You know, I have been waiting to get one ONLY if I gain admission somewhere. Besides, with Rd 2 schools approaching I would have no time to play either of them anyways.

Both look like great systems. The last video game system I had was Sega Genesis!

Well I am a videogame addict, I got a 360 on launch day and I just got my Wii yesterday. Went all the way to NYC to the Nintendo store - I had a pre-order though.

I can tell you - the Wii is pretty awesome and I love my 360. I think I will pass on the PS3 for now.

And I really dont get to play all that much these days with work, apps, and class. I probably play 1-3 hours per week if I am lucky. Most weeks I dont even turn my systems on.

Its worth it - it is totally revolutionary in terms of game play. If you are a Nintendo fan I highly recommend it. And its even better if you have someone to play with.

LoL where did you find it? I heard they are hard to get.

I bought Zelda too, havent played it yet though - I hear its pretty awesome.

I played the Wii sports - it gets you used to using the remote. Its a little childish but a lot of fun.

I have not purchased either yet; no time to play.

The only game I really play these days is madden football. I will admit that the PS3 intrigues me, so maybe there will be some available when I finish my applications and finally have some time, maybe in January.

The 360 is awesome - I highly recommend both the Wii and the 360 - very different gaming experiences.

The 360 is like an Xbox on steroids while the Wii is in a league of its own.

I cant say anything about the PS3 because I dont have one, but I was not a big fan of the PS2 after I got my Xbox so I cant imagine I will feel the PS3 is all that great - I am tired of the controller too.

The 360 and the Wii are the way to go if you ask me.

Small, wireless functionality, everything is controlled by a "wand" you hold in your hand. So to punch someone, you actually punch in mid air - not just press up down up down triangle square. Its quite a cool system I must say, and I see it being a lot of fun when people really start taking advantage of some of its features. It absolutely needs the ability to play videos off a network now that a Wii video Converter has been made. DVD ripping galore here I come!

And then you can do silly stuff like this:



edit:

And yes, for those of you paying attention, I totally should be preparing for the GSB instead of fooling about on this toy. !(@#!(@ you Oasis, this is all your !(@#!(# fault. haahahahah...

"I want to come to the GSB for two reasons, first, the fundamentals offered, and second, wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii."

"Excuse me?"

"I'm sorry I got sidetracked."
