The Gamer Access

I just got an interesting e-mail directly from Sony asking me to register for the MAG Beta. Looks like the beta could start any day folks.To see a screenshot of the email, click "Read More".

Today I talk about Sony's Motion Controller and the patented Break-Apart controller. Could these two forms of technology finally come together? To see the concept images I mentioned in the video, click "Read More".

The new NXE was made live overnight, so I decided to make two videos highlighting two things. The Avatar Marketplace has been significantly upgraded and has far more to offer and the Netflix app is much deeper.

So go ahead and read more if you want to see what my avatar looks like as a Gear of War, Sam Fisher and a Storm Trooper. You can also see me and Diz (Matt) go into a Netflix party.

With the imminent release of Madden 2010 just mere days away, EA and Sony held an invite-only tournament at the new Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The tournament was a huge success with more than 264 players showing up for the tournament. The line was very long and even an hour before the event started, there were close to 100 people in line, which didn’t come as a surprise considering Sony was giving away a copy of Madden 2010 early, a brand new PS3, and a free bye to the MLG event that takes place in Dallas in a few weeks.

This is our second Game Lobby episode. It's a show where we focus on games, with game clips, and leave the news to our podcast. We will have other staff members take part and hope to have some of you join in. So watch the show and let us know what we need to fix.

UPDATE: Here is a direct link to this show. http://bit.ly/wNJTO I think the embed isn't working for some people. You might have to refresh to make it load.

Here are the games we discuss:

• Fat Princess (PS3 Exclusive)
• Madden 10 Demo
• Batman: Arkham Asylum Demo
• COD: World at War Map Pack 3 (And Zombies)
• Left 4 Dead (Xbox 360 Exclusive)
• The worse game of the year (New Segment)

Sony continues their hot streak of PSN exclusive content with the recent release of WipEout HD Fury DLC. The Fury campaign could be considered by most a whole entire game on its own with its staggering 80 events in comparison to the original Wipeout HD’s campaign, which contained an impressive 87 events. That’s right folks, you’re pretty much getting double the content at $10 versus the $20 you spent for the game at launch. Valve and Microsoft maybe you guys should take notes here? But let’s get back on topic; The Fury Pack is a tremendous value with its 8 new tracks, 3 new game modes, and 13 new ship models. The Fury Pack has arguably more appeal than the original game, because it takes some of the focus off of hitting perfect lines and more focus on mayhem and destruction.

It's past midnight Sunday morning and we have a winner of the Generation X Podcast Modern Warfare 2 giveaway. I did the drawing live on twitter. Here is the video. I'm going to guess that more people would have entered if the game were the PS3 version, but it's not. See the video by reading more.
