I hope you enjoy today's edition of the morning news.  The most annoying piece today deals with developers caving under pressure.  Screw you JVGames for taking the beer out of pong...


For those of you who thought the Xbox Elite was safe from a RROD better think again.  The first chipset is seemingly just as bad as the original xbox 360's, and the latest chipset isn't much better.  Here is to hoping the Xbox 720 doesn't suffer from such retardation.

"It's 50!"  New 50 Cent Blood on the Sand action.  Still not sold, though it does look better than the first.


The PS3 2.41 firmware is out today.  This should fix the issues some had with 2.4 which is the first to feature in game XMB.  2.4 ran fine for me, but apparently borked some systems.

Mega Man 9
, a short little teaser showing it in all its 8-bit glory...


And last but certainly not least, JVGames has caved to media pressure and removed all aspects of beer from their upcoming Beer Pong game.  " Beer Pong: Frat Party Games is now Frat Party Games: Pong Toss"... how fricking stupid.  Maybe we can call Gears of War 2, Gears of Industrialization and take all the guns out...

ROFL @ the beer pong thing.  I'm very conservative but seriously, people are really becoming overly sensative...

Well, the Wii is a kids console. 

I can see the Wii going away after a while.  Can't see older guys playing this baby crap.  But I still want to get one, lol.

You can die from drinking too much of anything, especially water - this anti-beer thing is way overboard and conservative America needs to just move to the nursing homes already.  I'm ******* sick of it.

Buts its for the children, for the children.  You can still shoot and beat up people you just can't play any alcoholic drinking or sexual games on the Wii.

"Now son remember its good to shoot and kill and melee with others, but you cannot drink and have sex.  This is one of my American values being passed down to you."

Its amazing we still have beer commercials on tv.  Those will be gone in the future.  Mark my words.
