Home Entertainment for the 21st Century
The gaming industry has seen tremendous growth in recent years. Even the movie industry looks pale in comparison. Traditionally, we've seen games being developed after movies. Current market trends have many movie makers developing adaptations of video games knowing they will be a sure-fire hit at the box office. But why are we seeing such trends? One can point towards the evolution of the television and the increased demand for quality home Entertainment Furniture.
Television has seen one of the greatest advances in technology in recent years. High-definition television and Plasma TV's have the technologically-savvy drooling. And it's because of the advent of these that many furniture manufacturers are taking the initiative to make the home entertainment system something to behold. For many of us, there is no better feeling than seeing in perfect detail, the game-winning overtime goal during the Stanley Cup Finals, or watching the walk-off home run during the World Series.
Proving to be one of the most advantageous from the advent of High-Def and Plasma TV's is the gaming industry. In recent years, we've seen the birth of such next-generation gaming systems such as the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Nintendo Wii. These systems have taken the world by storm, with over three quarters of the homes throughout North America, Europe, and Asia owning at least one of the three aforementioned systems. And is it any wonder why these systems are the "Must-haves" for any teen or young adult? Not really when you think about it. For many gamers, for years they've wanted to see their games come to life, and with the engines these systems are equipped with, the graphics are so realistic that it may be as close to real life as they'll ever get. Or perhaps they've wanted to be part of the game, acting as the main hero in the story, or actually driving the car. Enter the Nintendo Wii - a system that uses a Remote Control as a peripheral device that acts as your own personal sword, steering wheel, golf club, etc etc.
So what does this mean for the state of the home entertainment system? A tremendous leap in demand for high-quality entertainment centers, big-screen units, and/or other Home Theater furniture.
Keeping up with this demand, many furniture manufacturers are producing home entertainment centers as their top line of product, as they too want to be part of the home entertainment phenomenon. In today's marketplace, it is not uncommon to see a wide selection of big screen and corner units, entertainment armoires, TV stands and cabinets, and other home theater furniture from your local retailer or online store.
We are now left with the evolution of gaming, combined with top-of-the-line entertainment furniture. What does that make? Home entertainment for the 21st century. A state where our lives are being fulfilled by unbelievable clarity in the games we play and the movies we watch and undeniable fun when entertaining our guests.
The evolution of the television has indeed forever changed the outlook on modern day home entertainment. With it, we are once again seeing our living rooms as a haven where fun and entertainment lives. High definition and plasma televisions, next generation gaming, and quality home entertainment centers are the future of home theater. This is home entertainment for the 21st century!

Baby Einstein - On the Go - Riding, Sailing and Soaring List Price: $19.99 Sale Price: $10.98 Used From: $3.25 |
|
Baby Einstein celebrates things that go--from trains and planes to boats and bikes--in this 40-minute foray into the world of transportation for the toddler set. Called a "digital board book," the film is divided into segments of land, air, and sea. The deliberately paced scenes feature classical music by great composers (such as Haydn and Mozart) integrated with puppets, live action, and computer animation. Early learning words scroll across the screen with voice-overs available in three language tracks. In one scene, a pastel-colored animated rowboat morphs into an open sea adventure of speedboats, cruise ships, and sailboards. In another, three kids sing the familiar "Wheels on the Bus" as puppets step onboard a brightly colored coach. The train sequence starts with a child pushing a toy choo-choo before expanding into footage of steamers, locomotives, and high-speed trains. Such a visual feast not only entertains young ones but also helps them make critical brain connections, say experts. The Baby Einstein Company has grown up from its 1997 beginnings, having been acquired in 2001 by Disney and its behemoth marketing savvy. While the film is as high quality and interactive as ever, the content gives greater emphasis to computer graphics (with spin-off merchandising opportunities) and lesser attention to its original cornerstones of stylish imagery, art, poetry, and singularly classical compositions. "The Wheels on the Bus" is hardly Beethoven, though youngsters certainly won't complain. (Ages 2 to 4) --Lynn Gibson A fun-filled introduction to things that "go!'-- Introduces cars, planes, trains and more-- Exposes little ones to the concept of transportationAs little ones become increasingly mobile, their fascination with all things that move intensifies too. On the Go Riding Sailing and Soaring exposes babies to the different ways people travel -- on land, by sea, and in the air -- while it presents them with captivating real-world images, funny puppet shows, and beautiful classical music by Beethoven, Haydn, Mozart and Rossini. So whether your little one is piloting toy planes, revving up choo-choo trains or boating in the bathtub, this delightful and interactive introduction to "things that go" will transport both of you to a world of fun and discovery you can explore together!DVD Features-- Repeat play-- Language tracks (Spanish, French and English)-- Discovery cards-- Toy chest-- Let's sing together: * "The Wheels on the Bus" * "THe Bells on the Train"-- Guess what I'm drawing! / Puppet shows |

Baby Einstein - Meet the Orchestra - First Instruments List Price: $19.99 Sale Price: $5.40 Used From: $1.45 |
|
Adults may think it's too early to teach a baby the difference between a trumpet and a bugle, but Baby Einstein: Meet the Orchestra--First Instruments entertains children with its next music installment. Relying on its tried-and-true formula of bright colors, quick-paced format, and almost no dialogue (except to repeat names and identify groups by section: brass, woodwinds, strings, and so forth), First Instruments flashes the instrument and its name on the screen, demonstrates how it sounds, and shows animated characters, puppets, babies, youth, and grown-ups all performing on (and enjoying) it. It then combines instruments for a few classical numbers. The jazzy rendition of Beethoven's "Fur Elise" is questionable (it would be nicer to teach kids appreciation for the real thing). Bonus features include instrument flash cards, several puppet shows, a featurette teaching more about music, and additional orchestral numbers. A nice diversion for your little maestro-to-be. Ages 1 year and up.--Ellen A. Kim A playful introduction to musical instruments and their sounds!-- Exposes little ones to the sights and sounds of an orchestra-- Features children playing musical instrumentsAt 12 months, babies can identify specific sounds, and they re also starting to match the sounds they hear with the objects that make them. Meet the OrchestraTM -- First Instruments presents your little "maestro" with a playful introduction to the sights and sounds of a real orchestra -- from the clashing of cymbals to the purring of the cello and everything in between! One of the greatest joys parents experience is the first time their child sings a song or picks up a musical toy and starts to play. Music appreciation begins early, and this resoundingly entertaining program encourages musical exploration with fun puppet shows, captivating real-world images and beautiful music by Beethoven, Brahms, Joplin, Haydn, Mozart and Strauss. It s a great way for you and your little one to start off on the right note! DVD Features-- Repeat play-- Language tracks (Spanish, French and English)-- Discovery cards-- Toy chest-- Maestro's recital-- Guess the musical instrument-- Puppet shows-- About Little Einsteins (Available in French and English only) |
