Wireless keyboard / controller / remote control for PS3 could make your day / week / month

Posted in: accessories, controller, keyboard, playstation 3, Playstation3, ps3, remote control, RemoteControl, Today's Chili, Wireless

We’ve seen some goofy looking PS3 accessories — including Sony’s recent Wireless Keypad for the PS3 — but this one looks like a little bit of crazy mixed with a dab of mediocrity. A product of unknown make, the creatively dubbed “PS3 3-in-1 Wireless keyboard controller remote” certainly looks like it could function in a mind-blowingly awesome fashion — though we haven’t yet gotten our hands on an actual unit yet, so we can’t say for sure. It’s available now for an inviting $28.52.

[Thanks, Craig]

PS3 unable to hold its own against Wii, Xbox 360 this holiday season

Posted in: Microsoft, nintendo, playstation 3, Playstation3, ps3, sales, sony, Today's Chili, wii, xbox 360, Xbox360

Considering the way that the Wii flew off shelves last month, this next item probably won’t come as a shock to anyone. According to the Wall Street Journal, both Nintendo’s console and the Xbox 360 trounced the PS3 in holiday sales, with U.S. sales falling nine percent from this month last year. During this same period, sales doubled for the Wii and rose eight percent for the Xbox 360. Perhaps none of this should be a surprise, as Sony declined to cut prices on their system, while a lack of exclusive game titles and a number of inexpensive Blu-ray players went a long way towards making the PS3 the least attractive option in an already difficult retail climate. If anything, it looks like Sony won’t be able to rely on the console to help prop up a flagging electronics division that just announced it will be cutting thousands of jobs in a bid to boost profitability going into 2009. Happy New Year, indeed.

Keepin’ it real fake, part CLXXIII: 8-bit Xbox 360 / PS3 consoles only serve to dash dreams

We’ve seen some pretty low tricks when it comes to giving what appears to be a gaming console to a junior, but we’re pleading — nay, insisting — that you don’t ever buy in on either of these in an attempt to pull the wool over a kiddo’s eyes. Straight from a shady warehouse in China comes Rodisson Technologies’ totally ridiculous Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 clones, both of which can only play 8-bit titles. The worst part, however, isn’t the complete lack of effort in knocking these systems off with any level of pride; rather, it’s the 10,000 item minimum order quantity. Thanks, but no thanks.
