Sony’s continual upgrades help the PS3 constantly evolve, bringing new functionality, including enhanced online game play, offering support for the latest in Blu-ray features, and adding access to downloadable videos and music.

I actually bought the PS3 in order to receive a 24 month, interest free loan to buy a LARGE screen Panasonic Plasma HDTV from Circuit City. In order to get this promotion you had to spend $999.99. The TV was only 799.99 so I had to come up with at least $200.00 more in purchases. After hearing the salesperson’s spiel on several options to enhance my TV experience, the only SMART (no brainer) option was the PS3 with all the above benefits. It was a little more than $200.00 but well worth the extra few dollars. Besides the beautiful system that can either sit horizontally or vertically next to your TV, this powerful machinery of hardware, software and networking is worth every penny.

Having trouble getting to the gym? Is a gym membership too expensive? Thanks to Nintendo, you can now work out at home with Wii Fit. Wii Fit is a video game that can be played with a Wii. Using the term “video game” does not justify what Wii Fit is capable of doing. While most video games are seen as making you a couch potato, the Wii Fit gets you out of your chair and into motion. The Wii Fit starts by doing a body test to determine your weight, BMI, balance, body control, and your overall physical health. After that you can start playing different games and doing different exercises that work to improve your strength, cardio, and balance. In my opinion, it is about time a fun way to exercise has emerged.

With the Wii Fit, you can exercise in the comfort of your own home while still getting a top-notch work out. Not only does working out at home decrease anxiety about working out in front of others, but it is also allows you to work out at any time of the day for as long as you would like. On top of that, the Wii Fit tracks your progress for you, so you are not left wondering if your exercising is paying off. When I say “paying off” I mean: Is it helping you to lose weight, stay in shape, or simply improve your daily energy? The Wii Fit is capable of all of these things and is a great way to work out when a hectic life does not allow exercise on a regular basis.

When I first tried the Wii Fit I was apprehensive as to how a video game could actually give me a real work out. Once I gave it a try and did my first work out, I was amazed as to how good I felt after. I was able to start with aerobics, then switch over to strengthening, and end with some yoga and balance games. After trying all of these things I was amazing as to how easy it was and how great the workouts were. After trying to Wii Fit I can confidently say sayonara to the gym, and hello to home workouts with Wii Fit.

I have a portable MP3 player that I’m pretty happy with. It holds a ton of music, and also stores some pictures and gives me alarms for calendar events. It’s pretty spiffy.

It also has some video playback. It can hold feature length movies, but the screen is so tiny (and scratched, my bad!) that it’s hard to watch anything. Having a pair of Vuzix iWear goggles really helps me get the most out of my portable video player. You plug the input source into the goggles (there are tons of adapters to let you plug virtually anything with a video output into the iWear) and settle in to watch the video fill your field of vision.

While watching, I never really got the impression that I was watching anything on a big screen. The screen was nicely sized and well lit, but I wasn’t mistaking the experience for watching a movie screen. All the same, it was a considerable step up from the normal portable watching I do.

It also worked well hooking up to my video game system, though it isn’t able to display high-def video input.

Set up was a snap. Just charge up the viewer and go to videotown. It took a few seconds for me to get comfortable, mostly because I wear the excessively blocky glasses associated with Johnny Depp and Ira Glass. Once I got the nose rests out of the way and discovered that the speakers aren’t designed to fit in your ears, I was off to the races. The battery life lasted long enough for me to get through a two hour movie with time to spare, and it recharges easily on any wall socket.

All in all, it’s a great product that’s pretty comfortable to wear for long periods and gives you a much better portable video experience.
