In a move reminisent of when the Flintstone visited The Jetsons, Capcom will update Lost Planet for PC's multiplayer to give gamers a chance to shoot it out in the form of Dead Rising's Frank West, "Jo," and Mega Man!

the update also feature features PC Map Pack 1 and "Wide" and Resident Evil 4-style" view modes along with a movie mode for viewing cut-scenes back-to-back.

No release date for the update has been announced as of yet, but we'll let you know when it is.

Adobe posted a notice that the Flash Player that is used in the Nintendo Wii has a security flaw that could be exploited to run unsigned, arbitrary code.

Unsigned code has brought you classics like PS1 hacking, PS2 hacking, PS3 hacking, PSP hacking, Xbox hacking, Xbox 360 hacking, DS hacking, GameCube hacking and hacky sacking. It's not really any suprise that a flaw was found in the Wii as it happens to every console ever.

This could lead to homebrew, piracy, and even shenanigans. According to rumors (on the internets), Nintendo will have to pony up some cash to get a fixed browser from Adobe, so there might not be a fix for a while.

TheFeed can't wait to play all our old SNES and NES games on the Wii because we can't do that already.

It occurs to us that with the PlayStation 3 and now Xbox 360 Elite, many of you guys are buying HDMI cables. You could buy them at major retailers for insane prices.

Some people may already know this, but we wanted to say it again. Four feet of HDMI at a retailer might run you $80.00. There are several versions of these cables with different types of coating, plating, and scamming.

TheFeed just wanted to let you know that if you search around online, you can get these cables at close to cost. We're talking about six feet of HDMI cable for $5 plus shipping.

Just a friendly tip from the internet.

If you think that all of the big budget summer blockbusters have come and gone, think again! G4 went out and shot four, count 'em, four multimillion dollar epics (which we then altered with expensive computer graphics to make them look like they were made on a shoestring budget).

We can't show you the films here, otherwise, why would you go to your local cineplex? However, we can show you the trailer for all four cinematic masterpieces.

According to the folks at Techdirt.com, it’s extraordinarily easy to break into ATMs and use default passwords to get them to spew out $20 bills from your account. All ya gotta do find the user manuals for ‘em online and use the passwords listed to reprogram the machines. 

So to avoid this dilemma, all the ATM owner has to do is change the default passcode, right? Well, apparently it wasn't that hard for the crooks to find machines whose owners' hadn't changed them and pull the same shenanigans.

Ron Paul might not be the most popular presidential candidate out there, but he's certainly trying his best to be the hippest, at least online. Going to Paul' website is a decidedly 2.0 experience, complete with aggregated news stories and Digg functionality. There's even opportunity for Ron Paul supporters to meet at social networking sites.

One can only imagine that this will become sort of the standard for presidential campaigning over the next year or so, still Paul seems to have his eye on the intarwebs, and knows that courting the online community is a good idea. That has to be worth something, no?

US company Kuma Reality Games, released Mission 58: Assault on Iran on September 30, 2005. Kuma releases missions for their game as "Playable re-creations of real war events released weeks after they occur."

Not to be outdone, the Union of Students Islamic Association has released their own game that has a pro-Iranian message. The game is Rescue the Nuke Scientist and the creators describe it as their "defense against the enemy's cultural onslaught."

The point of the game is for players to rescue two Iranian nuclear scientists from US and Israeli forces, kill US and Israeli soldiers, and recover secret documents. They plan on distributing the game throughout the Muslim world.

Meanwhile, in the US, we're too busy worrying about kids seeing some booblies in a game to see that this is when videogames are bad. TheFeed also doesn't approve of Kuma's games.

Remember that gaudy high school class ring that you ordered and proceeded to wear around for a week or so until you realized it made you look like a colossal jackass? Well, the fine craftsmen at Jostens, responsible for 27 of the 41 Super Bowl rings, along with mega-game publisher Electronic Arts, are hoping you’re ready for another go-round on the garish-man-jewelry carousel.

The two companies announced on Monday a partnership to make custom-designed achievement rings available for purchase to Madden NFL 08 players when the game drops on August 14. The “Ring of a Champion” product line will serve as a kind of real world gamer score, available to players who have reached a certain level of achievement in the game.

Now, let’s get into some bold, daring, and forum-incinerating Sony news!

SCEE president David Reeves told Gamesindustry.biz that the PS3 will conquer the next-generation console market by March 2008, outselling the Wii and the 360 within nine months.

Reeves said, "Playstation 3, you will see, will be far and away the winner when you look at it by March ’08. They really, really will."

