There’s one thing (and one thing only) that we know about
House, MD. He seriously loves nearly killing people before saving them. Well, that, and he loves chilling out with a PSP Go. What, you hadn’t heard? Yeah, seems old Dr. Greg is pretty into gaming in his downtime — you know, when he’s not downing Vicodin or collecting clues. There’s one more piece of evidence after the break.
[Thanks, Donny]

Back at E3 in June, we had a chance to check out the singular Peregrine glove — a wired elastic affair which allows you to configure 40 different combinations for gaming. When got tried one on, we found that fast-paced games might not be the Peregrine’s forte, but something like World of Warcraft could be a perfect pairing. The Peregrine, which runs $129, is available for pre-order now, which means that just about any day now we should start seeing these puppies in the wild. We can only hope!

There’s just something about Sciphone’s Android-based handset, the N21, that we can’t get enough of. This KIRF-tastic little dude has attitude in droves, to go with its clunky exterior. The 3-inch touchscreener boasts a 5 megapixel cam, WiFi, and an onscreen keyboard — not to mention what looks like a killer stylus experience. In the video (which is after the break), you can check out the many and varied features of this looker of a device.

Nyko’s just unleashed its latest charging base for
Wii controllers. This newest unit makes use of induction charging, so you can dispense with the sleeves, and just throw your contollers or Wands straight onto the dock for charging. The controllers are attached to the dock via magnets, and it also boasts a USB port for charging up other devices. The Nyko Charge base comes with two battery covers that are compatible with both Wiimotes and Nyko’s own Wands, as well as two rechargeable battery packs. It’s available now at Sam’s Club and Amazon, and retails for $39.99. Full press release is after the break. Also, be on the lookout — we’ll be giving away five of these puppies on Black Friday (among many, many other things).

We have to hand it to Juicy Couture — a company which we would have thought could never, ever crank out anything that made us think, “hey, that’s pretty nice!” Regardless, here it is in the flesh: Juicy Couture’s own take on the digital
photo frame, and not a glitter or spangle in sight. In fact, we’re really digging the gaudy, old-timey
gold resin frame, which measures 6.5 by 8-inches, and boasts a 2GB SD card (though the hideous logo remains… hideous). It’s up for pre-order for now, and should ship by the end of November — if you don’t mind paying $140 for it.

You know how we love a good knockoff at Engadget. Well,
the PXP 2000 isn’t the greatest
KIRF we’ve ever seen — especially considering that it’s a “PSP Go” that plays NES games (and pretty badly at that). It is, however, one of the most caring and detailed unboxings we’ve seen in a really long time. In the nearly 15-minute video (which we’ve included after the break), the young gentleman host proves himself to be a talented and fairly entertaining chap. Be sure to watch the video all the way through — you’ll get to see some Super Mario Brothers action as well as the PXP’s super fantastic
iPhone camera icon. Also, someone who we can only describe as Jason Voorhees-esque makes a guest appearance about halfway in. Hit the read link for the whole, wild ride.
[Thanks, Nightwheel]

Sure, there are plenty of
Wii racing wheel options out there, but Exspect’s launching one just for the
Wii Motion Plus controller — and just in time for the holidays! The wheel is also compatible with the plain old
Wiimote, but sadly, if you live in the States it doesn’t look like you’ll be able to get one of these any time soon. The Racing Wheel is available now in the UK and will run you
£6.99 (that’s about $11.67 if you don’t speak “£”) on its own, or £19.99 ($33.35) if you buy it as part of a Wii accessories pack.

Say what you will about dogs being man’s best friend — they sure can get into a lot of trouble. While our dogs have been limited to eating shoes and shedding on our furniture, Greg Strope of Richmond, Virginia has reason to believe his furry friend has gone the extra mile. While he lay in bed sleeping, his dog Oscar, he believes, purchased 5,000 Microsoft points. The only possible culprit, Oscar left some telltale signs (drool and scratches) on the Xbox controller, leading Greg to blame the $63 purchase on him. We have to admit the dog’s actions rather impress us, though it also makes us nervous about all those times we left our laptop open and unattended around our own tiny beast. Video featuring damning photographic evidence is after the break.

Those lucky enough to live in Europe will soon (as in November 6th soon) be able to purchase a special edition of that black Nintendo Wii some of us have been drooling over for the past few months. Sure, it’s just a regular Wii… but it’s black, which is so much cooler. Well someone’s finally gotten their hands on it and done an unboxing, and we have to say that it looks even better than it did in the press shots. The limited edition Black Wii bundle with Wii Sports Resort and a Motion Plus controller will run you around £164.99 in the UK, and those of us in the US? Well, we’ll just have to make due with the black controller and nunchuk. There are a few more shots after the break. Hit the read link for the full unboxing and video.
[Thanks, Emilia]

Way back in January of 2007, we
reported on the Strange family, who were suing Sacramento radio station KDND-FM for the wrongful death of Jennifer Strange, who was
found dead in her home after competing in a contest to try to win a Nintendo Wii. The contest — “Hold Your Wee for a Wii” — involved seeing who could drink the most water without urinating, and Jennifer, who did not win, left the studio and later died. Her autopsy later showed signs of water intoxication. Yesterday, a California jury ruled a wrongful death in the case, and ordered Entercom Sacramento LLC, a subsidiary of Philadelphia-based Entercom Communications Corp., to pay $16.5 million dollars to her family as a result of the actions of the radio station’s employees.
