| Kwaad said: With the Wii continuing to come out with new 'attachments' And requires so much to play as well, are things getting out of control?
For a 'party' Wii system. (what it's for right?) We will need to buy... 1x Wii - 249.99 429.93 That is what a Wii system will run you today. As things are starting to progress, we are losing our ability to keep downloaded stuff on our Wii? We are out of space, with old classic games! The new Wii-Ware is pushing the data so far beyond the hardware, it's not funny. Soon, we will be faced with 2 choices. 1. Start downloading only what we are playing, and second... well, spend 50-100$ for a external HDD. When you add in the base entry requirements, then add in the new 'HDD' that we will be needing... We are looking at a painful number, very close to 500$ to get the system completely built. Then there is the annoying trend, of games needing, special 'attachments' MK-Wii is a good example. If you wanna play 4-way, you will probibally want to pick up another 3, 9.99$ Wii-Wheel. Also, alot of games, you need, or will want the 'classic' controller. Which in the event of Smash, you would want 4... As the Wii-mote SUCKS on that game. So you add on, your 4 'classic' controllers, at 14.95! We are quickly comming up on 600$ just for hardware. On regards to the 360. Let's go with this one. It comes with your 20gb HDD, and the wireless controller. As let's use the 360 for the same situation, and play party games on it, to 'favor' the Wii in this, as the wii is meant for it, the 360, is more of a 'one person per console' online system. 1x X-Box 360 - 349.99 Ok, and as far as the 360 goes, that's all I can think of needing... just about ever. And that comes to 469.96$.That's about 100$ cheaper, than the Wii!!! How much more is the Wii gonna get that is 'necessary' to play the games?! (I do not count Wii-fit, as it is specific for the one game, and it 'expands' the original concept of the machine, and is not 'useful' in anything but the one application. *jumps in a swimming pool to hide from the rapidly approaching firestorm* |
You're not very smart
Buy Wii Play - it's an awesome deal
$429 is nothing, we in Australia pay approx $380 US dollars for just the Wii and a single wiimote+nunchuk
I bought my Wii at release - and have found no need for any classic controllers
You don't even know what the Wii's storage solution will be, maybe it will wirelessly stream your data to your computer. Anyway, I don't care about you - I already have an external harddrive. Surely most people either have one, or a USB memory stick
I own mario kart, and will never pay for 3 extra Wii Wheels - I'm fine using a Wiimote + nunchuck, or the gamecube controllers i had lying around, or using a Wiimote on its side pretending its in a wii wheel.
Now, moving on to how cheap the 360 is
you forgot to buy any games, the Wii comes with Wii sports and Wii Play comes with a Wiimote
you also forgot to shell out $60 a year for xbox live gold member ship, enjoy not being able to play your games online
oh wait, i forgot, you were too stupid to buy games.
Well done, you have spent $469.96 on a paperweight
The real count is as follows
Wii - $249
Wii Play (I'm just guessing how much you pay for it) $299
2 Wii Motes $379
3 nunchuks $439
Total $439
To get the equivalent on a 360
Console + 3 extra controllers $470
2 Games $570
3 years of xbox live Gold membership $720
Total $720
You sure put Nintendo in their place
