The 360 gained popularity and staying power when they introduced Netflix to their system in late 2008. Since then, over a million users have added the Netflix application to their system, and for $8.99 USD a month that is certainly one heck of a deal. One year later the PlayStation 3 joined our century and the Netflix Instant Streaming Disc was arriving on the doorsteps of PS3 users as well.
Now Nintendo is gearing up to add Netflix to their consoles as well. Streaming will be introduced to the Wii this spring sometime, although no approximate dates have been added yet. For geeks like Joshua and I, this essentially means we can have Netflix on all five of our systems. Now we just need to buy a fifth TV…
Well, you’d be completely wrong because these people are effing hardcore. Seriously, look at that guy’s arm over there on the left. That sh*t will be there forever (4ever?). Anyways, since Nicole’s already beat the pants off of Borderlands and has moved on to L4D2, I figured this post would be more aimed at her than anyone. While I wouldn’t be ballsy enough to get a tattoo of a zombie corpse hand on my arm, if I find that at least 10 people comment on this post I will have Nicole draw the hand in sharpie on my back for absolutely no reason.

As you may have noticed, Joshua and I and gravitate toward the Xbox 360 over the PS3, although we still love our PS3 dearly. Maybe it’s the achievement system, or the sweet line-up of first-party games they offer. But for many we love the 360 because of the networking and because so many of our friends are on Live. This can become a problem if one’s system isn’t near an ethernet jack and instead has to resort to a pricey wireless adapter just to connect. For all those who this might effect, rest easier, because Microsoft dropped the prices on their adapters! Now you can pick new ones up for $79.99 and used ones for the same $69.99 (if you can find one). I was really stretching it with this opening, but you totally get the point. 
Nicole and I mean to podcast tomorrow (seriously this time) on account of having way more material to talk about. From Zombieland to Scribblenauts and the debut of the fourth season of Dexter, we’ve been keeping up on geekish things as much as we can as fall starts to kick off.
Though you can’t see it, I’m cockily laughing at every single one of you who bought Street Fighter 4 already. Not in an overly mean way, just matter-of-factly because yours truly had the foresight to envision a move like this from Capcom and wisely held onto his $60 at launch. So ha! Actually, in truth I was busy playing a lot of other games at the time and as much as I like Street Fighter, I rarely purchase fighting games as most of my friends don’t dig it enough to get excited. Just the same, I might give it a shot this time around. Are any of you planning to pick this up despite already owning Street Fighter 4?
Because Nicole and I are going to podcast tomorrow and I don’t have anything terribly interesting to say, I thought I’d let you all know that Daft Punk will be in the forthcoming DJ Hero. Initially I wasn’t overly excited for this game, but their presence has certainly piqued my interest and the thought of mastering another rhythm game has more than enticed me. You can read more about it over at 
So while Nicole and I were at Myrtle Beach The Beatles: Rock Band made its debut without us. Nicole was positively rabid about playing it and I had high hopes for the game after reading interviews and updates for months about all of the care that had gone into preserving it as a grand entry into The Beatles legacy. So, as soon as we got back we ran down to Gamestop and picked up our pre-order. While I can’t speak for Nicole, here are 5 observations about The Beatles: Rock Band.
The race to 80 is finally, officially at its end. It’s been a long, arduous battle and one that’s been an absolute blast. Take a listen to find out who was the victor as well as the skinny on the new WoW expansion, Cataclysm, Inglorious Basterds, what’s coming for consoles this week and as always, our geek of the week!