"It’s something that is going to be a slow burner, and suddenly it’s like a tsunami; it will just overtake you," he also added.

While the price of Sony’s PS3 maybe experiencing more ups and downs than a rollercoaster ride, Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter thinks that Sony will eventually finalize the $499.99 price. In part of his E3 summary, Pachter said that the $499.99 PS3 will be the permanent price once the 60gb models are completely sold out.

If you haven’t heard, Sony’s $100 price-cut appeared to be temporary when Sony president Kaz Hirai announced that the 60gb PS3 will be ‘no longer in production.’ The upcoming 80gb PS3 bundled with Motorstorm will be priced $599.99.

Despite Sony’s plan, Pachter expects the 80gb PS3 will eventually have the same price tag as the 60gb PS3 in the near future. He said:

"In our view, the Sony entry level price of $499 is here to stay. We believe that there are presently 2-3 million 60gb PS3s produced and not yet sold, and expect the entire supply to be diverted to the U.S. to honor the new lower price point. Once these units are sold through, we expect the company to lower the price of its 80gb model to $499 on a standalone basis."

Pachter also commented about Sony’s intent, Microsoft’s plans, Nintendo and how this year’s E3 was a disappointment. Find out more after the jump!

The Nintendo Wii is not exactly known for its awesome selection of racing games... but all that might change--Nintendo announced today they will be sponsoring a real, live NASCAR race car.

Greg Biffle will be the man behind the wheel of the #16 Wii-themed Ford Fusion pictured above.

Reports that the car will be entirely controlled by a Wii-Mote and Nunchuk combination remain unsubstantiated at press time, although experts agree the suggestion is ridiculous. Automotive insiders confirmed, however, that while most NASCAR vehicles are powered by a precise mixture of methanol and ethanol, The Wii Racer will run entirely on adorablness and fanboy enthusiasm.

Look for the Wii-themed car at Watkins Glen International in New York on Sunday August 12th and then again at the Dover International Speedway in Delaware on Sunday September 23rd!

Vroom!

Carrying that remote too much for you? We here at TheFeed can certainly understand. That's why we paid someone to jump for joy at the news that scientists are working on a gesture-based control system for television, using only your hand to make it all work.

Thank God. We were wondering when it would be easier to watch television. It's become such a grind over the last few years that we were thinking that people might just stop watching altogether. Now, we've finally got something to make it all easier.

So who’s the latest bigtime rapper to score a reality show?

MC Ren?

Bushwick Bill? (Pictured right)

Del the Funky Homosapien?

Nope, it’s Snoop Dogg, of course!

Michale and Iana Straw of Reno, Nevada have a serious problem. TheFeed understands that MMOs are addictive, but when you allow your 22 month old son and 11 month old daughter to almost starve to death while wallowing in their own filth and infection because you're playing a video game, it is our opinion you should be neutered in the nearest public square.

The two pleaded guilty to neglect, and boy are they guilty: The severity of their children's neglect is beyond words. Their poor little girl had a mouth infection, severe dehydration, and hospital staff had to shave her head because her hair was matted with cat urine. The boy was treated for starvation, had a genetal infection, and his lack of muscle development made it difficult for him to walk. Both children have put on weight and are doing very well in foster care.

TheFeed is very happy to hear the children are in good hands and doing well. TheFeed would be even happier if there was a federal law passed that made it illegal for either of the Straws to come within 50 feet of anyone under the age of 18. Oh, and of course, make them both permanently infertile in the nearest public square.

There's a new trailer out there for the updated Bionic Woman, which is coming to NBC this fall. And you know what? It looks pretty damn good. The trailer, which runs just about four minutes, shows Jamie Summers before and after the accident that changes her life for the bionic, and it sets up the plot of the series, pretty much.

Of course, you don't have to take our word for it. Why don't you watch it, and let us know what you think.

Are you blind? Do you have $1800? If so, GW Micro has a PDA for you, but it's super expensive. It's got a lot going on under the hood and will read aloud almost anything a person could throw at it.

It'll browse the web, read email, read books, play music and radio, IM on MSN, and more. It'll take expandable memory and has Wi-Fi. Basically, it does more than most people's PDA's.

If you're thinking that it'd be real easy to steal one of these from a blind person, shame on you. It wouldn't do you any good, anyway. You kinda need to know braille and it doesn't have a screen.

Looks like Blizzard is working on a new game that they haven't announced yet. What is it? Smart money is on a sequel to one of their massively popular franchises. Diablo 3, anyone?

Rumors have been flying for years that Diablo 3 is in the works, but this could be the first real evidence that didn't come from "some guy I know who has a friend that works down the street from Blizzard."

