Holiday promotions are great! Do you remember that Walmart was running an ad featuring a $199 Xbox 360 Arcade console with a $100 gift card? Well, Amazon certainly doesn’t want to lose out, and it has matched Walmart’s deal. There are only limited units, so you’d better get yours fast! The first batch has already sold out, but the deal should be running around at 12pm EST, 9am PST.

The Xbox 360 wireless N adapter is back in style after showing up but for a moment at US retail sites, where it has made its 802.11n return on Costco's site, boasting a November 10th shipping date alongside a more pocket-friendly price of $88. Hopefully this isn't another false appearance only to be yanked off store shelves shortly thereafter.

It seems that NVIDIA's CEO, Jen-Hsun Huang isn't too surprised over the allegations by New York's attorney general that Intel has illegally tried to maintain its monopoly.; That being said, he reminds us that NVIDIA have far superior products to Intel, and that people are busy buying their graphics processors. NVIDIA is in a rather uncomfortable position, as it's locked in a legal battle with Intel, preventing NVIDIA from making chipsets from Intel's Core i series of chips. Has Intel been maintaining its monopoly via illegal means? What do you think?

If gaming plays an extremely large role in your life, then you might want to check out this piece of furniture - the PS3 Coffee Table. Designed by Stephane Perruchon, this video game inspired coffee table will boast handmade PS3 controllers (in a much larger scale, of course) that function as a base, alongside two handles made of ABS followed by buttons as decorations. Available in black and white colors, we have no idea on how much they cost but we're sure gamers won't mind forking out some moolah for this to grace their living rooms, eh?

Here's a full scale LEGO NES reproduction that shares virtually the same dimensions as the original, complete with video and audio connectors alongside gamepads with flexible cables that were made out of solid pieces. Other included items to up the realism value include pushable buttons and a funtional front-loading mechanism where you can insert the included Tetris cartridge. Now this is something that all geeks with a penchant for LEGO would love to own…

We all know that Netflix will be offering video streaming for the PS3, and that this feature will be made available to PS3 owners before the year is over. Which isn't too far away, actually, so if you're a Netflix subscriber (and own a PS3 at the same time), might we suggest that you get a copy of the Netflix disc in order to get ready for the big kahuna when it happens?

Folks living in Japan are a spoilt bunch, as they tend to get exciting offers when it comes to consumer electronics and gaming compared to other people around the world. Sony will keep gamers in Japan happy with two new packs that will come with the PSP-3000 within, although one of them comes with a new pouch, a 4GB Memory Stick and a cloth with SCEI logo, while the other has Monster Hunter Portable 2G accompanying your purchase.

Thrustmaster's latest accessory for the Wii would be the T-Freestyle NW that was specially designed to play nice with all skate and snowboard games on the weakest console of the current generation. It would be pretty hardy being crafted from genuine maple, sporting a "skull" design right on the top. Just to make sure you don't topple over like Humpty Dumpty, a safety stoppers was included. Expect to pick up the Thrustmaster T-Freestyle NW for $29.99.

Always wanted to have many different pinball machines in your room? Well, welcome to the digital age. Nanotech’s Multipin is a digital pinball simulator, allowing you to choose from 17 pinball machines from that single cabinet. If 17 different versions aren’t enough, word is that Nanotech is planning to offer upgrade packs with additional tables for you to load in. It features a large 32-inch 720p high-definition LCD, so that should be good enough for you satisfy your pinball cravings, don’t you think?

We’re not sure why Nintendo likes giving us the snub, but it seems that folks who pick up the new Zelda game (Spirit Tracks) in Japan will be given a nice little transparent quill stylus for their loyalty, and we’re not talking about pre-ordering the game or something, just buying the game on launch day is enough. Hopefully Nintendo will do that same in the US, but somehow we’re skeptical.

Try as it might, the JXD2000 is no PSP clone despite coming with a 4.3" LCD display at 480 x 272 resolution. You will be able to play games on this though, but don't expect the latest and greatest since it has but a mere NES/GBA emulator built in. Features include an integrated FM radio, voice recording functionality, USB 2.0 connectivity, TV out and 8GB of internal memory to get you started.

Thrustmaster is a name associated with gaming peripherals, and this time round they are offering new ones for the Wii platform with the T-Charge Stand Contactless+ NW leading the way, where it will hold your Wii console while leaving a charging area on either side. All you need to do is park your Wiimotes in their respective charging cradles for an optimal gaming situation at all times. This stand will retail for $39.99 a pop. Alternatively, you can also charge up your Wiimotes with the T-Charge Quattro+ NW that comes with a quartet of rechargeable batteries alongside a stand that holds two Wii remotes vertically.

When the Wii was released, everybody envisioned amazing sword battles with their friends, but things didn’t get really cool until they released the MotionPlus add on for the Wiimote. Now it seems that the upcoming Zelda game will utilize the MotionPlus add on, giving users the potential for 1-to1 motion control, meaning we could probably have some really amazing sword fights. Apparently the MotionPlus will also be used to improve the targeting in the game, unlike in the previous game where you aimed at things by pointing at the screen.

Just how much more affordable do you think the Xbox 360 Arcade can get? This $199 bundle will apparently come with a $100 gift card from Walmart from this Saturday onwards, which is great news if this rumor turns out to be true. No idea on how many casual gamers would pick up this bundle though.
