The special Wii was created to mark the launch of Big Family Games, a collection of “24 unique twists on classic neighborhood games,” including golf, tennis, lawn darts and horseshoes, that comes out on May 22.
“Big Family Games is the ultimate Wii game to get all family members, from grandparents to young children, playing together.

Recently the “haute couture” bottle design has become a huge craze. We previously had Jean Paul Gaultier designing limited edition Evian ‘couture’ and ‘pret-a-porter’ water bottles.
And now we have Scottish Whisky maker Chivas Regal that have teamed up with British designer Alexander McQueen to create a limited edition bottle for their Gold Signature 18 Year whiskey, just in time for Christmas.
The limited edition bottle is clad in a blue leather dress and features a gold label as well as a cork made in McQueen’s signature Union Jack colors.
“This is a piece of art which reflects the luxury and craftsmanship values of what haute couture is all about,” McQueen tells Vogue UK. “You can see my signature ’stamp’ with the blue leather ‘dress’ and the Union Jack colors. I have created a rare collector’s item that those with an eye for design will want to keep.”
Only 2,000 individually numbered bottles are being produced and will be available exclusively from deluxe UK department store Selfridges, for about 300 British pounds (currently about $490).

Alexander McQueen’s already conspicuously acclaimed work for Samsonite’s Black Label business luggage will get two new highlights. The unusual ribcage Hero piece (A11) and the small hard-side crocodile skin textured upside trolley (A12) will get a futuristic limited edition shining silver overhaul.
Truly admirable additions with features like the scratch resistant surface, shipped shoe and laundry bags and a TSA lock. ”Created with Bayer, one of the world’s largest producers of polymers and high-performance plastics, the bags’ shiny silver coating feature a special UV resistant mirror paint that won’t crack.”
The luggage will be available at Samsonite boutiques worldwide from November 2008 retails from $800 to $2,500. If your goal is to freak out innocent bystanders using nothing but your luggage, then this is your bag ^_^
