After discovering this site in the latter part of this week, I am very, very amazed by it. Essentially everything on photoblog Deadendthrills is a screenshot of a video game, but completely unedited and looks absolutely, amazingly, awesome *insert different synonyms for aforementioned vocabulary here*. Check it out, and come back here when you’ve had enough screenshots for one day.

This is sweet. Near the launch (February 22 in the U.S.), the PlayStation Vita (we want one so badly, Sony. *wink*) will have a bundle that retails for $299 and contains an 8GB memory card, 3G + WiFi Vita, a PSN game (of unknown title), and an AT&T DataConnect Session pass “good for one free 250MB session.” It is reasonable and Amazon seems to be the only retailer with the limited edition bundle currently available for pre-order — at least for now.
Just as the new year begins, Nintendo is making plans for the very end of it. The Wii U will launch in the US, Japan, Europe, and Australia at the end of 2012 according to Nintendo President Satoru Iwata. The Wii U is Nintendo’s next-generation gaming console, which now (finally!) offers HD graphics and a controller that doubles as a secondary and primary screen for the system when your TV set is in use.

There is going to be an AT&T 3G version of the upcoming PlayStation Vita. However, the prices for the accompanying data plans has changed since the Vita’s debut at E3 2011. There’s the $15, 250MB plan and a higher $30, 3GB plan. Previously AT&T announced a cheaper $25 2GB plan instead of the 3GB change. Anyways, since there’s 1,024 megabytes per gigabyte, paying double for 12x the space is fair. Via:
So, it has come to Microsoft’s acknowledgement that the Xbox 360 dashboard update that started rolling out in late-December was great, but there are some serious bugs to make mention of. The first being that 720p seems to be the default setting for the interface, not 1080p, causing some users problems with HDMI. Then there’s the color space, which can sometimes be completely off. So, that all being said, Microsoft is working on a fix, we just don’t know when it will be pushed out to the masses. Via:
This is the Alienware X51. It’s a small gaming PC, designed to be the size of an Xbox, roughly. With the usual Alieware lighting scheme, slot loading DVD drive and sleek form, it costs $699, $849 and $949 – with a choice of Core i3, i5 or i7 processors, respectively. Each version of the X51 has a terabyte (1,000 GB) hard drive, no SSD options and 4GB or 8GB or RAM. It also comes with an Alienware keyboard, along with either NVIDIA’s GeForce GT 545 graphics in the cheaper model, or GTX 555 in the better models. As for ports, there’s an HDMI 1.4, on-board WiFi, USB 3.0 and digital 7.1 surround sound. Best of all, in true Alienware fashion, all parts can be upgraded, and it looks fantastic.
