Why not just buy ANOTHER console, instead of selling one for another? This I never understood: Whats the point in selling the Wii? Is $250 really going to make you that much richer? What are you gonna do the day a great game for the Wii gets released? I own a ps3 and wii and Im very happy playing/switching between both Call of Duty and No More Heroes every other day.

Yea theres a slight drought for the Wii right now, but for crying out loud, if you owned a gamecube or a xbox, which had droughts for YEARS, this shouldn't even faze you.

 

Some of us aren't rich. Leaving graduate school with $180,000 in loans I have to start paying off soon and trying to enter the wonderful world of freelancing in the middle of a recession, an extra $250 to $400 or more (really, this is very much on the low end even if you don't go peripherals because of sales tax on such a large item) plus $50 or $60 a game, say 5 or 6 games a year, is not a habit I can afford. One system, maybe. Two systems? It's called living within your mens. I know it's considered unamerican, but hey, considering the times we live in, we as a country really should start getting used to it.



My consoles and the fates they suffered:

Atari 7800 (Sold), Intellivision (Thrown out), Gameboy (Lost), Super Nintendo (Stolen), Super Nintendo (2nd copy) (Thrown out by mother), Nintendo 64 (Still own), Super Nintendo (3rd copy) (Still own), Wii (Sold)
