People have been raving about the PlayStation 3, the stunning graphics, the cell chip processor, the blue ray and its amazing capabilities.

Flashback 15 years ago. Capcom released Street Fighter II for arcades. Tecmo released Tecmo Super Bowl for NES, and Sega released Sonic the Hedgehog. Nintendo releases the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES).

The release of the 16 bit Sega Genesis in ‘89 created competition with Nintendo who was previously dominating the home console internet gaming market. However, in ‘91 SNES brought Nintendo ahead once again.

At this time Sony was nowhere to be found in the gaming industry. However, at this time Sony had seen the power of the video game consoles, and began quietly working on a console that would rival Nintendo and Sega as the best game console on the market at the time. The Sony PlayStation became the first ever game console to sell over 100 million game units in March of 2005. The Sony also had the capability to play audio CDs, as Sony refused to say it was strictly a game console. This trend continued as it released the PlayStation 2, and it became the fastest selling console, selling over 105 million copies between October 26th, 2000 and March 31, 2006. The PS2 had the capability to not only be backward compatible in playing PlayStation 1 games, but it also played music, as well as DVD movies.

Flash back to the present time and Microsoft has now entered as a major player introducing their 2nd game console the Xbox360, which followed the Xbox. And even though Nintendo didn’t have outside revenue from things such as stereos, computer software, home appliance and entertainment systems, they refused to be held back from being a major player in the game console market. They released the Nintendo Wii that will compete not only with the Xbox360, but was released in time for the Holidays to compete with the new PlayStation 3.

The PlayStation 3 is nothing short of amazing. The blu-ray drive makes it possible tor play ultra high density optical discs capable of storing digital media, including high definition video, allowing for some of the most stunning graphics you have ever seen. It also, comes with bluetooth wireless controller and most importantly the cell processing chip, the same chip used in some supercomputers.

According to wikipedia, during the Japan release on November 11th, 2006, the PlayStation3 sold 81,639 copies within the first 24 hours. It remains sold out and was found selling for as high as $15,000 on Ebay. If the 20 GB built in hard drive isn’t enough, the PS3 also comes in a premium version containing not only a 60 GB hard drive, but multiple flash card readers.

Will we see a PlayStation 4? Not only is the answer sooner then many people think, but according to Sony’s Ken Kutaragi, they plan on releasing it within the next decade.

“My dream, and the dream of all my team, hasn’t finished,” Kutaragi told the BBC recently. “In fact we haven’t achieved even half of what we’re going to do.”

“We want to lead with the PlayStation 3, and beyond that to the PlayStation 4 within the next decade.”

One can only speculate on what the future of PlayStation is going to bring. It’s hard to imagine it getting much better, but yet, every single release manages to innovate and exceed expectations. But one thing is for certain, they will always look to provide more for their hungry consumers, and they will continue to look for ways to improve technology beyond current capabilities.

As you will soon find out they offer a wide array of music, videos, movies, TV shows and games in their databases which will help to ensure that you get the maximum out of your Sony Play Station Portable.

The type of antenna you get for your TV will determine the number of channels you can receive and the quality of the picture. If you’re getting a new HDTV, you might need a new antenna, but not because the technology is different: all HDTV broadcasts are in the UHF spectrum, so any UHF antenna will do an adequate job. The real reason to get a new antenna is that there will be many more channels available, clustered into narrower frequency widths, and you might simply need a bigger and higher quality antenna.

A good strategy for buying an antenna is simply to get the best and most capable antenna that is practical for your living situation. Let’s start at the top, and work our way down:

Roof- or attic-mounted outdoor UHF/HDTV antenna.

The higher you can mount your antenna, the more stations you will pull in, and the stronger they will be. If you are able to mount one on the very top of your house, do it. If neighborhood codes, landlord issues or weather concerns prevent that, the next best spot is the attic. Make sure it receives UHF, for the HDTV channels, and VHF for local channels.

