According to the retailer, the new device will sell for the same $99.99 as the current Wi-Fi adapter upon its release on November 3.  To be honest, we were all hoping for a less expensive option for going wireless on the Xbox 360 – after all, let’s face it, both the Nintendo Wii and the Playstation 3 already have wireless built right in our of the box.

What irks us even a bit more is that they’re putting the same price tag on this as their standard wireless adapter.  Is this really “another choice for gamers to enjoy xbox Live” or is it another choice to spend $100.00 on something that REALLY should have been built in from the start.

We’ll see how it pans out.  Perhaps the price is just a placeholder of sorts, and the price could still go down.

From the same team and developers behind the worlds very first Nintendo Wii Mod Chip – comes the worlds very first hassle free Mod Chip.  By hassle free we don’t mean to imply that other wii mod chips have hassles.  The hassle being the installation.  Probably the biggest thing that stops users from purchasing a Nintendo Wii mod chip is simply the installation itself.  While installing a chip has gotten a lot easier, with only a few wires that have to be soldered to the board of the Wii DVD Drive, it still means being comfortable with a soldering iron, and having some skills when you’re wiring up / installing your modchip.

Those “hassles” however have been removed now, all done away with – with the release of a No Solder Wii Mod Chip.  This no solder wii mod chip is called the Drivekey.  Made by the folks behind the WiiKey – the drivekey works the same as the Wiikey modchip – with more features and functions of course.  And the best part?  Absolutely no soldering required.  You simply plug in the cable that comes with the drivekey into the Wii DVD Drive, and plug the cable from the Wii DVD Drive into the mod chip itself.  It acts as a bridge, or a pass-thru in that once the cables are connected to both ends of the Drivekey – your Nintendo Wii is not modded.  You’ve just “installed” (should be PLUGGED IN) and modified your Wii without any need to have soldering experience – or even have a soldering iron in the house

Codenamed “Infamy” — from Sunday Night Football greets your eyes.  And here it finally is! Found over on developer Infinity Ward’s website, we think you’ll be just as shocked as we were to see how much has changed.

Joystiq points out that the PSPGo pricing has been reduced from companies like HMV, Play.com and Game.co.uk accross the board. Does this mean they actually have room for some profits on the PSPGo ? This tends not to be the case with most console SYSTEMS, where the prices are set and the profits are low.

While it could be PSPGo bashing (retailers are NOT happy about the lack of a UMD Slot – no more used game sales!) – but it could also mean a push by Sony to get the PSPGo into more and more gamers hands.

From Joystiq:
Following the first weekend of PSP Go sales, at least four UK retailers are offering sale prices on the new handheld. Amazon.co.uk, Play, HMV and GAME have all discounted the device to £199.99, which – while still really expensive (it converts to around US $319) – is a significant drop from the MSRP of £224.99.

While it’s tempting to just write this off as the PSP Go bombing, we’re guessing that the MSRP includes some room for retailer profit (unlike the standard price points for most consoles), and these stores are cutting the margins a bit in the interest of competitiveness. Of course, we don’t know what the margin is for a Go, but we doubt all these companies would resort to a price drop so soon if they weren’t still going to make a lot of money on the venture.
