Even game console maker, Nintendo, is getting in on the e-book rage. Nintendo’s latest handheld, the DSi XL will be able to display e-books, and they will firt offer up a cartridge that contains 100 public domain books including classics by Shakespeare and Twain.
If you’re one of those Wall Street bankers that still made off with a handsome bonus this year and are wondering what to do with all that money burning a hole in your pocket, why don’t you consider investing it in gold? Gold wrapped around a Nintendo Wii console, that is!
Yup, nicknamed the SUPREME, this version of the Wii has over 2.5kg (over 5lbs) of 22ct gold. The buttons on the front are of course made of diamonds (total: 19.5ct).
Hey, at least this is a £300k investment that you actually get to play with!

As hard drive prices have come down, storage amounts have increased. So much so that even gaming consoles are pushing up the storage amounts while the price has remained the same or even dropped.
Case in point is Sony’s Playstation3 system which has a sleeker new look as well as a few new sizes: 120GB and 250GB. There is also a 160GB version, but that is in the old style.
Still has a bunch of the same features: Wi-Fi connectivity, HDMI output, and of course, the Blu-ray DVD player.
The 120GB system includes a DualShock3 wireless controller and a free PlayStationNetwork membership.

Sega is getting back into hardware, this time it’ll be a handheld console. Dubbed the Vision, it will play games, plus movies and music, and apparently have a camera and TV-tuner. Really…
I haven’t heard WiFi mentioned. Honestly, this needs to compete with the PSP. On the other hand, I’d love to play Sonic again.
