New additions to the Sony PlayStation catalogue were revealed by Sony Europe. The two new devices will "transform them (PS3 & PSP) to general-purpose devices." First up is the PlayTV, which is the official TV tuner for PS3. It features dual DVB-T tuners that can either record digital Freeview broadcasts of two shows or play one and record the other. The system supports the full performance of the PS3 and records the output in 1080p (if the show and the TV support it). There is a software update for PlayTV that brings the weeks guide to make more efficient the process. Additionally Sony also announced software and hardware updates for the PSP. PSP owners can play or 'queue' shows via the Internet and transfer 'downscaled' version of the shows to a Memory Stick via the USB. Sony with their deal partner British Telecom has formulated the Go! Messenger service; the Go! Cam add-on allows video and voice-chats with other users. Sony announced the Go!Explore as well. It is an adaptation of the PSP-GPS unit that combines an add-on GPS receiver and a IMD map library. Like most GPS units this one too provides 3D view, POI, multi-lingual support and with the WiFi link one can download extra info on maps to the Memory Stick. Sony will also offer pay-preview video downloads from TV network SKY for its British and Irish users so that they can view them on the PSP or sideload them to the PC for a better view. No word on the pricing of the PS3 or PSP devices or GPS services, but the Go!Explore (priced between $135-$200, depending on region) will be out in early 2008. Via - 
Reviving the SideWinder name, Microsoft brings on the gaming mouse under the same. What really makes this mouse unique is that it's the first mouse ever to feature an LCD display. You can view DPI settings and macro recording icons on the mouse. Though they don't spell it out, but this mouse will require Windows for functioning. The three buttons instantly switch between DPI 400, 800, and 2000; or simply customize the settings using special software. The unique shape and button positions are engineered for fast, comfortable, precise gaming action, thus helping you to become a pro at the game. The mouse comes with a Cable Anchor plus Accessories Storage Box. There is a Quick Launch button and Five Programmable Main Buttons as well. With the Microsoft SideWinder Gaming Mouse, you can even select the mouse weight with the included 4 weights, giving you the choice to adjust your mouse weight anywhere between 5 and 30 grams (in 5-gram increments). There is a choice of three different materials for glide preference and a wide metal scroll wheel plus vertical metal side buttons. The mouse will be out in October for $80.
