Well, its not enough for a gamer just to carry out the urban look with his usual gaming gear, it is also important that he or she carries the right ‘bling’. These mini ‘keychains’ from Brando are the rage now if you can call it that. No pushing please.

No these mini Nintendo DS Lites or the Sony PSPs are not for real, they just remain dormant while you sport it as the cool keychain hanging onto your bag or your pants or if you were the hardcore gamer, onto your PSP or the Nintendo DS Lite then. 

As all the PSP fans know, Logitech has produced the best ever Playstation Portable cases ever especially the Playgear Pocket. But for the PSP Slim and Lite, there are no cases whatsoever from Logitech … until now that is. Logitech has announced the launch of PlayGear Pocket Slim next month.

The design of the case remains the same but the size has shrunk to fit the PSP 2000. Also a custom template for a skin of your choice. According to this page, it is made out of polycarbonate and supports play-in-case design. It also fits fits the Sony 2200 mAh extended life battery for extra battery options. A 1 year limited warranty and priced at $14.99, it appears to be less sturdy than its predecessor.

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.

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!

This is really funny especially from the PS2’s point of view. Its as if the satan’s asking the PS2,’ Any last wish before you rot in hell?’ and PS2 is like - ‘yeah, a paint job please’. Sony Japan have announced that they will release a refurnished Playstation2 on July 3 in the color of Cinnabar red. The price remains the same (US 153$).

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.
