Each year at E3 there are the great booths/vendors and the bad ones. Well one of the baddies from last year returned this year and it seemed to be a waste of money. Here’s a quick little clip of the sarcasm of Andru and Jesse.

Nintendo To Broadcast DS Demos Wirelessly At E3
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Portable/Mobile, Wireless,
This was on Nintendo’s press site this morning:
Don’t forget to bring your Nintendo DS™ system to the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los Angeles next week. The massive Nintendo booth will feature an area dedicated to DS Download Play. Visitors can try out sample versions of Nintendo games delivered wirelessly, video content – and a few surprises. Be sure to check it out.
This will essentially allow anyone with a Nintendo DS on them to avoid many of the lines to play the new Nintendo DS titles. This is a very strategic move on Nintendo’s part. I am going to eat this up.

Burnout coming to PSP
Posted by Jesse Easley Categories: Driving, Internet, Portable/Mobile, Wireless,
EA Games has announced that they will be bringing the hit series Burnout to the PSP. Burnout has been a popular game from day one being known for it’s speed, aggressive driving, and of course the crashes. The new installment, Burnout Legends, will consist of key features from the first three games as well as some exclusive features for the PSP title. This game will have 8 game play modes, a WiFi mode, and a Game Share mode allowing you to share a demo level with a friend if they don’t have to game. Burnout Legends will be displayed at E3 and we will make sure to give you the update from there.
“Burnout Legends is the perfect quick gaming fix for the PSP,” said Alex Ward, creative director, Criterion Games. “As anyone who’s played Burnout can tell you, a quick 30 second crash junction can be just as satisfying as a two-hour multiplayer session – and that’s the hallmark of a perfect PSP game.”

Nintendo plans on bringing yet another touch-enabled application to the Nintendo DS, and this one is a real winner. Touch Dic. Sounds (not so) innocent enough, right? Touch Dic will include a dictionary, hence the “Dic” part, and a calculator. Leave it to the Japanese to continually come up with funny ways to say things. It is safe to say that the product will be rebranded if and when it hits the states. Gamecube Europe provides a link to the Japanese site that has been created for Touch Dic. Pokemon pr0n not included.

How To: Throw A PSP WiFi LAN Party
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Features, Portable/Mobile, Wireless,
The PSP is one heck of a little game system that promises almost Star Trek-like wireless multi-player gaming. You can have a Wireless LAN gaming session with friends without having to carry a desktop PC, string Ethernet all over some dank basement, or worry about some loser running an aim-bot. But alas one of the problems of many PSP gamers is that not that many of one’s friends have invested their two hundred and fifty bucks for a PSP of their very own. How cool would it be to throw your own public PSP wireless LAN party?

Review: SanDisk 256 MB Memory Stick Duo Card for PSP
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Accessories, Features, Portable/Mobile, Reviews,
So Jake from 8bitJoystick has decided to join us here at Gear Live and PlayFeed, and we are very happy to have him. You can look forward to his weekly column, set to publish this week. For now, take a look at a sample of his work.
Yesterday I decided that it was not worth the wait and money to get a 1-Gig MemoryStick Duo card for my PSP and I picked up a much more reasonable 256 Meg MemoryStick Duo made by SanDisk. They have a new line of cards that are all bright colors that is deliberately trying to go after the PSP gamer market. I am glad that there is some competition for manufacturing MemorySticks for the PSP. I do remember when there was a drought of PS2 Memory Cards and it did suck ever so hard.

Rock Ridge VRX-02 Puts Video On The PSP
Posted by Jesse Easley Categories: Accessories, Portable/Mobile,
It’s not often that a third party accessory gets me hyped up, so when one finally does, it deserves some attention. Rock Ridge Sound Japan has new accessory being released called the VRX-02. Many PSP owners are trying to get that 1GB Memory Stick Duo to hold video transferred from their computer. The VRX-02 allows users to hook up DVD Players and their PSP and the VRX will transfer the movie to your PSP in the appropriate file format. To us this is a huge deal. The release of this accessory pretty much puts the UMD movie format to rest for those in the know. Currently we don’t know if there are any plans for a US release, or if the Japanese unit will work with American DVD players, but we hope to find out soon.

So my PlayStation Portable finally arrived yesterday, via Gratis, and I was a bit concerned about what I would see upon booting it up. After hearing of all the problems with dead pixels, dust under the screen, and the like, who knew what shape this thing would be in? I am glad to say that my PSP does not have any of the aforementioned issues. It plays Lumines perfectly, without any of those pesky distractions. Unfortunately, it appears that the initial million PSP’s are gone, because this one came with a teaser disc instead of the Spider-Man 2 UMD. Oh well.
