Hey look, it's another edition of Ask Joystiq Xbox. It's like we do one of these every week! In this installment, we discuss regional compatibility, chatpad support for games, Xbox Live voice issues and more. Also, we take a look at Xbox 360 hardware rumors. Not the credible ones, either.

For a while, fans have been able to send in questions to everyone else in the Joystiq family and have them answered by our Panel of Experts. While we at (what is now) Joystiq Nintendo have always been happy to hear questions, we've never made it "official."

Do you have questions related to the Wii, DS or anything Nintendo-related? Send your query to asknintendo AT joystiq DOT com, and we'll do our best to tell you what we know, find the information you need or pretend like we know what we're talking about! We'll post answers to a few questions every week!

It's Tuesday, time for another edition of Ask Joystiq Xbox. This week, we talk about Xbox Live credit card removal (again), Halo 3: ODST multiplayer (again), good games for little brothers, HDMI connection weirdness and more. And, as the headline suggests, we discuss the 360's awful, awful D-pad.

Also, by the way, we're practically out of questions to answer. We refuse to believe that we've answered them all. Sure, we're probably getting close, but not that close. If you have burning (Xbox-related) questions, send 'em to the email address below.

Ha! We bet you thought Ask X3F had gone the way of the dodo thanks to the recent relaunch of Joystiq. Well, okay, technically you're right. Ask X3F is no more. Have no fear though, as Ask X3F has just valmorphanized into Ask Joystiq Xbox. Yeah, it's not quite as catchy but it's all we got. This week we discuss console killing power supplies, backwards compatibility, free Marketplace content and more. Soak it all up with your brain sponge -- or you could just read it -- after the break.

Oh, one more thing: The Ask email address is staying the same for now. It may change in the future, but rest assured that the original address will keep working in the meantime, so keep sending in those questions!

Q. I have the PSP-1000 and was looking at getting a new battery, and was wondering if the new batteries that Sony sells will work or do they only work for the PSP Slim and the Bright. If not, what are some other options for batteries?
A. Hmm, you're in a rough position. The newer batteries are much easier to find in stores, but you're not going to benefit from the extra battery life. I would search for an original PSP-110 battery, if possible, otherwise any Sony battery will do the job. One of those extended battery kits would be nice, but those may prove difficult to track down too.

Q. Do you ever think Sony will make a friends list on the XMB, that would be like the PS3, where you could chat, message, send invites, and more to your friends? Because to me that would bring up the PSP's online status, and they could even add trophies. What do think?
A. Sounds like a great software update, maybe you should write a letter to Sony. It depends on which direction Sony takes the PSP, but something like this could certainly be integrated into the XMB, featuring PSN content. Heck, there's already an icon for the PlayStation Network on your PSP. Hopefully, it won't be long before new features are added.

Q. Do you believe that better games with come out in 2009? Or will the "make games for the sake of making games" era continue?
A. Next year is an excellent opportunity for the PSP to rebound, and it certainly can, as long as Sony backs it up with the support it needs. If Sony can advance the PSP as a portable gaming system, the developers will invest their time into creating better software. Only time will tell...
