Currently, there are just six video game console systems that are considered to be the most popular in the market. These would be the Microsoft Xbox 360, the Sony PlayStation 2 or PS2 and PlayStation 3 or PS3, the PSP or PlayStation Portable, the Nintendo Wii and the Nintendo DS. With six of them, it could be quite hard to decide on which one would best suit your gaming capabilities and requirements. Once you add in the other older console systems as well, the choices are even more endless.

You could first consider the price – this would probably be the biggest factor for most people as they choose a console system to use. Prices can be as high as $599 for the PS3 or PlayStation 3 to just $129 for a Nintendo DS unit. Now, if you would really like to save money then you could just opt to buy the past generation console systems such as the PlayStation, a Nintendo 64 or a Super Nintendo which you could buy for not more than $20, if you would be buying them used. You would also need to consider the prices of the games that you would be using with the console that you have chosen. Games for the PS3 or an Xbox 360 would usually be around $60 new, while games for a Nintendo DS are around $30 new. Games that are for the older systems could be harder to find with the retailers, however they are often cheaper online.

Another factor would be the graphics. We have all seen that the quality of graphics has improved over the years and so, the newer console systems would of course have the best graphics. So far, PS3 and Xbox 360 have the best graphics. They could display in a High Definition TV. The graphical capabilities of Nintendo Wii are not as good as the other two, however many are satisfied in the graphics that it has. The PSP and Nintendo DS lack the graphical power which the home console systems have as they are portable, however the display of the PSP is better than the DS.

The last news on the electronic world

Also this year the long expected E3 Expo ’09 is coming in LA from 2 to 4 June and on the newspapers the first rumors are coming out on what electronic and videogame fans could admire at the LA exhibition. We begin, however, citing the latest data released last month on consoles sales in the United States dated to April 2009. These data are revolutionizing a bit the preexisting trend, as for the first time the Xbox 360 has surpassed the Playstation 3. The first relevant fact is the decline in console sales, Wii, Xbox, Ps3 all suffered a clear decline in sales, except the new Dsi that is flying in worldwide sales, in fact in a month it has already been sold in more than a million pieces. After comes the Wii, which continues to double sales of the Xbox 360 of Microsoft, which places on third position. Still lagging behind is the Ps3, which also shows a decline, perhaps for the increased interest toward the Nintendo consoles. Still lower, however, are the sales of the Playstation Portable, falling by 31% over the previous year. A sharp drop is registered also in the sales of video games, with a decline by 17% in April, and this is the second significantly monthly decline. On the one hand, Nintendo with its new handheld console total up a number slightly more than a million consoles sold, on the other hand, the entire game industry sees a major downturn both on the hardware and software sector. The decline is not attributable only to the market crisis, one of the most likely causes seem to be the lack of interesting titles coming out. But back to the exhibition f Los Angeles, the E3 Expo is the first world fair of computers, videogames and all products related to them. Here you will find every kind of electronic product and also the latest news of this industry. From rewritable CD and DVD, high definition DVD, blu-ray, to the latest news on the world of video games and also the most recent discoveries in the field of computer and electronics. This huge show is organized and produced by ESA (Entertainment Software Association), the U. S. association dedicated to the service of business and strategies of companies, to the publication of interactive games for game consoles, portable devices, handhelds, PC, internet. Microsoft now is planning a new 3D camera for the Xbox 360, with which users can control the game with the movements of the body, and it will be announced at the E3. with this move, Microsoft aims to offer more intuitive game modes, according to the recent success of Nintendo thanks to is wireless remote “Remote”, but unlike Nintendo, the 3D camera technology from Microsoft will not require to hold in hand any controller. Located next to the TV, it will capture the gestures of the users while they are moving hands, legs or head. The device should enable to detect even the most complex movements of the user. As for Sony, the Japanese firm not only will announce the new portable console PSP Go! but, according to some indiscretions, also a new version of the Playstation 3. This, following the same path of the Playstation 2, will have a smaller size and probably will be provided in a different finish. Since for a few days in North America the first controllers Dual Shock 3 have appeared in white, it is not wrong to think that the new PS3 could be right white. There are also strong rumors that several games, long expected, will be launched in conjunction with the fair. An edition really not to miss and to watch carefully for all the lovers of this sector.

