1. To those in the US, Viz and Cartoon Network are celebrating the 1-year anniversary of the online streaming anime network Toonami Jetstream by adding series such as Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, Star Wars: Clone Wars, One Piece, Zoids Genesis, and MegaMan Star Force to the site.

   Wish we could get the rest of MegaMan NT Warrior while we’re at it.

   Hell, in my case, I wish I could get ANY of it.

2. TransFormers!

   If you were at BotCon (or even if not) and got ahold of the exclusive Alpha Trion figure, then the bio for his Mini-Con might be of interest to you.

   Remy has a new gallery up for one of the new Movie toys, the Decepticon known as Dropkick.

   So Ultimate Bumblebee is out, but what’s he about? Find out!

   Speaking of Movie toys, seems they’ve been a bit hard to find, and as it happens, there’s a reason.

   New pictures are available of the upcoming Masterpiece Skywarp and US Masterpiece Starscream.

   And if you like busts, then you’ll be happy to know about these two Movie busts, as well as this rockin’ reformatted Megatron, based on the scene where Unicron turns him into Galvatron in the ’86 movie!

   Don’t forget to check today’s “Points of Interest” for some more TransFormers fun.

3. Wow, so not only is there a price drop on XBox 360 in Canada, but it seems to take the current exchange rate into account.

   Thumbs up, Microsoft!

4. The Smash Bros. Dojo has updated with a new musical piece, this time from Kid Icarus, called “The Underworld.” Certainly a delightful remix in the fashion you might have found yourself accustomed with Smash Bros.
5. IGN has uncovered some character and story details for The Punisher 2, and a screenwriter update for Spider-man 4, as well as news that Sony will decide soon what to do about the future of the franchise, at least insofar as casting concerns go.
6. Good news!

   That Wii update yesterday? It lets you use USB keyboards on the Wii!

   The bad news?

   It doesn’t work on the internet channel yet, for some reason. Go figure.

7. Looks like there’s a new limited-edition Nintendo DS Lite color available now: Pikachu Yellow.

   I’ll still probably go for a black, when the time comes that I can switch up.
