This is nitendos. Latest master peice. Maybe its no "god" machine. It is also not a complete turn.
But playing it you may. Motion sensors action baby. Box, fight as Link, oh it will be the new nitendo. We all know Nitendo is now just a a concept company.
But here I am about to give it a little plug. If after the Wii comes out and you are using somethign else

A TDB Retrospective
A TDB Retrospective
Last year around this time, there were a few major news events, both nationally and here in Wisconsin. Today, I’m going to go back and take a look at those events in a special post I’m calling “A TDB Retrospective” (for those of you who are too lazy to read the title).
The two topics I am going to discuss are: Xbox 360 Launch, and Phillip Schuth.
Xbox 360 Launch – Around this time last year, we were all enjoying a nice chuckle at Microsoft’s expense. There weren’t enough 360’s to go around and the one’s that did make their way into people’s living rooms were buggier than the potato salad at a Fourth of July picnic. I even went so far as to make this bold statement:
"The worst launch in console history."
Good luck to Billy and all the other folks at Microsoft, I'm getting a PS3!
Well, this year, I am forced to resend that statement. I don’t believe I’ll be getting a PS3, I guess I’m a Microsoft fanboy this season. There are many reasons, but the main reason is cost. I don’t want to pay $600 for a console that I can’t even use most of the features of right now. Maybe in the future when I have a Hi-Def monitor…but why spend money now on something you don’t need now. Spend money later on something you need later.
Phillip Schuth – This is the man who put LaCrosse, Wisconsin on the map for freezing his dead mother in his basement deep freeze for months. As it turned out, he was doing it because he thought people would think he killed her (I wonder why…?) and he was collecting her social security checks. She was discovered after a complaint by someone who he shot at led to a search of his house. He is currently serving jail time I believe. However, there was one good thing about this situation: T-Shirts like this:
“My mom is cooler than your mom.”
And
“What do you have in your freezer?”
Ahh, the good times.
Well, that concludes my TDB Retrospective for today. I’d like to take this moment to let you know about the TDB podcast at audio.xanga.com/the_daily_beef or for download at www.myspace.com/tdbpodcast. Check out our myspace profile at www.myspace.com/the_daily_beef and you can email us at thedailybeef@gmail.com.
Wow, I’m writing this in Word and it’s onto it’s second page. This is defiantly one of my longer posts…

PS3 Launch Approaches
And if you have the means, I'd highly recommend you pick one up...and then sell it on ebay. The common thought among the gaming websites this week is the idea that if you are able to get your hands on a PS3, you should sell it on ebay (for prices somtimes exceeding double what you paid for it) and then use your actual profit to purchase a console for yourself later.
The fact that Americans are willing to pay double retail price for an untested, brand new console is quite interesting. One can look back and remember what happened last year with the Xbox 360 which was also making enormous profits for people selling it online. As it turns out, there were funamental flaws in the firmware and patches were required to stop games from freezing. And people were paying upwards of a thousand dollars for this.
One can only assume that the PS3 will have the same problems, sure they will be fixed...but it will have problems. And people are still willing to pay this much money.
The funny thing is, these are the people who are complaining about the PS3's base $500 price point. And yet they will pay $1000 for the console....me, I think I'll stick with my Xbox for the time being. Maybe when they lower the price, I'll pick up a 360. But it's not really that big a deal anymore. Graphics in my opinion don't really make games more fun anymore.
But that's just me...