Music from Queen: One Vision

Which gaming console is best out there? Well, there are three consoles that are definitely popular among others. These are PlayStation 3, Wii and Xbox 360. In terms of portable gaming consoles, the top two are PlayStation Portable and Nintendo DS. So which of these is best for adult gaming?
Below are the features of all 5 so you can decide for yourself.
1. PlayStation 3
Also known as PS 3, this is the newer sibling of PlayStation and PlayStation 2. It has an online gaming service that is unified, it can be connected with PlayStation Portable, it has a “Blu-Ray Disc”, which is an optical disc format that is very high definition, as a storage device, and to top it all off, as a cherry on top, it has great multimedia capabilities. There were two stock keeping units that were available on its launch back in 2007. The basic one that has a 20 gigabytes of hard disk drive and the special version that has 60 gigabytes of hard disk drive with added features.
2. Wii
This is a gaming console that was released by Nintendo, in response to the Xbox 360 of Microsoft and PS 3 of Sony, topping the performance of its predecessor, Nintendo Gamecube. A very competitive feature of this console is its controller that is wireless. This is the Wii remote that can detect movement. Its features are its very user friendly menu, its compatibility to Gamecube, it can be connected to its famous handheld version, Nintendo DS, it can be connected to the Net and if you are a parent, you will love this, it allows parental restrictions.
3. Xbox 360
Since NVIDIA stopped the GPU production of the original Xbox, Xbox 360 was thus produced and released in 2005. Its features are that it has a removable hard drive additive; it can support a game library via emulation. This emulation can be updated via Xbox Live.
4. PlayStation Portable
This is a portable device that is part of the PlayStation family. This device uses an optical disc format as its main storage (Universal Media Disc). It also has a wide screen that is good to watch movies in and play its games. It also has an extendable memory, you can buy 2GB, 4GB or even 8 GB memory. It has an option to play against other gamers with PSP through its wireless connection and you can also connect to the internet as it also has Wi-Fi.
5. Nintendo DS (or DS Lite)
A very unique feature of this handheld game is its two screens, with the horizontal one being touch screen. It has a clam shell architecture that has its own microphone and is also Wi-Fi ready. This game was actually released in America before Japan. 2 years after the release, Nintendo DS Lite was introduced, which is a lighter and sleeker version of the original one. It also has brighter LCD screens and it is also thinner.
Given these features, it is up to you to decide which system is best for adult gaming.

