I brought in some information on the Nintendo Wii, the newest console that they're about to release in November. I think it's really interesting how closely video game consoles are to being like computers these days, with the ability to link up to the internet and play with other people. I think video game companies might be trying to interest people who are mostly online gamers because of the popularity of the interactive aspect. THe controller is also really cool and different, called a Wii-mote and looks like a remote control for a TV. It can be used like the instrument in the game, i.e. sword, tennis racket, etc. I think this opens up possibilities for gameplay that have never been experienced before. It's also interesting because it uses Bluetooth technology. The Wii has various channels, like internet channel, forecast channel, you can store pictures on it, watch the news, etc. http://www.wii.com/en_US/
