Wii MotionPlus box revealed; comes with rubber jacket
If you thought that Nintendo would ship their Wii MotionPlus addon in a dainty little box, boy were you wrong.
As you can see above, Nintendo will ship the product nested in an updated version of the rubber sleeve. Those who share my distate in the rubber sleeves will be happy to hear that it will be easily removable.
However, this is probably great news for those of you prone to sending your Wiimotes hurtling at the TV as there will be no need to contact Nintendo for one of these sleeves. If you purchase the MotionPlus, that is.

Resident Evil 5 Breaks Records
The newest survival horror title from the excellent Resident Evil pedigree is breaking records. Not for body count, not for the most controversy for early screenshots or anything to do with the content; it’s all about the shipping. Over four million units were sent out in the very first shipment, the biggest first shipment for any game in the series. Hard numbers for the game sales are currently unavailable since it’s been out for less than a week in the western world, but given the popularity of the series, huge shipments and impressive sales figures for Japan (319,590 units sold for the PS3 and 79,157 sold for the Xbox 360) we’re likely to get confirmation soon that the game is selling excellently everywhere.
The game will likely go platinum soon (if it hasn’t already), with nearly half a million sold in the first week in Japan alone and with Capcom announcing that over forty million units for the whole series have been shipped as of now.
