PLAYSTATION 3 $499 WIRELESS CONTROLLER UPDATE

It seems Kotaku has taken the same view we’ve currently taken on the Games Radar article about the lack of wireless controller support in the lower end model Playstation 3 – namely that it’s bunk. They point out the same spec sheet that we did as proof that the official word from Sony at this point is that both systems support bluetooth and wireless controllers. We’ll stay with the story, but as of right now, we’re not particularly worried about it. Check out the Kotaku article here.

RISE OF LEGENDS $34.99 AT CIRCUIT CITY

Intrepid reader drkphreakx let us know that this weeks sale circular from Circuit City has Rise of Legends listed as on sale for $34.99. Check the Circuit City website for your local circular, and it if it’s on sale, head on down and pick it up – I plan to. The sale is scheduled to last until the 20th, and there seems to be some type of bug with the online ordering at Circuit City’s website, which results in the game not appearing with the sale price in your basket. Hopefully they’ll get that fixed soon. Click here to head on over to Circuit City’s site. Big thanks to drkphreakx.
