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.

A new product accessory is promising to bring GPS capabilities to your Nintendo DS.
While the site has not given out any info on the cost of the unit or the actual release date, it promises to be a very useful accessory! The unit connects to the bottom of your Nintendo DS and will show the GPS info on both screens. Directions will be given out on both visual and audio format like a true GPS unit in your car and best of all, the Ranger allows for usb connection which means you can connect your DS with Ranger GPS to any PDA or laptop and allowing GPS capabilities to them as well.
It’s not about getting smack or any lip service regarding some new songs available for the Xbox 360 but it’s all about what new fun songs you can play along with Microsoft’s wireless microphones called “Lips.”
Reported yesterday, April 3, in London; Microsoft announced Activision’s Guitar Hero Metallica and MTV’s Rock Band 2 are the first music titles to support the Lips wireless microphone that features motion sensors and lights that respond to the singer’s actions.

For those that have envied the Wii control remote, Xbox 360 players will have something better.
Performance Designed Products will release the Gametrak Freedom this coming fall. The Gametrak Freedom will use what they call ultrasonic 3D Positioning. Unlike the Nintendo Wiimote, the Gametrak Freedom will use two sensors that the player will place between the display to measure the motion movement of the remote and will be more accurate than the IR based Wii remote.
Expect the Gametrak Freedom for Xbox 360 this fall and the Playstation 3 version in 2010.

The site has been doing pretty well and I’ve been wanting to branch out a bit and extend the content portion of Arcadeblender.

Coming soon, you’ll get a Peek at it, I’m reorganizing the site and will hopefully get it done by mid April.
For PS3 fanatics who have wanted a better remote control for the PS3, Logitech is providing the answer.
Logitech will be launching the Logitech Harmony Adapter for Playstation 3 with which you’ll be able to use your Harmony remote and I believe any other IR (infrared) device.
From the report, the Logitech Harmony will also be able to power off your PS3 with ease compared to hacked IR-Bluetooth USB dongle systems…

New PS3 Wireless Controller by mLani
I received the product picture from mLani last night but didn’t have time to post the picture.
mLani was pretty fast in responding back to me with my request for product shots to post; I am expecting more product shots from mLani in a few days. The photographer who was hired to shoot the MoBi for product shots will have them ready in a couple of days.
I should be getting some more details to post with the product launch.
Its been a while since I’ve been excited to see a new product release and I’m eager to get my hands on the MoBi controller by mLani!
I’ll post pics of the MoBi controllers when I can but the MoBi controllers are one step closer to bringing the Wii like control interaction to the PS3 of which I think is something sorely needed for Sony’s PS3 system.
This hybrid controller will have many uses as it can be used on your PC as well.
I was looking at the Street Fighter IV FightPad for awhile and debating on whether I wanted to purchase one or not.
Chun-Li Street Fighter FightPad for Xbox 360
It looks like I won’t have to do a review of it, at least until I get my own but 8bitjoystick has posted a great in depth review of the Mad Catz controller on the Seattle Pi’s blog. Read 8bitjoystick’s review at the PI.
Meanwhile, you can get the controller with your favorite character on the gamepad like Chun-Li, Ken, Ryu, Blanka, and Akuma from your local store or online store.
