Sony has announced that it’s marking the June launch of ‘Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker’ with a limited edition Walkman W252 MP3 player.

The model comes clad in camouflage but I’m not entirely sure that it will increase your power to sneak around.

The Metal Gear: Solid Peace Walker Walkman W252 will come bundled with 6 pre-loaded music tracks from the game as well as an in-carton code to unlock new characters.

The Walkman product placement goes deep in the game with iconic versions of various Walkman models littered about the place – including the first ever Walkman cassette player from back in 1979…….. ah, the memories……

The Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker Walkman W252 (phwew!) is wireless so there’s no risk of getting it all caught up in barbed wire or your mid game pizza. It packs 2GB of storage which is enough space for 470 songs and has a three-minute quick charge function that’ll give you 90 minutes worth of juice.

The Walkman W252 is able to put up with the British weather when you’re out for a run as well as the sweat of a gruelling gym session. After exercising, just rinse under the tap or even keep plugged in during your shower.

Sony hasn’t announced how much the camo’d version will cost but the standard ‘civi’ Walkman W252 is available now for around £49.

Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker is scheduled for release on June 18 and expect these Sony earpleasers to break cover around the same time.

Xbox 360 Slim Bundled with Natal Soon

by Jay Garrett on April 26, 2010

Word on the interweblogosphere is that Microsoft will out a slim Xbox 360 as part of a new Project Natal bundle.

The skinny Xbox is made possible thanks to new, smaller, graphics chips – perhaps this can be paired-up with a more efficient/quieter fan? ;)

The generally reliable ‘Surfer Girl’ goes on to say that the new Xbox 360 will be painted black from now on instead of its current white livery when it pops out at the end of the year.

SG also has a little nibble that the Metal Gear Solid series is coming to 360 with a Natal-controlled installment – plenty of jumping and such coming soon then :)

Thumbnail image for Use Your Android G1 as a Metal Detector! True!

With Cupcake apparently flying through the air I thought I’d report on another “great” thing to happen to G1′s. Apparently the built-in compass of the G1 can be used as a metal detector – not a very powerful one by the looks of things but it does work. So, if you can’t see those keys [...]

If you’re a Metal Gear Solid fan you’ve probably seen the teaser campaign. If you’re an XBox 360 owner, however, you may be confused when you see that the next MGS fix is coming out on the iPhone (I’m guessing that the iPod Touch will also be able to rock this as well). It has been [...]

Open Source Stomp Box Effects Pedal For Geeky Guitarists – Coyote-1

Now here’s a thing. To get your own custom effects pedal can be a little on the expensive side – so why not do a Brian May and build your own? The OpenStomp Coyote-1, whilst still in the prototype phase, seems a pretty well thought-out open source guitar effects module. It has a Parallax Propeller 8-core processor running at 80MHz [...]
