Say I want to pick up a Wii, extra wiimote + nunchuck, Red Steel, Exite Truck, and Call of Duty 3, that's going to cost me almost five hundred dollars.
Xbox 360 FTW.

How dare I call this love and not bear my cross to the end.
Jeeze, people, do I have to spell out every little comment I make for you? Not to be rude or anything, but lately, it's kinda....yikes.
Adrian, obviously I wasn't comparing anything, I was just saying with that much money you might as well buy an Xbox, what with the awesome graphics and games and such. Plus, the live "subsciption" is relative, as Wii doesn't have an online service anyways. It's just more bang for your buck.
And Shadowpaw, I said "almost 500 dollars". I didn't say "it will cost 500 dollars." 460 dollars is closer to 500 then 400. ........................
170 dollars more expensive, and much more well spent.
Nuff said.
I'm not saying the Wii is going to be bad or anything, but despite its seemingly cheap price, it's way overpriced and the launch titles kind of suck. Zelda? Yay. Exite Truck? Maybe yay. Everything else? Sucks.

4 Controlers so my siblings and I can play

With all my brothers chipping in, this is well worth the money just for the one game.
1 Wii
4 Gamecube controllers that you still have lying around
1 Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Yeah, we'll probably want to get all new controllers, but you're right, we could go REALLY cheap that way.The Top Crusader wrote:Actually...STRYPER wrote:1 Wii

Yeah, well, I'm cheap, so that's what *I'd* do.
Although I don't have a GC anyway, so that wouldn't matter.

See the beauty of this system is that it's not just me. If were me buying a Wii I probably wouldn't get one; it just too expensive for just one person. But with my brothers all pitching in it makes for a good family toy

And Wii will have Online service...how do you think you can download all those old retro games...and play some of them online with friends? >_>
I have played the Wii.... it's called TGS. Even if I hadn't, who are you to tell me not to judge it's games? It's called opinion - without it message boards have no substance and they become useless. That's like saying you can't have an opinion, good or bad, about anything that you haven't experienced to the fullest yourself. With your logic, the Wii games could be terrible, so you shouldn't be such a fanboy, because you're not allowed to like anything that isn't out yet, right?Adrian wrote:...have you played anything for the Wii yet?

And yeah it has "online service" but that means old games that we've played millions of times before, and now we have to pay for them. I haven't seen a single Wii game mention online capability.

I also love your completely failed attempt at humor and the choice to ignore all the rest of the valid points in my post except the sarcastic and unrelating opening sentance.
You sir, are a truely talented argumentalist.
