If you subscribe to Netflix, you can watch movies more or less from virtually any computer and most gaming consoles, including Nintendo’s latest gaming machine, the Wii U. What’s unique, is Netflix, running on this new console, can take advantage of the machines two-screen integration enabling a totally new browsing and viewing experience in full HD.
In Kinect Star Wars, you'll be able to chop droids up with lightsaber slashes. Insert obligatory Jar Jar Binks reference here.
I just want to sit on my butt and play games!
That’s how I felt after the lights came up in the University of Southern California’s Galen Center (which, on an unrelated note, apparently has a structure called the Tilley Tower) after Microsoft’s Electronic Entertainment Expo press conference earlier today.

Pricing information was not announced, nor were complete tech specs, but the new device appears to be capable of graphical fidelity approaching that of the Playstation 3, and will undoubtedly lay claim to the title of most powerful and full-featured gaming handheld.
Forget the special effects extravaganzas that will be melting your eyeballs at the local multiplex this year. It turns out the biggest 3D entertainment event of 2011 might just take place in the palm of your hand.

Nintendo’s 3DS, winner of the Best of CES: Gaming award, is the latest successor to the popular DS series, and it’s got gamers excited. The portable gaming device features a 3.5″ 3D touchscreen that doesn’t require glasses to view the effect. Those who’ve tried it say the 3D technology works great and significantly adds to the experience. There is an option though to adjust the 3D intensity or turn it off when desired.
