Meanwhile, a classic Virtual Console™ game invites you to assume the role of a certain adventurous hedgehog. With diverse releases like these, players of all stripes are sure to find something they'll love.

Nintendo adds new and classic games to the Wii Shop Channel at 9 a.m. Pacific time every Monday. Wii owners with a high-speed Internet connection can redeem Wii Points™ to download the games. Wii Points can be purchased in the Wii Shop Channel or at retail outlets. This week's new games are:

WiiWare

Snowboard Riot™ (Hudson Entertainment, 1-4 players, Rated E for Everyone-Mild Fantasy Violence, 1,000 Wii Points): This snowboard racing and battle game can be enjoyed by multiple players and is compatible with the Wii Balance Board™ accessory. In an intense scramble for first place, guide your character down the slopes while snatching up items to attack and defend against rivals along the way. Up to four players can battle and participate in various ranking modes via Nintendo® Wi-Fi Connection.

LONPOS (Nintendo, 1-4 players, Rated E for Everyone, 800 Wii Points): Looking for a puzzle game that anyone can play, but still offers plenty to master? Look no further than LONPOS, with its straightforward premise and large variety of puzzles to solve. Each puzzle revolves around a rectangular playing field of 55 spaces. Using a set of 12 pieces, the goal is to place every piece into the playing field, filling it completely. The higher the level, the more pieces you'll need to fit correctly into the playing field. Challenge yourself with two single-player modes or bring a friend to compete against or cooperate with. When you think your skills are worthy, use Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection to check out how you compare with other LONPOS players or download additional puzzles and backgrounds. (Router and broadband access required for online play. For more info, go to www.nintendo.com.)

Virtual Console

Sonic Chaos™ (SEGA MASTER SYSTEM, 1 player, Rated E for Everyone, 500 Wii Points): Play as Sonic or Tails in Sonic Chaos, which was originally made for the SEGA MASTER SYSTEM. Dr. Eggman (a.k.a. Dr. Robotnik) has stolen the Red Chaos Emerald to create nuclear weapons. This has thrown the remaining Chaos Emeralds off balance, causing them to transport to a parallel universe. As a result, Sonic's home, South Island, is sinking into the ocean. Speed through various levels in your crusade for the six Chaos Emeralds. Perform Strike Dashes and Super-Peel Outs as Sonic, or Spin Dash and Fly as Tails, and restore order in Sonic Chaos.

[quote name='oscargrouch']Maybe In the Movies?[/QUOTE]

[quote name='joshnorm']Scene It: BOS

that or Petz: Moivez[/QUOTE]

The "And More" Is what makes me think it's a PS3. It also uses plurals, video gameS, movieS.
 
[quote name='chrishuff1']could also be a xbox...i mean that plays movies and games too[/QUOTE]

True, but a major selling point of the PS3 is the Blu-Ray, while the 360's DVD player is more like something to add on to the pile of pros.

It's like if I was hinting to a car, I wouldn't say "Air conditioning and Cup Holders!"
 
lol idd it is a TV

People come into my dorm all the time and say, "Wow, that's an awesome TV! What is it, like 32 inches?" It's 27", but in the small space of a dorm room, it's friggin' huge.
 
[quote name='edwardya']yeah, 26 inches isnt that big.[/QUOTE]

That's what she said.

I just have to.

Anyways, I can get a 32" LCD TV at my Essex Outlet store for $350...I might as well get it today.
 
[quote name='VipFREAK']I have a 28" and it's 1080p...[/QUOTE]

Paying the extra for 1080p on a 28" tv is one of the more stupid things I've heard of. A tv that small doesn't take advantage of the 1080p resolution at all. You got hosed.
 
This would make an awesome TV in a kids room, or in the kitchen for those that do that (not I). Imagine the freedom of the living room television and putting your kids in their room with their own 26". Good price too.

For a main TV this won't do though.

And if you're my grandfather you'll buy 3 just to have in the main room with the 50"...going into his house is like walking into the TV sales department in department stores.
