PlayStation Now Extra Spotty and Interested In Girls, as it turns 15

TV Tricklesaver Makes Sure Standby Consoles Don't Cost You Money
The Tricklesaver does two things: detect when your TV is off, and cuts off power to whatever console is plugged in so it doesn't waste power when "off". This is good, in theory. -

Ben Heck Mods Atari 7800 into Portable Retro-Gaming Wonder
Modding clever-clogs Ben Heck was apparently daunted by the complexity of the Atari 7800's internals at first, so he had to summon up the nerve to try this requested mod. Into the custom-built chassis he squeezed a 7-inch color widescreen display, a set of rechargeable batteries, combo driving/paddle controller and an A-V output. Though it's not exactly pocket-friendly (thanks to the 7800's large motherboard) it's still pretty awesome—check out the gallery. Ben's site has a detailed making-of story if you're interested. Now, if you excuse me... I'm off to reminisce about playing Pole Position. [Ben Heck via Hackaday] -

Atari's Family Trainer Is Wii Fit Meets NES Power Pad Meets DDR
Atari isn't going to let Nintendo hog all the video game fitness money, as evidenced by the announcement of Family Trainer for the Wii. It's pretty similar to Wii Fit in that people stand on it and do activities, but it doesn't weigh you and actually has pads for you to jump or step on. No price yet, but is there enough room in your house for both this and the Wii Fit? How many more photoshoots of Japanese people jumping around their living rooms are we going to get in this console generation? [Reg Hardware] -
