Continuing on with Volkswagen I had to test drive a Volkswagen Golf GTI for are final project in my Marketing 130 class. This car is a blast to drive with a four cylinder 2 liter turbo engine that generates 200 horse power. The model I drove had a six speed manual transmission that was the smoothest transmission I have ever driven and the engine produced a very smooth torque curve allowing for smooth and consistent acceleration and quick steering This is an excellent car that I would recommend to people looking for a four door hot hatch, but enough about the car’s performance. This car is a prime example of media convergence inside the car just from the steering wheel I can use blue tooth devices to make phone calls and manage the stereo and control the devices gauges and dashboard display. For example you can set the car to beep at you if you exceed a certain speed as well as set the car but for different driving conditions. The touch screen of the car allows for control of satellite radio and GPS along with many other media devices.

Moving on to the Video game aspect of this blog. I am now about half way through my second play through of Mass Effect 2. I am still enjoying myself making what I believe to be better choices to get the out come that I want to achieve. In other game related media Dead Space 2 has used the interesting ad campaign of billing it as the game that your mom will hate.
Sony has announced that it will be releasing a new portable gaming counsel called the Next Generation Portable or the NGP for short. It has a quad core processor and can play playstation 3 games due to its processing power. It is also equipped with the convergent media of wifi and 3G capabilities as well as GPS and it also can connect to all forms of social media. The NGP will also have the ability to locate other NGP's in a given area and through them you can tell what game they are playing and you can go on to the playstation store and download the game or movie that they are playing or watching immediately. This product will offer strong competition to Nintendo's own handheld the 3DS.
