AHAHAHAH, So your saying, even though the commercial says it starts at $399, and I can pick one up at Walmart for $399, thats a lie? LOL. Obviously you like to live in your little cartoon fantasy world, and if you honestly enjoy watching Nascar, HA! So, your saying, if you were to go shooting, you'd go hunting, but your against killing, well bro, I have your solution, PLAY A SHOOTING GAME there's no real killing! ITS THE PERFECT SOLUTION! You my friend, are one crazy a$$ hippy, have fun destroying cartoon characters. Why do you even own a console, shouldnt you been out there swimming with the dolphins? Come on man, they are lonely! And those tree's need huggin! Can't forget those, or maybe you could go to the pond and feed the ducks? What about them? Or you know what, I'm sure there is some oil spill somewhere for you to clean up, don't want them penguins dying!

You crack me up, you like Nascar, are against killing a GAME unless of course its a cartoon character, then your perfectly fine with it. What is the world coming to?

P.S. Does nintendo explain WHY the Wii is at $250 when it only costs them $150 to make? WHY don't they tell you that your getting screwed over?


No, the commercial is a lie because they leave out all the features the 40GB has; 2 USB ports, some SD slots or whatever, and Backwards Compatibility (you have to find that out for yourself either by checking online or looking at the box).

I never said I LIKE Nascar; I said you can watch Nascar on TV without having to play a racing game. Isn't that real enough than GT5? I also gave shooting games as an example because I'm against killing. I hate war and fighting. I can say the same thing about your Halos, your Resistances, your KillZones, your Hazes etc. because it's the same thing with a different coating of paint on it; you pick up a gun and shoot an opponent. Big whoop. So easy that Paris Hilton's dog, Tinkerbell, could've done it to itself.

I had Metroid before (a friend gave me it as a birthday present), but I sold it to the store for money. Why? I get motion sick. I'm not buying a video game and playing it on my HDTV, especially on an HD console. That's one reason I don't own an HD is because the clarity makes me motion sick. Even my GCN and Wii games make me motion sick at times because I own a component cable.

And the Wii is a console meant for fun and fun only. It's not to show off your money and make a pretty picture. The Wii was meant for interaction with the gamer, friends/family and the game. The Wii has Nintendo mascots on it, something that Sony nor Microsoft have at all. You go play your Resistance game and tell me when you lose some weight. Obviously that game requires you to sit on your ass and play. And if the Wii is a fad, then how is this fad creaming the competition and hasn't died down one bit? How is it that your company (Sony) is in the red and has stripped itself from what it once was? Why is it that Nintendo has surpassed Sony in gaining marketshare? You go tell yourself why you own a console that doesn't have any good games out on the market, let alone some delayed franchises and some people in the world don't have the slightest clue about because it doesn't appeal to them. Sony and Microsoft are a dying breed when it comes to their systems strengths; hell, my computer is more powerful than your PS3, so you fail.

 In the Wii ads do they tell you your getting a 5 year old processor? Or how about the Gamecube GPU overclocked? Do they tell you anything about the Wii specs? No, your argument about advertising fails.

Watching something is nothing like being a part of it, and for those who can't get into nascar but want to be able to play a game like it, thats what the game is for. Obviously your against all games that are life-like, but the second Pokemon comes on the screen your all for it. The PS3 has 100+ games, Sony had profit last quarter, let me ask you this, what else is your Wii good for? Can you enjoy a HD movie on it? How about listen to music while browsing the web on it? Can you plug any kind of USB toy into it and have it work? Can you keep a ton of music, and movies on it? How downloading demos, movie trailers, game trailers? I didnt think so, if you think swinging your arm is exercise you need a reality check. How about your computer, what kinds of games are on it, the exact same as on 360 and PS3, so why would you care? And you neglected to post your Processor, why because it is probably inferior to that of the 360 and PS3, how about the price of your computer, well over $1500 I'm sure. Like I said, your against all life-like games, that's why you like Nintendo. Apparently you don't have any real concept about games, you don't understand the different genres, all that matters to you is that at the end of the day, Pikachu is on the screen.


Username2324, I agree with you that his calling the $399 price a "lie" is completely wrong. However, you are reacting to it in a completely wrong way. The $399 PS3 is gimped. It has no BC. But it still plays PS3 games, and it still plays Blu-ray movies. I would never get a PS3 without BC, but it is noe 'core functionality'; it's like calling a $15,000 pricetag on a car a "lie" because that model doesn't have a sunroof. There is no need to bash the Wii, or Wii games, or Wii fans; or count PS3 games; or say that Sony turned a profit (despite massive games division losses no doubt); etc. You are being at least as irrational as he is when he throws in "well my PC has better hardware LOL" for no reason. And worse, when you spread yourself out over so many subjects, you tend to be just dead wrong on some points. A PC with those specs may have cost $1500 or more a year or two ago, but now any more than half that would be getting ripped off. And if his CPU is comparable to the rest of his hardware I'm sure it blows the 360 and PS3 both out of the water, probably both of them combined. At least until Vista Ultimate drags its performance into the mud. Long story short, lighten up, and check my sig -- "Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false ... you will be happier, and we will be happier."

 actually I will even admit current PC hardware doesnt match the PS3's processor's strength. The PS3 and in a lighter sence the 360 can out perform a $4000 at the moment if developers had a rough clue wtf they were doing. I'm not saying that they can manage Crysis level graphics but considering Crysis runs like crap on the alst generation of PC hardware and even the 3870x2 only can manage an unstable 50fps with it and most likely the 360 and the PS3 could run it an stable 30fps, if coded correctly, it wont be till Nvidia and Intel release their new beasts (QX9770, and the 9800 GX2) that PC will top consoles again.

 And this is coming from PC fanboy and I will admit that the consoles are stronger then PC.

I like the old abstract PSX commercials alot better. This new one just seems like "Hey teenagers, here's some guns and a heavy metal song! Buy PS3!"

*is wondering how many people will come in and explain to me that that isn't heavy metal, and then give a list of examples of what real heavy metal is*

 The pleasure is al mine:

Ladies and Gentlemen is the first single from Saliva's fifth studio album Blood Stained Love Story. The song has made it to #2 on the US Mainstream Rock charts. The song is one of the heavier cuts of the album, and is a hard rock song. The music video was released on March 19, 2007.

 

Don't know if I trust wikipedia on this one cause it sounds alittle like Nu-Metal :D

Username Nintendo charges 250 dollars a Wii because it sells out. Kind of like any business would do regardless of manufacturing costs. Would you criticize Sony if the sold the PS3 at 599 and it was constantly sold out even if ti cost 350 to make?
