Howdy everyone! I'm out here in my local circuit city freezing my bum off. Hands are cold so I can't type well...

Aaaanyway, is anyone else camping out for the Wii?

Just wanted to check in before the store closes.

Good luck...hope you're successfully.
 
Aaagh! I'd be there too but my leg is broken and I'm penniless! Life sucks without videogames. New videogames.

I hope you are doing it for youself and not to sell it. If all those people wouldn't buy them to sell them.. There may be enough out there so that people wouldn't have to spend so much on them... Not that I'm a Nintendo person though... Or a PS person.....

I'm not camping out, and I'm not getting a Wii. I'm also not getting a PS3. Too many good games to get for my current systems!

I must say though that if I were to get one of the new systems today it would be the Wii, since it has the better games. The PS3 only has one launch game that interests me: Resistance: Fall of Man. I'll probably end up buying both systems in a year or two.

On a final note, it seems to me that playing through an entire Zelda game (or any game for that matter) using the Wii-mote would be very tiring and annoying. I'm eager to be proved wrong though, so Est, post your impressions once you get a chance!
 
According to what I have read so far the games for the PS3's grafix are not as good as the 360.

I also read in the newspaper that the ps3 costs sony around 800 to make, and they sell for 600. They said they take a loss on the system because they know they will makeup for it with the games.

Personaly I still want a 360, but don;t want to dish out the cash for something I wouldn't play that much.

Goodluck Est. Do you know if they are going to have a metroid game out for the nintendo? That might make it worth getting. Metroid was the BOMB!!
 
Wii sucks. Nintendo hasn't had anything worth playing (except for kids 12 and under hahahahahahaha) since the SNES. They used to be king, now they're a "has been". Time to move over and let Sony take control of the market (as they have been doing):

Oh wait...those are all Playstation games...

I guess I can understand when people are diehard Nintendo fans (lets not forget, they started out making playing cards), as I used to be...until I got a Playstation. But spending that much on a system that MIGHT have 3 or 4 good games in its history (that wont be released on other consoles...)...I hope its worth it to you...

Whats up with Microsoft and the XBox? What good games did they have except Halo 1 and 2? Oh thats right...nothing.
 
When I was 18, I camped out three days for tickets to the Who. Times have changed.

Well, I dont' like any of the games you listed above. I like alot of racing games, wich my 360 (or xbox in general ...back compatable) has. I never even got "into" halo... Which I own but don't play. My brother has the PS2 yet we both prefer my xbox. (and now the 360 even more) But I have no problem with PS and Nintendo comming out with new consoles- It should help everyone stay on top their toes, and just keep comming out with some nice games. I do love the graphics of my 360 on a 57" DLP projection HD 1080p TV though.

I think the optimum difference of the 2 in resolution is 1080i (xbox 360) and 1080p (ps3) That's not much a difference, just less "flicker" to some peoples eyes. I've yet to see an actual comparison of actual video yet... But I'm sure that will soon be out. I think the PS3 has more "floating point performance" what ever the heck that is.. haha Bottom line, PS3 came out later than xbox360- You KNOW they were gonna up some stuff so the specs look "better" than the 360. But bottom line, "How's it look?" Like i said above... TBD

Dude! FFVII is the best game every made!

We could go back and forth all day long saying what game is the "best ever made". That's the beauty of being different.

Final Fantasy X is one of my few favorite PS2 Games, along with Starwars Battlefront 2

i like how everyone 'knows' wich system is best and wich will come out on top. Around these parts everyone says the wii will, but others say different. I find it all interesting that many think they have information that the others dont, and hat only if that information was stated, the choice would become obvious.

Here's my solution to the "which system is better" problem: I own them all! Haha!

Between my Gamecube, Xbox, Xbox 360, PS2, DS and PSP, I've played great games on all of them. Each system definitely has its own strengths and weaknesses, but to me games are games and I'll play what I like.

But we all know that Dreamcast was the best system ever made

Ok, so, I'm back. I'm tired. Very tired.

But I got a Wii! And I got Call of Duty 3, Wii sports (comes with the console,) Rayman, and... um... uh... rrr... Zelda! Right, yeah, Zelda.

Impressions? Sleep. Must sleep.
I'm leaving the initial playing to my little brother. ;)

If the PS3 is showing graphics short of the 360, keep in mind that these are FIRST GEN impressions. Games will come out that'll more fully utilize the full power available.

And yet they're still the same. Whether it be for a console, a show, whatever, it's all about the experience. It's about the end result, of course, but then there's the whole experience of having people around you, meeting new folks, and all that other good hoo haw.

Ok, so I'll write some more later when I'm less dead. >_> b

The Wii is Nintendo, so it's great for young people who'd rather play mario over GTA.

Depends on what games you want.

Uhhhg I cant see how you guys do that now if it was for an awesome band heck yes I would camp out.

As for the game systems, Prices got out ragous after a few years... and I ended up just not caring any more, why waste money on a game system where I fling my arms all over the place?

"exercising" yea but I can do that when I'm playing DDR, DDR is allot more fun than imitating a Bow... You can only imagine the dirty games they could come out with...

Hope you enjoy you're new systems...

I don't know I might have bought the Wii if they didn't give it such a stupid name. Thats like asking me if I wanted a Ford Escort.

I have not decided weather to get the Wii or the PS3 (Xbox360 is totally out of the question). I am going to wait to see which system will get better games.

I am a huge Resident Evil and Final Fantasy fan, so the verdict will most likey go to the PS3, but we will just have to wait and see...

For this holiday season, I will be getting the new Zelda game for the GameCube. Playing the new Zelda with the Wii controller seems too risky for me, I would rather stick with the traditional way of playing it.
