PS3 and Xbox 360 hardware sales jump last week amid price cuts, both beat Wii for once

Sep 4th 2009 10:51AM on Engadget

Ummmm they only JUST beat Wii!! We'll see next week when all the fuss has died down and Wii is back on top.

Also not the slim/price didn't dent Wii sales that much and they sat on similar numbers to week before, so Xbox/PS3 still have miles to go before they catch up!

Sony Ericsson's BST-33 Li-Polymer batteries swelling into a lawsuit?

Jan 28th 2009 6:55PM on Engadget

My old W880i did that just around/after the Dell exploding battery incident. I took it back to the phone shop and they weren't interested in solving, so bought a $3 one off ebay, which was probably some knock off battery copy, but didn't have a problem with that one!! Probably 'cos it wasn't made by Sony ;-)

The Conduit: Then vs. now

I still think its a shame that Nintendo didn't snap this and it's engine up, then a few more developers could make decent looking games!! It'll be interesting to see how well this does and if we see more from this game engine, as it looks incredibly good for Wii!

Why??? Aren't there those dinky zinc-based printers out there and a zinc printer/camera combo already??

Why even bother yourself with replying to an e-mail from this loon? He's clearly lost the plot and I'm not entirely sure that god is causing the recession, wasn't that just bad money management??

Wii to get DiRTy in 2009

Nov 20th 2008 3:09PM on Joystiq Nintendo

I'm hoping to see more serious releases like this hitting as publishers can't ignore the huge install base of Wii. I'm loving Call of Duty 5 on Wii and look forward to Dirt 2!

Its about time Apple pulled its finger out too!!

Got questions for Nintendo's Reggie Fils-Aime?

Why is the SD card solution that is coming not a solution?? You should be able to download and run VC/WiiWare games from internal or SD memory WITHOU swapping! Being able to download direct to SD is only handy, you still have to swap! Please solution this properly, so I have access to all the memory internal/external and run games from both. I have invested a great deal of money in your games and I can't play them without waiting eons to swap them on and off SD!!

Variety also says Atari picked up the Ghostbusters game

Again, like the Conduit, I don't really care who publishes this game, I just want it!!

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I commonly need to boot a system from an external disc and take a snapshot of the host system. I also then need to burn a copy of the image to a DVD. While I can do it with two separate external devices, and two power supplies, and two I/O cables, it'd be nice to find a small dual-drive enclosure. It would need to have USB, eSATA, and FireWire. Either slim-line or half-height bay for the optical burner would be fine, and space for either a 2.5- or 3.5-inch hard disc. Any ideas?"