Could it be StarCraft: Ghost back from the ashes of console death? A new franchise? The Lost Vikings go next-gen? Hopefully we'll get some concrete details out of Blizzcon and G4 will be covering the event.

In a behind-closed-doors meeting that was supposed to be about Super Mario Galaxy at last week's E3, game designer legend Shigeru Miyamoto and director of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess Eiji Aonuma got off topic when they started to discuss the newest addition to the Zelda series, The Phantom Hourglass. Pointing out that the control scheme has brought the gameplay and puzzle solving to a new level, PH has already become one of the biggest selling handheld games of all time in Japan.

Surprising everyone, Aonuma continued on his thread and started talking about the excitement he has for the next Zelda chapter for the Wii. With Miyamoto trying to hold his lips for him, Aonuma talked with excitement about the control scheme for the next Wii Zelda game and how he hopes it will simplify gameplay in order to be accessable to casual and hardcore gamers alike.

Could it be? The Wii-mote finally answering our prayers and acting as the hilt to the Master Sword? While Twilight Princess was a good game, the wii controls were tacked on, and "wrist-switching" became the equivalent of "button-mashing". TheFeed has no doubt the game will be amazing, but real details are still all up in the air. We promise to keep you posted on any further information as it is revealed.

As you well know, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the final book in JK Rowling's saga of the boy wizard, will be out this weekend. You want leaks? Sure, we all do. The powers-that-be, however, are going to unprecedented lengths to make sure you know nothing before the time is right. What sort of lengths? We're glad you asked.

How about making workers do their thing in the dark, so that they couldn't read the book while they were working on it? Or keeping the manuscripts in alarmed pallets until the morning of its release? Apparently, only 20 people in the world know the fate of Harry and his friends, and everyone who comes in contact with the book has been made to sign a weighty legal agreement that damns them should anything be leaked.

In short, it's serious business. Still, the book will be out this weekend. If you could wait all this time to find out, what's a couple more days at this juncture?

Rapper Remy Ma, she of Fat Joe’s Terror Squad, was arrested Saturday on charges of attempted murder. The incident involves the shooting of a 23-year-old woman outside a a bar in Lower Manhattan.

At her arraignment yesterday, she pleaded not guilty to attempted murder and other counts and was released on $250,000 bond. She was released from New York's Rikers Island prison after her manager put up his home as collateral. Damn. That dude’s dedicated!

We're not sure what's going on with Sony Europe. It seems to have a different adgenda than American Sony. We applaud their sophisticated, European style, of course, but we're a little puzzled.

We've heard different stories from both sides of the pond as to whether the $100 price cut is a legitimate price break or an attempt to sell off remaining 60G models before selling the 80G models, and now we have David Reeves, the head of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, saying 20 gigs isn't enough of an incentinve to consumers anyway.
 
"You know, the difference between 60 and 80GB is very small," he said. "We just feel that going up 20GB is not worth it; if you're going to double it, it's worth it, so maybe you'll see something a little bit later, but 60 and 80 -- [there's] really not that much difference."

We'd like to see a 120g PS3 too, but when (and whether) it will be available remains to be seen.

AppleHound has spent some time with their iPhone and compiled a list of bugs for the first version of the device. Are there any bugs that will let hackers download pictures of Paris Hilton's va-jay-jay? Well, no. Not yet.

There are over 60 "bugs" listed, but many of them are "UI/Usability" issues like:

"The '%' symbol on the stock settings screen is not horizontally centered on the button at the bottom of the screen."

That's a pretty terrible bug... not centering a '%' symbol? Come on, Apple. You're better than this.

If you're thinking about getting an iPhone or have one already, check out the list. We're also glad AppleHounds is freely publishing the list and not ransoming it back to Apple like some people might do.

Before we could all get to get our greedy hands on Sony’s leaner and slimmer PSP this September, Joystiq took a peek at the system’s updated manual. Here are some of the notable ‘differences’ you can expect to see (via Joystiq):

•  Ram has been juiced up from 32mb to 64mb for faster loading times
•  The system can also now charge through USB
•  Battery’s been replaced from 1800mAh to 1200mAh. The difference: more friendly to Mother Nature but same battery life.
•  Original PSP remotes will not run on the new PSP
•  And to everyone’s surprise, the component AV cable for the new video output will not be included in any bundle

Although the new video output feature is a welcome addition, Sony could have done way more to give the PSP a proper ‘update’. We would’ve been more excited if the PSP was finally given a second analog nub, an internal hard drive or a tanning reflector. Check out the new PSP anatomy after the jump!
