The Wii

What is currently the hottest video game console
in 2008? The Nintendo Wii! It is ranked the
hottest game console on PMBBAY.COM and
it remains the most in-demand console this year!
Lets take a closer look at the Wii and find out
what we need to know before buying it. See our
complete video game console guide and compare
the Wii with the XBOX 360 and PS3. You decide
for yourself which game console is worth buying
now!The Wii weighs 2.7 pounds and is 8.5 inches
long by 6 inches wide. The Wii can be positioned
horizontally or vertically on it's stand. The console
uses a PowerPC processor created by Nintendo
and IBM and manufactured by IBM. The Wii also
uses an ATI graphics chip. The console has  
512MB of built-in flash memory for storage and
an SD card reader. Wii also has four built in ports
for GameCube controllers and two GameCube
memory card ports. The Wii includes a built-in
DVD slot drive for games. However, the Wii can't
play back music CDs or DVD movies at this time.
The Wii includes a 802.11b/g wireless network
adapter, but you can also add options such as a
LAN adaptor or a Wi-Fi USB adaptor that shares
a PC's Internet connection..Wii controllers are
designed to be easy to use whether you are left-
or right-handed. The Wii Remote has a plus pad
(D-pad), a large A button, a  B trigger, and
buttons labeled 1 and 2, power up, minus and
plus and a home button. The Wii Remote also
contains a control for adjusting force feedback, a
built-in speaker, a wrist strap, and four blue LED
lights that indicate which player  number you've
been assigned. A port on the remote lets you
connect the Nunchuk and other controllers. The
supplied Nunchuk controller is used with the Wii
Remote and provides an analog thumb stick, and
two front trigger buttons C and Z. A second Wii
Remote and a second Nunchuk are available,
however, it will cost extra. The Wii's unique
controller is responsive and easy to use. Your
movements can become more refined as you
learn how various games work. The Wii proves to
be just as much fun playing alone as playing with
a group of friends or family. At $250, the Wii is
affordable and is priced less than the PS3 and
XBOX 360. Wii is definitely fun to play and is
worth every dollar you spend on it.


XBOX 360 & PS3
It's been a little over two years since Sony first
announced its PlayStation 3 console. In that
time,plenty of hype (not to mention barbs)have
flown between the Microsoft and Sony camps,
each attempting to tout their machine as the
better offering. After all, who can forget when
Sony's Phil Harrison took the stage at the
European Game Developer's Conference in the
fall of 2005 and talked critically about Microsoft's
plan to release two retail versions of the Xbox
360? Are there two versions of the Xbox 360 that
people want to buy? I don't know said Harrison. I
look at those formats. I think it just confuses the
audience. They don't know which one to buy,
developers don't know which one to create for,
and retailers don't know which one to stock...So I
think we wouldn't take that strategy. We wouldn't
create confusion.; Want to buy an XBOX 360, Wii,
PS3, PSP or PS2 game system? Since the
propaganda has been constant on both sides of
the fence(strangely, the only thing Microsoft and
Sony can seem to agree on is that the Nintendo
Wii looks incredibly cool), we decided to sift
through all of the available information in order to
figure out exactly what both the PlayStation 3 and
Xbox 360 have to offer, and how they compare.
On display for the first time at E3 2006, the
PlayStation 3 has evolved since its
announcement two years ago. As expected, the
specs have been scaled back and Sony has
chosen to offer two versions of the PlayStation 3
in an attempt to appeal to the
cost-conscious.Retailing for $599 is the system
that most gamers will want when they head to the
store this November. Featuring a Blu-ray Disc
drive, a 60GB harddrive, four USB ports, memory
stick slots, Ethernet and WiFi for Internet
connectivity, and the highest-end video output
(HDMI), the system is fully loaded. The cheaper
version of the PlayStation 3 will retail for $499
and keeps the Blu-ray drive, but the hard drive is
reduced in size to 20GB, there are no ports for
memory sticks, and WiFi has been removed. The
HDMI port is also absent. Unlike the two Xbox 360
versions, it's impossible to fully upgrade the basic
version of the PlayStation 3. If you want to snag
all ofthe advanced features, you must pickup the
more expensive system at the outset. Want to buy
an XBOX 360, Wii, PS3, PSP or PS2 game
system? Missing from both versions is the
promised dual-screen, 1080p support(that's
1920x1080 resolution in progressive scan), as
well as the multiple Ethernet ports. The
controllerhas also been changed. Last year's
boomerang design is out and the standard Dual
Shock is back in. Only now the controller has
gone wireles sand it's lost the "shock"
(the rumble feedback). According to Sony, it had
achoice between adding motion sensing
technology similar to the Nintendo Wii or keeping
in the rumble feature, and it opted for the former.
Skeptics have speculated that the choice had
more to do with Immersion's lawsuit against Sony
than with technology, but the company is keeping
mum on that front.The lawsuit alleges that the
popular PlayStation 2 controller infringes on
immersion's patents and asks for nearly $100
million in damages. Already out on the market,
the Xbox 360 will have a full year on the
PlayStation 3 by the time Sony's system
launches. In the video game world, that's ages,
but time does not always signal a winner. After all,
the Sega Dreamcast had a year on the
PlayStation 2, yet it failed to fend off Sony's
system. From a hardware perspective, the Xbox
360 is slightly weaker than the PlayStation 3, but
not by much. It sports a similarly powered
processor(the Power PC CPU used in the Xbox
360 was developed by IBM, as was theCELL
processor used in the PlayStation 3), and can
push a comparable number of polygons.Based on
the demonstrations at E3,the Xbox 360 and
PlayStation 3 are neck and neck in terms of
visuals. Where the Xbox 360 lags is in storage
space for games. Getting a year's head start on
Sony meant using the standard DVD format for
games, which limits software developers to
around 9GB of space. In comparison, the
PlayStation 3's Blu-ray format can support around
50GB. On paper that sounds like a huge
disadvantage, but  in reality the difference is
minimal. Want to buy an XBOX 360, Wii, PS3,
PSP or PS2 game system?  The biggest part of
any game is typically the movies and the art used
for the visuals. While PlayStation 3developers will
no doubt fill their discs with high definition cinema
scenes,those same images can still be squeezed
onto a standard DVD in a lower resolution. After
all, most of a game is spent playing and not
watching cut scenes (usually!). With similar
system specs, picking a winner is going to come
down to the games.Here, the Xbox 360 already
has an advantage, although Microsoft's launch
wasn't without its stumbles. Gamers have been
very vocal about their disapproval of multi-system
ports appearing on the 360 for $10-$20 more,
without offering any extra features. Amongst the
common titles,however, Microsoft has already
seen a few standouts and as the summer presses
on, more are sure to come.The big news at E3
was the dual platform release of Grand Theft
Auto4. Hitting both the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox
360 at the same time, the announcement was
good news in several ways. As one of the highest
profile...
