Alienware X51 gaming PC: We go hands-on at the London launch event

Alienware’s latest PC is an attempt to fire a salvo right across the bows of Sony and Microsoft’s gaming flagships. It looks like the (slightly overweight) lovechild of the pair; like an alternate universe console. The X51 borrows liberally from the design schools of both the Xbox (matte sides) and the PlayStation 3 (slot-loading optical drive, front panel gloss).

PSA: PlayStation Network goes down (again) from 9AM ET, but it’s for maintenance (again)

There’s presumably still some kinks left to be resolved, as Sony’s PSN is once more scheduled to snooze from 9AM EST through 3AM.

Those gosh-darned hackers just refuse to get off Sony’s lawn, serving up yet another exploit for the outfit’s latest baby, the PlayStation Vita . Well, sort of — the Vita’s own code hasn’t been breached, but it sure plays nice with PlayStation 3 custom firmware 3.55 .

According to the Vita’s AT&T page, Ma Bell’s making sure you’ll never be blocked from nabbing those download-capped PlayStation Minis by upping the previously announced 2GB for $25 plan to 3GB for $30.
