Price: $21.99
Overview : Fully Compatible with Xbox 360™, Wii™, PS3™ , PS2™ and any TV system with component input. The Final High-Definition Solution for all your Next Generation Gaming Consoles. Avoid the Hassle of switching cables behind your television or dealing with tangled cables from all your Consoles, not to mention the saving from buying 1 cable instead of 3. Support D2 (480i/480p); (720i/720p) & D4 (1080i/ 1080p) technology. Actual resolution displayed will be determined by the technology supported by the Console in use.
The three AV plugs for each console should NOT be connected to their respective consoles simultaneously. Only one console should be connected for the cable to function properly. If more than one consoles are connected, even if it is set to "off" loss of audio or video may occure, but there will not be any damages done to the console.
Cable is 8 foot long or 2.4 meter in length.

Quality/Usability : This is the second multi-console component cable we will be reviewing. The first review coming from XCM. We have reviewed a couple of Penguin United's Wii Component Cables already (Regular / Gold / Premium). All of them were pretty good for a new 3rd party peripheral manufacturer.
There are three plugs for your console: Xbox360, Wii, PS2/PS3. On the other end are the AV inputs that connect to your TV. Unlike the XCM multi-console component cable, there is no switch on the cable that allows you to switch to whatever system you are going to play with. You will have to plug each plug into the system if you want to play with the console.
The visual quality of each system is pretty good when connected one by one. I didnt notice much of a difference between this cable or the standalone component cable that you purchase separately for each system.
The cable itself is fairly long measuring approximately 8 feet long. The cables for each console once split from the cable itself is fairly long enough but you will still have to have your consoles near each other.
Conclusion : Overall, the Penguin United PS2/PS3/Wii/Xbox360 Multi-Console Component Cable is another alternative to those looking to eliminate cables and is looking for a all-in-one source. The quality of the product is great just like all of the other products Penguin United offers. My only complaint was having to insert the plug into the console I want to play each time. Would of been nice if there was a switch of some sort where I can easily switch back and forth without having to keep on removing the cables.

For the last 2 weeks all shipments of wiikey have included a hologram sticker to help distinguish clones from originals. It is designed to be put on the wii case, in the same fashion as license stickers are used. A picture will follow soon!
Although WiiKey does not have images available at the moment due to recent hard disk failure, NeoAsic has images of the hologram stickers here.

it seems thats Nintendo has warned Korea of piracy.
The giant game maker Nintendo has given Korea a strong warning against piracy of its game consoles and programs here. The Japanese game maker on Thursday vowed tougher legal action against Korean copiers of its game machines and programs. It is the first time Nintendo has issued such a strong warning against the violation of its copyright.
It plans to take legal action even against websites that simply turn a blind eye to illegal downloading as well as makers and sellers of copied products. A spokesman of Nintendo Korea expressed concern about the losses to the company from piracy.

Do you remember seeing that unique, one of a kind, Nintendo Wii with the Zelda Sword and Shield for sale on eBay that went for over $1,200? Here is an image to refresh your memory...
Well, now that same seller has done pretty much the same for the Nintendo DS. He took a Onyx Nintendo DS Lite, painted it gold, added a Zelda Shield with LED lights and painted the charger gold to match the DS Lite. The shield will only light up when it is charging in the dock to save battery life during play.
Here is the link to his eBay auction.

