The Wii with my 42" Panasonic Viera Plasma looks great, but make sure you are using the component cables. All the games people say won't do 16:9 have on my TV and still look great. BTW, I have a 360 and PS3 as well, so it is not like I have nothing to compare to.
I figured it would be easier to get a Wii System then it would to get all the accessories. So I went into my Walmart and while all the pre-order people were waiting in line to get their system I asked another employee if I could just buy stuff as I was not waiting for a system. So I bought 3 of the 4 remotes and nunchucks they had and 1 of the 2 Classic controllers. The pre-order line of people were not to happy. Later that day I walked into EB and bought my Wii. I haven't seen any remotes or nunchucks on the shelves since around here.
I have used XBL since 2003 (RainbowSix 3)and have been very impressed with it. The thing I love to hear is the people that say "wait for Sony's online service to get fleshed out." Read my first sentence, 2003! That is 3 years for Sony and Nintendo to come up with online services to rival XBL and what do we have? Not much. These services should have been ready to go with the launch. To me that makes it seem like online is still an after thought to these companies.
I would be happy if the only thing they (Sony/Nintendo) provided was a friends list and ingame/lobby chat and invitation. Lets get on it.
I agree, kids should not play M rated game for obvious reasons. But if those GTA ads are the same as in Canada then they are drawings and title art. Why can't a company advertize to me? I am an adult and I ride the subway. Does this mean there should be no alcohol ads or anything advertized that is aimed at adults to purchase on the subway as well?
