I’m taking a break from blogging about laptops, USB devices and PDAs to bring you this video game ad from Nintendo. It looks like yet another gimmicky motion game for the Wii. I’m sure it isn’t nearly as fun as the commercial makes it seem. At least they know how to make their games look like they’re fun. I have to say that I was very disappointed in the Wii.

This is just cruel and unusual. The Video GameDR Just cuts the power to your kid’s video game system. I hope it gives them a warning beep or something so that they have time to save. I would be really upset if I didn’t get to save my progress.

Instead of this, why not get your kids a toy that you approve of them playing with for hours on end. Wii Fit is probably better than the best diet pills out there, and you only have to buy it once. I’m just sayin’.

The transformers flash drive is really cool. Too bad it doesn’t go on sale until September 2009. My source says that it turns into a car as well as the big cat and flash drive you see in the picture. Even if it doesn’t turn into a car, it really is freeking cool. Too bad it only stores to GB of data and costs just under $50. Sounds like it’s nearly obsolete already.
