Sprint Diamond To Come In Red

It looks like the Sprint Diamond, which should have the same flat back as the Telus Diamond, will have a classy looking red added to it, which will be a rather nice change from the boring black. In terms of specifications, it should be the same as the Telus Diamond:

Make Your Wii Portable

The Nintendo DS Lite is one portable gaming machine that's worth its salt due to the huge library of quality games (and an equally large amount of duds, to be honest, so tread carefully here), but don't you sometimes wish that it had a little bit more horsepower? Here's a way to make your Wii portable - it comes with a widescreen 16:9 LCD display and a Wii dock, along with an integrated Wii sensor bar to get your portable Wii gaming going on. Of course, this would best be used in a vehicle for long distance trips since it comes with cigarette lighter adapter. No worries about not being able to enjoy full High Definition gaming on a small display, since the Wii is but standard def.

Digital Edge Gaming Table

The Gaming Table from Digital Edge is truly a beast of home furniture, featuring multiple tiers for you to place your deadly gaming apparatus such as a high resolution cordless laser mouse, a leather-clad steering wheel and a high-end joystick. There is also enough room for a trio of displays, making provision for flight sim buffs to enjoy their virtual flying moments in full screen glory. It will cost you $379 for the extra space, and I wouldn't recommend getting this if your pad is already more crowded than our prisons.

DSvision Service Launches

Shoot! Somehow or rather, DS and Wii owners in Japan seem to have it better than gamers in other parts of the world, be it quirky Japanese games or game services. This time we have the DSvision service meant for the DS console, enabling owners to download and watch Japanese anime series on their DS. Of course, it will entail the purchase of a special hardware peripheral to view these downloaded episodes, and this could mean a spike in DS hardware that will finally knock the Sony PSP off the top spot where weekly hardware sales are concerned. The DSvision service will go live next Wednesday. Each downloaded movie will cost $4.80, and these are stored on a microSD memory card.

Kanfuboi Packs Quite A Kick

Kanfuboi - a play on the words Kung-fu Boy, consists of two desktop toys that are able to punch and kick their way through virtually anything. All you need to do is turn them on, and they'll start whipping themselves into a frenzy, punching and kicking at imaginary opponents. Of course, they won't suffer from any muscle fatigue, pausing only when there is no more power supplied. At $18 a pop, they're pretty interesting desktop toys to have, although it might cost a wee bit more if you plan to import them from Japan.
