Infinity Ward launched a new website yesterday, entitled Mapathy, which teases the new Modern Warfare 2 DLC, and the release date of March 30. Nothing else was teased, but we have a feeling that more information will be posted on the new site as we approach the release date.

Confused about exactly which costumes you'd get from a Resident Evil 5 costume pack? Buy them all! And buy both DLC episodes while you're at it. Capcom just announced that it's bundling the two costume packs, as well as both the "Lost in Nightmares" and "Desperate Escape" episodes together as a single "Untold Stories Bundle."

It'll be available today on Xbox Live for 960 ($12) and tomorrow on PlayStation Network for $12.50. Individually, all that content would add up to $14, and would require up to four tedious menu navigations. Either way, it's still cheaper than buying the Gold Edition disc.

Starting March 18, 2010, DJ Hero will be releasing the next DLC pack finally, with the JAY-Z vs. Eminem Mix Pack, featuring the following exclusive mash-ups:

• “Shake That” by Eminem Mixed With “Show Me What You Got” by JAY-Z
• “Without Me” by Eminem Mixed With “Encore” by JAY-Z
• “Can I Get A…” by JAY-Z Mixed With “Lose Yourself” by Eminem

The JAY-Z vs. Eminem Pack will be available on Xbox Live for 640 MSPoints (or $7.99). Anyone planning to pick this DLC up when it releases next Thursday (March 18)?

In a Forbes interview, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime gave the impression that a new home console from Nintendo is still in the distant future.

"The way we approach that innovation," he said, referring to Nintendo's innovative "jumps" (like the Wii), "because we have hardware developers working side by side with software developers, is that when the software developer comes forward with an idea that can't be executed on the current platform, that's when we start thinking seriously about the next system. We're not there yet, from a Wii perspective." Of course, E3 is still a few months away.

Satoru Iwata recently commented that a Wii successor would "need something new" in addition to HD graphics to be worthwhile, and Fils-Aime, who has previously, "forcefully" denied plans for an Wii HD model, echoed this sentiment. "So when people talk about high definition for the Wii console, our feedback is that that by itself will not create a brand new experience. Therefore, we're not interested. What we have to push for are groundbreaking new experiences. Technology has to enable it, not to be a means all by itself."

Sometimes playing on half a screen is better.

A literal meeting of the minds.

Face Off.

One final montage is all that remains.
