			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s been a long time coming, but finally Hulu Plus just came out for the Motorola Droid X Today, June 23, 2011.  You should be able to download Hulu Plus and Netflix for the Droid x on the Android Marketplace.  Hulu Plu costs $7.99 a month.  While many critique the fact that it forces you to watch ads, even though its a paid service, my argument is this.  Unlike Netflix, Hulu Plus allows you to watch current shows that are happening on TV.  Most people pay $60 to $100 dollars per month for satellite TV or cable.  These services are filled with commercials and advertisements, so paying $7.99 for a streaming service with limited ads is still a way better deal.</p>
<p>I did get a chance to try out the Hulu Plus app for the droid X today and it works great!  Of course I had my droid X connected to the Wifi in my home, but the interface is simple enough.  I did have a little trouble finding my subscriptions, which can be accessed by pressing the &#8220;more&#8221; button at the top right of the app.  Once i figured this out I was easily able to start watching my shows.  Having the ability to have Hulu Plus and Netflix on the Droid X means that i can have full access to my favorite shows and movies on the go.  Road trips have now become much better for me as I can watch what i want, when i want to.  If you have a droid x, makes sure to get the Hulu Plus Droid X app, as well as the Netflix Droid X app Today!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So after complaining yesterday about not getting the Gingerbread update on my Droid X, everything changed last night.  I manually checked for an update at about midnight and it started to download the gingerbread update.  The update installed wonderfully, but then I started wondering about netflix. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Since I own a Droid X from Verizon, I have been looking around often to see if Motorola or Verizon has officially announced that Gingerbread is going to be released on the Droid X.  Well earlier this week, places like CNet.com, and a few other sources have said that Gingerbread is being released the last few days of May. </p>
<p>I&#8217;ve also heard that it is currently being sent out in waves to test users who have the Droid X.  I guess I&#8217;m not one of those test users because everytime I go to Settings&gt;About Phone&gt; System Update, I am getting no success.  There are even those reporting that June 1st is the day that it will be available to download. </p>
<p>Why doesn&#8217;t Verizon just freaking tell us what is going on?  I mean its their flagship phone for crying out loud!  I certainly hope that people can get Gingerbread on the Droid X June 1st, but all of this guessing and waiting is what kills me as a phone owner of the Droid X.  The way that updates get rolled out needs to change as it turns into a he said she said phenomenon. </p>
<p>If you have actually gotten the Droid X Gingerbread update, sound off in the comments below.  If you haven&#8217;t I would like to know so that I can feel better about not having Gingerbread yet.</p>
<p>**UPDATE** &#8211; Just got the update tonight!  Works wonderfully, looks like the manual update is working now!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For those of you out there that are droid lovers like me, you will be happy to know that Netflix just recently released some news regarding a Netflix android app that will be released at the beginning of next year.  The biggest thing that has kept a Netflix Android app from happening is the fragmentation problems that they have been having.  Because the Android platform is so open source, in order to make the movie studios happy, Netflix has been working round the clock on creating a way to securely show the movies to Android users while meeting all of the movie studio privacy laws and regulations.</p>
<p>Because there are issues with getting a security system to get DRM in place, the fact is that the app will only be released for certain phones that allow a secure DRM system.  This most likely means that older Android phones will not be able to handle the Netflix Android app at first.  Select android phones will be getting the Netflix app around the beginning of the year, but older phones will have to wait for a more robust Netflix app, or may never see it.</p>
<p><a href="http://consolebliss.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/netflix-android-app.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-124" title="netflix android app" src="http://consolebliss.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/netflix-android-app.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>Netflix is one of the most popular streaming services out there, and many Android users have been begging for an app for quite some time now.  Most people who own a Google Android phone can start getting excited as the app will be released on  specific Android devices at the beginning of the 2011 year.</p>
<p>Check back as we will continue to post Netflix Android news as it comes from Netflix and from the Android OS platform creators.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-120" title="base_media" src="http://consolebliss.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/base_media.jpg" alt="base_media" width="220" height="220" /></p>
<p>Christmas just came and went recently and many people did not get the blu-ray player they wanted for christmas.  Many people are also asking the question, &#8220;Should i buy a blu-ray player?&#8221;  Many people are asking this question because of streamable entertainment.  Netflix is one of the services that is leading the way with streamable conent via the internet to watch movies and tv series.  Well to answer your question, YES you should buy a blu-ray player!</p>
