Hello friends..
I just shifted to a new home and lost my PlayStation 3 controller during transportation. So I am looking at buying a new one and pretty much interested in wireless one. I searched around and found DUALSHOCK 3 wireless controller at Sears for $54.99 discount deal. It provides the most intuitive game play experience with pressure sensors in each action button and the inclusion of the highly sensitive SIXAXIS motion sensing technology, but it seems out of my budget. Does anyone know where can I best quality Wireless controller at lowest price? Any direct link will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks..

For Team Fortress 2 Fans, we've been waiting long enough for the engineer update. So as in the usual way of Valve, we will have to wait even longer, or "soon" as they say. Wonder what our little engi will be making soon...

Team Fortress 2 - The Engineer Update Teaser

A Team Fortress 2 update has been released. The update includes a new community map cp_freight and some class balancing acts. If you run a TF2 server, this update breaks SourceMod/Metamod and causes the server to crash, if it even starts. We removed the addons directory and the server is running fine, like everyone else we're waiting for SM/MM updates to be released.

Added new community map cp_freight
Added missing physics models for several items
Added jiggle bones to the Sam & Max items, and The Buff Banner
Added Crit-a-Cola

Fixed Linux servers not relisting correctly after a master server restart
Fixed a case where servers could have "ghost" players consuming player slots

The Huntsman changes

Thank you for sharing this with us....

For those of you that have been anxiously awaiting this feature for your Nintendo console, Netflix has finally made it to the Wii! The disc that is required to use the service on the Wii has already begun shipping as of the writing of this article. Setting up the service on the system is quite simple and Joystiq was kind enough to provide you with a walkthrough of the set-up process as well as some of the features of the service on the Wii.

It is very similar to how the service works on the other consoles although, for obvious reasons, there is no HD streaming. The Netflix membership required to take advantage of on-demand viewing on your Wii is only $8.99/month and it is well worth it (it also allows you to watch on any computer you want) in my humble opinion.

If you didn’t reserve a disc already, you can request one from Netflix here. Once you have received it you can return to the same link to activate it. We have used it for months through our Xbox and absolutely love it, so be sure and check this out!

In case you haven’t heard, it has been announced that the rather popular Modern Warfare 2 ‘Stimulus Package’ DLC will be coming out for PC and PlayStation 3 on May 4th. The Stimulus Package contains five new multiplayer maps (two of which are remade from the original Modern Warfare) and will cost $15.

The package was released on Xbox Live on March 30th along with a lot of industry consternation at its fifteen dollar price-tag. The DLC has sold 2.5 million copies on the Xbox, grossing Activision a cool 37.5 million dollars for this one piece of DLC – and on Xbox alone.
