" Episode and we have to admit it right off the -- Not a yes especially. Are hardcore -- so we're looking lighter side of the next consul it's public so the gaming enthusiasts and yes and perhaps an aficionado."

" But certainly not part partner Michael whisper that artwork though yeah yeah I'll start a game I won't put them up and that won't look at."

" So -- claim that Microsoft is soft."

" Your software neighbor and electors -- Hillary is not to -- this in the next version of it yeah and if they could. Well let's get started and first I took a look at it with gaming on the."

" world won't."

" I've been waiting for updates -- Xbox 350 for a long time and -- if you leak tests. I want to be clear about that I'm not a big time gamer. I like my first persecutor just like the next -- but I would hardly call -- hardcore gamer. But look at the Xbox he think he more than multimedia centerpiece and living room. And what that's -- by being blatant games. Microsoft calls -- the ultimate gaming and entertainment. Hub as elite live up to be independent part of it well let's start with the heart."

" Besides the black that if you leave -- a 120 gigabyte hard drive six times the size of the regular 360. It's a 180 dollar upgrade for your regular Xbox in some sleep over it and it's got a Q mod for playing games or watching movies up to -- EP. The component cable handled having -- the movies are restricted to Kuwait he's with optional ED dvd drive 1080 I this best possible."

" if you might upscale everything that regular V for -- Not only -- owners can go get Hannity he would use the -- Of course it -- what was convenient for. -- arguing be over one cable partly things -- pretty much every high Def dvds and you month. One thing that -- though it's actually not one point three specification. That -- and if you can't get audio like eagle from the -- the --"

" Opportunity to -- what you can that he had three. But still that's only a minor issue I have compared to all other. I thought perhaps EG 85 will be built it. But that's a 200 dollar accessory they're no punitive quietly feed that's another hundred fox. And they're still only three USB port one on the back and you get you TV you -- and wireless. At the for the wireless. In the -- can dvd drive and keep it all all the time the two ports -- because -- have to reserve Pataki and comptroller if you get a plain tired yet. Yes there's still lots and lots of accessories. What they've been great if my father and good opportunity to really upgrade to the heart."

" Or is a perfect I definitely had an issue when it comes to the user base that -- interface here. It's almost really. Please it's intuitive it's easy to use all those things that make for pleasant user experience. But as a centerpiece for immediately at roughly sixty is lots of applications. Only rip music to go via a 409. -- yes it's not just the complaint and if we forgot this. I'll you have these sorts devices or portable media players and you can feed from the computer with his old friend the hard drive. -- video is LB is the only question youth upward -- Obama why. And you can't copy videos and hard drive you when it comes streaming video how people would you have to navigate and find it. On the PC -- music you have to use Windows Media Player eleven. Has to be stored in the my music folder so what's a huge hard drive for. It's clearly not my music collection because there's no way in hell I'm regretting my entire collection. And that I'll provide you with either. Ultimately it's for marketplace where you can download games demo and high Def movies would have IP think he's -- next -- If you think about -- definitely -- you definitely don't you lean burn it to be about a lot more features. -- gaming perspective you have to get involved gained fiftieth street and week. -- the centerpiece of the home entertainment system. I've seen lots of potential then I wish Microsoft would take hate of the Apple TV. And let me say my contact with -- we've sixty."

" So you totally blew a -- on netstat will isn't were there things like."

" 800 what dollars but public bought it second controller and it's that grant. You mention. It -- and that's wireless yet. That's the most. Unbelievable and idiotic thing I think ever. There's a lot of things about the U -- that I -- idiotic but all my god that no integrated wireless I."

" This is young they see the competition DC the PlayStation BC that we know what can -- do. -- that the next version that we like it name it and all -- might as well just like -- you what let's take on the yesterday had not throw in the dvd drive so the aren't -- What can grant on it C incorporated. But would act made it might even get to 600 the web look at that the PlayStation 3 600 bucks but that's so much more. If that was 600 bucks probably with a lot of they have wireless built in HD dvd. If it how to build it out -- by. However. You'll -- these guys with the money they. On the consul so I'll yet like that -- like Xbox probably cost like 800 dollars Canadian important."

" The biggest thing for meat out was -- at. Manufacturers totally take a lot -- yeah and if they start to make a profit than."

" The fan boys freak out that like how you make money on something we like to use. In -- again the idea that gains will cover --"

" Well but it -- just has to keep in mind that you leaked."

" Is not a crazy you can throw around lightly years ago Kevin Rose and our co -- screen savers and -- on duty emailed in any columns of the elite -- or and he wanted to know what the best Linux distribution --"

" And governor I would like dude how do you congress so any hacks or you don't even know. Which you should have a favorite when and you should be willing to -- to the death yeah so you leave yet so I have a problem with -- Devalued -- yeah and now the Xbox needs a wireless."

