I hate these bundle deals. I don't want 5 of those games! I can see myself playing Resistance and maybe Marvel Ultimate Alliance, but screw it

I've seen PS3's of all flavors in a Wal mart super center, Best Buy and EB. No one cares.

Now the wii, that thing is a b!tch to find...

this thing is way too much money for the casual gamer. I look at myself as an example, I waited a year for it to come out so I could compare and decide between it and a 360. Now that it is out, there is just nothing that special to entice me to spend $700, so I bought a 360. I think that's what a lot of people are feeling.

Their price point has put them into a realm of niche player, not mass. I don't see this being a particulary spectacular launch for them.

LOL!! Whatta Rip! Walmart is teh suck!

Sure, I see it all clearly now... Pay a grand for a system that will essentially be obsolete in say....6 months?

Or

Buy a computer and have a setup that can stick around a few years longer for almost half that price.

Two Wal-Marts in a city about an hour or so from me, pop. of well over 500K or better, had a huge stack of PS3's in each..........and it was almost as if they couldn't give them away. And as for the Wii's...........none to be found and plenty of people asking for them.

XBOX360 is still my platform of choice.

Wii is fun for about 20 minutes and then I just want to sit down with my XBOX360 controller. I just hate hate hate Nintendo's game lineup. I feel like I am 8 again playing my NES, when Mario and Teenage Mutant Ninga Turtles were socially acceptable.

So it's only possible to have "socially acceptable" fun when you are shooting someone else in the head.

:roll:

I have played neither, but it would seem to me that Wii Bowling is quite a hit with the adult crowd. Cheesy avatars or not.

I got my kids both the wii and the ps3 last week.

The ps3 has been played a couple of times. The wii stays on almost all the time.

The games may seem kiddified, but they are really fun!!
Even my parents like standing up playing the wii.

Just one piece of advice, reinforce the controller wrist latch. I just used a nice strong piece of rope. They go flying in small sweaty hands.

As for the ps3?, it went back to walmart this morning. No since in spending that kind of money for nothing.

Eh, Xbox 360 to me is like a PC. Look at the games, they can be mostly found for PC.

Yeah, because it ALSO so socially acceptable to be watching a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle cartoon as an adult. Think about it! Watching a WWII movie = okay as an adult. Watching TMNT = child molester!

Yes I have actually, quite a bit. Did I say I am an expert? Don't put words in my mouth. It's just my opinion.

EDIT: You get quite defensive don't you? Do I dare say you are a fanboy?
