Something radical after months of monotonous gaming. Of course, we had skate peripherals and addons for the PS2 and the Xbox but not for the next gen consoles. Introducing, Q-Motion: A Skateboard for the Xbox 360 and the Sony Playstation 3.

According to Wal-Mart data sheet obtained by Joystiq, this could well just mean that Sony might be pulling off its the present PS3 model in the market. But even if it does, whats there to improve upon?

The data sheet says that a new ‘version’ will replace the PS3s in the market, it doesn’t portray any exact clauses as to find out what the new one will be like. It might be the Dual Shock 3 for the 40GB PS3 or the release of the white Playstation 3.

Three versions of the Playstation 2 have come and gone. Now for the fourth. Sony Computer Entertaintment have announced that they will be releasing the new version of the Playstation 2 in India and Europe by Diwali. Also, Sony plans to introduce the Playstation network by the end of the year.

At first looks, it pretty much looks like any other bluetooth headset but the logo on it will make you think otherwise. SOCOM Confrontation’s blu-ray version will have this baby. The most notable thing about this bluetooth headset is that it carries a mute button which is absent in almost all the other bluetooth headsets.

Also, a recharge stand which can be connected via USB to the PS3 comes with the package. The pricing has not yet been confirmed but sources believe that it carry a competitive price tag. It will be available both bundled with the game and separately.

Sony’s President Kaz Hirai has unveiled plans of offering video services to the play station network including non-game contents. The service is likely to be introduced first in the U.S and eventually to UK and Japan. He also said that this may boost the network popularity and obviously the revenue.

Although people are still comfortable with video-by-mail service, Sony will have a tough time streaming videos. I know it sounds all cool with the video service soon but I’d rather reckon youtube as it is well placed and with the most convenient user experience. As of now, Sony have to start gathering what exactly the consumer wants and how a average daily gamers goes about videos. Anyway, Rome wasn’t built in a day. So good luck Sony, you will need it!

Visual Boy Advance, Project 64 and ZSNES were some of the popular emulators for the games from the NES, the 8-bit sega and the Nintendo DS. Surprisingly, Kotaku claims that it has discovered something that will allow games of the Wii, 360 and PS3 platform to be played on the PC. For the sake of it, this could be just like that Microsoft Xbox 360 Blu-ray version. Living with denials.

Atlast, you can now show off that neck breaking turn or the brutal headshot on youtube. API has announced that developers now can include YouTube API for their future Playstation 3 games. This also means that it will allow developers to include the upload and the download button directly into the game, so that users can do both instantaneously. Electronic Arts’s Skate already uses a similar technology but the video is hosted by themselves.
