Amazon has the DJ Hero Game with Turntable for a rock bottom price. It’s $119.99 & #8211; $35.04 instant savings + free shipping = $84.95 shipped! How this bundle got so cheap so quick is beyo nd me. Either it’s selling like gang busters and Activision wants to strike while the iron is hot, or vendors have significant lead way when it comes to the advertised price – I’m going with the latter. I don’t know how long this deal will last so I suggest you buy now and return later, t hat is assuming you don’t like it.

Nintendo Wii has lion’s portion of female comfort gamers

admin — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 01:26:59 +0000

Nintendo’s been doing a bit of digging and it tur ns out it’s already won the console wars. If we’re only talking about the ladies, that is. A whopping 80% of American female primary gamers (the person who primarily uses the co nsole rather than the occasional dabblers) do their thing on the Wii, which we see as a clear indication to the graphics-obsessed Xbox 360 and PS3 developers that women prefer their gam es to be fun to play, rather than just look at. Maybe if we also stopped dressing female characters in swimsuits, they’d find non-Wii games relatable too — that’s just a guess though, probably wrong.
