“Perhaps if they licensed the Wii technology from Nintendo....”

Nintendo is the true innovator here. They are being rewarded.

They can cut it to “free” and I’d still prefer to play on my PC.

Don’t need it. Don’t want it.

They can give the X box away for all I care.

MS is in a serious bind w/ the 360. Their sales have ground to a halt (this price cut was desperately needed during the last holiday season—if not another $50 off the “premium” package) and they are going to find that Sony is going to slowly build momentum and, I think, surpass them (and not nearly as far down the road as many might think.) Nintendo, however, has become a force unto themselves and this gen, effectively, is over insofar as who will come out on top (I would add that I am a “hardcore” gamer and the Wii and DS are breaths of fresh air in a hobby that has, somehow, managed to become more insular despite its huge increase in size over the past decade.)

A radio station in my town is giving away x-boxes just for going on their website and taking a survey.

I'll wait until they match the Wii price.

Until then we're loving our Wii.


We would like to play

I play on my PC while I watch TV.

$349 and guaranteed to break after 6 months. I was foolish enough to buy an XBox when they first came out, never again. When I took it apart, the DVD player in that thing was about the cheapest POS I ever seen in my life.

Man, those things are really expensive. I got the first XBOX in 2004 or so, and it was only $200. Those new ones are way out of my price range.

Actually, Playstation 3 is much more than a videogame console. It is an awesome networked media center for a home theather system. I can run my entire home theater through it - games, blu ray movies, music, photos. The controllers work through walls, networking is solid. I’m very happy with the unit.
