Now, I could get all nostalgic and talk about the systems of my childhood and how it all began but I will leave that for another day. Instead, I would like to take some time to highlight the amazing systems of our childrens generation.
Sony Playstation 3
The 320GB PlayStation®3 system, just like the other systems, gives you everything you want: tons of exclusive games with great graphics; a built-in Blu-ray player for your HD movie collection; pristine picture quality delivered at 1080p; 320GB of memory housed in an incredibly light and quiet console; and built-in Wi-Fi. Register for a PlayStation®Network membership to get access to exclusive multiplayer online games or download hundreds of other games, movies and TV series. Once you subscribe to Netflix, you can even stream movies and TV series at no additional charge. Experience CDs and DVDs in surround sound by playing them on your PS3™ system and store music, photos and video on its giant hard drive. Simply put, get everything you want in a slim, sleek, powerful package.
Personally this is my go to system. It was my first "next-gen" console purchase when it launched back on November 17, 2006. I bought the original 60gb console that included the emotion engine which allowed for full backwards compatibility of all PS1 and PS2 games. The consoles made today do not offer PS2 backwards compatibility, which makes the one we have pretty rare. The Blu Ray player was a huge gamble for Sony but as everyone knows now, it has paid off as Blu Ray is the only HD format on disk. Speaking of Blu Ray, you see that little Inception Blu Ray offer right next to this article? It would be awesome if you clicked and ordered your copy today!! :)
Nintendo Wii
The Wii™ console brings a revolution of interactive gaming to people of all ages. Experience intuitive motion controls that deliver a unique social activity for the whole family. Wii gaming gets everyone off of the couch for hours of fun!
The Wii Remote controller is easy to use. The familiarity of a TV remote, combined with motion-sensing technology makes for a seamless experience. Just pick it up and make the motions you would as if you were really bowling, playing tennis, or golfing.
What the Wii lacks in HD output and a robust online gaming experience, it more than makes up for in good old fashion fun! When I first saw the Wii I immediately thought gimmick and I will be the first to admit that I was mistaken. Our family has thoroughly enjoyed the amazing nostalgic gaming experience the Wii offers. From the classic 1983 Mario Brothers to New 2009 Super Mario Bros, mix in the Wii Sports games and it's a wash, pure video gaming fun! I will also admit that Shannon is the queen of Mario. She kills it!
Microsoft Xbox 360
The new Xbox 360®. Here today, ready for tomorrow with a brand new, leaner look and an all new black gloss finish. Wi-Fi is built-in for easier connection to the world of entertainment on Xbox LIVE, where HD movies and TV stream in an instant. It's ready for the controller-free experiences of Kinect—you don't just play the game, you are the game. With the huge hard drive you'll have plenty of space to store your favorite games and movies. Xbox 360 is more games, entertainment. and fun.
While I have no actual hands on with the 360 for an extended period of time, I am hopeful that a Santa will squeeze his ass down the chimney and leave one under our Christmas tree. *cough*shannon*cough*! Was that subtle enough?! :)
Whether you're in the mood to play hardcore games on Xbox Live, catch your favorite movie in high definition Blu Ray or if you want to game like a kid again, there is a console out there for everyone!
Enjoy!!! Happy Gaming!!!!!!!
