Frustrations

A frustration that will occur will be the problem with time. As a pre-IB student my life is compressed with other projects from other subjects that I undertake. I do my best to complete all assignments given. The three weeks that was given to us may not be enough because of our knowledge of technology could be too novice. The procedure includes transfering the video to a DvD disc then we'll have to include text overlays.
Another frustration might be that my partner may also might not have enough time to collaborate with me. Google docs is a good way of communicating and doing work with each other but he might not enough have enough time to enter and collaborate over the internet. The whole project depends on the participation of each group member which keeps the project held back

Nintendo Wii vs. Xbox 360 vs. Playstation 3

The playstation 3 was released November 17, 2006. Two versions were released which were a 20GB selling for $499 and a 60GB selling for $599 in the U.S. The 60GB is equiped with a Blu-ray disc player which cost $1000 by itself because of it's high-def technology. Its controller is the basic Dualshock controller but with added features such as wireless and motion sensors although its vibration feature is removed because it might interfere with the motion sensors.
The Xbox 360 was release long before the PS3 and Nintendo Wii. It has online characteristics which compliment the game Halo which is a widely played game across the world. Instead of a Blu-ray player it uses a HD DvD player.
The Nintendo Wii has a wireless controller just like the PS3 although the controller its much more interactive rather than the Dualshock controller. It also includes attachments that increases its interactivity. The Wii is considered the most interactive game among the current consoles. It makes up for its relatively poor use of graphics. It shows how the Nintendo incorperates the consumer but fails to include an image among the television which many consumers are affected by. The size of the wii makes it portable and is the smallest console out of the PS3 and Xbox 360.

Online SOCOM 3


Lately I've been playing on the PS2 console. I've been on SOCOM3 and it's pretty exciting. I've borrowed my friends headset so I'm able to communicate with other people. Unfortunately, not many people choose to rank the game so therefore I'm unscored but if I was I would guess I'm around average. If I really delve into SOCOM3 I just might own the game. I recommend SOCOM3 for all action packed online players. Its graphics, sounds, and gameplay are extra-ordinary. This game is packed with many other features so get playing.
