I saw EB is selling them for $200 if you trade in an xbox and some games, very tempting! Not sure I own enough games to get it for the $200 though.![]()

I was going to trade in my Xbox, but then they said I could only get about $30 store credit because it had a mod chip and most of the games were piratedOriginally Posted by Steve

hahaha you bloody machine!Originally Posted by DIEHARD
Yes the N64 days were good ones. Thats the last Nintendo I owned, it was excellent. I hardly play games anymore, even if I have the time, which is rare, so buying a new console would be a waste for me. I may have to hire a Wii in the future though, it sounds very good, even if reports are from someone as Nintendo bias as DIEHARD lol.
Have fun DIEHARD, which I'm sure you will, but remember, your sick.

I think they were just for show. I can't imagine Nintendo not releasing more colours in the future, but for now I think white is the only colour available.
I'm right into Zelda atm. There is no game serious I love more than Zelda and this is the most amazing game yet!
Been playing Wii Sports and Wii Play all weekend. My girlfriend loves the Wii.
I can't believe how popular and how much hype the machine has, its all well deserved but its still joyous for a long suffering Nintendo fan, used to being #1 from the old NES and SNES days. Much like being a Ferarri fan in the 1980s and early 1990s.
Everyone get a Wii!
PUT EM TO THE SWORD! SHOW SOME STEEL!

I am deciding between the Wii and the 360. I am leaning towards the Wii purely as it is cheaper in every way, but the 360 has better graphics and more media friendly.Originally Posted by MonaroMan
Have you played the Wii yet, what do you think?
This question can be directed at you too DIEHARD.
Just get a Wii and use your PC as well for games. That'll cover all bases pretty well.
Wii for action, adventure, sports and party games, PC for strategy, first person and RPGS. :guit:

yea i probably would get one If I had the money...But for now I'll settle for just my computer![]()
They do sound pretty cool though...But I'm assuming it will only go downhill like EyeToy did!
GO THE MAROONS!
I dunno, I spose Wii Sports is similar to the eye toy in a way, and it is very popular atm, So i think it can really only go down from here...I think the whole idea of actually physically playing the game will eventually get a bit boring, as the eye toy did. BUT...i havn't played the Wii yet so i can't really judge until i do...
GO THE MAROONS!
What point are you trying to make? That Wii Sports will become boring or that Wii will become boring?I dunno, I spose Wii Sports is similar to the eye toy in a way, and it is very popular atm, So i think it can really only go down from here...
But is it fair to compare a console, with many games and many developers creating content for it, to a game series on a traditional console? I don't think it is. I agree partially with your point - Eye Toy is pretty boring - but I don't agree with your logic "Well EyeToy was ultimately boring and Wii is sorta like it so...".I think the whole idea of actually physically playing the game will eventually get a bit boring, as the eye toy did.
I am referring to Wii Sports. I think the console itself will do fine!Originally Posted by aspher
True, it was a bit harsh comparing them, but as i said, I can't realy judge as i Havn't played it yet. But from what i have seen IMO, It won't stay this popular...Originally Posted by aspher

Yeah the EyeToy was the most boring thing to happen to the PS2... comparing it to the Wii which uses basically the same idea with REAL games = not good.
BTW Diehard, I'm in the same category as you. I'll be using the Wii for the classics and the games that actually play better with the controls, and I'll use my PC to get superior graphics (PC graphics are actually better than PS3 graphics if you have a top line video card) and for the games that are made easier with the presence of a keyboard and mouse.
Mum's keeping my Wii in the cupboard until Christmas (I dunno why, maybe just to keep up the tradition of getting presents on Christmas day). Only 14 days to go, and I can experience the greatness of the console![]()
