Nintendo DSi Review

With the launch of the new Nintendo DSi, a lot of DS and DS Lite owners might be wondering whether or not it would be a step forward to switch to the new Nintendo DSi or not. So to stop all of the wondering, here are some of the new features in the Nintendo DSi that might get you to switch.
The DSi now has an audio player and recorder, two cameras (apparently one isn’t enough), Wi-Fi and a dedicated memory slot, an improved ergonomics and design, and an SD slot.
As you may well be aware of, the biggest weakness of the Nintendo DS was the absence of an SD slot, but now with the DSi, you will be able to download games, pictures, store music and movies, and basically do a whole lot more compared to the DS.
The cameras of the DSi are just VGA but it takes a decent quality of picture, and is good enough if you’re going to be chatting or video conferencing. With DSi you could also play with the pictures you took. There are a lot of crazy and fun settings for your pictures. The audio player also has great settings. You can adjust the pitch and speed, and add effects to recordings like echoes, instrumental only, an 8-bit tunes.
With a ton of new features, and a buttoned down look for a more sleek and user-friendly slots and buttons, the Nintendo DSi is worth switching over to from a DS or DS Lite.

Take the Next Step and Upgrade to Blu Ray
If you’re one of the many people within the United Kingdom who love all the new high tech, high definition gadgets and toys available in your local electronics store, you’re most likely aware of all the new toys around the corner. It’s most likely you’ve already got your hands on an HD Television, a HD recorder and HD video camera to see your home videos in all the coloured glory possible.
However if you’re still playing host to a DVD player there is one aspect that you’re missing out on when it comes to getting the most out of your High Definition gizmos, and that’s the up to date technology of Blu Ray Disks. So named after the blueish violet laser that is used to play and record these discs, the Blu Ray is the latest and greatest when it comes to recorded media.
The picture quality, sound quality and storage space available to these discs is ten fold compared to your bog standard DVD, and at the moment it is literally impossible to get a better quality experience out of your High Definition equipment than with a Blu Ray disc.
In effort to begin the mass swap from DVD to Blu Ray many Blu Ray DVD players have been dramatically reduced in price before Christmas in order to be available to more people during the recession. You can easily pick up a high end quality Blu Ray player for a hundred and fifty pounds, and the Discs themselves are around twenty pounds each. For the few pounds more (Most DVD’s retail between fifteen and eighteen pounds now) you receive a clearer than clear quality picture and outstanding sound quality.
Blu Ray’s large storage space allows for more than behind the scenes movie extras too. You will most likely find ring tones, music tracks, lengthily documentaries and even the ability to connect to the internet and discuss the movie online with other and offer reviews!
Overall, the Blu Ray DVD’s are matter of fact better quality than your standard DVD, so if you’re looking to treat yourself for Christmas this could be the ideal solution!
