Watch Beijing Olympic 2008 Opening Ceremony Online Free

Is it possible to watch the Beijing Olympic 2008 online? The answer is Yes and No, depending on the location you are streaming from. TVTonic is partnering with NBC Olympics to bring the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games to Windows Media Center. Yes, it is possible to watch online (am not too sure if it is stream live from Beijing) and the only catch is it’s only available for US user only.

  • Download & watch full length Olympic events
  • watch while “on the go” and off-line
  • hours of video covering over 20 Olympic sports
  • subscribe to your favorite events for automatic delivery to your PC

NBC is further expanding its coverage of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games with an Internet-delivered catch-up TV service powered by TVTonic on Windows Media Center on PCs running Windows Vista Home Premium or Windows Vista Ultimate! With NBC Olympics On The Go and Windows Media Center, you will be able to create a customized channel lineup of your favorite events for automatic download to your PC. Download NBC coverage of the Games overnight, and take them with you to watch online or offline in up to HD quality.

My only concern is, why only stream it to US citizens? and to limit the streaming to Vista users is a no brainer, and why YouTube did not take any concrete steps to stream the games from Beijing?

My advise is, try other alternative websites such as Ustream.tv or MLB.tv, fear not, P2P technology will prevails.

Update
YouTube has just announce the availability of video from the olympic games this summer, the only catch is it is only made available for certain countries, do check it out - YouTube Beijing Olympic 2008.

Sony PS2 and the White Christmas

Sony PS2 and the White Christmas

It may be the last generation console, but PlayStation still proves to be very popular among gamers. This Christmas, Sony is launching a new white PlayStation 2 instead of the conventional black.

The PS2 has an installed base of more than 117 million worldwide with 44 million in North America alone. A further 10 million PlayStation 2 units are expected to be sold worldwide by the end of March 2008.

With such a huge base of gamers and its vast collection of games title, the PlayStation 2 is indeed a cash cow for Sony, it really makes me wonder why would a person choose PS2 instead of Nintendo Wii? It may be the number of games title available for PS2 or is it the mindset that was so clearly imprint in each and everyone of us that PlayStation is the sole gaming console?
