I’ve been spending the last week playing World of Warcraft on my new Mitsubishi 60-inch TV, and moving music around the home. We’ll talk about the TV experience in a future post, but I’ve been covering products that pretend to move media around the home for some time, and most turn out to be really disappointing. The biggest problem, for some reason, is the concept of a “party mode.” This is when you have multiple speaker systems playing the same song. Your parents and grandparents likely could do this in audio systems they had in their homes, why is it so difficult for anyone else to make this work?

Nintendo To Offer Dual-Screen Game System
From information made available today, players can look forward to being able to manage their game progress from two different perspectives, enhancing both the speed and strategy of the challenge. For example in a soccer game, users can view the whole game on one screen while simultaneously focusing on an individual soccer player’s tackle or goal on the other screen.
Players will no longer be forced to interrupt game play to shift perspective, such as moving from a wide shot to a close up, or alternating between a character’s ongoing battle and a map of the environment. Nintendo DS makes it possible to perform the tasks in real time by simply glancing from one screen to the other.
