My Tech Buyer's Guide from 2000 Is Pretty Hilarious

Nine years ago, as a young tech reporter at Time Magazine, I co-wrote a buyer's guide with the latest and greatest gear known to man. Today, it sounds ridiculous. More »

Woah, This Samurai Warrior USB Gamepad is All Kinds of Freaky

Seriously, those green LED eyes would stare questioningly, deep into my soul while I tweak its switchable analog/digital nipples. It's modeled after the DualShock controller, and supports the PS3, PS2, and PCs. It looks bizarre, and I like it. More »

PS2 Compatibility Never Returning to the PlayStation 3

Sony pretty much implied that backward compatibility was dead when they released the PS3 Slim (without PS2 support), but just in case, Sony's John Koller put a few nails in that coffin during two recent interviews. More »

Use Sony's DualShock on the Nintendo Wii, Then Giggle Like a Super Villain

Why buy Nintendo's fancy Wii Classic Controller or humiliatingly turn the Wiimote sideways when your old PS/PS2 controllers are perfectly fine? Import this DualShock to Wii adapter for just under $20 and no one will even notice. [Gametech via Kotaku]

Sony Patent Teases Power Ring LED Wiimotes

Remember that crazy, bulbous PS3 motion controller spotted in a Sony patent app? Well a newly uncovered Sony application is slightly less Requiem for a Dream and slightly more Captain Planet. More »

Audiovox Co-Branded Playstation 2s Coming to Cars

Audiovox will be releasing custom PS2 consoles for cars.Apparently Sony has handed over PS2 hardware to Audiovox (surely through some sort of co-beneficial licensing agreement), who has then re-cased the hardware and added their own tweaks like wireless outputs (allowing the whole car to share one system). Available in 6 months for a $200 premium over existing in-car entertainment systems, there will be a front overheard pop-out version of the system (left) as well as backseat units (right). It's sort of like the soccer mom version of pimping one's ride.

PS2 Gets 1:1 Swordfighting Game Using EyeToy

It looks like the PS2 is going to beat the Wii MotionPlus to market in delivering one-to-one swordfighting. It's using the EyeToy—the camera peripheral released in 2003—to map your motions with a toy sword onto actions taking place on the screen. You'll get "first person gameplay" where "you are the hero of the game," and from the cartoony screenshots, it doesn't seem too bad. Hmmmm. One-to-one swordfighting might be used pretty well in another industry, if you know what I mean. [Dark Zero via Kotaku]
