Woah, This Samurai Warrior USB Gamepad Is All Kinds Of Freaky
12:50AM Danny Allen | Seriously, those green LED eyes would stare into my soul while I tweak its switchable analogue/digital nipples. The USB joypad is modelled after the DualShock controller, and supports the PS3, PS2 and PCs. It looks bizarre, and I like it. More »

PS2 Compatbility Never Returning To The PlayStation 3
12:10AM Mark Wilson | Sony pretty much implied that backward compatibility was dead when they released the PS3 Slim (without PS2 support), but just in case, Sony’s John Koller put a few nails in that coffin during two recent interviews. More »

Use Sony’s DualShock On The Wii, Then Giggle Like A Super Villain
10:56PM Mark Wilson | Why buy Nintendo’s fancy Wii Classic Controller or humiliatingly turn the Wiimote sideways when your old PS/PS2 controllers are perfectly fine? Import this DualShock to Wii adaptor for just under $US20 and no one will even notice. [Gametech via Kotaku] More »

Audiovox Co-Branded Playstation 2s Coming to Cars
5:45AM Mark Wilson | Audiovox will be releasing custom PS2 consoles for cars. Apparently Sony has handed over PS2 hardware to Audiovox (surely through some sort of co-beneficial licensing agreement), who has then re-cased the hardware and added their own tweaks like wireless outputs (allowing the whole car to share one system). Available in 6 months for a $US200 premium over existing in-car entertainment systems, there will be a front overheard pop-out version of the system (left) as well as backseat units (right). It’s sort of like the soccer mum version of pimping one’s ride. More »
