The biggest drop of the week is Warioware: DIY hands down. The whole thing is explained after the break but it's pretty cool.
Other than that, we've got Ogre Battle 64 from the N64 on the Virtual Console. Which is also pretty cool.

Origin systems, I haven't heard of them but their stuff looks really nice, is first to the table with some badass new PC's that flaunt the newest tech from NVIDIA. Pricing is actually pretty down to Earth too with a single card offering starting at a little over 3 G's.
Not bad guys, not bad at all- more after the break

The PSP is 5 years old today!
Yay?
There really hasn't been much to celebrate in PSP land for a while actually. The console is strong in Japan but relatively weak here in the US, running a perennial second to the Nintendo DS. Games (that are any good) have been a rarity as well. If you walk into your local Best Buy, you'll find a bunch of titles that are quite old- Toys R Us barely even carries anything.
And to top all of that off, we have the massive flop that is the PSPGo. A nice little system that didn't get any backing and had nothing going for it in the pricing department either since most games on the PSN can be had a lot cheaper at your local Gamestop.
Not really something I'd brag about- and I love my PSP by the way. Some of the older games are great- we just need some new ones... thanks God for Metal Gear.

250 gig Xbox 360 HD now available seperately
Now you can buy a jumbo HD without a new console or hacking anything! I guess this is good news if you buy a lot of movies, install a lot of games, or stick a ton of music on your Hard Drive. I don't do any of those things so I'll just stick with my 120 that came with the Elite.

Xbox LIVE update -- 'Perfect Dark' edition
That's really all you have to say about this weeks LIVE releases.
Tomorrow, Best Buy will have Modern Warfare branded 1600 points cards available for $17.99. I will be getting one. Then I will be getting this.
When PD first came out on the N64 I played it for about five minutes. I was still so wrapped up on Goldeneye that I bought and sold this gem of a game in what must have been about a week and a half. Ever since, I've been kicking myself over never having experienced it in all it's glory. Tomorrow, that will change.
I should also mention that Splinter Cell Conviction has a mighty fine demo up for download as well. That's gonna be a good one- there's some nice deals of the week too on original Xbox titles too.

Playstation Network Update - 'Pile 'O' DLC' edition
Lot of it.
There's pretty cool stuff for Dragon Age, Aliens vs Predator, and Need for Speed Shift if anyone's still playing that last one.
Also, I might add that there are actual PSOne games in this weeks update! Huzzah!! And it's good stuff too!!! Double Huzzah!!!! Alright, well it might not be good stuff to you. There's a game in this update called 'One'- it's a fairly generic action beat/shoot-em-up that came out a while back. The hook to the game is that there's a 'Rage' meter that fills up and allows for all sorts of nasty attacks.
If I remember correctly, One didn't review all that well- but it's a game that I really enjoyed back, as they say, in the day. Give it a shot if you've got some extra cash taking up space in your virtual wallet.
Oh, and why is Lady GaGa DLC in Rock Band? Not really a good fit is it? Maybe it's just me...
