Battlefield 3 has become EA’s fastest selling game ever after selling 5 million copies in its first week on release. The highly anticipated first person shooter which we have been featuring here on Geeky Gadgets in the run-up to its launch was released on October 25th and uses the new Frostbite 2 gaming engine.

There have been a few teething issues with its launch however with a number of players experiencing problems logging on to multiplayer games and with multiple crashes during gameplay. However EA now say that nearly all the issues have been corrected and they’re working hard to correct the remaining few.

Patrick Soderlund, executive vice president of the EA commented on Battlefield 3′s early success saying:

"It is extremely gratifying to deliver an entertainment experience that delights our fans, and to have the opportunity to i ... Read more »

We have featured a number of different tests here on Geeky Gadgets, showing the Xbox 360 version of Battlefield 3 running with and without the enhanced graphics packages installed. Together with Battlefield 3 gameplay compared side-by-side on all three platforms, Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.

But now footage has been released showing what the PC game is like if you turn up the graphics options to maximum, running on a gaming rig equipped with 2 GTX 580 in SLI formation. Enjoy!

With unemployment at record levels, it’s great to hear menial jobs are now destined for robots. Cheeky statements aside, there’s absolutely no photo evidence available of these so-called strawberry pickers. So in absence of such material, let a stand in suffice for now.

Yes, that’s a combat mech from Mass Effect 2. Fitting ain’t it? But don’t worry because the NPL don’t intend theirs to fire rockets.

Anyway, the really smart people over at the (again) National Physical Laboratory in the merry olde United Kingdom have been developing a picker robot since 2009. Initial tests involved cauliflowers but that proved unsustainable due to the vagaries of demand.

The value of having robots pick strawberries is plain and simple. It all boils down to efficiency and, uhm, further efficiency. There’s this feeble suggestion having robots do the job reduces waste, but then again that’s a tricky c ... Read more »

We haven’t heard much about Microsoft’s next generation Xbox, which has been rumored in the past to be called the Xbox 720, now it would appear that Microsoft’s new Xbox console may be called the Xbox Next.

According to a recent report, the Xbox Next is scheduled to launch in 2013, and may possibly be unveiled at E3 2013, the news comes from the guys over at Develop, who have apparently obtained the information from multiple sources.

According to Develop, the Xbox Next is expected to land in stores before the holiday shopping season of 2013, they have also said that Lionhead is working on a project for the Xbox Next which is called ‘Fable Next’ internally.

It will be interesting to see what the Xbox Next is like, Microsoft has had massive success with the Xbox 360 console, and with the release of the Xbox Kinect, the company was able to make the Xbox 360 even more popular.

Not to worry though, it’s not the "steal your credit card number” kind, it’s more along the lines of facilitating the running of games from burned Blu-Ray disks.  Details are scarce at the moment, but apparently the hack known as "JB2″ works, just like earlier attempts by using a USB dongle to bypass security when booting up a console.

There are signs that this may be no more than the previous 3.55 firmware hack in new clothing, so PSN is still out if you plan on flying the jolly roger, though the fact that it only offers a way to play burned Blu-Ray disks instead of booting them from the hard drive may give the cost-conscious pirate pause.
