It’s nice to know that a pair of foot protectors can be brought for $4000.99; that’s the cost of the bid that won the Nike/Xbox Dunk on eBay.
The special Nike Dunk is not an official collaboration between Microsoft or Nike but custom made by Sole Junkie.
The Xbox Dunks glow in the dark due to special fiber optic wiring sewn into the shoes.

The future might be pretty slim for PS3. In the last few days, the biggest rumors are the price cuts for PS3 that Sony has been denying forever, and now leaked pictures of a slim PS3 which Sony is hitting websites with pictures posted of the slim PS3 with Cease and Desist orders.
All though the pictures of the slim PS3 are from a Chinese website, it’s got all the markings that make it seem plausible that leaked pictures could be what it is. Off course, with Photoshop’s liquid tool, you can slim it down, and with some cloning and pasting, you can add logos… Or better, yet, it could be a counterfeit.

Batman: Arkham Asylum
I’ve played the demo version of Batman: Arkham Asylum on the PS3 at Frys Electronics and the game is beautiful in it’s graphics quality, fast action, and easy use of the PS3 controller to play the game.
Better news is that, Batman: Arkham Asylum for the Playstation 3 will offer a download version on June 23, the release date of the game, which will let you play as The Joker in what is called Challenge Maps.
I expect the Xbox 360 will have a similar release or the same release sometime after the PS3 version, probably for a download fee like other games that have offered exclusive characters and later offered for a fee on other consoles.
