You're getting new pink things! Technology is moving forward for things that girls like and we have proof from this year's Consumer Electronics Show. Remember when all this stuff was white?

Not anymore, as Girl Gear — which may or may not be an actual manufacturer or just an aftermarket pink supplier — is displaying a broad range of peripherals for the Wii that will appeal to the "pink ocean" market. Wii racing wheels, Wii tennis racket remote jackets, a Nintendo DSi starter kit, and even an innuendo filled pink sword.

We'll be delving deeper into the third-party video game accessory bowels of CES later this week, so if rosy, injection molded things are up your alley, don't miss our coverage!

<![CDATA[PopStar Guitar Adds More Early Teen Favorites]]> As much as I like to make fun of XS Games' PopStar Guitar for even existing, I can't shake the feeling that if I were 20 years younger or so I would really get a kick out of their track listing. They've just revealed five new original master recordings for the game, two from Fall Out Boy, one from Paramore, and two from the All-American Rejects, joining a lineup packed with tunes from The Jonas Brothers, Hannah "Stop Calling Me That" Montana, Maroon 5, and Three Doors Down. The track list reads like an iTunes shopping list for creepy internet men who want to pretend they're 14-year-old girls on MySpace.

Oh well, I suppose they'll look a little less ridiculous playing PopStar Guitar than they do playing We Cheer.
