This isn’t the first time that we have covered one of TRITTON’s gaming headsets, and if the company keeps making headphones of this quality, then it won’t be the last, either.

Although the AX 720 is designed to work with the XBox, PS3, and PC, it certainly would give the gamer the most mileage if used with the first two. The AX720 includes a 720 AMP, and it is designed as a Dolby Digital recorder to place the gamer into a whole new realm of sound.

No software CD was included with the setup, but you will need to set it up with the optical cable if you really want to experience the full effect of the sound with the included AMP.

Take a gander at this sweet looking Wii peripheral. Yes, that is right, it is nothing more than a full scale replica of a Heckler and Koch MP5 sub machine gun made for Wii games.

This gun features a built in Wiimote, Nunchuk, MotionPlus sensor, rechargeable battery, speaker, and even rumble support. This isn’t the first time someone has made a gun-type controller for the Wiimote, or one that could house the Nunchuk. However, I can’t figure out for the life of me where the Wiimote or Nunchuk fits on this apparatus.

Those who want to see Wii accessories that are more exciting than the black Wiimote and Nunchuck might appreciate the Wii Cyberbike.

The Wii Cyberbike is what its box implies, a stationary bike designed for the Wii. It comes with a game that involves the player biking around the world picking up pollution, or something. Apparently, this world in the game is something not of this world, as the island on the side of the box implies. (Something about that island reminds me of Myst, for some odd reason.)

I’m told that the Wii Cyberbike is also going to work with Wii Mario Kart, but I’m guessing for only one player. Let’s hope this isn’t the player who travels the slowest because he or she has to pedal while his or her competitors have motorized autos.

Everyone knows that there is an upcoming new color for the Wii Remote controller and Nunchuk controller, where it will be available in Henry Ford’s favorite color back in the day where the Model T was the hottest thing on four wheels. Just in case you are still clueless, we’re talking about the color known as black – where those who mark November 16 on their calendars can look forward to a new black Wii Remote controller that will be accompanied by a black Wii MotionPlus accessory at a suggested retail price of $49.99. For those who want to complete the experience, a black Nunchuk controller will be going for $19.99 a pop.

Electronic Arts normally dabbles in video games, but this time round they aim to get kids more involved with reading by announcing the development of FLIPS, an innovative new book range that was specially developed for the Nintendo DS. FLIPS aims to offer kids regardless of age a fun and creative method of reading their favorite tomes. Working with several of the UK’s leading publishers of children’s books and magazines, soon schoolchildren with a DS can enjoy modern classic titles from critically acclaimed authors such as Cathy Cassidy, Eoin Colfer, Enid Blyton, alongside various writers from the popular boys series, ‘Too Ghoul for School’ on their handheld console. Each FLIPS title will boast multiple books and the first four titles will be released exclusively on Nintendo DS when December 4th rolls around in the UK. Individual FLIPS title will come with six to eight books, and will be sold separately with an expected price tag of ￡24.99. Now parents have one less excuse to prevent their kids from getting a Nintendo DS, eh?

Want to get hold of the latest offering from Sony? It will be one with a gaming slant this time round – the new Sony PSP Go, also known by its model number PSP-N1000. Out in North America a few months after it debuted in Japan, the $249.99 handheld console will target consumers who want to bring their entertainment along with them wherever they go. Currently, there are 16,000 pieces of digital content available for PSP owners to purchase/download over the PlayStation Network, ranging from games to popular TV shows, and this number looks set to grow by leaps and bounds so that the UMD-less PSP Go will have a greater chance of survival. We’re not too sure whether the $249.99 price point will prevent it from selling tons, but we do know there is always a bunch of loyal early adopters who absolutely adore Sony to provide decent sales figures in the beginning. If you already own a Sony PSP, would you fork out money that can pick up a Wii with change to spare instead of the PSP Go?

If you have yet to find that perfect spot for your Wii Sensor Bar, perhaps you just don’t have the right thing holding it secure.  Instead of just sticking it to the top or bottom of your TV like every other person on this earth, you can have Darth Vader hold it steady for you.  Having Darth Vader to hold it steady will definitely improve your game.  How could it not?!

Nintendo follows the footsteps of Sony and Microsoft by slashing the price of its Wii system, where you can now pick it up for $199.99. Of course, taking a look around at online deals might help you save more as selected stores do offer some sort of further rebate or throw in a free game of your choice at that price point. This $50 price cut might not be effective enough to stem the tide of rejuvenated PS3 Slim sales (moving more than a million units within a week of its availability worldwide), but it does help make casual gaming all the more affordable in time for the upcoming holiday season that will see the world start loosening their wallets a little bit more. Each $199.99 purchase of the Nintendo Wii will come with the Wii Remote, Nunchuk and a copy of Wii Sports to get you started right out of the box. Any converts?
