Greenpeace Alerts From Dangerous Chemicals In Game Consoles
I don’t want to put you into panic, but i guess it is important for gamers to be aware of the possibility that game consoles might contain some hazardous chemicals with an impact on their memory and learning capabilities for the long term. The source for this latest alert is Greenpeace, who tested 3 major gaming consoles, including Xbox, PS3 and Nintento Wii. The organization has found those dangerous materials, like phthalates and bromine, in each one of the consoles, on different parts, so next time you crash your car on GTA IV, just think of the consequences. Mind you, Greenpeace offers a direct contact to the manufacturers in order to put some pressure and demand a clean up consoles. Interestingly, only Nintendo’s email has worked out.

Wiimote Cufflinks Designed For Gamers In Suits
I’m not so sure there are gamers in suits, but in any case they do decide to wear one, the new Wiimote cufflinks, made of sterling silver, can be a nice accessory to complete the look, as the front is a Wiimote and the back is a Nunchuk. Mind you, those cuffs don’t come cheap, and a pair of them will cost you $150, but it shouldn’t deter Wii fans from getting a chance to own something so unique.

Acer To Penetrate The Game Consoles Market?
I received a twitter message last night, stating there’s a rumor that Acer is planning to get into the games console market. Personally, i embrace any new player, coming into a jammed territory, i really think it can contribute to the competition and provide us, the gamers, more game titles, better graphics and advanced accessories. However, Acer need to create something really good in order to deflect our attention from PS3, Wii or XBOX 360 consoles. According to Acer Senior Vice President, James T.Wong, the company plans to create sort of an open platform console, based on “game machine” PC technology, and take this advantage to compete with all other closed and proprietary systems. Regretfully, there’s nothing more to say other then this dull info, so stay tuned.