" Well I think that's really all."

" Well this this isn't like it's the problem with is -- like that power brick is interviewed justice that has not yet. Pileup and then by the tiny -- like we crap I spent a lot money and it looks. It's like -- is -- mess this -- all over my table out like like yeah exactly."

" Except he acts we've got this basically is this is what he Xbox looks like -- so what else might well."

" Maybe they'll grow into it or so. But this is also this is silly to have the dvd player suffers from the whole thing just seems a little less I don't get I'll get either but they have -- that you think you have like games."

" And again that's. Half an X and and I understand."

" And it by the way we were talking about this before we started the show we know the we're gonna this off and was all over the place our goal is to make all of you angry. -- we were we were talking about about how. That Xbox. Seems to have like. A lack of focus and lack of direct and like well are we gonna be like giving and it's here yeah yeah yeah it seems to be the best suited for this."

" For hardcore gamers yet although there's a top engage in debate controller's author of the communities in the edit -- the online -- it's great I think the market place is cool unlike a lot about it but. From the entertaining consul side of it. Loud war that you lot of work like that is built not be able to copy music onto the hard drive. -- 128. Call on Iraq this actually let you -- or even the ability that streaming from your computer why on earth. Do you like Apple TV tapping and sync my music to it why not do that kind of approach but there it's not -- is when you when -- later -- doing this."

" I'm shocked that to find that there's a Microsoft product that really locks you into using proprietary -- Foreman yeah that's."

" Got it and doctor it up well and -- I looked at the console most likely to in the mistaken for my name in print."

" Wow wow world."

" It's been available for six months but we still incredibly hard to find and it's just as popular as ever and if you spend five minutes playing -- you'll see why. But he is more than just the gaming console is a social experience. First up compared to the Xbox-360. And PS3 the Wii just doesn't have the graphics and processing power toward the multimedia capabilities you're not gonna play blu ray's HDDVD easily or even regular dvds. So expect this to be the supreme all in one entertainment system in the living room. The Wii is the lightest gaming console of the Big Three when it's very simple understated. I'm gonna call -- elegant design. On the front the slot loading drive is backwards compatible with gamecube discs. There's an SD slot for extra memory storage on the top there's forward joystick ports and two slots for gamecube memory cards. And the -- of -- USB ports one in the input and an input for wireless receiver."

" For HD CBS HDMI -- the -- does only 480."

" Nintendo hasn't just take in the gaming experience to a new level they've also updated the online experience. Content on your Wii is organized into -- channels and good. -- the Internet channel the everybody votes channel the weather channel and the news channel these are all free. In fact if you're gonna pay for and we right now are the virtual console games."

" A really fun component of the week is the need channel this is a place where you can build little avatars and yourselves and your friends and even famous people. Online at Nintendo Wii fan boy dot com they were on a weekly content from people think screen shots of various means that they've built."

" I don't the entire cast of the Brady Bunch but the Big Three from the original Star Trek and my friend sent me Jesus built -- built in wireless 80211 -- and -- and it works with WE PA and WPA networks. The setup is smooth and ridiculously easy to surf the web who uses the opera web browser and the Internet channel is currently free. When the final release of opera does come out -- probably cost around thirty dollars which is how war dangerously expensive for a web browser. The web browsing is however surprisingly pleasant even when you're viewing heavy flash site like Revision 3 year you -- Hey look it's heavy flash site dot com."

" Each Wii has a unique code which can be traded with other Wii owners that you can send emails and knees in between your consoles. It's a little weird but it's really fun to turn me on and see that."

" None of your friends is censure wouldn't mean there are an email about how they just own your high score on Wii Sports. So were impressed with all the non gaming content but since the Wii is a gaming console let's focus on big games for a minute. -- the -- was originally announced as the Nintendo revolution. What we. Really caught everyone's attention it was the controller this is. -- the Wii remote -- we motive here hardcore Nintendo under is still angry that they don't column the revolution. It's really cool that's a motion sensing of ice from the speaker and it. And it encourages you to. Get up off the couch and really get physically involved in your games. -- sword fighting in all kinds of sports games and require you to attempt to jump around and really kind of -- feel kind of like an idiot which is sort of what gaming is all about. -- there -- reasons that Nintendo's Wii is so popular with hardcore gamers casual gamers and even people in retirement homes. It's because it's so simple to pick up -- we wrote and get involved in the game. There's one thing gaming nerds like to do more than play games it's argue about which system is the best. I've always said that like with computers the best system is the one that does what you really wanna do the most do we does not have the best graphics of the current generation of gaming consoles and it doesn't even have the widest catalog of really awesome first person shooter games -- to be so popular with the -- kids today. But unlike the PlayStation 3 and Xbox-360. The Nintendo Wii is a social gaming experience games like cooking mama and why are you aware and Wii Sports and we play. Really encouraging to get up and goof off with your friends -- great if you want to watch YouTube videos -- a full size TV screen you can do that really easily if you wanna watch our show. I'm a full sized TV screen with your nifty surround sound what you can do that as well. I think it's priced affordability for what it does and if you're like me and in -- mid thirties and really longing for those days when the Nintendo entertainment system was seriously the balls. You are gonna love. The virtual console I've spent more time playing Super Mario Brothers and the original legend of Zelda on my Nintendo Wii and I've spent playing the new legend of Zelda and super paper Mario I think it's a great console and I really love it I just wish it was easier find."

