair any other keyboard with the PS3 soon enough (after they release an update), but a MediaBoard will surely do no harm for your pleasure. So if you have the extra dough lying around, go buy yourself one of these along with the Sony PS3s.

Lets have a look at a great resource for all your Xbox 360 lovers. Off late we have been raving about the PS3 and the Nintendo Wii, with Xbox 360 getting the least of our attention. Well its time now we have a look at a facility which will help all you 360 lovers.
There is a website doing the rounds on Digg called, DashboardThemes.com which provides you with a sneak preview to the Dashboard Xbox 360 themes. The site has every single theme you can imagine and I assume it has been approved by the guys from Microsoft. There is a good ranking system there by which you can sort out the themes according to popularity or date and various other parameters.
DasboardThemes are soon going to add an entire catalog which will include screenshots and demos too. At the moment they don’t offer you demos but its not too far in my opinion.
So before you go out there and buy your Xbox 360 theme, make sure you have a look here and don’t make a pre-mature decision because style keeps changing!

According to reports from Businessweek and also a few reports we have managed to catch on other gaming websites the PS2 is very likely to ‘Out Do’ the PS3 this year.
There has been a huge hype regarding Play Station 3 sales and how there is much larger demand than supply, but people are still loving the old Playstation and thats a fact. Its still good fun to play the old one, plus you get it cheaper too. Other factors like, very few games have taken to the PS3 at this moment in time and that will take some time too.
Infact people are also saying that the PS2 would be the favorite amongst all consoles, beit the Xbox, Xbox 360 or even the Nintendo Wii. The Businessweek report goes on to say that this trend might go till mid 2008, where the sales figures and other aspects will be re-assessed.
