Show 047 -  04.23.07 -  The one where we are back...again...for the very first time.

1. Blue Ray Has passed the 1,000,000 mark for discs sold, in under one year. Home Media Research's sales figures show that Blu-Ray discs accounted for 70% of the High Def movies sold during the first quarter of this year and that nearly three out of every four HD movies sold in March were Blu-Ray. Ta-da! Ta-Da! How do you like me now!? --Mark

2. It's the first show of the week and so that means it's Virtual Console, Xbox Live and Playstation Network Arcade Extravaganza time! The Wii makes it's 3 game offering with Gradius III, wonder boy in Monster World and Battle Lode Runner. Gradius 3 is a 1 or 2 player SNES shooter and goes for 800 Wii points, Wonder Boy is an old timey Genesis platformer, 1 player and 600 points and Battle Lode Runner is from the Turbo Grafx 1-5 players and 600 wii points. On the Microsoft side they've been cranking out the arcadeyness here the past few weeks and doubled production by 50%! So now instead of 1 Live game a week....it's 2! This week on Wednesday we will see Eets Chowdown and FX Pinball. Eets is a 2d whacked out platformer with a bizarre sense of humor and FX pinball is a snazzy looking pinball simulator that conforms to novices and pro's alike. As with most Pinball games that release it is taunting never before realized ball physics and table mechanics but unlike the others there is a cool bonus for Xbox Vision camera owners: You will be able to use your camera in the Pinball games to controll the flippers....using your hands....please. Both games will retail for 800MSpoints or 10 real dollars. Mark...any Ps network games?--YJ

3. Haoshokoken FTW!!!! SNK's Art of Fighting Anthology is making its way to the PSP and the Wii, as spotted on the ESRB ratings website this weekend. Collecting ALL of the Art of Fighting games, including characters such as Terry Bogard, Geese Howard, Kim Khap Whan, Yuri, Takuma, Mai Bouncy and the rest of the art of fighting gang; if you're a 2-d fighter fan, then you will want to go prereserve these, today! --Mark

5. 1.7 firmware is out for the PS3, allowing ps3 users to download and play PSOne titles for the PSP on their PS3... except that it doesn't work. New updated versions of the games will be replacing the ones currently available online in May; and will be free of charge to individuals who have already purchased them. No word from Sony whether the multiplayer functionality will be re-enabled. --Mark

7. Sony Europe confirmed some more details about Singstar, the karaoke/myspace hybrid game that will do a shang tsung fatality to my pocketbook and my soul. Sony let slip that the game will come with 30 licensed tracks and videos from Gwen Stefani, OutKats, Colplay, Pussycat Dolls, Razorlight and Wolfmother; and will have more than 300 tracks from the previous ps2 titles available for download on launch. New tracks and ps3 content will be added on a monthly basis starting in June, when it looks that the game will be released. Also announced are playlists (80's hair band night comes to mind), and that you can use ps2 mics (as anyone who has them already knows) but also that wireless mics are on the way. Schweet!--Mark