" Can I say I've never wait in line for anything in my entire life. Except for the week. And that's I got my idea and it was launched it wasn't why not actually see it but this is -- like four months later -- months later actually waited in line by eight."

" I want that we so badly kept going to the store over Hillary tried again ignorant narrow so to be the keynote speaker and here it exposed. Later this summer and I mentioned to the guys that -- inviting -- to that is don't have a Wii in and you know I don't number. He's like oh look -- of the week. So my Wii is from here. -- I didn't just makes it kind of cool I makes more if you hate me."

" I bet you know lying. I they had oh I that is going to Seattle and and and try to make 5000 people hate me for half an hour."

" You know I -- I would rather."

" They. Five hours -- or by the do you like it. I'd love it it's a lot of fine I didn't want it to the other games though like the it's paper Mario I -- that it is it Wii Sports is basically like played a lot of."

" It's excellent so much fun honestly to watch you guys. I mean that it's okay and he has played very differently because. Will actually. You know just kind for the tennis just -- Little bits look at the rest on on the other hand."

" Like I'm really put on. It and I'm hoping to win what they can't agent Leo okay. And it. -- things that I really like about the knee it is that does just so much more than strictly gaming Internet channel I think it is the best browser any -- out there. The the different channels -- setup. In ways that I just think it's time. For your money at least expensive and yes yet. And I think you're sacrificing graphics but. It's never been about graphics -- about -- for you know like I love the original -- And would much rather play the original do. Then some of the new her games that you know it's that that the sort of like all on rails and games. And I do look like immediately memorial where you that you haven't seen me up in. The dark."

" It's I I think."

" The great system I do think that these days it had in others consul to. Yeah order -- yeah I mean like it's still what fun."

" This whole episode is more about how you're gaming device might also double your media. This is not going to be. The way to -- that we are not the media in it and it. I think it's the best back to if you were only talking and he now not in hardcore gamer meaning softly --"

" Yet but yeah I agree that deathly -- to a lot advance features. But. You'll have it in place so much more entertaining. --"

" Well -- all the consoles abolishing consul the Wii is the one. That I can take to my parents house and inside of five minutes my mom dad play games tactic that active it's actually true."

" Tunnel and planned well. I'm not a fan boy or anger of them matter but I took a look at the best of Blu-ray player market."

" Wow wow world."

" This Sony PlayStation 3 your one stop entertainment shot. Well at least that's what they exacts a -- Sony went missing but is it truly the ultimate consul of the Big Three."

" The PS3 is the most stylish consul and it comes with a bunch of integrated features. They're memory card slots those pictures from your digital camera. For listening ports for plugging joystick port Perry as he drives. There's HDMI though that cable is included and -- integrated Wi-Fi and listens to point out. Microsoft could learn a thing or two from the PS3 in hardware alone I'd say it's the most nature. Let's not forget that this is also -- Blu-ray player and the -- firm requirements and it up converting dvd players to. And it's a great price and that's all you're planning on music for the that I'm interested in that he is three more and then for gaming and just a dvd player I'm and it for the whole multimedia experience. It plays it rips music to a sixteen gigabyte hard drive in this version you can written in various formats including HC MP3 and sound old eight tracks at various that race. It can also play back deafening music. But more importantly people copying music on the hard drive though I've only managed to copy would burn index external storage devices don't seem to work. Then there's a picture of -- that supports format from JPEG and -- And then there's also the media support. It plays and paying one and Q and 186 or files no DivX or exit. Also a web browser something Xbox-360. Doesn't but the -- navigating that was terrible it's like basic point and click. Had to rethink things on him. Of course the PS3 isn't gaming console but there's a limited selection of killer games and the six axis controller here destroys the gaming experience. Sony should've paid for rumble pack right from the start. And navigating through menus on the history is easy enough but it just doesn't have that wow effect I like Xbox 360s blade interface. It's just a tad boring if you ask me. So as a peer gaming console I would say this history. Isn't gonna be the way to go however it isn't the best next gen console if you're talking full time experience."