<p>What many people don&#8217;t know is that the newer Blu-ray players actually come with the ability to stream movies from netflix, youtube, and have the ability to listen to music on pandora.  This is truly the best of both worlds as the blu-ray movies blow the streamable content out of the water with the high quality video and HD soundtrack.  This isn&#8217;t to say that streamable content won&#8217;t eventually get there, but for now the Blu-ray disc is the king and probably will be for the next several years.</p>
<p>The new LG and Samsung Blu-ray players offer the netflix capability.  Many people are also turning to the PS3 as their primary blu-ray source.  This is actually a very smart idea as the PS3 is still one of the fastest loading blu-ray disc players out there on the market today!  The greatest thing about the PS3 is that not only is it a blu-ray playing movie powerhouse, but it&#8217;s also a console which has had some very good games that have come out such as uncharted 2 and Assassins Creed 2.  The PS3 and the new Blu-ray players also provide a service called BD Live which is a fun feature to use when watching movies.  What BD live does is allow you to chat with friends and family who have BD live while watching a movie, watch extra downloadable content on the movie, and just really give you an online portal into behind the scenes information and easter eggs of the movie you are watching.</p>
<p>If you are still debating whether or not to buy a blu-ray player, we hope that this article has helped you to know that Blu-ray is certainly not on its way out anytime soon.  The great thing is you can combine both the disc and online streamable content into one mega player that can do it all and keep your movie theater room blasting quality movies and tv series to give enjoyment to your whole family!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-114" title="sixaxis" src="http://consolebliss.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/sixaxis-300x193.jpg" alt="sixaxis" width="300" height="193" /></p>
<p>When it comes to gaming nothing beats playing a game with a nice controller.  Even though consoles are known for their nice fitting controllers that feel natural in your hand, there is no reason to let the consoles have the monopoly on controllers.  Consoles are really just souped up PC systems and the controllers can be used with your PC.  In fact the best PC controllers out there are the controllers made for consoles.  The DualShock 3 SIXAXIS PS3 and XBOX 360 controller are the most well made controllers out there that really do last and can take a serious beating.  Most of the other third party pc controllers are just not as durable as what the Playstation and Microsoft have come out with.  The other really great part about using a console controller with your PC is that if you ever play your favorite PC game on the Xbox or PS3 you won&#8217;t be the odd man out that doesn&#8217;t know the controls.  How do you hook up these controllers to your PC?  We&#8217;ll tell you!</p>
<p>The easiest PC game controller to install is the XBOX controller as it is made by Microsoft.  Any machine with Windows XP or above are compatible with the controller.  Simply plug in the controller to the usb port and whala, you are good to go.  If you have the wireless version of the XBOX 360 controller then you will need to buy a USB thumb drive that can read the wireless signal of the controller.  These controller stations can be bought off of amazon and other gaming stores for not very much.  These adapter also let you have several controllers hooked up to your PC which can all be wireless to experience multi player gaming on the same computer.</p>
<p>The PS3 Controller is also fairly easy to install, but may not be as easy as the microsoft controller.  The Dual Shock 3 controllers have a USB input for you to hook up to your computer.  If you want to use the blue-tooth technology you will need to have a bluetooth receiver or buy a special receiver fom SONY.  Here are some simple steps to install a Ps3 controller.</p>
<ul>
<li>Download and install the SIXAXIS controller driver which can be downloaded here. <a href="http://consolebliss.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/Sixaxis_PS3_Win32_Driver_For_PC.rar">sixaxis_PS3_Win32_Driver.rar</a></li>
<li>Unpack the ps3sixaxis_en.exe file</li>
<li>Plug the SIXAXIS Dual Shock 3 PS3 controller into your PC via the USB cable</li>
<li>Run the ps3sixaxis_en.exe file ONE TIME</li>
<li>One you have run the executable file, simply press the PS button on the SIXAXIS once if the computer does not read the controller right away.</li>
</ul>
<p>Like we mentioned above, nothing can beat the durability and comfort of using these two controllers.  By using these controllers you will have a much more enjoyable playing experience and you will be able to switch from console platform to platform without skipping a beat.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-99" title="actual_mac_desktop_by_kempokidd" src="http://consolebliss.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/actual_mac_desktop_by_kempokidd-300x201.jpg" alt="actual_mac_desktop_by_kempokidd" width="210" height="141" /></p>
<p>Many gamers who like to game on the PC often will ask us what the best PC system is for game performance.  We could come right out and tell you what the most current system on the market is that has all the bells and whistles, but by the time you read this it will be obsolete.  Instead we want to talk about the main components of PC systems that matter as far as PC video games and an enjoyable gaming experience.</p>
