Well you knew it was coming. That PSP hack we told you about a few weeks ago has hit the interblogs, and we predict all hell will be breaking loose any moment. Un-retired homebrew mastermind Dark_AleX has come up with a little number called Timemachine, which is capable of spinning your PSP back to all sorts of crazy firmwares at the touch of a button. We know you can hardly stand finishing this post due to excitement, so… get out of here and grab it!

In a piece primarily focused on Blu-ray over at Business Week, a bit of scrolling led to quite the interesting tidbit: Sony has apparently been able to slash the production cost of its PlayStation 3 in half.

With so many astonishing features, a winner is you if a Winner is what you get.

The ergonomic design includes a couple of joysticks that is operable by thumb. It uses an ADI chip, which should be good enough for enhanced video playing experience as well as NES, SFC, the MD gaming. Add on the GPS function and you get a full-fledge navigator as well.More…
