Who got it???

[Vipershark]

I played the Wii at the store. (I had to give the guy at the counter my driver's liscense so he would give me the controller, seeing as how they're motion sensing and not steal proof and all.)

I played Excitetruck. That alone sent me over the edge. I need a Wii. NOW. It's great.

yeah i did that at a gamestop near me, its really fun but im gonna wait to get one, probably until after christmas to see if the price oes down and see how much christmas money i get, then me and my brother are going to split it

[Dead Or Alive]

Sounds cool. I'm definetaly getting one.

My advice is visit other game forums and look at what people who have one are saying about there own. A few disappointed fan boys me thinks... ah well.

Do a search for GameDaily and go to the Wii/PS3 launch pad thing. I've just copied this from the site:

Graphics Really Do Matter

What defines "good graphics" is admittedly subjective and the level of visual quality expected by today's consumer is equally hard to gauge. However, when dealing with the next generation of consoles, a good percentage of consumers will look for something that "wows" them—sorry, Mr. Iwata, but we just haven't had the urge to say "wow." Many consumers want to have a console with graphics that will not only impress them, but also their friends and family. They want their new console to be a centerpiece for their home theater system. When looking for a showcase system like this, consumers aren't likely to pick up the Wii.

Now, Wii games certainly don't look bad; in fact, by current-gen standards they look quite decent. However, when compared to the top 360 and PS3 titles, especially on an HDTV, the Wii is blown out of the water. Games like Gears of War and Heavenly Sword absolutely pop and the Wii just doesn't have the CPU and GPU power to match that.

Its a good read apart from the first part about the lack of games which is pointless as the console has only just been born... time will tell.

I might get one after I get myself a PS3 for my b-day... Waiting for SSBB to come out, actually...

I got one and it pwns all systems. I check nintendo and sony forums and i see way mroe complaints in sony forums. Like how the PS3 shuts off without saving once it overheats. The wii mosts erious thing is "Wii Elbow" but that only goes to the lazy out of shape gamers.

I soon will be getting the greatest system ever made.

Those people are either stupid or have a point lol

The message: Be careful kiddy's I must say I'm impressed with the E-mail response from Nintendo about the snapping strap. Thats good customer support that is, you wouldn't see Microsoft or Sony doing anything like that for free. It was the same with the cracking on the DS Lites, they replaced them free of charge and addressed the matter quickly.

Thanks. You're reffering to me in that post.

Anywho, the PS3 only has problems because the people couldn't wait for one and wanted to get one right away....

[Nova]

The PS3 has problems with it components, which sony didn't tell us about. obviously they programmed the system to shut off when it overheated so it wouldnt blow up and take out and entire city (ps3 weighs over 7 pounds). so instead it shuts off w/o saving. i'm gonna check sony boards again to see of anything else

[inter]

lol the ps3 doesnt come out till march over here newayy
