TFW2005 points us to here, where there are new clear images of Revoltech Prime. I have attached them below so you can see for yourself. I believe that Prime will be number 19 in the Revoltech series.

Also an image surfaced here, showing an exclusive repaint of this figure as Ultra Magnus.

Its pretty much a guarantee that I’ll be hunting these two figures down.

In the same style as Civil War trailers (1, 2), Marvel has posted another for the company’s upcoming Onslaught Reborn story. The story will be written by Jeff Loeb with art by Rob Liefeld.

I posted the embedded video after the jump because it takes several seconds for the player to load.

What better way to celebrate PS3 launch day than to watch the guys from SmashMyPS3.com smash a unit in front of a bunch of lined up geeks.

Thanks to Zac for finding this.

And special thanks to spooie for this picture of G4 Tech TV’s Olivia Munn licking a PS3:

And if you read the forums you could have seen all this hours ago.

Original word was that the Wii component cables would only be available online. Later it was announced that a few retailers would have them in stores on launch day. In anticipation I checked Nintendo’s online store every few days hoping to order a set before launch day fearing I’d be unable to find them in Canada. The result was that the Wii was never and still isn’t listed in the listing of systems in the store and up until a few days ago a search for “component” yielded only results for the discontinued Gamecube cables.

Well today a search showed the Wii component cables were in the store, not reacheable by navigating through the links but only with the search and most frustratingly of all sold out until at least November 28th already! These things are harder to get a hold of than the PS3!

He-man.org has posted a link to a couple of guides posted by BCI, the distributors of the He-Man and She-Ra DVD collections recently released. These guides reveal a list of the easter eggs on each of the dvds.

Enjoy hunting for them all!

When the X-Box 360 had problems playing original X-Box games it was somewhat expected. It was announced a good while before launch and the reason was because the hardware was so different. Up until this weekend Sony’s claim was that backwards compatibility would be supported for PlayStation and PS2 games. Now that it’s released in Japan we see that that’s not true at all.

According to this BBC article a Japanese newspaper has claimed that 200 games don’t play properly on the new system. Though Sony has acknowledged the problem and first stated it on their web site the day of the Japanese release of the system, they aren’t giving a number of how many games are affected.

As usual promises are made to add compatibility for problematic games through patches available online. This is all so familiar.

Sony now has the following statement listed on their description of the PS3’s features:

NOTE
Some PlayStation 2 or PlayStation format software titles may perform differently on this system than they do on PlayStation 2 or PlayStation systems, or may not perform properly on this system. PS3 does not support a vibration controller.

Gamers can go to this page on Sony’s official site to check to see what games don’t work. Unfortunately it’s all in Japanese so good luck in making much sense of it. Search for nothing to get a list of all games. The right colum shows if the game works or not. In fairness it took me a while browsing through that list to find a game with a reported problem but if you narrow your search down to include only PlayStation 1 games you’ll notice that problems are a lot more common. Use this to translate.

It still remains to be seen if Nintendo shares the curse of the current generation of game systems but given their track record of backwards compatibility in their handhelds I’m not terribly worried.

Available for only a limited time at the iTunes store, you can get a new short video starring Jack Black and Kyle Gass. Its more or less a commercial for the new Tenacious D album, but its pretty funny. Apparently a much longer version will be available after the album is released.

Tenacious D – The Pick of Destiny will be released tomorrow!
