For Wii & PS3 lovers, you can watch this NFS UC video published by gametrailers. One of the shows the mode “Cost to State” on the Playstation 3 - Version and the other one shows some screnes of the Wii-version of the game. The graphics look pretty good for a Wii…
Enjoy This!
Winamp, first launched in 1997, quickly became a staple for every MP3-loving music listener back during the days when digital music files were a novelty. Since then, millions have downloaded the MP3 and media playback software. A recent Comscore report says that over 60 million people worldwide actively use the free product (every month). While the music and entertainment nature of the software has continued to focus heavily on Windows-based users, the upcoming 10th year anniversary of the product adds new options that continue to embrace its PC-centric nature but expands its reach onto to gaming consoles.
One thing to keep in mind when buying a gift for your favorite PS3 gamer: don’t buy them a new Sixaxis controller unless specifically instructed to do so. Sony is releasing a new version (called the Dualshock 3) in early 2008 that will offer force feedback which means many PS3 gamers are going to want to replace their current controllers with the newer, rumbling models in a matter of months. Overseas online vendors like PlayAsia.com are already selling the already-released Japanese version, but rumble support for US titles is sketchy, and you’ll end up spending around $70 with shipping for something that probably won’t arrive in time for the Holidays.

Weighing about 11 pounds and measuring 12.8 inches wide by 3.86 inches high by 10.89 inches long, the PlayStation 3 is larger than the PlayStation 2, the diminutive Nintendo Wii, or the Microsoft Xbox 360. Like those consoles, it can be oriented vertically or horizontally. Either way, the PS3’s striking design looks right at home in the living room (admittedly, however, its polished top surface is prone to finger marks). The PS3 runs more quietly than the Xbox 360 but is a bit louder than the almost silent Wii. Though the unit itself doesn’t get too toasty, the air around it tends to feel warm after a few hours of continuous play.
The PlayStation 3 comes in two versions. The $599 model (which I tested) has a 60GB hard disk; built-in 802.11b/g wireless networking; and MemoryStick, SD, and CompactFlash slots. The $499 unit omits Wi-Fi capability and the media card slots, and has a 20GB drive. You can replace the hard drive on either version, and the supplied manual explains how to swap in your own 2.5-inch, serial ATA drive. Our sibling publication GamePro has posted scans of these instructions.
