    Final Fantasy XIII will be an odd beast, containing a primary entry (currently an exclusive for the PS3) and several spin-off titles, a la Final Fantasy VII; the collection as a whole will be entitled Fabula Nova Crystallis. However, only two spin-offs had been announced: Final Fantasy XIII Versus, also for the PS3, and Final Fantasy XIII Agito, available for mobile phones. These were apparently the only planned titles until the above (beside?) picture surfaced, clearly showing at least three more unknown entries in the series.

    Square-Enix knows how unbelievably profitable the DS is, and recently released review scores of FFXII: Revenant Wings will ensure solid sales in Japan. Personally, we find it hard to believe that one of these titles won't be coming to the DS, and heck, who knows ... there might even be a Wii title in there too. ...

    DWedit has posted a new version of the GBC emulator for the GBA/DS:

    New build...

    Major changes since the last build is that plenty of code got rewritten. Many off-by-one-scanline graphical errors were corrected. Since so much code was rewritten, may possibly be buggy.

    * Adjusted timing code, Many off-by-one scanline errors were fixed. Notably in Zelda oracles, Super Mario Land, Dragon Warrior 3, etc.
    * Rewrote scanline-buffer code. Properly supports split windows, fixes Oracle of Ages intro, Donkey Kong, etc. Faster too. Also fixed bugs where window was displayed one scanline too far down.
    * Double Speed = Timers now doubles length of vblank period when the GBC uses double speed. Fixes glitches in Balloon Fight GB.

    New release of the PSX Emu for GP2X from Zodttd:

    In order for sound to work well, a performance increase will be required.
    I fixed a large implementation bug in the dynarec, as well as tried to speed it up. I actually might have slowed it down by the slightest bit in some games, while improving performance in others. I am wondering if I fixed any games with this release. The resolution bug when switching to a different game is still present, I'll fix that soon. I haven't implemented Unai's fixes/changes to the GTE. I'll have to wait for his updates to come.

    More to come, but for now release 041507 is on the build directory. Hopefully this release shows some differences between the last in a positive manner.

    Both Wii and PS3 have web browsers, but it's fair to say that internetweb surfing is very much a secondary feature for both. It's all about the games really, with a side-order of Blu-ray goodness in PS3's case. However, Web 2.0 will be a factor in both, for example Sony's upcoming Home virtual world, and Nintendo's connected News Channel and Forecast Channel.

    Nevertheless, it's fair to assume that a decent chunk of Wii and PS3 owners will use the consoles for at least some regular web surfing too. So how do the respective browsers compare when faced with 15 of the most popular Web 2.0 sites? I tested them out on the likes of MySpace, YouTube, Flickr, Facebook and Last.fm to see how they performed.

    Each site gets a mark out of 2. 0 points means it didn't work properly. 1 point means it worked partially, and 2 points means it worked well. Note, this is as much a test of how well the websites are designed as of the console browsers. Read on to find out which console scored higher.

    1. eBay (www.ebay.com)
    The world's top auctions website works like a dream on both Wii and PS3, allowing you to sign in, browse for items, and splash your life savings on as many crap porcelain guinea pig ornaments as you like. Neither console has any problems. Wii: 2 points. PS3: 2 points.

    2. Amazon (www.amazon.co.uk)
    I'm starting with easy ones here: Amazon is mainly text with a few pics, just like eBay. Neither Wii nor PS3 has any problems coping with the site. And before you scoff that console gamers don't read books, there's a huge selection of games and hardware available too. Wii: 2 points. PS3: 2 points.

    3. MySpace (www.myspace.com)
    How will the world's largest social networking site fare on the next-gen consoles? On the profile-editing and messaging side, it's absolutely fine. But a big part of MySpace is its band profiles, where you can listen to tunes. Wii can handle the embedded players, but PS3 can't. On both consoles, video is no-go. Wii: 2 points. PS3: 1 point.

    4. Bebo (www.bebo.com)
    Another social networking site with music and video content, and arguably one that The Cool Kids rate more than MySpace these days. Once again, you can do all the profile-editing and friend-adding you want on both consoles, but this time the embedded tunes work on both too. However, videos won't play on either. Wii: 2 points. PS3: 2 points.

    5. Facebook (www.facebook.com)
    This is purely about social networking, and the site is picking up a head of steam now non-students can sign up. With less of a focus on music and video, it's handled with ease on both consoles, with all the features surviving intact. Wii: 2 points. PS3: 2 points.

    6. YouTube (www.youtube.com)
    How will Google's super-popular video-sharing site fare on games consoles? Not half bad, actually. Both Wii and PS3 can search, browse and most importantly play the site's videos. Wii point blank refuses to let you upload your own videos though, while PS3 does, but only if they're in a format that it recognises. Wii: 2 points. PS3: 2 points.

    7. Flickr (www.flickr.com)
    What about photo-sharing? Wii is fine for browsing other people's photos, as well as your own photo stream. You can't upload new pics though, which is a pain. PS3 can also handle the browsing, but more importantly, it can upload photos too. The scoring is slightly different here, as I'd argue uploading is more important for using Flickr than it is for YouTube. Wii: 1 point. PS3: 2 points.

    8. Vox (www.vox.com)
    Six Apart's blogging cum social-networking service is slick and easy to use on PC, but what about on consoles? It works on Wii, but isn't totally comfortable to use, due to some weird on-screen formatting. It's not fun on PS3 either, being sluggish and not letting you upload photos with your posts. Wii: 1 points. PS3: 1 point.

    9. Gmail (www.gmail.com)
    On both consoles, Gmail has an irritating habit of filling the text-entry box with the entire email you're replying to, and making you scroll back through it to reply. Apparently you can turn this off within Gmail, but that's not ideal if you're also using it on a PC or Mac. Otherwise, though, it works well – and is fine if you're just checking emails. Wii: 1 point. PS3: 1 point.

    10. Twitter (www.twitter.com)
    The Hot New Thing in Web 2.0 circles, Twitter is about 'micro-blogging' – short 140-character summaries of what you're up to. The site itself is stripped-down and simple, so it works marvellously on both consoles. Plus, if you don't have a wireless keyboard hooked up, the shorter messages are less painful to tap in on the on-screen keyboards than full blog posts. Wii: 2 points. PS3: 2 points.

    11. Bloglines (www.bloglines.com)
    Web-based RSS aggregator, which is one of the best ways to monitor news feeds on a computer. On Wii, it works perfectly. On PS3, it doesn't work at all, not allowing you to open your feeds. Wii: 2 points. PS3: 0 points.

    12. Digg (www.digg.com)
    Excellent tech news community, although it's expanded to other subjects too. It works very ...
