1. The arcade is a fart in the wind compared to the virtual console. More games, better game, and more variety of games could go so far.

2. I would also like to have had an explanation of the merits of the plans. Microsoft sure as hell did not give me one. Perhaps it was in the instruction manual. Perhaps my relative lost it. What I do know is Microsoft did not really explain that to me. What will I get for eight dollars a month?

3. The games on the 360 definately look better in the graphics area. Perhaps Wii games will look better in time, but for right now the games on the 360 look a lot better.


1. Except Arcade games are usually brand new games, and the old games are usually re released with new graphics and improvements. On the other side, Nintendo just puts the old games exactly as they are out on the Virtual Console.

Nintendo has more games because they have many games on previous systems, MS never had a system before Xbox so the fact that the retro stuff is much less abundant is to be expected.

A fart in the wind? Actual new games versus same old games. Which one takes more effort?

2. 50/12= 4 dollars and change not 8 dollars a month.

3. I really hope you don't mean Wii games will look better than 360 games in time, cause they won't, ever. Unless they are extremely stylized, there is no chance of any game on the Wii looking better than the good looking games of the 360, ever, not now and not in the future.


1. I suppose life just isn't fair some times. Nintendo has a huge retro library, and they are milking it. How does that change the situation? Why should the consumer care where the cow was slaughtered. I would rather play the likes of a Mario 64 over a Contra. Most consumers would. The excuse or justification simply cannot change the facts. There are more games on the virtual console, and better games. 2. I based the rate on their monthly charge given to me during registration. Remember I am on a gold trial card. Which means I might not opt for the service. I have yet to consider price plan savings. 3. The term A LOT means A LOT. You need to go back over the passage. Your reading into things that are not there.