One decision you’ll have to make here is whether to get a directional or omnidirectional TV antenna. Your choice will depend on the location and strength of the area TV transmitters. If they are all clustered in a small area, like a nearby mountaintop, a directional antenna can be pointed in that direction and will give you the best signals. If you live halfway between two urban areas, an omnidirectional antenna will be necessary to get signals from transmitters in different directions. The easiest way to make this decision is to visit antennaweb.org, type in your address, and you’ll find out which type and size antenna will be necessary.

Amplified indoor antenna.

If you can’t put an antenna of the roof, or you just can’t afford the cost of an outdoor antenna, an amplified indoor antenna is the next best choice. It uses an electric current to strengthen the signal, enhancing weak channels that you might not get with a regular antenna. The only problem with an amplified antenna is that they sometimes amplify noise along with the signal, so they could make some channels worse.

Non-amplified indoor antenna.

A simple “rabbit ears” antenna is the least powerful option, but in many cases it is all you need. If you live in an urban area or near a transmitter, or you simply don’t want to put a lot of money into an antenna, this is your best choice.

Another thing to consider is the switch from analog to digital broadcasts that the FCC has mandated for February, 2009. If you only have a VHF antenna, but you wish to receive digital broadcasts, you will need a new antenna. You can learn more about antennas and HDTV in general at helpful HDTV info websites.

Is 720p vs 1080i worth being concerned about? Yes and no. If you’re a consumer looking for a new TV, you can happily ignore the 720p vs 1080i debate because every TV which is described as HDTV or HDTV Ready is required to support both formats.

NOTE: You should be aware though that lots of TVs which support 1080i have fewer than 1080 lines and so scale the 1080 signal down. That’s not a huge issue as even scaled down 1080i is far ahead of a regular NTSC signal. It is worth bearing in mind that more expensive HDTVs tend to have better scalers than cheaper ones, and this may be an issue.

However, for broadcasters it’s a live issue. Should they broadcast 1080 lines of interlaced video or 720 lines of progressive scan? They could just broadcast two signals, one in each format, but that would use up a huge chunk of bandwidth and be hugely expensive for very little gain.

To answer the question, it’s important to understand the difference between 720p vs 1080i. A 720p signal is made up of 720 horizontal lines. Each frame is displayed in its entirety on-screen for 1/30th of a second. This is know as progressive scan (hence the ‘p’)The quality is like watching 30 photographic images a second on TV. A 1080i signal comprises 1080 horizontal lines but all the lines are not displayed on-screen simultaneously. Instead, they are interlaced (hence the ‘i’), ie every other lines is displayed for 1/60th of a second and then the alternate lines are displayed for 1/60th of a second. So, the frame rate is still 30 frames per second, but each frame is split into two fields, which your brain then puts together subconsciously.

Most of the time interlacing works fine, but for fast moving images, such as sports like baseball and hockey it can cause problems which manifest themselves as a ’stepping’ effect on-screen. Progressive scan signals don’t have this problem and so are better suited to sports.

ESPN puts it like this: ‘Progressive scan technology produces better images for the fast moving orientation of sports television. Simply put, with 104 mph fastballs in baseball and 120 mph shots on goal in hockey, the line-by-line basis of progressive scan technology better captures the inherent fast action of sports. For ESPN, progressive scan technology makes perfect sense.’

Bottom line? For us, as consumers 720p vs 1080i is not a debate worth worrying about, so you can relax and focus on all the other criteria on your list when you buy your next HDTV.

While the PSP Go has many advantages, plenty of people were upset because it lacked the UMD support of the previous PSP generations. Testing the console however, ensured that people forgot their objections to the new console.

Below are some of the reasons why you should be interested in this console.

1. Sleek and sexy design

The PSP Go comes with a great look, so you will get a gaming gadget that is state of the art, while looking sophisticated and stylish.

Since it’s both lighter (by 16%) and smaller (33% smaller) than the PSP 3000, you can easily keep it in your pocket. There is no other gaming console this portable and versatile on the market today. One of the things I like about it is the slide mechanism, which looks pretty cool, making it fun to close and open the device.