Sony PSP-290 GPS Receiver
Manufacturer: Sony
Site : Buy from Goldenshop
Price: $59.99
Overview : The position measurement system “GPS which utilizes the radio wave from the satellite (Global Positioning System)” in PSP®. PSP® furthermore evolves conveniently by combining PSP® exclusive use “GPS receiver” with the corresponding software. The various software appear, from practical tool such as navigation software and the action game which utilize the function only of GPS to the game.
Specs :- Reception frequency: 1575.42Mhz (L1 band, C/A cord/code)
- Reception method: Channel 20
- Reception sensitivity: Pursuit: - 153dBm; Supplementation: - 140dBm
- Determination renewal time: Approximately 1 second
- Determination precision: 5m (2DRMS, - 130dBm)
- External size: Approximately 45 × 41 × 17mm (width x height x depth)
- Mass: Approximately 16g
- Contents ones: GPS receiver ×1; Private case ×1
Software that uses GPS Receiver (Japanese games only) :- Portable Homestar (SEGA)
- Metal Gear Solid Portable OPS (Konami)
- Hot Shots Golf 2 (aka Minna no Golf Ba - SONY)
- MAPLUS: Portable Navi (Edia)
- Minna no Map 2 (Zenrin)
- MapThis! (Homebew app by Deniska)
Quality/Usability : Sony released the PSP-290 GPS Receiver in Japan in March 2006. Since than, no other country has received the GPS device. Software? Japan only. The only map applications released for the PSP-290 was MAPLUS: Portable Navi and Minna no Map 2 which were released only in Japan. A couple of games also use the GPS device, Metal Gear Solid Portable OPS, Hot Shots Golf 2 and Portable Homestar. Games will also work in the US and US games (if available) as well but is aimed more towards Japanese gamers as the PSP-290 is only released in Japan.
North America and Europeans were left out to scratch their heads and wonder to themselves, when are we going to get our own? There is no release date planned. With that said, since Sony has not released this product anywhere other than Japan, this review is only based on the use of MapThis! by DCEmu's very own, Deniska. While the application is still being worked on everyday, it is not perfect. Deniska and other contributors are working hard each day trying to improve MapThis! and include features for future versions.
You can make your own maps from Google Maps or Microsoft Virtual Earth by using in7ane's Window map download tool here.
The PSP-290 GPS Receiver is fairly small. It attaches to the USB port on top of the PSP and is held in place with two screws. The antenna can be placed in several positions whether it be up or closed. Using Deniska's MapThis! app, it takes about anywhere from 30 seconds to a couple of minutes for the GPS Receiver to lock on to some satellites depending on your location. Also, considering MapThis! is not by Sony, there will be some issues but Deniska is working hard, day and night to resolve issues.
Conclusion : Overall, the Sony PSP-290 GPS Receiver is a nice product but the support is lacking. The GPS Receiver is only available in Japan with no release date for North America or Europe. MapThis! is the only app for non-Japanese users. The reception is not as strong compared to an actual GPS receiver such as Holux. With the PSP-290 attached to the PSP, it would not fit in a PlayGear Pocket or any hardcases. Luckily, Sony included a little plastic case to hold the GPS Receiver.
I would love to see Sony actually release the product in other countries. This will definitely bring more hardware sales for the PSP. But for the time being, we have MapThis! and I can not wait to see what new features Deniska has planned (hint: turn by turn sound)

Here is an image, of another peripheral gun for the Wii called "Wii Blaster". Now, dont confuse it with the Wii Blaster from JoyTech. It seems that GameStop has a new "Wii Blaster". Scheduled for release on June 26 by a company called Core Gamer, the Blaster houses the Wiimote in a casing shaped like a shotgun.
Looking at the other products that Core Gamer makes it will just be a housing similar to that of their Sports accessory pack and controller grip.

SINGAPORE, 29 Apr 2007 (Mon) Did we hear you guys wanting to light up the Wiimote (other than the trigger button)? Ermm...I think you might as well electrify the whole wiimote into an explosion of lights with the release of the Strat Clear Wiimote Replacement Case (In-Stock)! We heard everything about modding the heck out of the wiimotes to enable it to control robots, affect CT scan devices and even the microwave oven. But let's face it, even a scientist will get bored of the whitish-ness of the stock shell. First to offer a transparent wiimote in the market, Xtreme Enterprise will be rolling out other colors in time to come. Look out gamers, cos we're just about to color your world! Go to our Wii-Shop to make your purchase now!

This has got to be the coolest case ever! Zoozen has given the Xbox360 a new look by creating a whole new case design. I would love to see this go into production.
Zoozen is delighted to give the public a first look at one of many innovative projects that our development staff are working on - Ovo 360. The Ovo 360 for Xbox 360 is the first case in the world which has the power to transform the complete look of Microsoft's next-generation machine. Sporting a sleek, white and sophisiticated shell, the Ovo 360 fuses the awesome power of the Xbox with an elegant and breathtaking modern day design to match.
Please Note: Final production of the Ovo 360 may not go ahead. There is still much in terms of development to be done.

It seems that Blockbuster will soon be renting out DS games. It has already been tested and seems to be working out great. Rental will be for one week for the price of $4.99. Not bad if you ask me.
An inside source of ours from BlockBuster has received some very interesting information about upcoming rentals. Remember when BlockBuster allowed you to rent GBA games? Whether you remember or not, they did at one point.
Well, it seems that BlockBuster will be getting back into the handheld rental game with the Nintendo DS. According to my source, BlockBuster tested renting DS games in some stores, and it was a huge success. The source also let me know that his store will be receiving around 15 DS games including both versions of the latest Pokémon, with the rental price being $4.99 for the week.