<p>Video games theses days are much more entrancing than ever before and are much more movie like.  They are very beautiful looking and pay special attention to detail.  The games are in High Definition Video and support all of the latest sound formats that the movie studios use to present the feature films we pay money to see.  You can&#8217;t really fully enjoy a video game these days without a complete system to enhance all the hard work that has gone into the game.  This article is dedicated to the aspects that we believe to be pivotal when it comes to creating the perfect pc system for a hardcore PC gamer.</p>
<p>The first thing is the video.  Make sure you have a PC game system that has a nice video card with an HDMI output.  This will allow you to hook up your computer to an HDTV or a Large monitor that has an HDMI input to ensure maximum video resolution.  Stop playing games on a lame 19&#8243; monitor and upgrade to something that will help you see detail and help you see the things in games you never saw before.   The beauty of the new video games is you can make an HDTV your monitor if you have an HDMI out on your video card.  A nice 32&#8243; HDTV will only run you about $300 dollars so move on up!</p>

<p> The next thing to make sure of is a nice PC sound system.  Like we mentioned earlier, PC games are usually in DTS-HD and DOLBY TRUE-HD formats so make sure you have a video card that supports these codecs.  PLEASE get rid of your two stereo speakers and upgrade to a nice 5.1 surround sound system or better yet, 7.1 surround sound.  You will be amazed at how cheap a sound system is labeled &#8220;PC sound system&#8221; instead of &#8220;Home theater.&#8221;  The speakers are just as good as a home theater system and in many cases are better, but you will save hundreds of dollars just because it is labeled a sound system for a PC environment.  You will get so much more out of your games as you will be able to hear gun shots ricocheting off of walls and the sound of footsteps coming up behind you.  Like we said, video games today are just like movies and the fun of movies is the sound.</p>
<p>Once you have these things down, get yourself a fast machine that is at least a dual core.  Quad cores are available and make framerates absolutely amazing.  Make sure you buy an actual CPU that has the power you need to play the newest graphic intensive games.</p>
<p>Next, stop using a keyboard and mouse!  Get a nice PC controller.  In some cases you can even use your PS3 or XBOX 360 controller to play your PC video games.  This is nice because if you ever switch over to a console at your friend&#8217;s house, you won&#8217;t be the odd man out as you will be comfortable on the console controller. </p>
<p>As you can see there is alot of components that go into building and creating the perfect PC gaming system to play the out of this world video games that companies are making these days.  Follow these steps and you are guarenteed to have a better and more enjoyable playing experience.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-93" title="lgbluray copy" src="http://consolebliss.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/lgbluray-copy.jpg" alt="lgbluray copy" width="280" height="280" /></p>
<p>In the world of PC gaming there are many changes that are taking place.  Just like the consoles, PC games are starting to come out on Blu-ray formats.  Why is this?  The real question should be why haven&#8217;t we done this sooner?  Blu-ray is at the peak of technology as far as how much data these discs can hold.  This media format allows for game developers to really make games large and pretty, with stunning environments and character models.  PC games are now moving from DVD ROM format to Blu-Ray to keep up with the consoles and deliver more breathtakingly beautiful video games to the PC platform.</p>
<p>The LG blu ray burner for example can connect to your computer via SATA, which is much faster than the old IDE protocol.  A regular Blu-ray disc can hold 25 GB and a dual layer disc can hold up to 50 GB of information!  To put this into perspective that means you could hold 9 hours of HD video content, 23 hours of standard definition video,  or you could even fit 72 CD&#8217;s on a Blu-ray disc.  The LG blu ray burner gives you 16X speed and you can burn Blu-ray and HD DVD media formats onto a Blu-ray disc which is either single or dual layered.  This is a one burner fits all as it can do both formats and do it in a jiffy!</p>
<p>How expensive are Blu-ray burners? You can purchase one of these things starting at around $200 up to $700 dollars.  The higher you go in the price, the faster and the more the burner can do, but if you are looking for something to just store media, or backup your DVR than a regular $200 dollar burner will do you just fine. </p>
<p>As PC games are coming out in Blu-ray format you will eventually have to get a Bu-ray player for your PC.  Since you are going to have to buy one anyway, why not get a burner that can also write Blu-rays instead of just read them.  You can use a pioneer blu ray burner for several different things.  Even laptops are coming standard with a laptop blu ray burner, so what can you do with them?  We have already gone over some simple things you can do, but backing up music can be a breeze, especially if you have a lot of music on iTunes.  One Blu-ray will most likely be more than enough to hold all of your music libraries and keep you from losing any important information.  Also if you edit video or pictures a Blu-ray burner could come in extremely handy.</p>
<p>To sum it all up Blu-ray players are becoming main stream so don&#8217;t just settle for one that can read a disc, but get one that can write one too as you will find there are many different situations that being able to write a Blu-ray disc will come in very handy.</p>
