Overview : The Xbox 360 Kinect Sensor Extension Cable will allow you to extend your connection by 3M meaning you to place your Kinect Sensor virtually anywhere in your living space.

This is an ideal item for large living areas as well as entertainment centers also if you Kinect sensor is on your wall, above a fire place ect.

Features :

• The extension cable allows you to put your Kinect sensor bar an additional 3meters from your Xbox 360
• Allowing for more complex configurations or home theater applications
• It’s inexpensive and provides the reliability that only a hard-wired solution can accomplish
• Ideal for large living rooms and large entertainment centers

Quality/Usability : *This will only work on Xbox 360 Slim consoles or with power adapter from standalone Kinect Sensor. This does not allow you to connect the Kinect directly to the back of the original Xbox 360.

Some gamers may have their systems in one end of the room from their TV or monitor while others may have them near each other or in entertainment centers. However you have your systems setup, you may need an extension cable for your Xbox 360 Kinect. The extension cable has proprietary plugs that will only fit into the Kinect port on the Xbox 360 Slim or if you purchased the standalone Kinect, it comes with a power supply and it can be plugged into the Y-split plug. The Kinect draws power from the special proprietary port on the back of the Xbox 360 Slim console but with the original Xbox 360, a power supply is needed. This power supply has a normal USB plug that plugs into the back of the Xbox 360 but has an extra cable that splits which contains the proprietary Kinect port. This is where the Kinect draws its power from and where the extension cable connects to.


The extension cable gives you an extra 9'-10' feet of additional cable and is durable. To use this extension cable, the proprietary USB plug on the extension cable goes into the Xbox 360 Slim console or to the power supply (standalone Kinect only). On the other end of the extension cable is a proprietary port and this is where you plug the Xbox 360 Kinect plug.

Having used the extension cable, there was no lag or delay in signal being transmitted. Since we only have one extension cable, we have do not know what would happen is you daisy chained 2 extension cables if you needed more than 10' feet of cable. However, from what I have read on the internet with other extension cables, you are not able to daisy chain 2 or more cables. If you daisy chained 2 extension cables, there would be no power.

Conclusion : Overall, the Xbox 360 Kinect Sensor Cable Extension gives gamers an additional 10' feet of extra cable. This is perfect if your console and TV is not near each other or have your Kinect mounted on a wall or on a stand. The price is very very reasonable and affordable compared to the Officially licensed extension cable from PDP that retails for $49.99 and does exactly the same thing. Even though I have not confirmed it myself, it seems based on reports on the internet and if all extension cables are the same, you will NOT be able to daisy chain extension cables to give you an additional 10' feet.

Being the first to bring you an exclusive teaser video and first images of XCM's new Re-Mapper for the Xbox 360, we now bring you an exclusive and first video of the Re-Mapper in action.

To some, the Xbox 360™ controller is most arguably the best controller, but the button location may not be the perfect place for some games. In order to fix this, you may need to re-map some buttons that will suit your preference and gaming style. What if you're left handed and like to use the left LT as your shooting trigger and RT trigger for throwing grenades or even switching weapons? The XCM Re-Mapper allows you to re-map ANY button on a wired Xbox 360™ controller (except Guide button) making gameplay that much easier, enjoyable and playable now.

*You MUST use a wired Xbox 360™ controller. XCM Re-Mapper will NOT work with wireless Xbox 360 controller Play & Charge Kit.

XCM Re-Mapper will be released on 3/28/2011. No word on price but it will probably be around $85USD. You can purchase it from Play-Asia or Amazon.com.

Hi Buddy

We are E3diy. Do you forget your E3card Reader?
Today we will bring you a new surprise, a complete FREE gift, the E3 Golden Finger.

Three months ago, there was a war that engulf the world. It's not only the war between SONY and hackers but also among the jailbreakers. You know, there were three kinds of jailbreaks: those could not be upgraded, those the clone of the clone of the clone and those big-ones which could downgrade the PS3 firmware from 3.50 to any lower version. Those of the three. That was three months ago. And now, how many of them can still be named?

I don't want to mention that we were the one who had fistly cheated the PSN with a 3.5proof then made the SONY change its strategy; I don't want to mention that we were the first one who had released the world's first unlimited downgrader for completely free meanwhile some smart guys tried to sell their promise but made everyone upset.

I just want to say, hi guys we are still here, we still work for your joy, and other than these, nothing is important. Currently, E3 GoldenFinger support genuine games (check game list), and the supporting for ROM is coming soon. You can download the E3 GoldenFinger by click here, and read the user guide from here.

Armed with the E3 Golden Finger means that you could have:
- unlimited ammo
- unlimited HP and MP
- An undead body in the game.
- Teach those big-guys who truly is the right BOSS.

The only thing you need is to:
- Download the free upgrade file
- Plug your E3card Reader in your PC
- Copy the upgrade file (GoldenFinger.bin) to the E3Upgrader driver
- Copy the CFD folder into the 4M memory stick (E3_4M_STICK).
- Please refer to the user guide for the useage.

Then everything is done.

For your joy, we will
- bring more new features to you,
- add support for new games ASAP
- try to make the next surprise for you quietly. ^_^

Have a good time.

E3 - make Everything Easy and Efficient

Best Regards
E3diy

What better way to show off your new Nintendo 3DS with a 3D bikini model?! (Sorry, there is no nudity.)

Our friend and colleague Julie Wata, besides being a well-known Japanese photographer, is also a bikini model. Today, to the delight of all lovers of beauty and fans of Japanese games that have just bought a Nintendo 3DS, Julie (aka Amano Ai) has decided to give us a gallery of photographs from 3D look with the new handheld console from Nintendo!

To celebrate the International release of the Nintendo 3DS she decided to produce a bikini photo collection in 3D in collaboration with the Japanese figure artist KAZ Asada.

It is an idea unique to the world and, in addition to thank Julie, we make them our warmest congratulations to always be as innovative in his work!

To view the photo gallery on your Nintendo 3DS:

Click here to download the file with the photos.

Once you got the ZIP file on your computer you should open the file and copy the folder “DCMI” (and all its contents) in an SD card. Then put the SD card back in the Nintendo 3DS and launch the photo application to view the gallery.
