Before the days of the PSP and the DS, only one name came to mind when it came to portable gaming - the Nintendo Game Boy. Since its launch in 1989, the Game Boy made its mark in the gaming industry, pioneering a new level in portable gameplay. For its contributions and millions of satisfied users, the Museum of Play has now honored the handheld by including it in its National Toy Hall of Fame.

This week's edition of MCV reveals that there are two new bundles coming the way of Xbox 360 fans, and these will reportedly involve Star Trek and Transformers 2.

For those who simply can't go through a game without showin' some Trophy (or Achievement) lovin', Infinity Ward has specified the badges you will be earning in Modern Warfare 2 (Xbox 360, PS3, and PC) to show off your prodigious skills (or that you have so much time on your hands).

Japan sure is lucky! They're getting both the PS3 and Xbox 360 bundles for Pro Evolution Soccer 2010 starting November, thanks to Konami. The bundles will reportedly cost JP¥ 38,000 (UK£265/ US$ 422.38). Bundle details after the jump.

Quite frankly, the track record of Ars Technica's mole astounds me. Remember that Xbox 360 Elite bundle rumor he spread out last week? It's just been confirmed by Microsoft along with another bundle for those in the market for an extra controller.

This confirmation came from a retail source, but as it's not from Sony, we're gonna have to stash this in the Rumor bin for now. According to NowGamer, the much-talked about 250GB PS3 Slim model will be coming out soon. As in next week soon.

Ars Techinca's mole has one hell of a track record. For one, he (or she) correctly predicted the price cuts that the PS3 and Xbox 360 just got. Now the mole has some dirt on what Microsoft has planned for the holidays.

Lots of things happened this week on the QJ.NET PSP blog. A new firmware update came out, we saw some intriguing new Sony tech that'll supposedly be made available to game devs, and we also got a little reassurance from Sony that they ain't forgetting about no UMDs, no sirree. The software side wasn't too bad either thanks to the run-up to this year's Tokyo Game Show. Hit the jump for the rest of the week's happenings in the PSP Weekend Warrior.

Whether you're a PS3, Xbox 360, or PC gamer, Mad Catz has you covered when it comes to Modern Warfare 2 (Xbox 360, PS3, and PC). The third-party peripheral maker has unveiled the new fancy controllers and accessories they have in store for the game. Images and text walls after the jump.

Sony isn't the only one happy about the recent surge in PS3 sales. According to a report from GamesIndustry, retailers in the UK have also praised the console's new lower price point, calling it "excellent" and "especially effective."
