admin » 27 June 2009 » In Wii » No Comments

Wii console prices are considered steep by some consumers, particularly those looking to save money in a tight economy. Since the Wii console prices can range from $250 or more brand new, there are some consumers that are opting out of their plans to buy a Wii console. The latter step isn’t necessary today however; Wii console prices online are considerably lower than those sold in traditional retail outlets.

Generally speaking, the consumer can often find Wii console prices online are considerably below the prices of other gaming consoles such as Sony PlayStation 3 or Xbox. This fact alone makes Wii consoles considerably attractive. Nevertheless, it is still possible to get even super prices on today’s Wii consoles if the consumer is willing to take some time to conduct shopping research on the Internet.

The key to getting great Wii console prices online is to know where to shop. Online auction sites list up-to-the-minute deals of Wii console thanks to the nature of such websites. It is possible to get a significant percentage off the regular retail price of Wii console at these online auction sites in some cases. When checking Wii console prices via online sellers, the consumer should examine if the price covers Wii console alone, or includes other standard accessories and parts that usually comes with the Wii Console package such as 1 Wii remote, 1 Nunchuk controller controller, and all of the necessary cables in order to get the console set up and working.

There are several different kinds of Wii bundle packages in the market today, such as Nintendo Wii starter bundle, Wii EA sports bundle, Wii Fit bundle, Nintendo Wii Party bundle and others. Take Wii Fit bundle for example, the packages includes a Wii console, Wii Remote controller, Nunchuk controller, Wii Fit with Balance Board, Wii Ski and Wii Sports game. While these Wii console bundles come with complete gaming packages, the included getting package may not be what you desire. A consumer should be careful in determining whether he needs just a standard Wii console package, or a particular Wii bundle package, since the latter Wii console prices are higher because of the additional games or accessories enclosed.

Sony Playstation 3 PS3 Video Game System

admin » 14 April 2009 » In Video Games » No Comments

 

The PlayStation 3, known as the PS3 is made by Sony and is the third in the PlayStation series. The PS3 was preceded by the PlayStation and PlayStation 2. The PS3 was first introduced in November of 2006 to the Unite States market, while Europe, Australia, Africa, New Zealand and the Middle East had to wait until March of 2007 before they were able to buy one in their own country. Thousands of people lined up outside retail stores for hours at a time to get their hands on PS3 on the first day of sales and they sold out very quickly. Unfortunately the PS3 was so sought after that some violence did surround its debut. Often fights broke out when there were too many people in line for a limited number of PS3 consoles.

So what’s so good about the PS3? The PS3 is an advanced video game system that has three unique features that have helped it to succeed in the marketplace. First, the PS3 comes equipped with the ability for online play. The PlayStation Network is a gaming community that allows players to play against one another over the internet. Currently the PlayStation Network has over 14 million user accounts. From sports games to role-playing games, you can easily connect to other players and play head-to-head.

Another popular and unique feature of the PS3 is that it has a built in Blu-Ray disc player. As DVD technology increases, Sony developed the Blu-Ray disc, which is a more advanced version of a DVD. Not only is the PS3 a gaming system, but it can also be integrated into your home theater as a Blu-Ray player, so no need to go out an buy yet another piece of electronic equipment to keep up with the advances that are made.

The last unique feature of the PS3 is the hard drive. You have a choice of purchasing a model with hard drive sizes of 20, 40, 60, 80 and 160GB. Forget small memory cards – The PS3 can store all your game settings onto the hard drive and you can also store pictures, movies and games onto the hard drive as well.

Currently over 16 million PS3’s consoles and 115 million PlayStation 3 games have been sold worldwide since its introduction. The gaming community has been very receptive to the PS3 and it has received many positive reviews from major gaming and electronics websites and publications.

Once you purchase your PS3, purchasing games is the next step. Whether you’re into first-person shooters, sports or fantasy games, you will have no trouble finding a game that you will enjoy. Some of the hottest games for the PS3 include: Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune, Half-Life 2-The Orange Box, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and of course the wildly popular Guitar Hero.

If you want to save money on a PS3 you might want to consider buying a refurbished gaming system. Playstation refurbishes units into a like new condition and offers a great warrantee on these game systems. They are a lot cheaper than a new one. Another option is buying a used Playstation 3. Just be sure to check the unit for condition. Whether you choose to buy a new, used, or refurbished Playstation PS3 make sure you are getting the best deal available.

Whether you are a hardcore gamer or an occasional player, the PS3 offers an incredible gaming experience. With all the features built into the PS3, including the hard drive, Blu-ray disc player and it’s only gaming capabilities, the PS3 is a must-have gaming console.

Playstation 3 (PS3) Wireless Keypad Review

admin » 08 April 2009 » In Game Video » No Comments

In this video, I review the wireless keypad for the Sony Playstation 3 (PS3) console. This wireless keypad attaches to the PS3 Six Axis controller and is available for sale today for $49.99 USD. The device has a USB connector at the top which is used to charge it. It has its own battery which isn’t replaceable much like the Six Axis controller. Thankfully, it has it’s own power switch to turn the keypad on and off manually. It has buttons for the Select, Start, and Playstations buttons which work with your existing controller. Along the top of the device are two meta buttons, one blue, and one orange. To type the orange and blue keys on the keypad, one would have to use the each respective meta key. Shift is not used for these characters and is only used for capitalization. As for comfort, I couldn’t type very well until I figured out that I needed to slide my thumbs up from the normal position. Once I did that, I was able to type fairly easily. A great feature of the wireless pad which I have not seen before, is that the entire keypad acts as a trackpad! To turn this on, there’s a toggle button along the bottom which looks like a finger. The sensitivity of the trackpad is not great (given it’s design, it’s understandable), but it is usable for couch surfing and basic tasks. Also along the bottom are two more keys: A message box button and a friends list shortcut. If you have a PS3, and send messages to your friends, this is a good investment. It’s also good for Playstation Home usage and also if you use the web browser on the PS3. The touchpad feature is new and innovative and I applaud Sony for doing something this cool. Again, this keypad is $49.99 USD at your local store or online. Take care!

Final Fantasy Versus XIII 13 Extended Trailer Footage

New footage of Final Fantasy Versus XIII 13 FFXIII FF13 … FFvXIII FFv13 … I have no idea how to properly shorten this, but it was as I believe posted on Gametrailers about 24 hours ago, thanks to Dengeki. Either way, Square Enix seems to have decided that this game can be a bit bloody, and just generally look cool. So far I am still not convinced that these are actual gameplay footage though, so I won’t go and be like ‘The Sony Playstation 3 or PS3 Makes It All Possible’. But it still looks fantastic. Check it out.