Parent’s Guide To Video Game Systems

At HomeComputerGames. com we get a lot of emails from parents asking about the various types of video games and gaming systems that are available. More than once I have heard “What exactly is a Halo 3? I can see how this can all be a bit daunting to a parent buying video games for their children. With so many different types of systems available it is often hard for someone that doesn’t play video games to keep up with it all. There is Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Nintendo Wii, PS2, PSP, RPG, ESRB. . . . . Here I have put together this Parent’s Guide to Video Game Systems in hopes that I might help prevent some poor parent from suffering the shame and embarrassment of not knowing what the hell your kid is talking about. To start you may want to familiarize yourself with some of the components of a “Gaming Systems”. Each Gaming System has it’s own technology and is comprised of the following: Gaming Console: This is the actual component that the gaming media that contains the actual game, such as a DVD or CD, is played on. Without this there is no gaming system as this contains your CPU, memory, and other such input and output ports. Gaming Controllers: These are your input device for playing the game. These are much like a mouse or keyboard that you use on your computer. Many controllers contain an array of buttons that perform various actions such as making a character in the game run or shoot a gun or some other assigned function. **A PC is a type of gaming system and in turn gaming systems are a type of PC Video Game Media: The most common type of Video Game Media are DVD, CD, Gaming Cartridge, and downloaded files. **Note that each video game is proprietary to it’s own Gaming System but may exist for several different types of Gaming Systems. So you might find a certain game is available for the PC and for the Xbox 360 but not available for Nintendo Wii or PS3. Each video game will state on the cover what Gaming System it is for. Viewing Screen:The Gaming Console has to be connected to some sort of monitor or TV to view the game on. Some of the Portable Gaming Systems have small Monitors built into them much like many cellphones now have. In fact many cellphones contain gaming systems along with the rest of their many functions. This section below explains several of the more popular gaming systems along with the necessary hardware. Some gaming systems may have gaming accessories that are compatible for other types of gaming consoles. But this is not the norm and for the most part gaming consoles have their own “proprietary” gaming accessories and games. Gaming Systems: Listed are some of the more popular Gaming Systems PC: Some will argue that the PC is not the most popular gaming system but more games are created and played on the PC than on all of the other Gaming Systems put together. The reason is the PC has been around longer and can perform other functions besides just being a gaming system. The PC is often an entry into video games as many families have personal computers and laptops. There are many thousands of video games available for the PC, many of which are not available for any of the other Gaming Systems. There are also many websites that have video games free to download or play online at no cost. Just Google free PC games and you will find a ton of arcade sites that allow you to play their games for free. Technical SpecsThis list could be vast and would change almost daily so only the basic details are listed. Manufacturer: Various, Dell, HP, Gateway, etc. . Game Media: DVD, CD, online downloadable files, online remote hosted media (flash games etc. . )Viewing Screen: PC MonitorOnline Playable: YESAvailable Controller Slots: VariousNumber of Games Available: Untold thousandsGaming Accessories: mouse, keyboard, guitar and other musical instruments, joystick (flight stick), airplane throttle controlls, gaming automobile steering wheel and pedals, headset, video / webcam, surround sound system, Data storage (hard drive), other Xbox 360: The Xbox 360 is Microsoft’s gaming system and is an upgrade from their original gaming system the Xbox. The Xbox 360 is probably the most popular gaming system outside of the PC though the Nintendo Wii surpassed the Xbox 360 in sales. Recently Microsoft lowered what was a very expensive gaming system making it more affordable to consumers. As a result sales have soared and has insured that the Xbox 360 will be around for some time to come. There is a vast array of video games available for the Xbox 360 covering all genres from the hard core shooter games to the more family oriented classic games such as Monopoly. The Xbox 360 is also backwards compatible for many of it’s predecessor the Xbox. Many new releases for the Xbox 360 are anticipated with zeal from gamers with many titles being sold out within hours of release. You may choose to Pre-Order many popular games before they are released to the public insuring that the game is secured for the customer with the game arriving a day or two after the official release. There are no extra charges in pre-ordering and this is a sure fire way to insure that you get your game before they are sold out. Technical SpecsManufacturer: MicrosoftGame Media: DVD, online downloadable filesViewing Screen: TV / MonitorOnline Playable: YES via subscription based Xbox 360 LiveAvailable Controller Slots: 4 with wireless controller capabilitiesNumber of Games Available: The total number of games available seems to be a bit of a mystery. Not counting the Xbox 360 Live Arcade games there is a known amount of 587 games though I cannot verify how close this is to the actual number of games available. There is a list of Xbox 360 Games listed at wikipedia. org. Gaming Accessories: At this writing there are many accessories available for the Xbox 360. Multi-button controller (many various types to choose from), keyboard, face plates (for changing the appearance of the gaming console), guitar and other musical instruments, gaming automobile steering wheel and pedals, headsets, video / webcam, surround sound system, External Data storage (hard drive, memory card), carrying cases and storage units, auxiliary cooling systems (the Xbox 360 has had some problems with it overheating), remote control, dance pad, and other accessories I am sure that I am missing Nintendo Wii: A unique feature of the Nintendo Wii, and one that makes it stand out from the rest of the gaming systems is it’s wireless controller, the Wii Remote, which can be used as a handheld pointing device and detect movement in three dimensions. This revolutionized the gaming industry in that many games call for you to act out actions such as swinging a sword or a tennis racket as opposed to sitting in your chair and pushing buttons. Of course this was a big hit with parents knowing that their children would at least have to stand up and get a bit of exercise. The Nintendo Wii was the top selling gaming console sold during 2007 and revolutionized the meaning of video games by introducing a video game entitled the Wii Fit, that caused you to get out of your chair and exercise. The game includes all sorts of exercise competitions and has an exercise manager to help you keep track of your workouts. Video games and exercise combined made for a newsworthy item and the Wii Fit sold off of the store shelves within hours. To date the Wii Fit is still hard to find except at inflated prices on Ebay. Technical SpecsManufacturer: NintendoGame Media: 12 cm Wii Optical Disc, 8 cm Nintendo GameCube Game DiscViewing Screen: TV / MonitorOnline Playable: YES via the free Nintendo Wi-Fi ConnectionAvailable Controller Slots: Up to four Wii Remote controllers (connected wirelessly via Bluetooth), Nintendo GameCube controller ports (4)Number of Games Available: Here again the total number of games available seems to be a bit of a mystery. The Nintendo Wii is also backwards compatible with the Nintendo Gamecube. Meaning that you can play old Gamecube Games on the Nintendo Wii. This does not include games released on Nintendo’s Virtual Console or WiiWare but there is a known amount of 518 games though again I cannot verify how close this is to the actual number of games available. There is a list of Nintendo Wii Games listed at wikipedia. org. Gaming Accessories: Outplacing the Xbox 360 there are many accessories available for the Nintendo Wii. Multi-button controller (many various types to choose from), keyboard, guitar and other musical instruments, gaming automobile steering wheel and pedals, headsets, video / webcam, surround sound system, memory card, carrying cases and storage units, various play weapons, remote control, dance pad, and other accessories I am sure that I am missing. Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3): The Sony PlayStation 3, also known as PS3, is the next in line of the 7th generation gaming consoles. The PS3 follows its predecessor, the PS2, as Sony’s next line of gaming systems. The PS2 was and I believe still is the leading gaming system of all time with over 140 million units sold to date. A major feature that sets the PS3 above the PS2 is it’s online gaming service, the PlayStation Network. The PS3 was also the first Blu-ray 2. 0-compliant Blu-ray player on the market. Other features include its multimedia capabilities, connectivity with the PlayStation Portable, and its use of a high-definition optical disc format, Blu-ray Disc. Several revisions to the system have been made with Sony now offering various versions such as the 20 GB model and the Premium model with a 60 GB hard drive. Technical SpecsManufacturer: Sony, Foxconn and ASUSTeKGame Media: Blu-ray Disc, DVD, CD (all models), Super Audio CD (20 GB, 60 GB, 80 GB (CECHExx models)Viewing Screen: TV / MonitorOnline Playable: YES via the free PlayStation NetworkAvailable Controller Slots: up to 7Number of Games Available: Once again the total number of games available seems to be a bit of a mystery. The PlayStation 3 is also backwards compatible with original PlayStation and PlayStation 2 games. Not counting the downloadable games from the PlayStation Network I found 442 games though again I cannot verify how close this is to the actual number of games available. There is a list of PS3 Games listed at wikipedia. org. Gaming Accessories: Multi-button controller (many various types to choose from), console skins for changing the look or the system, keyboard, guitar and other musical instruments, gaming automobile steering wheel and pedals, headsets, surround sound system, hard drives to 160 GB, carrying cases and storage units, remote control, dance pad, cooling system, PlayStation 3 Eye, and more as I am sure that I am missing some. These are the newest gaming systems available. Not to be forgotten are the portable gaming systems such as the Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP) and the Nintendo DS. These gaming systems are small portable handheld systems perfect for the on the go gamer and for family vacations. The two mentioned do interact with their big brothers the PS3 and the Nintendo Wii respectively. But this is for another article as I am sure you have read quite enough about video game systems for the moment.

