No Show This Week
In: Podcasts by Edie Sellers
5 Jul 2011So, if you haven’t already noticed, it’s been quiet here.
Last week, the GameHounds HQ was deep in the midst of some credit-card and identity theft, so no show was recorded. And thus, you have no show this week.
However, don’t worry: A new show will appear this coming Monday.
Episode 151: One Bitch Down, Three To Go
In: Podcasts by Edie Sellers
27 Jun 2011Hey all.
You know us. We love writing show notes. However, this morning, our esteemed podcast producer had her purse stolen and is now spending all her spare moments calling credit card companies to cancel accounts.
So, yeah. Time isn’t something we have to post notes. However, we do have the podcast.
In this final episode of Leah Haydu being a GameHounds staffer, enjoy a nice relaxed podcast.
In addition, we will be dark next week. Like we said, every spare moment replacing all that has been lost.

Amazon Lists PS Vita Release Date?
In: Articles by Edie Sellers
21 Jun 2011It’s hard to know if this is just a wild guess on the part of online retailer Amazon, or if it’s something official. But either way, when we see something in print, it merits a mention.
as having a release date of December 31, 2011.
What makes us thing that this might not be the real date and just a guess? Well, first off, December 31 is kind of a round number — it is the last day of 2011 and therefore it would be the last possible day that would hold to Sony’s “holiday 2011″ promises.
Second, it’s almost a week after Christmas. And let’s face it, Christmas is the Holy Grail of commerce. If a product manufacturer wants to really capitalize on the whole buying frenzy, it would behoove them to release it before the big day.
Third: are showing a release date of November 4 — also widely considered to be a guess. And considering that lies more than a month from Amazon’s listed date, it’s a sure bet that at least one of them is very, very wrong.
We suggest you expect a real drop date somewhere between those two. But if it turns out December 31 is the magic day, remember: You heard it here first.

Sony Reveals New PS3, Still No PS2 Backwards Compatibility
In: Articles by Edie Sellers
20 Jun 2011Look, I won’t lie. There’s been a lot of confusion about this since the news first hit. So let us spell it out for you.
It started with a noting that a new Playstation 3 is set for release. The new model — CECH-3000B — reportedly will start shipping once the current stock of PS3s runs out in Japan.
The story got quickly confirmed with a link to . After translation, here’s the details:
- Weight will be reduced from the current gen PS3s, from 3.0 kg (about 6.6 US pounds) to 2.6 kg (about 5.7 US pounds).
- Energy consumption will be reduced from 230 W to 200 W.
- Minor cosmetic changes will occur, including alterations to the power and eject buttons and the color panel, texturizing the sides, and the removal of the LED lights.
- Price will be the same as current PS3 models.
Now, here’s the low-down on one rumor: Backwards compatibility with PS2 software.
It ain’t happening. Our friends over at had of Sony’s website — hey, it happens. Bottom line, this section of Google’s tranlsation is misleading:
This product, “PlayStation 2″ are having a compatibility with proprietary software.
In fact, TQCast readers in Japan quickly pointed out that the actual translation says there will not be any Playstation 2 compatibility.
TQCast has since corrected the story.
So, once again, we’ll be waiting for that feature — unless you haven’t already bought yourself an first-gen PS3.

Did LulzSec Publish Your XBL, PayPal, Facebook Passwords?
In: Articles by Edie Sellers
19 Jun 2011The whole security thing just got very, very nasty.
On Thursday, hacker group LulzSecurity, AKA LulzSec, published a file containing passwords and email of 62,000 users of Xbox Live, PayPal, and Facebook. The group uploaded the file to file sharing sites twice: Once in its initial posting and a second time after the site removed the original file.
Though both files were quickly removed, according to Canadian , they were downloaded “thousands of times” while they were available.
The user names and passwords came primarily from US accounts, though some Canadian users were also affected, including journalists and some Canadian provincial public servants, according to the report.
Members of LulzSec posted to the group’s Twitter account boasting of exploits they’d done with the information, including hacking Facebook accounts and reportedly stealing cash from PayPal accounts.
“Envelope yourself [sic] in the sickening realization that you secretly love f–king someone’s Facebook life beyond repair,” says one tweet from LulzSec.
Are you concerned that you are one of the unlucky 62,000 who are now laid bare to hackers? Tech site Gizmodo has posted a tool to allow you to find out if you and your information were part of the file.
You can find the tool at .
