It’s not like Sony’s PSP hasn’t flanked the top of a steering wheel before , but the X-Bike Sony PSP Kit takes the handheld into the world of exercising like never before. Of course, we’re not sure if this newfangled motivational tool will help you melt off the pounds like other systems we’ve seen, but the half-hearted attempt to integrate the PSP into an exercise bike allows users to watch movies (or fitness tapes) whilst burning calories. Interestingly, the product page doesn’t mention the possibility of gaming, but we see no reason why the uber-coordinated couldn’t mash a few buttons while maintaining their balance on the bike, so feel free to drop your $100 if you know you’re in that elite crowd.

Latest figures from data trackers GfK Australia show that the 360 has sold more than one million games in Australia and New Zealand since its launch 14 months ago, the quickest any game device has reached that milestone. GfK Australia account director Daniel Morse declined to provide Australia-only sales figures, but did confirm that Australian sales “make up the bulk” of the one million amount. And while GfK and Microsoft did not release the latest console sales figures for the 360 down under, Microsoft had previously announced in March 2007 that their latest console had sold 157,000 units so far. read more