Who doesn’t love games?!? I don’t think I can name one person that is my age who doesn’t enjoy playing video games online or offline, it’s just a fact of life! Between the DS lites and the Xbox 360s there’s no denying that gaming is a large part of a lot of people’s lives. According to market researcher David Cole, who runs the firm DFC Intelligence, his best estimate is that 40 percent of U. S. households own a working video-game console. Michael Pachter, an analyst for Wedbush Morgan Securities, estimates that 52 percent of households own consoles. Neither Cole nor Pachter is counting handheld devices, such as Nintendo’s Game Boy or Sony’s PlayStation Portable (PSP). Whether it’s 40% or 52% those are still pretty large percentages regarding ownership of gaming consoles!
The only downside to teasing us with all these new gaming capabilities is the price. Wii, for example, has been out for a while now and it still costs a few hundred bucks to buy one of these things. I even tried eBay, one of my all time favorite stores and the price can go up to $4,000 when bidding! That, to me, is just ridiculous. I would never pay that much for a system, ever! Sony Playstation 3 comes in at around $400 on a site like Best Buy, and Xbox 360 comes in at around $260 for a regular Xbox 360 and at around $400 for an Elite. The games aren’t much better heading in at around $40-$100 per game depending on its popularity and if it’s a special “limited” game.
So, what exactly are people supposed to do? Just not buy these consoles or games? No! Here’s what I do, I visit sites that have cheap or discount games and consoles. This allows you to buy the same exact quality assurance product at a store such as Best Buy but not pay an arm and a leg for the product. For example, a PS3 at a discount store will cost somewhere around $284 compared to other predecessors such as Best Buy for $400. That is sick! In this case, you could buy a discount PS3 for you and a friend and just top the price of one PS3 at Best Buy. The same goes for the top PS3 games. For example, Gran Turismo 5 Prologue (PS3) cost about $40 at Best Buy, and at discount stores about $20! That’s a $20 savings difference! Alright, let’s try for top PS3 accessories. The Logitech Driving Force Pro Wheel (PS3) From Logitech (yes the discount sites sell everything the regular stores do) which cost about $150 in retail stores and $75 in discount store. That’s pretty incredible.
So, really, which choice is the best choice? Really, I would go for the discount store. You can have all the same high quality products the regular stores sell, for a fraction of the price, and who doesn’t love saving money?!? Try it out for yourself so you can see exactly what I mean. Have fun and if you get stuck on any of the games you can always look for PS3 cheats online, there are plenty around!

