Razer Moray+ Gaming Headset Has Mic Dongles for DSi, DS Lite and PSP

Razer's original Moray headphones were good for $40—Moray+ adds a mic and has dongles so you can mouth-breathe into your PSP or DSi/DS Lite for $60. But, uh, how often do you wanna do that? [Razer]

3D Power Is Highly Varied Across iPhone/iPod Touch Iterations

We already knew that the latest iPod touch featured the fastest processing of its siblings (a 532MHz-clocked processor vs 412MHz on the original iPhone, the original iPod touch and even the new iPhone 3G). But we were surprised to hear from software developers that the latest iPod touch can render character models with nearly double the polygons of the original iPhone, a trend that's impacting game development now and probably more so moving forward.

Deconstructed DSi Reveals Beefier Processor Might Be Draining Battery Life

When the DSi specs were first revealed in front of the Nintendo money vault this past October, we noticed the battery life of the DS line went from "pretty awesome" to "WTF?" The brighter, larger screens were initially blamed for the 1-6 hour drop, but a field stripped DSi we discovered today hints the drain might be due to a beefier processor and speakers housed within.

Dealzmodo: Circuit City Offering Discounts on Gaming Gear

Circuit City is sinking fast, but their loss is your gain! A tip coming in to Kotaku has revealed that the chain has begun discounting popular gaming gear. Apparently customers can now expect 5% off all consoles and their games, 10% off all accessories, 10% off "social games" like Rock Band and Guitar Hero, 10% off PC games and 10% off strategy guides. These figures are a rumor at this point, but Circuit City will certainly be discounting items to liquidate inventory from their 155 defunct stores. However, these deals may not be as great as bargain hunters might expect. [Kotaku]

Nintendo DSi Says "Hello World"

While Nintendo may have sealed out DS piracy tools from use on the DSi, according to this humble YouTube clip, one Japanese hacker may have already wormed his way into the system, loading his own code despite security measures. (Unfortunately, he did not share his methods.) So while we could still be a long way from loading emulators and DS games at will, it's certainly not a bad sign when a new system gets cracked open within 3 days of its release. [GBAtemp]
