Indeed, to collect these virtual treasures it'll take a superhuman effort, as you'll be performing such tasks as clearing the game without using any energy tanks, beating every boss with just the Mega Buster, and clearing the game without dying.

Rumors of a new PSP model have been floating around for a few months now, but you can finally place them in the "Confirmed" column, as the folks at Gizmodo have uncovered the FCC filing for the "PSP-3001."

The documents show that the redesign is largely focused on the internal components, meaning that Sony is probably trying to reduce the cost and make the system more resilient to hacking instead of improving the aesthetics. If you're a homebrewer, you might want to wait to see how hackable the new system will be before you switch over.

If you're upset that your new copy of Madden 09 doesn't depict Brett Favre in all his glory as a New York Jet now that Green Bay has freed themselves of him, then don't worry - EA's got your back. Over at their website you can download and print a cover with Favre as a Jet, but only if you bought the 360, PS3, PS2, or PSP versions of the game.

EA's also offering an automatic download for the 360, original Xbox, PS3, PS2, and Wii versions that will put Favre at the starting QB position for the Jets. They also noted that those playing offline can use the Franchise Mode to place Favre in the free agent pool and then sign him to any NFL team you want.

It has been just a month since the launch of the iPhone's new App Store gave people yet another new version of Super Monkey Ball, but sales for the game are already flowing in, as it has sold 300k units, according to the Wall Street Journal.

This is big news for proponents of game development on the iPhone, who have argued that the system is capable of competing with the DS and PSP for market share of the handheld gaming industry.

"That's a substantial business. It gives iPhone a justifiable claim to being a viable gaming platform," said Simon Jeffery, president of Sega of America. Sega grossed nearly three million dollars from the game by selling it for $9.99.

Keep your eyes open for news on the performance of other iPhone games, as their success (or failure) will have an interesting impact on whether or not the iPhone will truly emerge as a third viable handheld.

Are you interested in a DS version of Mass Effect? So is Bioware, as Miles Holmes, lead designer for Sonic Chronicles, has spoken to Eurogamer about the possibility of new iterations of several of Bioware's key IPs hitting the DS, stating that the company is interested in "basically anything that reinforces the franchises."

Holmes also said that Bioware has "a lot of big plans for Mass Effect" and that "a DS version would be an awesome way to keep interest alive." He also pointed out that Bioware's handheld division's current role is to reinforce major title releases and that they plan to have the capacity to work on three projects at once in the future. That should lead to plenty of interesting announcements once Bioware decides what they want to work on.

Here's a story for those of you who are obsessed with having yet another color of the DS Lite: 1up is reporting that the metallic silver DS Lite may become available in the U.S. on September 7.

The rumor originated from Kotaku, who received a blurry picture from an anonymous employee showing the street dates for three products, including the silver DS Lite, which has been available in Europe and Japan for a while now. Kotaku has since received word from various readers claiming to be GameStop employees that the store will be the exclusive seller of the new DS Lite.

We'll let you know if this becomes official in the coming weeks.
