Game Cheats
When I see my children and grandchildren sit in front of computer or television screens for hours on end, I wonder if this can be good for them. Although it seems to me it teaches them good hand to eye coordination.
I know some of the games are very violent but I’m not talking about the violent ones for Nintendo, Xbox or Playstations. That’s a whole new story.
Some of these children can’t sit for 30 minutes reading a book or doing their homework but put an Nintendo, Play station, Xbox or Wii control in their hands and they are there for hours
When my children were smaller I worried about them sitting too close to the television for hours, ruining their eyes. I guess that comes from not being raised with a television. We played outdoors, walked everywhere and invented ways to stay busy. Then along came Sony, Panasonic, Magnavox and RCA with televisions and houses being air conditioned and there went the outside play.
In this new age of electronics which seems to boggle the minds of us older generation, I wonder if we are not a little jealous. How much easier it would have been to run our businesses with cell phones and computers.
When I went online to www.wordtracker.com and put in the key words electronic games. I was appalled at what came up: People wanted cheat sheets for Nintendo, Xbox, Playstation2 and Wii games. The top ones were “ps 2 game cheats” with a count of 14602 hits in 24 hours, ‘game cheats for ps2’with 17042 hits in 24 hours, “playstation2 game cheats” with 4858 and “games cheat” with 3898 in 24 hours.
What is this teaching our children? I want to win but I don’t want to cheat doing it. Maybe the children of today don’t think this is cheating but just smart tactics since every one can copy the cheat sheets off the internet and all have the same advantage. Maybe it is not cheating and I am just over reacting. As I read thru one of the sheets it seemed complicated to remember all of this in a fast pace game. But on the bright side “games play” came in with 21377 in a 24 hour period, “play game” with 8078, “play games” with 4102 and “games” with 7949 in a 24 hour period.
I guess time will tell the effects of all these electronic video games, but one thing for sure it certainly keeps the brain dusted off and active.

You may think this is a joke but im absolutly serious, you can have a Wii-kend curtiousy of the Wii games console!!!!
This is not a new idea actually it has been done before on other hard to come by items and items that are cheaper abroad than they are here in the UK.
The Wii-kend idea has been going since the middle of last year, as far as i can make out, it may have been going on for longer than this.
It was my son who actually told me about it when he went on a fag (cigarette) weekend in November to Benidorm Spain. He was there with his mates and he saw someone who he recognised from home but didnt acually know his name. He went up to him and asked who he had come over with. He told him he was here on a Wii Weekend, my son had an idea what he was on about has he was here for something similar.
He asked him how much he was paying and what he got out of it, he said just a free weekend with the lads.
It works like this, you get a cheap flight, theres cost £49 on FlyBe flying from Birmingham at 7am on Saturday morning. The Hotel cost £30 a night specail rate for two people sharing. So far cost £64 for flight and accomodation. Arrive at hotel in benidorm at around 12noon. The first thing they did was go and find shop to purchase 10 Wii’s as there was ten of them on the trip.
They paid 300 Euro’s each for the Wii’s around £180. Apparently there was every console you can get at the place they went to. DS’s Playstations and Xbox’s were in plentiful supply. They went to get the Wii’s first because the whole weekend was based on them purchasing a Wii. Apparently they did do there homework first and rang first to make sure there was a supply in benidorm before flying over as otherwise it would have been pointless.
Wii’s purchased and that was it; the weekend could start in earnest. Back to the hotel wii’s safely in the hotel safe and out they went on the town for the night. The next day they had on the beach lazing around and then watched Man Utd in one of the many football bars benidorm has to offer.
Last few beers in the bar, back to hotel to pick up cases and Wii’s and off to the airport to catch the 7.30pm flight back to the UK.
These figures are based on my sons costs which would be similar to the guys on the Wii-kend. £64 flight and accomodation £50 on a good night out including food, total £114. Now once home all Wii’s put on Ebay and all fetched lets say £300. So £114 plus £180 cost of Wii equals £294. So the sale of the wii covered the whole cost of the weekend, abit better than going to the nearest out of town shopping center. Only thing was they were 2 pin plugs but that didn’t matter as they work perfectly well will a converter or change to 3 pin plug.
Where To Buy Cheap Wii Consoles?
Abdelrahim Mansour asked:
As you probably already know, the supply of Xbox 360 's isn't anywhere near the demand of the consumers. This can be blamed on the manufacturing complexity of the Xbox 360 machine, the multiple launches in different regions, and the momentum present from the original Xbox as well as the Holiday shopping season.
In Europe and North America, there are supply shortages. For now, Japan can be left out of that analysis because there isn't any shortage there at the present moment. Microsoft is going to be in the game industry forever. The hype that has been generated by all of the supply shortages now could result in the mainstream associated the Xbox with videogames. One very important thing is mindshare.
There were several people that had never even heard of the Xbox gaming system before now have been introduced. In fact, Xbox 360 is completely all over the place: news media, advertisements, television shows, PVC forum. Everyone everywhere wants one. In the event that you want one but you can't really located one, you may get a little frustrated. You will be really shock at the amount of people that will punch some holes in the wall and break bottles because they can't purchase the hottest item of the year.
The bottom line is if you, yourself are a gamer or if you have a very close relationship with a gamer, or if you have a child that is a gamer or may want to be a gamer one day, or if you ever take the time to watch television, you have at least heard of the new gaming console known as the Xbox 360. Word travels fast and by now, you have probably heard more about the Xbox 360 than you could ever imagine. The Xbox 360 has had a lot more advertising than the Playstation 3.
By several people, the Xbox 360 is considered to be the absolute greatest gaming console on the retail market today. However, there are others that are still totally in love with their playstations and they will always remain faithful to them. In the event that you are thinking about purchasing the Xbox 360, or even if it is just a very casual though, or in a situation where you would just prefer to sound a little more informed next time that you and all of your gaming friends are together, you may want to take the time to look at the Xbox 360 pros and cons.
The Xbox 360 gaming console pros and cons aren't there to tell you that you shouldn't or should purchase the Xbox 360; they are there just to let you know all of the reasons that you should purchase the Xbox 360 and all of the reasons that you shouldn't purchase the Xbox 360. It is totally up to you on what decision you make on purchasing the Xbox 360. However, make sure that you take into consideration that the Xbox 360 has some extraordinary graphics but the question of whether or not they are better than the PS3 is completely debatable. However, most people wills till agree that the Xbox 360 has much better graphics that the Nintendo Wii.
