With all of these cool gadgets coming out, I guess it’s a bad year to not be a console gamer. Just yesterday we talked about the Netflix on your Xbox 360 , and today Logitech adds into the pot with a full-featured keyboard for the Wii. Pretty cool if you’ve ever had to type in…oh…anything on the Wii, even on a friend’s console. It is not exactly the most fun part of a Wii, to say the least. With more MMORPG and social oriented games coming out, a full-sized keyboard could easily find it’s way into the console world.

Currently, the keyboard is scheduled to be available in August for about $50. Let’s hope it won’t follow the same Wii trend and be impossible to get for the first six months. =)

Just a quick blurb, but this is flippin’ cool! I’m not a console gamer myself, but I may get one just for this feature. =)

Microsoft announced a partnership today with Netflix to stream movies and TV to your Xbox 360 using Xbox Live. How cool is that? Now, no fanboy name calling here, but you have GOT to be excited about that, come on! According to the release, there are like 10k+ movies and shows to choose from. LOVE IT! I was considering a Netflix or Blockbuster mail-based rental account, but not anymore when I can just stream them over Xbox Live. This should launch this fall, so stay tuned!!

The only one ‘gotcha’ that I’m not seeing in the release: 1) How much? Is it going to be a free-for-all like the Zune (which, again, I LOVE) or a pay-per? If it’s a pay-per, I think I’ll pass…sorry Microsoft! =(
