PSP main man John Koller went to Gamespot to talk about the upcoming PSP Brite, and revealed a few key facts. He admits the change is “minor,” one in a continuing series of changes the PSP may see along its proposed life cycle. Most revealing of all is his comment about battery life: the brighter screen will draw more power, diminishing battery life by 20-30 minutes.
Here’re some new images from Need for Speed: Undercover , the twelfth installment of the popular racing video game series Need for Speed.

2K Sports has announced today their annual hockey game has gone gold and is ready for production. If you can’t wait until the September 9th releases date, downloaded demos are available right now on Xbox Live and Playstation Network.

This is also the very first hockey game being released for the Wii, and it allows you to use the Wii Remote as a hockey stick. Let’s see how that turns out, eh? Full release after the jump.
2K Sports Announces NHL® 2K9 Has Gone Gold
Hockey fans cheer with game now in production and ready to launch on September 9

We just have to trust Sony when it says that its new KDL-40ZX1 LCD TV is the world’s thinnest so far. Measuring a mere 9.9mm, this 40-inch LCD beauty weighs 12.2kg. Makes you wonder where it puts all that weight considering that it is so thin?
Anyway, the KDL-40ZX1 is said to feature wireless video reception which Sony has dubbed the Bravia 1080 Wireless. In addition, this LCD panel also features a 3000:1 contrast ratio, a full 1080p HD resolution, three HDMI ports, both a digital and analog tuner, as well as LAN and USB ports.
Samsung appears to have made an incredibly hot little item. They call it the X360, which seems to infringe equally on Microsoft and Lenovo’s trademarks. Samsung took aim at the MacBook Air’s form factor and seems to have succeeded at taking some of the shine off of Apple’s wispy little offering. The X360 weighs slightly less (1.27kg) and although it doesn’t look quite as svelte, it sports quite a few more features: 3 USB ports, HDMI and VGA out, ExpressCard/34 slot, a memory card reader, 128GB SSD, and all the usual fixings. It has a 13.3″ screen and runs on an unspecified (probably selectable) Intel Centrino processor.
They don’t mention the dimensions, which is telling — sounds like they haven’t got Apple beat there. You just wait, Apple! Samsung got they eye on you.
Russian game developers Biart Studios have announced that their upcoming console shooter Underwater Wars will also make an appearance on the PSP. Underwater Wars is a 3rd-person action game currently in development for the Xbox 360 and Sony PS3. In the game you play a member of an elite US Navy Seal outfit that spends a lot of time underwater (hence the clunky title). According to the developers, the game takes place in a near-future conflict between China and the West, in which aquatic environments play a key role.
The console game uses on its own proprietary graphics engine, called the biEngine, and features both overland and underwater environments. The developers also promise that these will be fully destructible. There is no word yet on whether the PSP version will be a straightforward port of the console title or a different experience entirely.
While we aren’t quite sure how a full-fledged console game will translate to the portable system, we are excited to hear that developers are continuing to support the handheld, at a time when developer support in the West appears to be waning.

Microsoft has confirmed the rumor floating around last week that IE 8 would get its own “porn mode”—or “private browsing mode” if you insist on being mature about it. Amusingly enough, they have dubbed their service InPrivate, which sounds even filthier if you ask me. Beta 2 is now available here.
