Nick Fury, R2-D2 Projector, iTunes and Wii Library Quality

Nick Fury Cameo - For a while now there has been rumors that Ultimate Nick Fury, played by Samuel Jackson, makes an appearance in Hulk and Iron Man. Apparently this could still be true but you will have to site through the credits of Iron Man to find out. So when the credits roll, remain seated and hope the rumors are true.

R2-D2 Projector - Click the link to see a fantastic projector that looks, moves, and sounds like R2-D2. The projector pretty much displays it all and even comes with a remote control in the shape of the Millennium Falcon. It’s $2,995 so way outside my price range but if I one the lottery it would be near the top of my list of things to buy.

iTunes Does New Releases - Apple announced that iTunes will start selling new movie releases the same day they are released in stores. They are also charging about the same as it would cost to buy the DVD with $15 for new releases and $10 for catalog titles. Personally it doesn't seem worth it to me as any real savings to speak of.

Wii Library Quality Low - A report has come out that indicates that in terms of game quality, the Wii is dead last with 11% declared as good. The 360 was tagged at 26% and the PS3 at 33%. The data is based on the rankings from GameRankings.com. I love my Wii but I can't say I am surprised. Nintendo, in an attempt to not repeat the Gamecube years, has allowed a glut of crapware to hit the market. They are basically mimicking the PS2 policy of allowing anyone that wants to make a game to do it. Meanwhile, the PS3 has adopted the Gamecube model of trying to allow only a select number of quality games to market. It’s a strange reversal.
