Myka’s BitTorrent-friendly home media player now in production

Posted in: now shipping, NowShipping, on sale, OnSale, ship, shipping, ships, Today's Chili

It’s been just about ten full months since Myka’s BitTorrent box was formally introduced to Earthlings, but it seems like the wheels are finally turning on production way across the way in China. According to a promising update on Myka’s official website, “production is in full swing,” which means that boxes should start arriving to eager consumers in around four to six weeks. For those unaware, this here box pulls down torrents as you sleep and then plays ’em back nicely on your connected HDTV. Users can also load up additional media on the inbuilt 80GB, 160GB or 500GB hard drive, but first you’ll need to hand over $299, $349 or $459 depending on just how capacious you like your media servers.

[Thanks, Julio]

XCM Dominator joystick for PlayStation 3 ships next week for $89.99

Posted in: controller, on sale, OnSale, playstation 3, Playstation3, ps3, Today's Chili

Well tell ya, these cats at XCM really know how to craft some irresistible gear. After making us wait seven painstaking months for a new gadget to drool over, the creators of the Mega-Cool component-to-VGA converter have announced that the Dominator Joystick for PlayStation 3 is all set to ship next week. The highly programmable arcade-style stick includes a Combo Attacker and Rapid Fire mode for borderline cheating, and the four memory buttons enable macros to be stored and kept at arm’s reach. Of course, a gaming joystick wouldn’t be a gaming joystick without a superabundance of blue LEDs, so you’ll certainly find those there as well. You can toss in your pre-order now if you’d like, but make sure you’ve got $89.99 free and clear before doing so.
