ElementC writes "Team Twiizers, the group behind almost all of the Wii Homebrew scene, has released an update to the Homebrew Channel (and installer) that allows for installation on a Wii with the most recent update installed. While the team still recommends against installing the Nintendo update, those who accidentally updated or purchase games that require the update are no longer left out to dry. This update to the Homebrew Channel also adds SDHC support, a feature Nintendo has not implemented in vanilla Wiis. The community has also created an app that updates just the Wii Shop Channel mdash; allowing users to purchase Wiiware and Virtual Console games without losing their homebrew. It took the team only two days to get the fix out."pa href="http://games.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/10/27/060224amp;from=rss"img src="http://slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?from=rssamp;op=imageamp;style=h0amp;sid=08/10/27/060224"/a/ppa href="http://games.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/10/27/060224amp;from=rss"Read more of this story/a at Slashdot./p pa href="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~a/VYyWGsHEf9GCzSxS4m5aKhm0_BY/a"img src="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~a/VYyWGsHEf9GCzSxS4m5aKhm0_BY/i" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/pimg src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~4/V3s9TV2gkRE" height="1" width="1"/

An article at Gamasutra explores the decisions by Microsoft and Sony to launch significant hardware additions mdash; their respective, upcoming motion-control schemes mdash; in the middle of a console cycle, rather than waiting until the next generations of their systems are ready. It's indicative of a change to the established pattern of console wars; nowadays, it's more about adding features and gadgets to improve existing products than developing entirely new ones. Quoting: "... for Sony and Microsoft, motion controllers are their next-gen consoles. And it's a damn sight easier than launching Xbox 720 or PS4. They can debut these peripherals without needing to engineer completely new boxes for consumers, potentially bundle them over time, and they have a much better chance at getting exclusive games, thanks to the specificity of the hardware (something that's happened a lot for the Wii). Thus, both hardware manufacturers and publishers like EA see these controllers sparking new interest in Xbox 360 and PS3, which will delay the next dreaded console transition for another few years."pa href="http://games.slashdot.org/story/09/10/17/1511203/The-Changing-Face-of-the-Console-Wars?from=rss"img src="http://slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?from=rssamp;op=imageamp;style=h0amp;sid=09/10/17/1511203"/a/ppa href="http://games.slashdot.org/story/09/10/17/1511203/The-Changing-Face-of-the-Console-Wars?from=rss"Read more of this story/a at Slashdot./p pa href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/QObXW5WUi6j0jCcYukWtRRmysnQ/0/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/QObXW5WUi6j0jCcYukWtRRmysnQ/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/abr/ a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/QObXW5WUi6j0jCcYukWtRRmysnQ/1/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/QObXW5WUi6j0jCcYukWtRRmysnQ/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/pimg src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~4/d41zZ3ZykRM" height="1" width="1"/

AP - Kathleen Byrnes and Justin Choi, a married couple attending medical school at Tulane University, say $40 is just too much to fork over for a Nintendo Wii game they might not enjoy. They haven't bought one since last fall, when they picked up Star Wars: The Force Unleashed.