Ive seen people who have portable playstations 3 on youtube. if this is real can i buy 1 anywhere?

No Stopping Wi-fi Gaming

As the battle of the handheld gaming systems hots up, one of the emerging must-haves is proving to be the capability of Wi-Fi gaming. As the term implies, Wi-Fi gaming involves playing games via a Wi-Fi internet connection to other players. The two most popular handheld gaming consoles, the PlayStation Portable (PSP) and the Nintendo DS, both allow Wi-Fi gaming, across the PlayStation Network and the Nintendo Wi-Fi Network, respectively.

Wi-Fi gaming allows users to compete against others connected to the internet nearby or even on the other side of the world. Even if you don’t have friends who have an interest in gaming, with 53 million Nintendo DS consoles and 25 million PSP consoles sold worldwide, it is unlikely that there won’t be anyone to play against, regardless of your preferred gaming genre.

Wi-Fi networks are accessible within the transmitting range of a wireless access point, or hotspot. In the US, the city of Albuquerque, New Mexico, has gone as far as to offer free Wi-Fi access to all of its residents. In the UK, Norwich is pioneering a free city-wide Wi-Fi project, employing 200 antennas to cover the city centre and three sectors of the city. Similar projects are being planned for other major UK cities, such as Manchester, London and Birmingham. For those not lucky enough to live in a city with a comparable scheme there are several free Wi-Fi connections in cafés, pubs and public places such as airports, and Nintendo have even struck a deal with McDonald’s in order to provide designated Wi-Fi access for the Nintendo Wi-Fi Network. In the UK there are currently 7500 branches offering this facility.

