I just got back from a week trip to the U.S.A. I miss living in my country. But at least I brought some goodies back with me...
Zune
I finally got my long-awaited Zune 80 and I'm more than satisfied. I actually bought the Red Zune 80 for myself and my wife. After doing much research on it, having it in hand looks much better than all those YouTube videos I watched over and over again. And the Zune Marketplace, like the Xbox 360 Marketplace, is a fantastic and enjoyable software to work with all made with Flash (It has that flawless, bubbly feel). My wife has one because she loves to listen to music throughout the day, which means I also get a chance to experience many of Zune sharing features like transferring songs, video podcasts, etc. It worked flawlessly. I can even sync my Zune with my PC wirelessly, yep. I also downloaded several XNA Zune Games for free made with the XNA Game Studio 3.0 CTP (community) release. Some of the games I downloaded are multiplayer, so my wife and I lay and bed and battle each other wirelessly using our Zunes all the while listening to our favorite tracks in the background and sounds effects of the game.
Wii Fit
I've also stocked up on some new Wii games (Boom Blox, Metroid, Mario Kart, Zelda, etc) and I was lucky enough to get a Wii Fit. Big thanks to my older brother for working his special channels to get me one which are still on a very limited bases. The kids just love to play on the Wii Fit. My top three games on the Wii Fit are hula-hoop, the marble madness looking balance game, and the soccer head-butt game. Definitely fun.
Cam-Trax
Speaking of fun peripherals like the Wii Fit and Wii Zapper (with Zelda), someone shared a great video of a team of folks who uses Image Recognition to turn almost any type of object into a game controller. Even a soda bottle. I've embedded the video below.
