I've been reading reports by "analysts" who say that Nintendo is going to dominate the console gaming market until 2009/2010.

Huh? How does a console which is mediocre at best dominate?

Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge Wii fan. And when I got mine I realized that this is truly an innovative console. Well at least parts of it is.

While it's true that the controller is truly innovative, which leads to very innovative gameplay, overall I don't see the rest of the console being innovative.

Well M$ began cracking down on modded Xbox 360's again. We have multiple reports that the big M has begun cracking down on modded Xbox 360's and disallows them from the Xbox Live service.

What's interesting is that only the console is removed, not the user account which means the user can still access Live from an unmodified console should they wish to do so.

In other news, we've been bringing you parts of a series on turning a 360 into a laptop complete with screen and keyboard. Now we can bring you Part 3 - the final installment which shows how to install the LCD screen, putting everything into the case, modding the keyboard and attaching all latches and USB ports

So, if you've been banned from Live and are tired of M$'s attempts to smother your creative freedom, perhaps you should attempt the ultimate Xbox mod and turn your 360 into a laptop? :)

Cheap too :)

Now all you need is a Wii to use it.

This Wii Cooler is under 20 bucks, has a high speed fan to help keep your Wii Cool and uses a USB port.

And, oh ya, did we say it was cool?

I can't believe what our society is coming to.

Now normally I'm not political. I try to keep fairly even on this blog. But when I heard that Paris Hilton has a petition on her MySpace to keep her out of jail I couldn't believe it.

She broke the law and now she wants special treatment? What's up with that? Personally I don't think she deserves special treatment. In fact I know she doesn't.

You know, if she did a little drunk driving that's one thing. After all she got nothing but a slap on the wrist for that. But to then violate her probation that's another, and for that she should go to jail.

In reality what should have happened in the first place for her is counceling.

Hmm.

So I went away for a mini-holiday camping for the weekend and you know what? The world of gaming consoles went on without me. Or did it?

After all, I went through hundreds of new posts on a few dozen forums, blogs and news sites and only came up with one thing worth mentioning in the console world.

Maybe I do have more influence that I thought? :)

We first brought you mention of a 360 laptop here with a link to instructions. And since then others have come out with similar mods.

For example, Engadget has a very thorough instruction list on building your own Xbox 360 laptop.
