Microsoft Xbox Elite System

Microsoft Xbox 360 Elite - The Next Generation in Gaming Hardware

Microsoft Xbox 360 is all about the next generation of fun. The new system is a real power house that delivers the highest-rated next geneneration games line up with 6 out of the top 10 rated games.

There are two consoles to choose from. The Xbox 360 which has a 20GB hardrive and the new Xbox 360 Elite . Both systems come with wireless controllers, network cable, headset, AV cable, and a Silver Membership to Xbox Live. Both are backwards compatible with Xbox games. To transfer content from your current Xbox to the 360 Elite, you'll need a Hard Drive Transfer Cable. Games are supported in high definition with a 16-to-9 aspect ratio, at either 480p, 720p or 1080i, with anti-aliasing as well as standard definition. Audio can be mono, stereo, or Dolby Digital 5.1. During installation, you can set audio and video preferences easily.

The new system has several advantages over its predecessor. Hard-drive capacity leaps from 20GB to 120GB--a huge benefit if you plan to use the system to download lots of movie and music files from Xbox Live. And the unit now has an HDMI 1.2 interface; HDMI provides the optimal interconnection for high-definition video playback, and it delivers better image quality (at up to 1080p resolution) than can component video (limited to 1080i output on the Xbox 360) or VGA (at 1080p).

Microsoft's HD DVD Player add-on drive provides a seamless integration with the 360 Elite to provide superior image quality. HD DVD images at 1080p were significantly sharper than those produced by the Xbox 360 over component video at 720p resolution. Keep in mind that your HDTV also needs the 1080p resolution. HDMI and 1080p resolution may have less effect on how games appear than on how movies appear. This is because many games were created at 720p resolution; by contrast, all HD DVD movies are encoded at 1080p. It's just a matter of time before games will take advantage of the higher resolution.

Microsoft's Xbox 360 has the wide popularity with the game Halo 3 which has given it a jump in the competition. Play station 3 and Xbox 360 both have the game The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion. Out side of differnt lighting and focus the games play the same on either console. The main difference is, the load time for the game, is by far faster on the Playstation 3. The war between Xbox and PlayStation will ultimately be won by the popularity of the games exclusive to each system.

Sony PlayStation3

In this article, we'll take an in-depth look at the PlayStation 3. Playstation 3 comes with both an Ethernet port and Bluetooth capabilities. Playstation 3's online play is completely free of charge. If you do a lot of movie watching with your PS3, the Sony PlayStation 3 Blu-ray DVD Remote is a nice luxury, but it's not a must-have accessory for the PS3.

Sony plans to continue its market dominance with the latest version of its successful console, the PlayStation 3. Sony s built the PlayStation 3 with a definite eye on the future. Sony designed the PlayStation 3 to be more than just a video game console. The bottom line: Sony's PlayStation 3 may be the most expensive next-gen game console, and its launch titles are not all that impressive, but its swanky design and bevy of features, including a Blu-ray drive, make it hard to resist--even at $600.

Both feature the brand new Cell processor, a built-in Blu-ray player, and HDMI video output. On the video front, the PS3 plays Blu-ray discs in full high-definition as well as DVD movies.

Price

All you guys who are winging about the price of PS3 should get off there contentful lazy butts and get a job that pays enough so you dont have to worry about the price.

Behold the PlayStation 3 Sony has finally given the world a first look at its next generation games console.


Sony Playstation 3 Vs Microsoft Xbox 360

Sony has always left their mark in gaming industry with their gaming consoles. After the success of PS2 which was launched in 2000, Sony decided to take one more step in the gaming industry with the introduction of Sony Playstation 3. It's basically the third home video game console produced by Sony computer entertainment. It is in direct competition with Microsoft Xbox and Nintendo Wii, as part of seventh generation of video game consoles.

Playstation 3 offers a unified online gaming service through playstation network. This feature of Sony PS3 works as an USP for them and distinguishes it from its competitors (Xbox and Nintendo). Its also give its gamers, robust multimedia capabilities which enables you to connect your console to PSP. The game was first released on November 11, 2006 in Japan and on March 23, 2007 in Europe. As we all know that Sony gaming console come with backward compatibility with them. You can play the games of PS1 on PS2 or games of PS2 on PS3. But Sony made their savings by cutting the feature of backward compatibility from Sony PS3, reducing the size of hard drive and cutting some media connections. In this way Sony introduced their cheaper model of PS3 in Europe as the cost of PS3 is much higher as compared to in US.

But the real competition comes with the introduction of Microsoft Xbox and Nintendo Wii. All comes under the category of HD (high definition) consoles. High definition in the sense of high graphics for better graphic output specifically made for high definition televisions. Sony PS3 comes up with Blu-ray technology which allows the developers to stuff 50 gigs of high quality sound and gaming features. Sony PS3 comes up with a multithreaded processor of 3.2 GHz, NVIDIA "RSX" custom made graphic processor.

Sony PS3 comes with numerous accessories such as wireless Sixaxis and Dual shock 3 controllers. As discussed earlier about the Sony Playstation network, using which user can download thousand of free Playstation games. Sony PS3 also introduced the concept of creating avatar character for their playstation 3 system.

Total of 12 Titles were introduced along with PS3 on November 12, 2006 in North America that introduced Fall of Man, a first person shooter game which was rated top selling game. A total of 24 titles were introduced in Europe, including games which were not offered in North America. In the initial stages of the introduction of PS3, many websites and reviewers criticize it on the basis of high price and small number of launch games. However after number of price revisions it started to receive better reviews.

