What do you expect? There are fanboys that break controllers I personally saw some guy breaking the ps3 dual shock in best buy one day and trying to pop the analog out of its place. Then started laughing and ran away.

Thats why I hate fanboys.

 I doubt it was a fan boy. Being a jerk is universal to all humans. The worst display vandalism I have seen is a Laptop model was having its keys removed maticulasly (Sure hope I got that spelling right) by a group of 5 what seemed like Middle Schoolers. A Wal-Mart employee walked by without saying a thing.

Anyway - I play my SMG on a 19in. (I think) LCD. The game looks fine until I compare it to Half-Life2 Ep.2 while my brother is playing it on the PC.

I actually liked the wii mote, it was very comforable. Best nintendo controller I have ever touched.

  Upon re-reading your post, I don't know what the hell I was thinking.  You didn't say anything negative about the controller.  Sorry.  Sometimes I get all preachy, and I go looking for something to get on my soapbox about.  Still, get yourself a Wii.  20 minutes still doesn't do it justice!!



So you hadn't even played a Wii up until now? That's just sad. :P



Wtf, what happened to Leo-j?

I haven't seen playable Wiis in any store here (UK)yet, I have seen 3 or 4 stands just showcasing various games, but there is never a controller.

I have seen many 360 displays though, and most are playable.

I have seen 3 non-playable and 1 playable PS3 stand, the playable stand was clearly not set up correctly because PES08 looked terrible [I know it has framerate issues but the picture was bad too]
There is a playable wii stand in gamestation here in Birmingham, but it takes up a large area and you need to be supervised, but the display works well. Also a little off topic, there is an Xbox 360 arcade where you can gom and play 360 games in the basement of the same store (this is a massive store) where there is about 20 stands, I have only ever seen about 4 of them broke at a time, which I credit to being overplayed.

I'm pretty sure he has played a Wii before. He's mentioned it more then once. Or atleast I thought he did, then again maybe he was just talking about how he thought it was great... like when he called FF7 the best FF ever, even though he hasn't apparently played any of them yet.



Hmm? Why did Leo-J get banned? another ps3 fan burnt at the stake >.<

I have tried the Wii a few times and well... not my cuppa tea :P



  Unleash The Beast!  

End of 2011 Sales: Wii = 90mil, 360 = 61mil, PS3= 60mil

one reason the wii demo screens look bad

you're freaking like 3 FEET from the screen

i was in best buy yesterday and a guy was playing it- looks a bit pixilated, but he couldn't use the pointer for star bits because - due to where it was- he lterally was 3' from the tv...WAY to close

most comfy position imo is to be 6-10 feet from screen- which also makes the pixillated screen go bye bye for the most part.

 He got into a pm scuffle with someone he thought was HUS.  Someone was creating new accounts (pretending to be an insane Wii fan, pretending to be leo, soriku, carlos) and I think Leo attacked someone else.  So he got a little time out for it.  It's always best to take these things to the mods, I guess.  He's already unbanned now.

 

And...BTW....people get banned for a reason.  There is no witch hunt.  I'm sure you were only kidding, though. 



Didn't look pixelated on my friend's 60" HDTV.

Dead serious.
