Price
: $750 – $800

Digital Single-Lens Reflex (DSLR) cameras are becoming very popular as of late. It’s probably because of how digital photography has made the camera industry boom but mainly it’s for five reasons: (1) DSLRs like the XSi are no longer huge and now come in compact sizes, (2) they offer lens upgrades much more and better manual and custom controls than standard point & shoots, (3) they now are made easier for amateurs (AKA n00bs), Read more »

Daddy brought home a Nintendo Wii from work and we were glad he was able to get a hold of one. As of this post’s date, April 2008, they’re still hard to get a hold of. But, alhumdulillah, one of Daddy’s fellow employee’s daughter works at Target and hooked it up (with a 10% discount, too).

Anywho, if you know me, I’m a stickler for audio/video. So before buying any game, controller, or even the internet browser, I had to get my hands on component cables for the Wii, much to Waasiq’s dismay.

Component cables are high quality video cables used for high quality video feeds. You know how for standard A/V cables you have one for video (yellow) and two for audio (white and red)? Well with component cables, you have three cables for video, giving you much higher quality.

So I figured component cables will cost around $40, and that’s something I’m down to pay for, even if we only have Wii Sports and one controller (geeks’ priorities, sorry!).

But before I ran to the closest Best Buy Read more »

Motion Tracking for Nintendo Wii – Sweet Modification

February 26th, 2008  Posted in Gaming

This is awesome! The Nintendo Wii was already amazing, but with this it can make its one-player gaming a “revolution” forreal. Imagine an FPS like Metroid Prime or even Metal Gear Solid type games, or even Mario adventure titles with this kinda technology! You literally move out of the way and it’d look like you’re moving out of the way, not just moving your body from a 2D image.

Confused? Watch the video and see for yourself! This is making me want to get a Wii more and more (don’t hold your breath, Waasiq). Video found from MR.