If you want to experience a high quality gaming experience and feel the ecstasy of gaming coupled with eye popping graphics then go for Sony PS3. Though it's a little on higher side when it comes to cost but for a gamer it's a value for money. So I strongly recommend you to go for Sony PS3 over Microsoft Xbox and Nintendo Wii.

New Nitendo Dsi Review

New Nintendo DSi Handheld Specifications

Today we will look at the Nintendo DSi specifications to see what the new handheld console has to offer. Released to Europe and US in April this new console will be the most advanced handheld on the market to date.

So lets take a look at the specs in detail.

Two screens, 3.25 inches in size. They are larger than the previous DS Lite and have a resolution of 256 x 192. The screens are smaller than the Sony PSP which has a 4.3 inch display and the Apple I-touch at 3.5 inch but bear in mind that the DSi has two screens creating a bigger viewing area.

Cameras. Two cameras provide the DSi with unique gaming abilities and one of them is VGA. The first camera is located on the internal hinge to capture the players face and the second is located externally on the corner of the lid allowing the user to take pictures like a proper camera and using the gaming screens to view the shot. The PSP has an optional camera, which is 1.3mega pixels. The iPod Touch has a built in camera of 2 mega pixels.

Memory wise the Nintendo DSi provides an SD Card slot along with internal flash memory storage of 256mb. The PSP can hold a memory card of up to 16gb and the iPod Touch has 8 to 32gb depending on which size the owner opts for.

All handhelds mentioned have Wi-Fi capabilities. This is an excellent feature which allows users to surf the web, connect with other consoles of the same type, and download new games, applications and software updates. They all have their own customised stores. Nintendo DSi has the DSi - ware shop, PSP has the PS Store and the iPod Touch uses the App Store.

The DSi has single touch screen technology, the PSP does not have this capability although there is a home brew piece of equipment that owners can buy to set up their own touch screen function. The iPod Touch does have touch screen which is multi-touch technology.

The Nintendo DSi is 12% thinner than the DS Lite but the length is a little longer. The power switch on the DS Lite has been replaced to a button on the DSi which is going back to the original DS. A matted finish has been applied compared to the gloss finish of the DS Lite, which is meant to prevent showing finger prints.

Primarily it will be released in matte black and matte white in Europe and the US. In Japan, Nintendo has already released colours in pink, lime green and metallic blue on 20th of March 2009. Battery life is reduced to 9-14 hours on the lowest brightness setting compared to the 15-19 hours of its predecessor. The Game Boy Advanced slot has been removed which means the DSi has lost backward compatibility. This decision was made to improve portability without sacrificing durability.

The CPU in the Nintendo DSi is an ARM clocked at 133 MHz and has 16 MB of RAM. and the speakers have been improved from the previous model. All said and done the Nintendo DSi is an impressive piece of equipment which will keep gamers happy until some thing bigger and better hits the market which for 2009 at least is very unlikely.

Guitar Heros 5

Guitar Hero was originally released on the PS2 on one glorious day in November of 2005. This much anticipated video game was special in that instead of the usual control pad used to play, the game was designed for use with a life-like guitar shaped device.

This unique controller was modeled after a real guitar called a Gibson SG. Using the guitar controller was very similar to using a real guitar, albeit with a few minor adjustments for simplicity's sake. Instead of containing several frets and six strings, the guitar hero controller had 5 fret buttons of differing colors, and a strum bar for strumming.

Originally developed by a video game company named Harmonix, it went on to receive numerous awards for its ingenuity and for the core of the game, its musical soundtrack. With 47 rock tracks by various big name artists, from the modern day to the 60s.

Due to the success of the first game, a second was released for the Playstation 2 in 2006, this time with an astonishing 64 musical tracks. Additional features included were the ability to multi-play against friends and non-friends alike. It went on to become the fifth highest grossing game of 2006 for the PS2. And due to unprecedented demand, a Guitar Hero II version was released for the Xbox 360. This version came with a special guitar and more songs.

And now, it's up to VERSION 5. This game is really popular and might be sold out everywhere. There is a great website (www.shoppingalarmclock.com) and it can help you get your copy of the game at retail price when they come in stock. Check it out.

Wii Sports Resort with Wii MotionPlus

In the Wii Sports Resort, the sequel to the popular Wii Sports, you'll discover a wide range of new sports and activities you can play anytime which makes this a must-have collection in any homes. It has received in general favourable reviews so far. Wii Sports Resort is set in a beach resort on an island called Wuhu Island, which is also found on the Wii Fit. You will need the new MotionPlus accessory because none of the games found in the Wii Sports Resort can be played without it. Thankfully the One MotionPlus comes with the game. A mentionable game found inside this collection is the archery. The Wii Remote acts as your bow, and you 'draw' the bow's string by pulling the nunchuck backwards. To sum it up, the Wii Sports Resort is a good showcase of the motion-detection technology in Wii.

Critics of Wii Sports will be the first to shout out "Nintendo might as well give them away free", bickering about the Wii hardware specification is on par to the Game Cube and the remote motion controller had to be redesigned and re-released as an upgraded MotionPlus to work well enough, will certainly not want to remark about the number of free value added bonuses you get by choosing a Nintendo Wii instead of Xbox or PS3.

Could the Wii console be offering too much or do other consoles not have enough?
