    According to the 360 flavoured version of Famitsu, Armored Core 4 will get its 360 release on the 22nd March next year. No details on any additional content as yet (bar the obvious inclusion of controller vibration and Xbox Live functionality) but a straight port of the PS3 version wouldn't be too shabby at all.

    Having finished the singeplayer of the PS3 version, S Ranks, Arena and all, one small suggestion to those attentive ears at From Software would be the inclusion of an "easy" mode (in addition to the normal and hard that already exist). Otherwise many who haven't played the previous games may find the current difficulty erring on the side of fascistic. ...

    While the verdict might be out on an eventual sales winner between the three new-gen consoles, it's hard to argue with one stat: the PS3 is a shoo-in for the coveted "Console Launch Related Crime" award. The latest in crime spree exploits is a trio of UPS employees who were working the night shift around PS3 launch time, and managed to swap shipping labels on $19,000 worth of PS3s -- around 20 systems and 24 SIXAXIS controllers. These three grinches, 25-year-old Sean Weber, 37-year-old Norbert Joseph and 29-year-old Jasel Bolden, working from a New Orleans shipping center, forwarded the PS3s to their day job at Andrews Sport Company Inc., but couldn't escape the long arm of the law. Chalk one more up for justice. Oh, and by the way guys, if you get out of the clink before New Years, would you mind "diverting" a few PS3s our way? We accept Wiis too. You know, in the spirit of giving.

    New version of the Video Converter for the Wii:

    1.94 Changelog:
    Added: FLV Output Folders in Settings
    Added: More generic Wii FLV profiles

    Release Notes:
    Some users noted that when playing videos in Wii Media Center X, the videos would playback very choppy and slowly. We investigated this issue and found that the Wii Opera Browser cannot play very high resolution, high bitrate video, probably due to lack of processing power.

    So we removed the old profile and added two new ones for 4:3 and 16:9 videos at a lower resolution and bitrate. These videos seem to play back fine in Wii Media Center X. Thankfully the video scaling in the Wii browser is pretty good compared to video scaling in you see in your typical PC browser.

    The best bitrate and resolution will always vary by video and the only real way to figure out what's best is by chaning the parameters through trial and error and viewing it on the Wii.

    Upgrade Notes:
    There is no upgrade installer, you must download the full installer and install it over your current version. This will overwrite any profiles or settings you may have so if you want to keep your old profiles or settings please backup the proper XML files before installing.

    Wii Video 9 is a free video conversion application developed by Red Kawa. It allows you to convert your computer video files (like avi, divx, mpeg, etc.) into the specific video formats that are playable on the Wii.

    When I saw videos of the Wii Forecast Channel, I noticed the stars in the background were not really random, but seemed to resemble the rough pattern I'd expect to see in the actual sky, given dark enough viewing conditions. I couldn't confirm this until I got home and updated the channel to look around for myself.
    The easiest constellation to recognize is probably Orion, so I looked for that one first. I vaguely recalled that Orion is a winter constellation which meant that I should probably look at the opposite side of the globe to find it in the background (at night). After a bit of shuffling around, I found it:
    I noticed that the stars are indeed real star positions, relative magnitude, and even color! The top left star in Orion, Betelgeuse, is a red supergiant and even appears slightly red on screen.
    The next obvious constellation to look for was the Big Dipper (Ursa Major):
    It seems to be accurately positioned as well, which means that someone at Nintendo put in a fine bit of extra effort to include this subtle little bonus.

    Turns out that the Nintendo Wii is more desirable than a PlayStation 3, in spite of the Wii's considerable lower specification and price. At GigaGamez, Jason McMaster has been looking through offers to trade on Craigslist:

    In my search of Austin, I only turned up 6 total people who wanted to trade their PS3 for a Wii, so I moved on to New York City, which boasted a pretty substantial 18 desired trades. Here's where it gets crazy: in San Francisco, there are 48 different PS3 for Wii trades going on at this moment. Now, keep in mind, most of these trades are requesting a Wii plus cash difference, but there is the occasional barter that will take a loss just to get their hands on the latest Nintendo console.

    It has already been pointed out that the PS3 has not been trading well on eBay, and has not been selling out as fast as the Xbox 360 when that was in short supply. Are the people with PS3s trading for something they can sell for more money, or "have been terribly disappointed in the software line-up"? As McMaster says: "No matter what it turns out to be, I would have never pictured this scenario." ...
