Replacing the battery in a PS3 DualShock Controller

Problem: PlayStation 3 (PS3) DualShock Controller won’t keep charge

Possible Solution: Battery needs replacing?

For a gamer, the last thing you need is your DualShock Controller running out of charge and this is what happened to me. I tried to charge the battery overnight on the PS3, however the next morning, the charge did not keep. Fortunately replacement batteries are available for the controller. These can be purchased from Battery World in Australia or through Deal Extreme in the United States who also do free international shipping. EBay is another option but I’ve been burnt from substandard console accessories before and I needed a battery replacement today!

Check out our full article here and where to purchase replacement batteries from – http://www.impulsegamer.com/ps3replacingaplaystation3ps3dualshockcontrollerbattery.html

Michael Bay’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Delayed… cancelled… 2014!

Michael Bay has a love of turning toys into films but it seems that the rumoured Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Reboot is becoming more of an Urban Myth than fact. According to sources, it seems that the highly over priced Bradd Pitt film (World War Z) is a result of this movie being put back a year or so. Sorry Fans!

According to The Hollywoord Reporter:

Paramount Pictures has shut down a planned reboot of the Ninja Turtles franchise, sources tell The Hollywood Reporter. The effects-heavy film, which was in pre-production in Vancouver, was set for release in December 2013. That date is being pushed to May 2014, according to sources.

The issue is said to be the script. Paramount has delayed several big movies from this year to 2013, including G.I. Joe: Retribution and Brad Pitt’s World War Z, leaving it with a spotty pipeline for the current year. Now it has halted work on its planned holiday movie for 2013, temporarily laying off pre-production staff and informing those prepping the film that the work stoppage is “indefinite,” according to sources. Another source close to the production says the movie has been pushed 10 weeks.

“This is the definitive TRANSFORMERS video game, and we absolutely had to have these iconic voices onboard in order tell this story,” said Peter Della Penna, Studio Head, High Moon Studios. “Because it’s an origins story, we were able to explore some of the coolest characters in the lore for TRANSFORMERS: FALL OF CYBERTRON, and then go after the best and most authentic voice talent possible to do the franchise right.”
