The new dashboard is
expected
this Autumn, in November.
Rumour has it that, unsurprisingly, Halo 4 is in the works, but by Gearbox.
The US Xbox 360 price-cut is definitely on - a variety of new sources are now proving the cut is inevitable.
There's Joystiq Radioshack proof right here.
Unsurprisingly, after the surge of Japanese Xbox 360 sales last week, 360 sales have fallen back to earth in the far-east.
Bit-tech has a review of a replacement case for your Xbox 360 - making it quieter and more like a PC. Yay.

It seems the new 80GB PS3 may in fact also come with a 65nm RSX chip according
to
owners.
The PSP has surpassed 10 million sales in Japan, despite a dearth of quality triple-A titles.

PSP firmware 2.5
I think the last firmware version for my PSP is 4.05, or am I missing something?PS3 not PSP
Its the PS3 firmware 2.5 that will have screen grabbing I thing it was a type-oPS firmware
It's for PS 3 (see the link)Wow...avatars...how quaint and twee!
So we get very little in the way of new features for the 360 for ages (cept a half-arsed attempt at DivX capability) and all we get is a dubious new flying window front end and...AVATARS!I mean come on are we 12 years old? Am I the only one that thinks avatars are really quite childish and pathetic?
How about custom monitor support, external USB HDD support or a decent priced HDD drive that will actually allow us to use some media on the damn thing?
I mean being able to copy the game to the HDD..wow thats a great feature for the 85% of us with no HDD or the 20Gb (read 13Gb) HDD.
I really do think MS are winding the 360 down for the next one. Shame.
