The new age of gaming: Motion Sensors... but who wins Xbox360 or PS3?

So E3 the video game conference that all nerds dream about someday going to, and look forward to reading about just ended this year. I being one of those video game nerds just got a tip from Justin to check out the new things the game companies have in store for us "gaming gurus." One major thing that caught my eye was Sony's big announcement on a motion sensor controller similar to Nintendo's Wii system. Later I found Xbox had a similar invention in mind but instead intend to use no controller and just read your body movement. In addition, the Xbox version will scan actual objects, provide video chat, and a lot of new features. The real question will be how accurate and well do these things perform? Sure it looks great in these clips but we all know that in real life they won't turn out as great... I guess time will tell.

But from what you see here, which one looks cooler to you? Xbox 360 or PS3 version of Motion Gaming.

New Toys!!

So Christmas in April came a few weeks ago (IE: Tax Return season). I got a pretty generous return this year so I decided to treat myself to some new toys... Got me a sexy Nikon D40 DSLR camera with 2 lenses; a 18-55mm lens and a 55-200mm VR lens. I can't wait to use it!!


Another pretty little thing I got was this 8" dell Mini 9 that was transformed into a "mini mac." (Running off a Mac OSX operating system). Big Props to Justin for making this little beauty for me. I'll be replacing this as my on-the-go system when I'm on the road for everyday uses, and give my mom my old laptop (unit on the right). You can tell how small the mini9 is from the first and last picture, I love it!

iPhone

So.... I have further proven to increase my impulse decision making traits and purchased an iPhone this weekend. This makes the 4th phone in 4 consecutive years that I have purchased on impulse right before I came home to Hawaii during Christmas break. Last year, I started a new phone plan just to get the blackberry before my old plan ended...this year was just as bad, I renewed my 2 year plan and paid double for the phone. Curse my bad impulse habits! Curse you!!

But... for now.... all hail the iPhone!