" The graphics look pretty good about yesterday -- so when I walked and."

" I basically saw the screen and I had to ask you if that was the game because it looked straight up like. In race card on it in amnesty. As a red -- is no HP yeah look it demo -- actually looks bad --"

" That reminds me that graphic experience reminds me of the very first genocide treaty effects that voodoo card or something like that and would have been in the early to mid ninety's -- it was like CE -- and they were showing a hockey."

" And it looked like a real hockey game because at that time you would think like compares it would be like pole position to grand --"

" Or Wayne Gretzky hockey on the amiga to this NHL like 95 or whatever was -- to see something that looks so photo realistic."

" Now me Christians on -- they've done a lot in that particular game to the PS3 got some really beautiful looking games. If it from. Gaining perspective like the controller they got that. They got -- of that force that it is for that's drag this would control it and it feels like if you you know you have. Rate issues you told is that the body actually explode. First is like an Xbox controller what you may actually not the person now back into."

" And do it reminds me a lot of yes and it feels as well yeah if it into a really archaic."

" It's it's not -- and -- to -- in the game."

" But on on the outside if it were talking about and add more yeah. It's it'd probably went out."

" Always I I."

" I really like that it does more than support one. Format for encoding music and that sort of thing and I think Sony was really wise to let you put in a lot of different memory cards yes I was always really turned off by sending back the only issues I'm only living use those weird memory stick things in everything in trying to -- you --"

" You into a Sony lifestyle so that's pretty cool but. If I remember correctly you had a lot of problems with the dvd player when you first got office."

" You had the very first versions -- every now in it would just get chapters in Blu-ray and make these these that they had helmet for more updates. We didn't actually it. Yes have a have promises but I literally let me that turn on there's firmware update so right. I'm sure there's been anymore after that we just updated again just before should show it. It's. From the media center perspective and that's a lot a lot more and you can copy music on that hard. To."

" I don't say you know since Xbox costs precludes him grant is to pass that fifteen. He can you can spend a couple hundred extra dollars you go to the mean for gaming me. And I I agree that the anyhow all I'm."

" It."

" He acts but it's if -- talk up because it comes down to what do you like to play right the Xbox had a lot of games yeah."

" That the -- but -- but John Madden football."

" Terrible. It's -- this is not not smooth it sees it like it is not a good experience on -- like it will work I'd rather go did you --"

" So that. It doesn't do days particularly well at this point in my opinion just like well."

" You're not currently -- it when we were dolby we were talking to Jack and -- he was showing us Blu-ray on the pianist area and the general consensus among all of us at that time."

" Is that they're not really trying to do gain."

" As much as they're trying to create a media hub yet and I think that's really a pair in the different formats you can -- into the machine and -- focus of the placed an upgrade from -- make dvds work -- lack of focus that they. On really making really terrific games it's really really clear that Nintendo wants to be the next generation gaming yes consul like that's -- seems to be like what what there kind of go for Microsoft wants to. So -- wireless adapters."

" Get out there and -- it's like I only know how to describe it because it's like. It's been I guess it's in a way it's PC mentality right yeah you bite that. Box you know -- by the computer it doesn't do any that's something you can you see it -- what it. And is adamant -- yes three everything's right there love it so I hope."

" We we've managed to really really infuriate the each a fan boy and and all of the granted all loyalist across across the board and also validate. The rest of you. Now outwards BC news segment this week where I spend just a minute talking about something that is important to me that I think is important to nerds everywhere. This is the inaugural segment. Just a minute."

" Wow wow --"

" Thank commercial broadcast radio boring and repetitive like idea there's a great alternative Internet radio. We -- have songs recommended to you by pandora or share music with like minded friends like last or just -- strewn like groove salad -- secret agent from -- FM. The options are as wide as the Internet is filled with tubes. But there's a problem the recording industry want to stop all of that. The copyright royalty board at the behest of the recording industry and there will be collection service sound exchange has recently decided that there. Increase rates on Internet broadcasters to a point where they may not be referred to stand there. Now the recording industry claims that this is about protecting artists and making sure that everyone gets the money that they boot but that's a little."

" This is all about particular monopoly that has existed between the big -- publishers like universal BMG Sony."

" And -- we're broadcasters like clear channel and infinity. This isn't about making sure that artists get paid this is about making sure that people have the choice the choice to choose between commercial broadcast repetitive."

" Crack and independently produced Internet radio. We have a small chance to save Internet radio."

" The house and senate is considering a bill which would make Internet royalty rates to cool with those of satellite radio which is roof there. Website at in digital online dot com pop into the forms and look for post by me called save Internet radio -- information you need to contact your representatives would be there."

" There is a wonderful thing movie's fantastic we should all be good to listen to the things you. You wanna listen to not contains the recording industry is trying to cram down our throats. -- Again this is neat and and I think that --"

" According industry is trying very very hard to protect the monopoly that has existed for a long time you know like with -- and everything between a major record labels and very few companies controlled media. And they're scared that under rated and that's -- this luckily. The Internet radio organization has been. The -- radio producers have been tremendously. Organized. People from radio appearances on them. And a few other people have gone to Capitol Hill. There are a hundred co sponsors of HR 2260 which is a bill that Apple 2660. -- the numbers are being well it'll be in the form. But there are now a hundred -- in the house legislation that would make royalties for Internet radio. Equivalent to royalties -- there's a fake. -- going around sponsored surprisingly by the recording industry that would just sort of put this on for another year another two years -- to go to the whole thing again. But like I said segment. This is not -- fall about protecting artists this is not at all about making sure artists have. No money in their pocket it's about protecting monopoly experts consumers I think that there's."

" I I I remember watching this show -- it's not documentary -- news item about. The Grateful Dead dates these basic speech directly directories on this because. David did you get a dollar two dollars it is for this twenty dollars seen you buying -- like it's all marketing money which is basically slush fund. In the Cayman island somewhere -- yeah a lot a lot of."

" Artists you know artists pay for their own music videos and pay for their own promotions and a lot of this stuff is coming in their pockets so when artists tried to embrace their fans and give away music to their."

" Difference -- what difference I mean tape their shows and and really encourage them to it it."

" To participate -- the music expense and the labels freak out because they're like they're losing potential money and I've never in my life. Come across an organization. That so furiously. Fights its customers and so so like just link is so combative with -- its customers as he articulates to stoop. I wish it would go away that we can hear about dances like the actor. Like you're getting your figures to watch the no way yet there and looks awfully you know -- be really clear about this it's not like you buy the recording industry or you have a bunch of pirates there people in the little yet you know. And the recording industry needs to embrace the technology that list there members there artists reach out. And blind audience that today. CBS. Bought last. So they're just doing it to increase -- so obviously there are a few people are starting to realize hero opportunities to. Embrace the the audience that's a good thing they should absolutely not be driving out independent broadcasters. And homogenized music so that everything is the same top forty problems you know I turn off the radio to get away -- So I'll look more information four."

" Well this this isn't like it's the problem with is -- like that power brick is interviewed justice that has not yet. Pileup and then by the tiny -- like we crap I spent a lot money and it looks. It's like -- is -- mess this -- all over my table out like like yeah exactly."

" Except he acts we've got this basically is this is what he Xbox looks like -- so what else might well."

" Maybe they'll grow into it or so. But this is also this is silly to have the dvd player suffers from the whole thing just seems a little less I don't get I'll get either but they have -- that you think you have like games."

" And again that's. Half an X and and I understand."

" And it by the way we were talking about this before we started the show we know the we're gonna this off and was all over the place our goal is to make all of you angry. -- we were we were talking about about how. That Xbox. Seems to have like. A lack of focus and lack of direct and like well are we gonna be like giving and it's here yeah yeah yeah it seems to be the best suited for this."

" For hardcore gamers yet although there's a top engage in debate controller's author of the communities in the edit -- the online -- it's great I think the market place is cool unlike a lot about it but. From the entertaining consul side of it. Loud war that you lot of work like that is built not be able to copy music onto the hard drive. -- 128. Call on Iraq this actually let you -- or even the ability that streaming from your computer why on earth. Do you like Apple TV tapping and sync my music to it why not do that kind of approach but there it's not -- is when you when -- later -- doing this."

" I'm shocked that to find that there's a Microsoft product that really locks you into using proprietary -- Foreman yeah that's."

" Got it and doctor it up well and -- I looked at the console most likely to in the mistaken for my name in print."

" Wow wow world."

" It's been available for six months but we still incredibly hard to find and it's just as popular as ever and if you spend five minutes playing -- you'll see why. But he is more than just the gaming console is a social experience. First up compared to the Xbox-360. And PS3 the Wii just doesn't have the graphics and processing power toward the multimedia capabilities you're not gonna play blu ray's HDDVD easily or even regular dvds. So expect this to be the supreme all in one entertainment system in the living room. The Wii is the lightest gaming console of the Big Three when it's very simple understated. I'm gonna call -- elegant design. On the front the slot loading drive is backwards compatible with gamecube discs. There's an SD slot for extra memory storage on the top there's forward joystick ports and two slots for gamecube memory cards. And the -- of -- USB ports one in the input and an input for wireless receiver."

" For HD CBS HDMI -- the -- does only 480."

" Nintendo hasn't just take in the gaming experience to a new level they've also updated the online experience. Content on your Wii is organized into -- channels and good. -- the Internet channel the everybody votes channel the weather channel and the news channel these are all free. In fact if you're gonna pay for and we right now are the virtual console games."

" A really fun component of the week is the need channel this is a place where you can build little avatars and yourselves and your friends and even famous people. Online at Nintendo Wii fan boy dot com they were on a weekly content from people think screen shots of various means that they've built."

" I don't the entire cast of the Brady Bunch but the Big Three from the original Star Trek and my friend sent me Jesus built -- built in wireless 80211 -- and -- and it works with WE PA and WPA networks. The setup is smooth and ridiculously easy to surf the web who uses the opera web browser and the Internet channel is currently free. When the final release of opera does come out -- probably cost around thirty dollars which is how war dangerously expensive for a web browser. The web browsing is however surprisingly pleasant even when you're viewing heavy flash site like Revision 3 year you -- Hey look it's heavy flash site dot com."

" Each Wii has a unique code which can be traded with other Wii owners that you can send emails and knees in between your consoles. It's a little weird but it's really fun to turn me on and see that."

" None of your friends is censure wouldn't mean there are an email about how they just own your high score on Wii Sports. So were impressed with all the non gaming content but since the Wii is a gaming console let's focus on big games for a minute. -- the -- was originally announced as the Nintendo revolution. What we. Really caught everyone's attention it was the controller this is. -- the Wii remote -- we motive here hardcore Nintendo under is still angry that they don't column the revolution. It's really cool that's a motion sensing of ice from the speaker and it. And it encourages you to. Get up off the couch and really get physically involved in your games. -- sword fighting in all kinds of sports games and require you to attempt to jump around and really kind of -- feel kind of like an idiot which is sort of what gaming is all about. -- there -- reasons that Nintendo's Wii is so popular with hardcore gamers casual gamers and even people in retirement homes. It's because it's so simple to pick up -- we wrote and get involved in the game. There's one thing gaming nerds like to do more than play games it's argue about which system is the best. I've always said that like with computers the best system is the one that does what you really wanna do the most do we does not have the best graphics of the current generation of gaming consoles and it doesn't even have the widest catalog of really awesome first person shooter games -- to be so popular with the -- kids today. But unlike the PlayStation 3 and Xbox-360. The Nintendo Wii is a social gaming experience games like cooking mama and why are you aware and Wii Sports and we play. Really encouraging to get up and goof off with your friends -- great if you want to watch YouTube videos -- a full size TV screen you can do that really easily if you wanna watch our show. I'm a full sized TV screen with your nifty surround sound what you can do that as well. I think it's priced affordability for what it does and if you're like me and in -- mid thirties and really longing for those days when the Nintendo entertainment system was seriously the balls. You are gonna love. The virtual console I've spent more time playing Super Mario Brothers and the original legend of Zelda on my Nintendo Wii and I've spent playing the new legend of Zelda and super paper Mario I think it's a great console and I really love it I just wish it was easier find."

" Can I say I've never wait in line for anything in my entire life. Except for the week. And that's I got my idea and it was launched it wasn't why not actually see it but this is -- like four months later -- months later actually waited in line by eight."

" I want that we so badly kept going to the store over Hillary tried again ignorant narrow so to be the keynote speaker and here it exposed. Later this summer and I mentioned to the guys that -- inviting -- to that is don't have a Wii in and you know I don't number. He's like oh look -- of the week. So my Wii is from here. -- I didn't just makes it kind of cool I makes more if you hate me."

" I bet you know lying. I they had oh I that is going to Seattle and and and try to make 5000 people hate me for half an hour."

" You know I -- I would rather."

" They. Five hours -- or by the do you like it. I'd love it it's a lot of fine I didn't want it to the other games though like the it's paper Mario I -- that it is it Wii Sports is basically like played a lot of."

" It's excellent so much fun honestly to watch you guys. I mean that it's okay and he has played very differently because. Will actually. You know just kind for the tennis just -- Little bits look at the rest on on the other hand."

" Like I'm really put on. It and I'm hoping to win what they can't agent Leo okay. And it. -- things that I really like about the knee it is that does just so much more than strictly gaming Internet channel I think it is the best browser any -- out there. The the different channels -- setup. In ways that I just think it's time. For your money at least expensive and yes yet. And I think you're sacrificing graphics but. It's never been about graphics -- about -- for you know like I love the original -- And would much rather play the original do. Then some of the new her games that you know it's that that the sort of like all on rails and games. And I do look like immediately memorial where you that you haven't seen me up in. The dark."

" It's I I think."

" The great system I do think that these days it had in others consul to. Yeah order -- yeah I mean like it's still what fun."

" This whole episode is more about how you're gaming device might also double your media. This is not going to be. The way to -- that we are not the media in it and it. I think it's the best back to if you were only talking and he now not in hardcore gamer meaning softly --"

" Yet but yeah I agree that deathly -- to a lot advance features. But. You'll have it in place so much more entertaining. --"

" Well -- all the consoles abolishing consul the Wii is the one. That I can take to my parents house and inside of five minutes my mom dad play games tactic that active it's actually true."

" Tunnel and planned well. I'm not a fan boy or anger of them matter but I took a look at the best of Blu-ray player market."

" Wow wow world."

" This Sony PlayStation 3 your one stop entertainment shot. Well at least that's what they exacts a -- Sony went missing but is it truly the ultimate consul of the Big Three."

" The PS3 is the most stylish consul and it comes with a bunch of integrated features. They're memory card slots those pictures from your digital camera. For listening ports for plugging joystick port Perry as he drives. There's HDMI though that cable is included and -- integrated Wi-Fi and listens to point out. Microsoft could learn a thing or two from the PS3 in hardware alone I'd say it's the most nature. Let's not forget that this is also -- Blu-ray player and the -- firm requirements and it up converting dvd players to. And it's a great price and that's all you're planning on music for the that I'm interested in that he is three more and then for gaming and just a dvd player I'm and it for the whole multimedia experience. It plays it rips music to a sixteen gigabyte hard drive in this version you can written in various formats including HC MP3 and sound old eight tracks at various that race. It can also play back deafening music. But more importantly people copying music on the hard drive though I've only managed to copy would burn index external storage devices don't seem to work. Then there's a picture of -- that supports format from JPEG and -- And then there's also the media support. It plays and paying one and Q and 186 or files no DivX or exit. Also a web browser something Xbox-360. Doesn't but the -- navigating that was terrible it's like basic point and click. Had to rethink things on him. Of course the PS3 isn't gaming console but there's a limited selection of killer games and the six axis controller here destroys the gaming experience. Sony should've paid for rumble pack right from the start. And navigating through menus on the history is easy enough but it just doesn't have that wow effect I like Xbox 360s blade interface. It's just a tad boring if you ask me. So as a peer gaming console I would say this history. Isn't gonna be the way to go however it isn't the best next gen console if you're talking full time experience."

" The graphics look pretty good about yesterday -- so when I walked and."

" I basically saw the screen and I had to ask you if that was the game because it looked straight up like. In race card on it in amnesty. As a red -- is no HP yeah look it demo -- actually looks bad --"

" That reminds me that graphic experience reminds me of the very first genocide treaty effects that voodoo card or something like that and would have been in the early to mid ninety's -- it was like CE -- and they were showing a hockey."

" And it looked like a real hockey game because at that time you would think like compares it would be like pole position to grand --"

" Or Wayne Gretzky hockey on the amiga to this NHL like 95 or whatever was -- to see something that looks so photo realistic."

" Now me Christians on -- they've done a lot in that particular game to the PS3 got some really beautiful looking games. If it from. Gaining perspective like the controller they got that. They got -- of that force that it is for that's drag this would control it and it feels like if you you know you have. Rate issues you told is that the body actually explode. First is like an Xbox controller what you may actually not the person now back into."

" And do it reminds me a lot of yes and it feels as well yeah if it into a really archaic."

" It's it's not -- and -- to -- in the game."

" But on on the outside if it were talking about and add more yeah. It's it'd probably went out."

" Always I I."

" I really like that it does more than support one. Format for encoding music and that sort of thing and I think Sony was really wise to let you put in a lot of different memory cards yes I was always really turned off by sending back the only issues I'm only living use those weird memory stick things in everything in trying to -- you --"

" You into a Sony lifestyle so that's pretty cool but. If I remember correctly you had a lot of problems with the dvd player when you first got office."

" You had the very first versions -- every now in it would just get chapters in Blu-ray and make these these that they had helmet for more updates. We didn't actually it. Yes have a have promises but I literally let me that turn on there's firmware update so right. I'm sure there's been anymore after that we just updated again just before should show it. It's. From the media center perspective and that's a lot a lot more and you can copy music on that hard. To."

" I don't say you know since Xbox costs precludes him grant is to pass that fifteen. He can you can spend a couple hundred extra dollars you go to the mean for gaming me. And I I agree that the anyhow all I'm."

" It."

" He acts but it's if -- talk up because it comes down to what do you like to play right the Xbox had a lot of games yeah."

" That the -- but -- but John Madden football."

" Terrible. It's -- this is not not smooth it sees it like it is not a good experience on -- like it will work I'd rather go did you --"

" So that. It doesn't do days particularly well at this point in my opinion just like well."

" You're not currently -- it when we were dolby we were talking to Jack and -- he was showing us Blu-ray on the pianist area and the general consensus among all of us at that time."

" Is that they're not really trying to do gain."

" As much as they're trying to create a media hub yet and I think that's really a pair in the different formats you can -- into the machine and -- focus of the placed an upgrade from -- make dvds work -- lack of focus that they. On really making really terrific games it's really really clear that Nintendo wants to be the next generation gaming yes consul like that's -- seems to be like what what there kind of go for Microsoft wants to. So -- wireless adapters."

" Get out there and -- it's like I only know how to describe it because it's like. It's been I guess it's in a way it's PC mentality right yeah you bite that. Box you know -- by the computer it doesn't do any that's something you can you see it -- what it. And is adamant -- yes three everything's right there love it so I hope."

" We we've managed to really really infuriate the each a fan boy and and all of the granted all loyalist across across the board and also validate. The rest of you. Now outwards BC news segment this week where I spend just a minute talking about something that is important to me that I think is important to nerds everywhere. This is the inaugural segment. Just a minute."

" Wow wow --"

" Thank commercial broadcast radio boring and repetitive like idea there's a great alternative Internet radio. We -- have songs recommended to you by pandora or share music with like minded friends like last or just -- strewn like groove salad -- secret agent from -- FM. The options are as wide as the Internet is filled with tubes. But there's a problem the recording industry want to stop all of that. The copyright royalty board at the behest of the recording industry and there will be collection service sound exchange has recently decided that there. Increase rates on Internet broadcasters to a point where they may not be referred to stand there. Now the recording industry claims that this is about protecting artists and making sure that everyone gets the money that they boot but that's a little."

" This is all about particular monopoly that has existed between the big -- publishers like universal BMG Sony."

" And -- we're broadcasters like clear channel and infinity. This isn't about making sure that artists get paid this is about making sure that people have the choice the choice to choose between commercial broadcast repetitive."

" Crack and independently produced Internet radio. We have a small chance to save Internet radio."

" The house and senate is considering a bill which would make Internet royalty rates to cool with those of satellite radio which is roof there. Website at in digital online dot com pop into the forms and look for post by me called save Internet radio -- information you need to contact your representatives would be there."

" There is a wonderful thing movie's fantastic we should all be good to listen to the things you. You wanna listen to not contains the recording industry is trying to cram down our throats. -- Again this is neat and and I think that --"

" According industry is trying very very hard to protect the monopoly that has existed for a long time you know like with -- and everything between a major record labels and very few companies controlled media. And they're scared that under rated and that's -- this luckily. The Internet radio organization has been. The -- radio producers have been tremendously. Organized. People from radio appearances on them. And a few other people have gone to Capitol Hill. There are a hundred co sponsors of HR 2260 which is a bill that Apple 2660. -- the numbers are being well it'll be in the form. But there are now a hundred -- in the house legislation that would make royalties for Internet radio. Equivalent to royalties -- there's a fake. -- going around sponsored surprisingly by the recording industry that would just sort of put this on for another year another two years -- to go to the whole thing again. But like I said segment. This is not -- fall about protecting artists this is not at all about making sure artists have. No money in their pocket it's about protecting monopoly experts consumers I think that there's."

" I I I remember watching this show -- it's not documentary -- news item about. The Grateful Dead dates these basic speech directly directories on this because. David did you get a dollar two dollars it is for this twenty dollars seen you buying -- like it's all marketing money which is basically slush fund. In the Cayman island somewhere -- yeah a lot a lot of."

" Artists you know artists pay for their own music videos and pay for their own promotions and a lot of this stuff is coming in their pockets so when artists tried to embrace their fans and give away music to their."

" Difference -- what difference I mean tape their shows and and really encourage them to it it."

" To participate -- the music expense and the labels freak out because they're like they're losing potential money and I've never in my life. Come across an organization. That so furiously. Fights its customers and so so like just link is so combative with -- its customers as he articulates to stoop. I wish it would go away that we can hear about dances like the actor. Like you're getting your figures to watch the no way yet there and looks awfully you know -- be really clear about this it's not like you buy the recording industry or you have a bunch of pirates there people in the little yet you know. And the recording industry needs to embrace the technology that list there members there artists reach out. And blind audience that today. CBS. Bought last. So they're just doing it to increase -- so obviously there are a few people are starting to realize hero opportunities to. Embrace the the audience that's a good thing they should absolutely not be driving out independent broadcasters. And homogenized music so that everything is the same top forty problems you know I turn off the radio to get away -- So I'll look more information four."

" And added all the show we got accidentally landing sponsors godaddy in course Netflix."

" Evening -- Thanks for watching things for downloading we will see you next but."

" This episode of in digital has brought you by Netflix get them delivered right to your front door and no more late fees. Senate but www. Netflix.com. Slash in digital and it two weeks --"