2. Plenty of gaming features to enjoy

Even though it’s a small console, it doesn’t mean that the Go isn’t powerful. It comes with plenty of internal storage, USB connection, Bluetooth and other options when it comes to multimedia. You have the choice to view photos, videos, do some Internet browsing or playing some music. You can even use it to talk over Skype, since it has its own microphone.

Ultimately, it’s the gaming experience that matters, and this is where the PSP Go shines. It has a larger screen, with improved graphics, so it’s a clear advantage in this department. It also has a better sound system, so you get a better sound, even when you don’t have the headphones on. One option that I enjoy is pausing games, which makes it easy to play when you only have a couple of minutes.

3. The system is 100% portable

You don’t have to carry UMD discs with you anymore. All the content on the PSP Go is digital now, so UMD discs are a thing of the past.

You can choose one of the many games available in Sony’s store, in digital format, which is the way games will be installed in the future as well.

The Sony PlayStation Portable is probably the best portable gaming console available to buy today. It had a great success and even though some people didn’t like the lack of UMD discs, they are starting to be fans of the digital content which can be downloaded from Sony’s store. Buying a PSP Go gives you a great gaming experience, considerably improved over the previous generations of PSP’s.

If you’re still buying all your Wii Games from the local video games shop, stop! These days it’s a lot simpler to download everything you need online. Download games, music, TV shows, movies, software and more instantly!

There are a lot of websites that offer these services but some are a lot better than others and like everything else on the internet there are a ton of scams. When choosing a site to use there are a few rules you can follow to make sure your choosing a decent service.

Firstly, as tempting as it is, don’t use free ‘torrent’ sites, downloads usually aren’t moderated and contain loads of viruses and spyware so try to avoid this. The best sites only charge a small one time fee (usually less than the price of one Wii game anyway) and you can get access to there database of games for life.

Secondly, make sure you choose a service that has all forms of media, not only games. The best sites have music, movies and TV shows as well as all the latest Wii games. Also make sure that the site boasts fast download speeds, there’s nothing worse than waiting days for a movie to download! Most sites offer a money back guarantee but you need to check for this just in case you’re not happy with the service. Also make sure the site has customer support (usually 24/7) just in case you need any questions answered or problems sorted out.

With so many new innovations in televisions today, it’s hard to keep up with all of the popular technologies. Each of these technologies have advantages and disadvantages. It can be confusing as to what these technologies mean and if you really want or need what they have to offer. There are many people who have a wonderful understanding of all of this, but to the vast majority of us this is almost like mastering a new language. Many of us remember how easy it once was to buy a television. In the past, all you needed to consider was the size of the screen and if you could afford it. Technology has its advantages because the picture and sound quality have advanced dramatically in recent years and continues to advance, along with the addition of numerous new features. This article is the result of quite a bit of research. In this article, I have attempted to put in the most basic terms what these technologies are and how they differ from each other. It is my hope that with this information you will be able to make a better decision about which TV is best for you.

LCD, Plasma and DLP are the most popular technologies behind displaying pictures on HDTV today. Every shopper buying a TV today needs to know what these terms mean in order to make an intelligent decision about the best TV to buy.

What is LCD? LCD stands for Liquid Crystal Display. There is alot of technical jargon out there that explains the science behind this in very exacting and complex concepts. For the purpose of purchasing a TV, all you need to know is that it uses the type of LCD TV, a viscous liquid and a mesh size of transistors per pixel and is turned off. Direct-view and projection TV both use this technology in both LCD and require light to produce light.

What are the advantages of LCD televisions?

(1) Low energy consumption. LCD TVs use very small amounts of power.
(2) Cooler running temperature. The light source(florescent bulb) in an LCD television generates less heat than a Plasma or traditional television.

(3) Low amounts of glare.

