If you semi-bricked your Wii by performing the update on an imported Mario Kart disc (or similar game) that did not match your Wii’s region, and was wondering what you were going to do with your gimped Wii, you’re in luck.

To celebrate the Madden NFL franchise’s 20th anniversary this year, Sony will be released a new PSP slim bundle featuring a limited-edition Metallic Blue PSP plus the newest Madden game - Madden NFL 09. Also included in the package will be a UMD (boring), a voucher to let you download Beats from the PlayStation Store, and a 1GB memory stick duo pro (woo). All of this will cost just $199.99 which sounds like a great bargain to me for everything you get. I’m seriously considering this just to get the blue PSP. In my opinion, it’s the best looking one out right now, considering the classic black, white, silver, and red ones (did I miss any?). Look for this to drop in stores nationwide on August 12.

As we reported in one of our previous posts: 2008 Sleepless Winners. The picture above shows the what $5,095 in Bestbuy gift cards look like. The break down was 10 $500 cards + one $75 and one $25 card. I heard one winner promptly went out and used it to buy a Sony Playstation 3. Thanks Microsoft!

Like we saw in Japan, Konami is releasing a special limited edition PS3 for the US market for the release of metal gear solid 4. Metal Gear Solid 4 Limited Edition PLAYSTATION®3 Bundle comes with a game, one dual shock 3 and a ps3. The grand total for this bundle is 599.00 + shipping + tax….

It’s a little on the pricey side and has already sold out for today. Word is they will release more for pre-order tommorow.

Instructables modder Agurri, inspired by the idea of stuffing an iPod Shuffle inside a classic Nintendo remote, decided to do the same thing but for his Apple Remote and post the instructions on the web for all to enjoy. If you’ve got a soldering iron, a Dremel and aren’t afraid to open up your hardware, then you might want to give this a go or do something similar. The NesRemote as he calls it has full functionality so the directional arrows and A, B, start and select buttons all work. Check out the cool video of the modded NES remote in action below:
