    Anyone buying a PS3 or a Wii?

    Frenzy time!
     
    We've decided to bypass the $600 PS3 and grab a Wii when we can. I love nintendo and not playing the new [color=#009900]ZELDA game is simply not an option lol. I am excited about the new way of controlling the games tho doubtless you will look like an even bigger idiot swordfighting in your living room while holding a little white remote lmao...[/color]
     
    Best part of this is my husband will likely be able to get a Wii free with his "points" he accrues thru his job at BofA. That's how he got his Xbox360. It even came within a month of the release when "no one" could find one.
     
    The eBay prices are incredibly inflated..sheesh....a bit of patience and you could have it for retail!

    i am a playstation die hard, but the price is going to have to come down significantly on the ps3 before i can get one.

    i have even considered converting to the darkside and buying an xbox 360, but i just cant do it right now.

    No, dont do it, the dark side will consume you, is evil, follow the light, just be patience and follow the light [;)]

    My son wants the Wii. He's been saving his money. Hopefully, he'll be able to get it because he saved his money for the new X-Box and he never got it.

    They SAY the Wii won't be short shipped by Nintendo so that should help. The first batch ALWAYS have bugs so I think we're waiting a few weeks to see what happens there.
     
    I love our 360...very nice gaming system. My heart still belongs to the Sega Dreamcast tho....well and to Link, hubba hubba!

    Heck no! I am not spending 600 dollars on a game, my budget does not leave for so much, and if it were just that, but even the PS2 games are till 55 bucks new. I'd go broke!

    I dont see a huge difference between the old xbox and the new 360, it was an improvment but nothing that you could see with old xbox games, the only thing is that now all the 360 games look like the great old xbox games

    When I can buy a computer for less than a game system it's not worth my money... no PS3 for me[8D]  Besides, $600 is more than I made in the last two months and I am not going to waste it on something like that.  Just give me an old original nintendo with mario and duck hunt and I'll be happy.[;)]
     
    I like my computer over anything for games and stuff like that.  I can take my laptop with me anywere, watch DVDs on it, play games, go online, chat, do my homework and more.  Much more useful than any game system IMO.

    My DH is playing Gears of War right now. Amazing looking game. Once graphics get to a certain point you are not going to notice much difference IMO, but this game even impressed me lol. I like the 360.

    ditto! amazing console well ahead of its time (and easily hacked[;)])! still play mine on occassion. i think its biggest downfall was having their games on the gd-rom format. i hope sony's new system doesnt fail for similar reasons (blue-ray).

    i will stay loyal to sony if for no other reason than... gran turismo.

    What the heck is Wii? I've got the first nintendo, Nindendo 64, Game Cube, Game Boy advance, Playstation and Sega.  But I have not heard of Wii.

    I still remember the first time I played Soul Calibur on Dreamcast.
     
    The ONLY fighting game I have ever liked.
     
    Ivy...I mean...whoa...right? And that move of Sophitia's where she erm...sits astride the opponents face and then breaks their necks with her thighs...lmao! Good lord...
     
    I also finished the Sonic game they put out...that was so fun...and we even had that stupid mouse and cat game lmao!

    the new ps3 is going to be half computer and half gaming system from what i understand. also, i know of a few people who hacked their original xbox, and use it to surf the net as well as play games.

    Angel the Wii is NIntendo's newest gaming console.
