Pepsi in Japan includes free Mario Bros. tape

I wish our Pepsi was this cool. It’s all part of a promotion tying in the “new” (for Japan) Pepsi Twist that includes a Pepsi-themed DS. [via]

At least Nintendo sells out in a cooler way than poor Sony, whose allegedly Coke-themed PSP just had a little Coca-cola logo on it. Good thing this is all [...]

PSP sales not so rosy?

If you’re like me and you regularly drown yourself with video game coverage, both in the form of websites and forums, the PSP’s launch can’t seem like anything but an unqualified success.
