hi I'm Hollywood and welcome to the buzz report and now for the gadget of the week the gadget of the week is the Nintendo Wii yeah no I know it's not even out yet and there's no news about it or anything but the Nintendo Wii looks like it's gonna be a pretty cool game console that really appeals to the mainstream and has that neat little motion-sensitive controller it's only supposed to cost $250 or less when it comes out November and by golly I think it's actually gonna come out on time plus the guys over in Nintendo are having a huge week why because Sony has announced that the PlayStation 3 will be delayed past the holidays in Europe and Australia and that they'll only ship a combined 500,000 units to Japan in the United States by the November 17th launch date plus they said they'll only ship 2 million of they're promised four million units by the end of the year the delay is the result of manufacturing problems with the blue laser diodes in the ps3s blu-ray player and actually those diodes have also caused delays on standalone blu-ray and HD DVD players so you know let's look on the bright side here basically the $600 game console that hardly anybody actually wants has been delayed due to problems with high-def DVD technologies that hardly anybody actually wants see Sony's just trying to give us what we want or what we don't want except slower whoa hard to get everybody likes hard to get hey don't laugh any of this could be Sony strategy the way they've been going lately after a series of leaks about inside information at hewlett-packard the company's chairwoman went on a crazy potentially illegal hunt for the leakers basically she got an outside company to lie to HP's board of directors in order to spy on their home phone and private cell phone call records Wow the intrigued you know I think I saw something like this once on alias I wonder if they need someone to go in undercover and kick a little ass here we go again time to ride the Apple rumor pony the company is set out invitations for another one of its super special events to be held next week in San Francisco the invitation says Showtime and of course everyone's thinking that this is the big movie downloads announcement and maybe we'll see the true video iPod mmm and then of course they wouldn't confuse everybody by announcing a new iMac and a new Mac Mini with Intel Core 2 Duo this week so now everyone's like oh wow maybe the announcements like so huge they didn't want to dilute it you know what I don't even care seriously I don't give a hoot what they announce next week and whatever it is it's probably gonna be late I'm so sick of hopping up on the bandwagon every time they wave their little Photoshop invites around everyone except me yeah fine you got me I'm not invited jerks William Shatner has declined an invitation from Sir Richard Branson to be one of the first passengers on a commercial space flight in 2008 the 75 year old Shatner said he was afraid he'd vomit all over himself and also die in a fiery crash oh this is so funny he's totally scared he's gonna die up there on Richard Branson's crazy virgin spacecraft thingy good call shatter you would totally freaking die up there that man is smart I'm Hollywood and this has been the bus report thanks for watching
