First and Foremost, Microsoft seems to have pulled their head out of their ass concerning the XBOX ONE console. There will no longer be any restrictions on buying/selling/trading used game discs. According to Microsoft, it will be just like it was on XBOX 360. Let's hope the new console is not also as unreliable as the XBOX 360...
There was also some talk about how the console won't need to be 'always online' anymore and now all you have to do is set it up online. Then, you need not ever take it online again. Okay... Am I the only one that thinks they are just trying to pull off the ultimate CYA maneuver here? Besides, what's to stop them from re-instituting these restrictive DRM requirements again in a system update a few months down the line?

I found an unboxing video on IGN for a strange version of the Wii that I had never heard of before. It's called the Wii Mini. Why does that remind me of an iPod?
Anyway, let's see what we have here: A Wii that...
1.) Does NOT have the ability to use component cables for the best possible picture...
2.) No backward compatibility for GameCube games or GameCube controllers for certain Wii games that can use them...
3.) No internet access, either...
I know it's Canada-only but, why did Nintendo bother making this device? It's market appeal is going to be very low.

Finally, in PlayStation news, Sony has filed a patent to add trophies to old games on PSN (Mostly PS1 & PS2-era) without modifying the actual games. Who knows if they'll actually get the patent or put it to good use. It would not matter to me either way.
