Michael Jackson The Experience Video Game

Found. The perfect gift for Michael Jackson fans, young and old. Michael Jackson's The Experience is a brand-new video game arriving November 23rd, 2010, just in time for Christmas.

At least it is arriving for the Nintendo Wii, the Nintendo DS and the Sony PSP on November 23, 2010. It will not be available for the Xbox 360 until March 1, 2011.

In this new video game, you get to try out all of Michael Jackson's dance moves and choreography. You'll be able to challenge your family and friends or, if you prefer, to use them as back-up dancers.

Whether or not you are a dancer, this game looks like a hoot. It features 26 of Michael's most famous songs and it even includes the lyrics so you can sing along although true fans already know all the words.

A bonus, at least for me, would be that you can train in training mode before you invite your family and friends to join in.

Anyway, I'm no dancer but I would not mind finding Michael Jackson's The Experience under my Christmas tree this year. (I'm from the older fan category. I grew up with Jackson and can even remember the day that he launched his video for Thriller. Can you?)

While I think this game is perfect for ah, slightly ah 'older' fans like myself, I also think it will be of interest to MJ's younger fans who are familiar with his music and who love to DANCE.

Beatles Remastered In Stereo and Mono Box Sets

The Beatles Remastered!

It has been a while since the Beatles created as much excitement as they did this year on September 9th when they released two remastered collections of their music. Almost instantaneously, both The Beatles Stereo Box Set and The Beatles Mono Box Set sold out.

You can bet that these exciting new box sets are going to appear on many Christmas wish lists this year as they appeal to everyone, from the long-time Beatles fans to the young crowd who knows and loves the Beatles, too. If you are buying a Beatles remastered set for someone in your life, you have two choices then, the stereo box set or the mono box set.

If your Beatles fan is a purist, you might want to choose the mono recordings so that the music is exactly as the Beatles recorded it. 'Mono' features the production of sound on one channel and is the way The Beatles recorded most of their albums. This set contains the first ten albums in re-mastered mono and a mono masters disc. To read more about the Beatles mono set, click here.

If, however, your Beatles fan is not a purist and prefers a more natural sound, you might want to choose the stereo boxed set. Stereo sound features the production of sound on two or more channels listened to through two or more speakers, which gives the more natural feeling of sound coming from various directions. The stereo set includes thirteen remastered albums and a past masters disc. To read more about the Beatles stereo set, click here.

Either set allows the listener to hear the Beatles like they have never heard them before!

If you do want to share some of this modern-day Beatlemania excitement with someone you love at Christmas time, you might want to consider ordering your Beatles boxed sets with Amazon now since both sets sold out on September 9th. Doing so will make sure you are already in line for a copy when the next copies become available!
