Just one day after Rockstar Games announced that Manhunt 2 had secured an M Rating in the US, media watchdog group Campaign For a Commercial-Free Childhood has challenged the decision by the ESRB to re-rate the game, and is demanding to know why it has been allowed a lower rating than the previously Adult Only (AO) it received.
I think we'd all like to know what was cut from Manhunt 2, but only one thing's for sure. Manhunt 2. October 31st.
Yah, the new Portal is bright- it's a stock theme and if it floats we will customize it later. Our Forums are also back online and brighter too, again another stock style which will likely be updated once we have some freetime.
Our Staff isn't the only one who can post news here now, anyone can and link to their own page with the related files, etc in their articles. This is now a community effort to keep people updated on the latest PS3 and other news that would interest techies and gamers alike.

Finally, we have a lot more to do before this is done (for example, move this from /new/ on the server and fix some sub-domain stuff) so please bear with us over the next few days and th... More »

Need for Speed Pro Street officially locked down its street date today. The game is gearing up for an Oct. 31 release in the United States and Nov. 1 in Europe.
In a first for the Need for Speed series, Pro Street allows players to build their own cars and then take them around the world to compete in multidisciplinary races.
The game is being released for the PC, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable, Wii, DS and mobile devices.
Using the free orb software you can stream media from your PC to your Wii PS3 or 360. It converts on the fly making it very simple to use. Older versions do better video streaming though.
If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. Or at least that appears to be the thinking (not to mention the timing) behind Sony's white PS2 as Nintendo's Wii continues to outsell the competition.
Sony announced on Wednesday plans for a limited edition Ceramic White PlayStation 2 bundled with SingStar Pop, two USB microphones, and a single white Dual-Shock controller. The bundle launches this November for $150.
Granted, Wii doesn't own the patent on the color white; that one belongs to Apple. And even though Wii similarities abound, the announcment shouldn't take anything away from the PS2. To date the system has sold an unprecedented 117 million worldwide, 44 million in North America alone. In fact, PS2 is still the second best selling console in the world some seven years after its initial release.
A leaked version of the wiikey firmware update is available on several websites. While the leaked firmware is indeed working and has all of the announced features, it has not yet been fully tested and does not come with the configuration and recovery discs. A full version will be available from wiikey.cn very soon.
- audiofix fixed o_0
- dual layer support (no bitsetting required)

Nintendo's Wii continues to dominate the Japanese console market, according to latest sales figures.
Nintendo sold nearly a quarter of a million machines during August, whilst Sony sold just over 80,000 PlayStation 3s and Microsoft just 11,000 Xbox 360s.
The sales figures, released by Japanese game magazine publisher Enterbrain, confirm a trend seen in other markets.
