Team-xecuter.com already released a new version of the sourcecode for their XHM Project (an 'open-source' DVD patchmod project for the Xbox360).
The samsung v1.00 sourcecode was released earlier today. If you missed it, read here for full details.
What's new/fixed (v1.00->v1.02):
* Fixed a few minor bugs already and made it a bit more stable
We've got a PS3 - and here it is rubbing shoulders with Xbox 360 for the first time ever!
Created by Sony as an accurately proportioned replica, the PS3 model may be made entirely from wood, but it takes more than a cursory glance to realise that it's not the genuine article and gave us a good impression of what the Sony powerhouse will look like nestling next to our TV.
The unit is certainly big, although not drastically bigger than an Xbox 360. Positioned vertically side-by-side, the PS3 stands about an inch taller than its rival, while laying the two down horizontally shows that - at its highest point - PS3's convex curve makes PS3 about an inch fatter.
According to TWICE, This Week In Consumer Electronics, Microsoft will offer a single Zune unit this fall at a suggested retail price of $299. In addition, the publication claims to have learned the size of the internal hard drive and other specs:
Retailers who have been briefed by Microsoft told TWICE the player will offer Wi-Fi capability, but will require that the portable be connected to a PC for the actual purchase of songs. Retailers, who claimed Microsoft remained “fuzzy” on the Zune’s wireless capability, said only that Zune will allow users to bookmark songs that may be shared via Wi-Fi, but that users cannot purchase songs on the go from the Microsoft Zune Web site.
Both retailers said the player would incorporate a 30GB hard drive. One said the unit’s display screen would be larger than Apple’s iPod models. The retailers were pleased with Microsoft’s feature-per-price package.
One retailer also said that Microsoft plans to continue to support its PlaysForSure licensees, even while it launches its own media Web site and sells its own digital media player, effectively competing with these same licensees.
We'll have more on Zune as more info becomes available.

According to an analyst report by Wedbush Morgan's Michael Pachter, the NPD has officially released its North American game sales figures for July 2006, showing the market up 22% to $386 million.
The analyst had originally predicted a market of $365 million, up 15% compared to last year, but North American sales outstripped even his positive outlook, as handheld and particularly Nintendo DS titles took off, following the launch of the DS Lite.
However, the chart itself was led by Electronic Arts' NCAA Football, which gained three of the four top spots if separating out by SKU, with Nintendo's New Super Mario Bros for DS also a major seller for the month, and some surprisingly high entries for Xbox 360 title including Chromehounds, Prey, and Battle For Middle-Earth II.
Microsoft has announced that starting August 14th, and ending September 22nd, gamers will be able to get a free game with their purchase of an Xbox 360. When a system, either Core or Premium, is purchased a gamer will be able to pick from Project Gotham Racing 3, Kameo: Elements of Power, Perfect Dark Zero or Dead or Alive 4.
