The PS3 and the Wii launched finally. For awhile now I've been saving up money to get myself a Playstation 3, but after watching some of the Wii Experiences at Nintendo's website for its new console, I made a quick decision to try, and get a Nintendo Wii. A lot of the extra money I had to purchase a Playstation 3 went to Christmas gifts for the family. But I still haven't found a store that carries the console. I work at Sears part-time and we did get some in stock. Of course first shipments were not available to associates. What a shame.
Anyway. I manage to use some of the extra money to purchase my sister one of Microsoft's new media players, the Zune. We only have the black and white one available. I wasn't sure if I should have purchased a video iPod or the Zune. But I think am pretty sure that she won't be disappointed. And after making sure the product wasn't a brick, I know it was a good purchase. The interface is much easier to navigate, and in my opinion better then the video iPod. Not to mention it has a larger screen to display your video. It comes with headphones, USB/Charger adapter, 14 day trial to Microsoft's Marketplace, and 30Gb worth of storage space. Hopefully the wi-fi function will be expanded upon; there is a lot of potential for that with the Zune. But the radio works fine, and has great sound quality.
I manage to change the registery in our computers so it recognizes the Zune as a external hard drive allowing my sister to put anything she wants on her media player. Kudos to me!
