Final Question

With all the talk on the show about the PS3 and the Xbox 360, you thought that I forgot all about the Nintendo Wii. Well, one magazine just called it the best of what’s new in the category of home entertainment. This beat out Blu-Ray Players, Surround Sound Equipment, and even a sweet LCD High Def TV. My question for you this week is, What magazine gave the award to Nintendo. Who is Popular Science.