For those who prefer gaming at home, in addition to the handheld consoles, the latest-generation home consoles, that is, the Nintendo Wii, the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360 can all access the internet for gaming via Wi-Fi connections, although the Xbox 360 will require the optional USB Xbox 360 Wireless Networking Adapter to go wireless.

The range of games available for the handheld consoles for online play should be wide enough to suit anyone’s tastes. There’s role playing games such as Final Fantasy III and Zelda: The Phantom Hourglass, first-person shooters like Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Vegas, racing games such as Mario Kart DS and sports games, including FIFA 08 to name but a few. The opportunities are literally endless, and with the market for online gaming set to increase from $5. 9bn in 2007 to $13bn by 2012 according to research by the DFC Intelligence Group, that is unlikely to change anytime soon.

So with an almost limitless amount of places to play the games, people to play with and game genres, gamers are simply spoilt for choice by the current wave of Wi-Fi gaming.

There is something special about the video games of today. The people who enjoy playing them are living in a very exiting time. With the recent releases of Nintendo Wii and Playstation 3 (and Xbox 360 a little while back) the gaming experience has been raised to a whole new level. You know there must be something really exciting about the newly released next generation video game systems if people are willing to camp out in front of stores for a week before their release and then stampede inside the store once they open the doors.
While the hype was substantial leading up to the releases of Nintendo Wii and Sony’s Playstation 3, there is also something to be said for customer satisfaction in these cases. These customers are so happy with what they have already seen in the previous products of these companies that they cannot wait to get their hands on whatever products they are offering next.
The new features that these new systems offer such as Motion-Sensitive Remotes, Online Gaming, Wi-Fi Support and High Definition Game Support have customers fighting to be the first ones to have them. It is doubtful that any of them minded the camping out in front of the store part though, because they probably all had a PSP (Playstation Portable) with them and were playing all the cool PSP downloads they got from the Internet. You can now bring your video games with you where ever you go on the planet.
Sony and Nintendo are now neck and neck in the race for technological dominance of the computer game industry. While Playstation 2 dominated this race for years since it’s debut back in 1995, Xbox 360 came on the scene and became a competitor. Nintendo suddenly vaulted to the front of the race when they recently released their Wii console. This system takes gaming to a whole new level. It has a revolutionary type of motion sensitive remote control that allows the user to get off their seat and actually get some exercise as they punch, swing, kick and dance their way through the games.
Sony released their Playstation 3 console soon after Wii was released and they jumped back to the front of the race with this action along side Nintendo. Wii is selling for a little bit less than Playstation 3 is selling for, and this is a big plus for parents on a budget. However, Sony’s new system has many impressive features of it’s own such as DVD Movie Playback capability and a 60GB hard drive available. These two systems have a little bit of an advantage over Xbox, for it does not have a motion sensitive remote control.
Xbox will eventually have a system that is comparable to these two systems. The main reason that Xbox 360 is still in the game is because they have such a huge selection of games that go with their systems. The Xbox 360 console has 116 games that can be played with it, while Playstation 3 has 41 and Wii has 47 games. It will not be long before a new version of Xbox 360 is released and then the race will have 3 companies running neck and neck at the front.
Playing a video game these days is like stepping into another world and leaving reality behind for a little while. The technology that is involved with the production of these games is definitely on the cutting edge. Things like next generation motion capture, high definition graphics and motion-sensitive remote controls have made today’s video gaming experience nothing less than exhilarating, and to some extent liberating. Your problems disappear once you escape into the world of a video game.
The quality of the graphics, the level of interactivity and the variety of features these spectacular computer games offer these days are like nothing ever seen before. Playing these games is a great way to lose stress and forget about your problems for a little while, even if it is just for twenty minutes during a lunch break. Gameboy and Sony’s PSP units have made it so that you can play games just about anywhere.
It is an exciting time to be a video game player. Technology has advanced to the point where you are no longer just playing the game, but you are actually in the game. If you are the kind of person who just loves to play video games, then you must agree that it is a great time to be alive.
