Originally posted by infinity HiGH not only that but all the movements you see on video are exaggerated to really show what the remote can do. Small wrist gestures will be enough in most cases.

I know. But still. I'm not against the idea. Just not my kind of gaming. I'm sure it tons of fun though...

Originally posted by infinity HiGH Not true. The Wii's line up is probably the best launch line up in the last 10 years. Nintendo is so smart releasing just 2 days after the PS3...let Sony get the hype for 2 days, then when there's no PS3's available, Nintendo launches their onslaught and everybody forgets about the PS3.

I think they have 29 games at launch, which I think is the most ever for any console. Plus doesn't launch have Zelda? Any Launch with Zelda will = Pure Gold.

But yeah, I definitely think the Wii will make a killing once no one will be able to get a PS3...or not willing to spend rediculous amounts of money.

Originally posted by infinity HiGH Sony shits on its fans yet again. Promise full backwards compatibility, then on the day of launch they come out and say "oh well its not FULLY backwards compatible"...lol...I wonder how long before those blu-ray lenses start crapping out on people

The Backwards compatability isn't that big of a problem. There aren't that many games that don't work. Majority of the problems are games where the music in the background is messed, or stupid things like that. The games are still playable. Plus majority of the games that have having problems are Japanese games.

You can go to the Japanese Playstation website and they have a list of every game that has problems and what problems they are.

They'll eventually be able to fix this through firmware upgrades or something. Give them time.

Yeah..the new GTA should be awesome, and definitely MGS4. I'm a huge FF fan so can't wait for FFXIII. Just got FFXII so i'll have to finish that game first!


PS. I'm not a Sony fanboy..I use to be. But i like all consoles. I'm not suprised if I eventually own all 3 consoles in the future. They all have something different to offer.

Don't worry man. You should be fine. It'll play most of your PS2 and PS1 games no problem right at launch. There are a few games that have sound or other minor problems. But thats it.

Plus majority of the games with problems are Japanese games. They'll also release an update (like xbox does) to fix this problem so overtime, all games will be Backwards compatible.


Note:

The new Silver PS2 is on sale for $135.00 at best Buy! I might just buy myself one and mod it so I can play all those PS2 games I haven't had a chance to play.

Here's the official Wii Launch List...if this isn't the best launch ever...then I don't know what is:

- The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
- Metroid Price 3: Corruption
- Wii Sports
- Red Steel
- Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam
- Madden 2007
- Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors
- Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz
- Metal Thug Anthology
- Trauma Centre: Second Opinion
- Elebits
- Marvel Ultimate Alliance
- Blitz: The League
- Rayman Raving Rabbids
- SpongeBob SquarePants: Creature from the Krusty Krab
- Disney/Pixar's Cars

So far those are games that are 100% confirmed (16 of them). There are others that are on the fence. Plus there all of the virutal games you can download..such as DUCKHUNT! woohoo...

when do u plan on begging to camp out? I was thinking about showing up at 3am would be early enough. They are handing out tickets at 7am

If you at 3am you definitely won't be able to get one.

Were probably going to go at 5pm at the latest...just drive around see. But most stores are (Best Buy) are probably going to be getting like 15-20 units.

Going to call tomorrow to confirm...but you have no idea how long ppl will campout to get these PS3s.

In the States, at one Best Buy, people were lined up for 9 days...

I heard about that that ... to me thats just insane. Don't people have anything better to do??

I dont even know if camping out from 5pm till the next morning at 7am is worth it ... how much do you think you will make? Not sure if its worth sitting out in the cold on a chance to make a few hundred

are u all 100% sure ull be able to resell those for as much as the presales are gettin sold for on ebay right now??

I'm sure you could easily sell it for $1,500US.

The reason is Sony has announced that they have cut alot of the US shipment. I think like EB Games and Gamestop has a reduction of 40% in what they originally expect.

Therefore, Supply is even further reduced, causing that much more demand.

It'll be fun to campout though. Going to go w/ a few buddies. Bring some poker chips, get some pizza...play some PSP...just hangout...

Shouldn't be too bad.

When is the next shipment of units supposed to be arriving?? after nov 17

Originally posted by Cro_Addict When is the next shipment of units supposed to be arriving?? after nov 17

Supposedly they said like 2 weeks after...

But I don't trust ANYTHING Sony says...and neither does anyone else.

I just want to be able to make enough to get a PS3 for free...

hey how bout those ppl that work at Best Buy or walmart or whatever....cant they get like first dibs on these units??

Legally no. Best Buy Employees are not allowed to get them...

However, what is legal, and what actually happens are two different stories.

When the 360 was launched, quite a few ppl got fired for buying and selling them.

Apparently in the States, employees are not even allowed to camp out at their own store. Legally.

I'm sure if you camp out at another store no one will know if your an employee or not. However if you do get caught, you'll get fired.

A lot of people are pissed that EB Games employees are hiding PS3s and stuff like that. So we'll see how it goes.

They'll be alot of money made this Christmas on PS3s.

that's an outdated list. metroid has been delayed until 2007 for some time now. Other than that though, seems pretty accurate.

Hey if i was in highschool and bestbuy was my shit job i wouldnt care if i got fired ... it would be more like "i got a ps3 who gives a fuck about my bestbuy job" ... jobs like that come and go. besides most of the staff is season there ... do you really think they would care?

Exactly what I have been saying for a long time.

Sony shits on anybody it makes money off of.

Personally I'm a fan of original NES, so when Cale told me about the Wii where you has an old school control to use and you can download old games...I want that!

Originally posted by exstasie I'll see you a PS3 for $1,500US... But yeah...it depends. If money's no issue then: If you like shooter games/Western (North American) type games -> 360 If you like crazy japanese, or JRPG style games -> PS3 If you like innovate, weird games -> Wii If you want stuff that has added features, like Blue-Ray, or HD-DVD..then its upto you.. I have a 360 and love it. It's good because its been out for a year now so developers have had time to work with it and stuff. You'll need to give the PS3 some time before they start producing some decent looking games.

360 it is

Perfect example of why the Wii will be a success. It has THE widest appeal of any console out there. Old school gamers, current gamers, and non-gamers all have something on the console.

And just wait till you see all the other "different" games on there; like the Cooking game.

Same here. Ever since the PS1 days.

Hey...maybe it'll teach me how to cook! Cale would be so happy

The Wii IMO will be a great success too IMO b/c of the old school aspect. I have a lot of friends who don't like current video games but love old school games, thus would buy a Wii. And it's WAY more affordable than PS3. Not to mention, video games aren't that high on my list of things I want...so I can wait it out 'til it gets a bit cheaper and buy it then.

The best move Nintendo did was to price it so low. The average consumer cannot afford a PS3. My the time you add the costs for all the accessories and games, it'll cost you $1,000...

For $400, you can get a fully loaded Wii w/ lots of Virtual games.

I would buy a Wii just for DUCK HUNT!! whoo hoo.
