According to Tokyo’s Nikkei (which is the equavalent of the Wall Street Journal), there is a new DS coming soon. The new DS will sport a camera (games are going to be built to incorporate the camera), built in Wi-Fi, and have music playback. It will not be a entirely new gaming device, but another version of the DS we have now. Good thing I never bought the DS Lite, maybe I’ll pick this up if it shows to be promising.

This error usually occurs when playing Counter Strike Source. There is a simple solution to fixing it.
1. Go to the Tray (Bottom right on taskbar), right click and exit Steam.
2. Open up Windows Explorer, and go to C:/programfiles/Steam and delete ClientReqistery.blob.
3. Then open up Steam, it will update, and then you should be back to playing your games.

The Wii now no longer needs a modchip to enable DVD playback. The people at Hackmii.com have been working on a DVD Access library. All you need to do is have a homebrew channel and get the installer.dol file in the package. Run it, and follow the onscreen instructions. Running video files off of an SD card is supported, but currently experimental.

For all those PS3 players out there that want in on the Home Closed Beta (in the United States and Canada) - download the PlayStation Home theme. Downloading the theme automatically submits an application to the beta for you - existing beta testers need not worry, for they are automatically qualified for the Closed Beta.
For the other players in Europe, the SCEE will pick the gamers, using criteria such as activity on the PlayStation network and store.
