Well it's been 5 days since I updated my blog! Hopefully I will not get into that routine again! This week as been normal, but busy! I have got so many products in for ThinkComputers its crazy. Me and Kris have our hands full with reviews!! I also have to find content and update 3 other sites besides ThinkComputers….rough job eh? Besides website stuff Ashley and I actually got some what of a workout yesterday. We went for a walk down to the clubhouse to see when the pool would open and we took the long way back. We came up to the tennis and basketball courts and found there was a basketball there so we played for about an hour. No hard workout, but better than nothing! We are hoping to go play tennis / basketball atleast 3 times a week.
Well yesterday I posted ThinkComputers 400th review! Damn now thats alot of products! Lately we have picked up the pace of things almost posting a review each day! With this pace we should reach 500 reviews in no time! Now we only have 39 articles…hopefully we will post some new ones soon!
Well yesterday an article on ThinkGaming was posted to Slashdot. Now it was not posted on the front page of Slashdot, but on their gaming page, none the less it brought a ton of people to ThinkGaming. The article has got over 9700 hits so far, much better than the normal 400-700 a regular article gets. Now a Slashdot on any site is good, but when ThinkComputers gets Slashdotted it is usually for a product review, and in the review is a matching shopping.com ad. Usually that ad gets clicked over 1000 times, but since the article on ThinkGaming has no matching shopping.com ad then profits were not as great. I am still very happy, all of the sites in The Think Network have been on Slashdot except for our new Events page. Hopefully this will keep up traffic on ThinkGaming and bring more return visitors to the site.
Well I watched the entire webcast of Sony's E3 press conference. It was about the PS2, PSP, but mainly the PS3. Well I can say I am more excited about the PS3 now. It will have a Blu-ray player, gigabit ethernet port, 20gb or 60gb hard drive, and a new controller. The controller is much like the PS2 controller except it is wireless. It also has the same technology the Nintendo Wii controler will have with a six-axis sensing system. The cost of the PS3 will be $499 for the 20GB and $599 for the 60GB. Now here are my thoughts on it after seeing everything.
First of all the controller is much better than the previous version. Plus the six-axis sensing system is totally cool! No one was expecting that! The new games look really cool and match up the the 360 graphics. Now many of you think $599 is alot for a console…well it is LOL! But think about this the PS3 comes with a blu-ray player. Blu-Ray players are retailing for around $800 – $1200. Not sure what the prices will be in November when it is released but you are getting a Blu-ray player, game console that plays PS and PS2 games, CD's, DVD's, and Blu-Ray for that $599. So this might go on my holiday shopping list, we will see…
