If you ever thought "why can't I watch YouTube on my TV?" YouTube has come forward to answer you. Now you can really watch YT on your TV. Currently the site is available for the PlayStation 3 and the Wii, which is at www.youtube.com/tv. But if you try to visit the site with your computer, you will be redirected to the normal homepage.
Here is the youtube blog post and from the comments it looks like people are watching TV with Wii?
The Xbox 360 Arcade console combines a High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) connector and 256MB of on-board memory for storing games and entertainment content. It also includes five games previously available only to Xbox 360 users who signed up for Microsoft's Xbox Live Arcade online service - Pac-Man Championship Edition, Uno, Luxor 2, Boom Boom Rock and Feeding Frenzy. A wireless controller is also included. The system has a price $279.99.
There is also changes to XBOX Japanese Market;
Starting on November 1 in Japan, the Xbox 360 20GB bundle will start retailing for ¥34,800 ($306) which is a $44 cut from its previous price. The 360 core system will start going for ¥27,800 ($245) which gives it an $18 cut. Microsoft is also putting out a limited Value Pack for the console for ¥34,800 ($306) which comes with Viva Pinata and Forza Motorsport 2 titles but no HDMI cable.
The price cuts and new models are not only in the Microsoft side. Sony has reduced to price of PS3 and introduced a new model with 40GB drive.
Yet I like to see how WII will beat both of them during the holidays.

Wii Undressed, an Open Wii for your pleasure;
TechRepublic has disassembled a hard to find Wii so that you can enjoy watching the innards of a Wii.
I would say it is a brave act or they have too much money to burn. On the other hand it is a $250 web advertisement for the site. I would have "wee"ed if I have to open my Wii!
Oneway or the other, I sailed through all the photos, and you might too. Follow the link given below.
