Games Designer Shigeru Miyamoto went on record recently saying that updates to the Wii Fit channel may be on the cards by way of nutritional information updating the data. This information could then be used by the overweight set to help shed some of those unwanted kilos to increase longevity for the title.

Connectivity with the DS is also a possibility and may be a feature yet to be implemented...

This is to be used instead of a credit card if you're underage and will be used to make purchases through the Playstation Store. They come in different dollar amounts and in the USA, you can pick one up wherever you refuel which is handy.

In one of the zaniest weapons to ever appear in any game, Saints Row 2 will feature electric shock paddles. You know the ones, we've all seen them on tv a thousand times when doctors are trying to revive someone from the brink of death. Only in this case, the paddles will be used to take an opponent to the brink and more than likely right over the edge.