(4) Quality LCDs have excellent brightness level pictures and offer more contrast. Compared to Plasma TVs, LCD TVs have an increased image brightness.

(5) LCD flat panels can be mounted on walls and don’t take up much room. They are typically slightly lighter than Plasma TVs.

(6) Fairly long display life. The display life of quality LCDs is approximately 60,000 hours, after which you may only have to replace the light source.

What are the disadvantages of LCD TVs?

(1) LCDs are not good for fast moving images because when objects move quickly across the screen, the image “delays” and has a tail following it on the screen when it shouldn’t. There are two ways to avoid this issue. By purchasing LCDs that are 37″ or smaller you will have a better image quality since the delay is less noticeable than on the larger LCD TVs. Another way is to buy a 120hz LCD, but those models are higher in price than the 60hz models.

(2) LCD reviews indicate that brightness levels aren’t as good as Plasma. Although black levels have improved, they also are still not quite up to the level of Plasma.

(3) The viewing angle of an LCD is not as good as a Plasma. If you are watching an LCD from a slanted view, the quality of the image can diminish. However, this difference between LCD and Plasma is not that significant.

(4) LCD TVs over 35″ are very expensive.

What is plasma? Sometimes HDTV flat-panel screens are known as plasma. This is a misnomer. plasma screens have more in common with cathode ray tube (CRT) LCD televisions. Points of specific plasma gas strike on the front of the TV and the pixel becomes a certain color. Backlight with plasma screens are not necessary because the plasma varies the intensity of light which then produces a wide range of colors, which usually have an advantage overLCDs because they have deeper blacks.

What are the advantages of Plasma TVs?

(1) Great life span. Typically, at an average use of six hours per day, they will last about 20 years.

(2) Better viewing angles. Unlike LCDs, a Plasma screen has about 180 degrees field of vision without loss of picture quality, so you can watch from any angle.

(3) Excellent contrast ratios which enable the Plasma TVs to show better shadow detail.

(4) Faster picture response. Plasma TVs have an excellent picture response. There is virtually no delay like LCDs.

(5) Like LCDs, Plasma TVs don’t take up too much space and can be mounted on a wall.

What are the disadvantages of Plasma TVs?

(1) Image burn-in. Plasma TVs are more susceptible to image burn-in of static images. If you were to leave the Plasma TV on for many hours, the network logo on the bottom right-hand corner of the screen would be burnt-in.

(2) Plasma TVs are not available under 37″.

(3) Shorter display lifespan than other types of TVs like LCDs. Simply by turning the brightness down, you can extend the display lifespan of the Plasma TV.

(4) Plasma TVs generate more heat than LCDs.

What is DLP? DLP stands for Digital Light Processing. DLP is a method using rear projection light which has taken the place of the old Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) technology. Unlike CRT, DLPs are relatively thin. Like LCD, a chip is used for the actual image to be displayed on, however, the chip used in a DLP TV is different. The chip is referred to as a DMD (Digital Micromirror Device). If you’re not confused already, to simplify this, every pixel on a DMD chip is a reflective mirror.

What are the advantages of DLP TVs?

(1) DLP TVs are cheaper than LCDs or Plasma TVs.

(2) DLP TVs have a good variety of sets in very large sizes.

(3) Excellent brightness and color.

What are the disadvantages of DLP TVs?

(1) High maintenance cost. With DLP TVs you have to replace the projection bulb which has a limited durability. Not only can these be expensive, but they can also be hard to find.

(2) Not wall mountable. DLP TVs take up more space than LCD TVs and Plasma TVs.

(3) Poor field of vision. As with LCDs, when viewed on an angle the picture quality suffers.

(4) Poor picture quality. The picture quality does not compare to LCD TVs and Plasma TVs.

(5) Image blur. With DLP TVs scenes of fast action can cause a trail of colors.

Ultimately, what TV you decide to buy depends upon what your needs are and your personal situation. Only you can decide what is best for you and your household, but it is always best to be informed regarding what your options are.
