New PlayStation 3 Attempts To Compete With Nintendo Wii

The Nintendo Wii, aside from being an amazing gaming machine with excellent mulitmedia capabilities, has been a sales phenomenon worldwide, and has blown the other other new generations out of the water. With its revolutionary control system, amazing games library and affordable price, it's hardly a surprise.

This has led the other console makers to pull out all the stops to try to compete with Nintendo's gaming giant. In many cases, its almost pathetic the lengths the other companies will go to try to compete. Here's Sony's latest attempt to compete with the Wii.

After being dominated in sales by the phenomenal success of Nintendo's Wii console, Sony is releasing a crippled version of their PS3 console at a cheaper price point in order to compete with Nintendo's sales juggernaut.

The new iteration of the Playstation 3, which will feature a smaller hard drive, less USB ports and the reverse compatibility removed (which means no playing PS2 or PS1 games), will be released at a cheaper price point in the hopes of better competing with the more affordable Wii.

The new Playstation 3 will retail for around $400, which is still costlier than the Wii, but Sony will re-emphasise the PS3's realistic graphics and power chip to justify the price gap. Does it sound to anyone else like Sony is grasping at straws here? I can see the ad now: "In addition to having no decent games, the new PS3 has 50% less features than the old one! Buy the new PlayStation 3... please? We're dyin' over here!"

Seth Gecko is a Nintendo fan from way back, and loves his Wii in a way that is slightly unnatural.

Why Bundle Wii? Nintendo Wii A Sure Hit For The Holidays

As a middle-aged father of 1, I have recently been exposed to Nintendo Wii for the first time, by my 14 year old daughter. Her mom had bought it for her last week, and I am sure it cost a bundle. Wii is the latest and greatest video game console from Nintendo. Wii is also, possibly the most important development in the history of the home video game console, because of it's potential to cause us to exercise.

Stores that bundle Wii consoles with activity-based Nintendo Wii games, could very well be adding to the activity deficiencies of the kids they are bought for this Christmas for the first time ever! Nintendo Wii has the potential to capture the attention of multiple generations of families at once, but needs to be sold in a bundle. Wii is the first video game technology, with the potential to make us sweat sufficiently to classify it as excercise.

That is amazing! And as far as issues with obesity and inactivity with kids and their health it will save our health system a bundle. Wii video consoles will hopefully be under the trees of chubby couch potatoes of all ages this Christmas.

I was rather unimpressed with the Nintendo Wii initially, but after half an hour I was hooked, I just wish she had rented the game bundle , as I could have played all night. The entire console does not cost a bundle, Wii should pay for itself just in the added activity you will gain from it.

The active-play phenomenon originated by Wii Sports today fans out to the entire body thanks to the pressure-sensitive Wii Balance Board if that what the name ends up as, which comes as a bundle - Wii Fit.

The board is utilised for a comprehensive range of exciting and energetic activities, including aerobic exercise, yoga, muscle stretchings and games. A lot of of these actions center on allowing for a "core" workout, a common workout technique that emphasises slower, controlled motions. The whole family can have fun while remaining active and discussing and comparing their results and advancement with this exciting new Wii bundle.

Santiniketan - The Home of Rabindranath Tagore

On your visit to Santiniketan you will notice yourself drawn to a place called the asrham that comprises all that Kabi Guru (Lord of Poets) Rabindranath Tagore had established.

Approximately 200 Kilometres North of Kolkata, Santiniketan is connected by road and rail. The nearest railway station is Bolpur.

Santiniketan means "abode of peace". In 1863, a meditation center was founded at Santiniketan by Maharshi Debendranath Tagore, the father of the world famous bengali poet Rabindranath Tagore. He had established the Brahmo Vidyalaya and in 1901 another open-air laboratory school. In 1921, it had expanded into Visva-Bharati University. Visva-Bharati is a residential university with International body, hostels and extensive grounds. It includes separate colleges for fine arts and crafts, dance, music, teachers training, Asian Languages, technology, post graduate studies and research. "Rabindra-Sadhana" is the university's museum and the center for the study of Tagore. There is another institution for rural reconstruction, health, social welfare, and the revival of the folk arts at Sriniketan , which is very close to Santiniketan. This institution also founded by Tagore in 1922.

Santiniketan is the embodiment of serenity and peace, far removed from the concrete jungle. Here imposing sculptures of Ram Kinkar greet you at every turn of the road. Paintings of Nandalal, Abanindranath and Binod Bihari captivate your senses.

Uttarayan is the complex where Rabindranath lived, has a museum and art gallery.

Visva Bharati University is the University at Santiniketan, 2 km from the nearest railway station Bolpur, is now a centre of international studies and culture. The university is also open to visitors.

Sriniketan, a centre for traditional handicrafts like batik (on leather, cloth and silk), pottery, weaving kantha embroidery and dokra tribal handicrafts is situated three kilometers from Santiniketan.

His residence, a prayer hall for the community, the school, the university, and various areas for cultural activities.

The Ashram area represents the encouragement and belief of Tagore even though it seems overshadowed by the university.

A visitor usually takes cycle rickshaw rides in and around the area. What would draw your attention would be boards that say Heritage Complex. Although the saddened state of the buildings do not have the basic paint jobs done and doesn't fit with the image of a heritage complex, you would not really mind it.

There are plenty of places to stay in Santiniketan. On reaching there, be sure to ask any of the locals. People all over Bengal are known for giving good directions.

Long live Santiniketan, long live Tagore.
