Mad Catz has introduced a new racing wheel geared for the Xbox 360. The design places all buttons and the directional pad near the hub of the steering wheel, while the shifter can be moved between the left and right sides.
To coincide with today's release of Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars for the Nintendo Wii comes news of peripherals maker Mad Catz releasing an arcade-like fighting stick controller. The device does not need to be physically connected to the Wii console but only to the Wii remote. Flipping a switch lets users perform D-pad actions through the stick.
MadCatz on Wednesday afternoon provided what it says is relief for owners of a generation of Xbox 360 game systems. The Xbox 360 HDMI Conversion Kit is designed to supply all of the consoles released before Microsoft's upgrade to the line between the summer and fall. Plugging into the standard output jack, the adapter provides the same 1080p output as systems with HDMI built-in and even supports HDMI 1.3 on supporting HDTVs. Surround sound still carries through in Dolby Digital and DTS, and can be routed through a secondary optical output for home theaters that use a receiver for audio instead of HDMI's built-in support.
