Nothing, I only buy good stuff.

I'll probably get flamed for this... but I'll answer the question honestly.

I sold the Wii pretty quickly after I bought it. I own both HD consoles and I just plain enjoyed the experience on them more. I found the Wii to be too much like the GameCube, with more titles that I don't care for. Everyone and their grandmother owns a Wii, so it's not too difficult for me to play Wii games if I want.

Mario Kart Wii was my final straw in selling the system, and I wanted money for other things. My favorite multi-player modes were taken out of the game.

Maybe Zelda (real Wii version) will convince me to get a Wii again, but for now I'm sticking to GameCube.

However, the Xbox 360 ended up being a purchase that has impressed me more than I originally would have thought. Once all the Halo stuff was out of the way, I've enjoyed it much more. Oh yeah, I guess Halo 3 would be another one to add to the list. I sold it after finishing the SP campaign and COD4 was right around the corner, which trumped it in every aspect IMO.

The 2008 line-up for the Xbox 360 has been one of my favorites in gaming history.



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials

FireWarrior: Got it for $10 and I still felt ripped off. That game was a crock of shit.
Metroid Prime Hunters: Can anyone say average run'n'gun? I have heard the other primes are better though.



Ninja Gaiden: Sigma and Tekken 5

I bought them when there was a drought of good games on the PS3 and i was desperate for anything.

Oh, damn I almost forgot FF8 (PS1) and FFX (PS2). Damn, those games sucked hard. I managed to make it to disc 2 on 8 before I just couldn't play that POS anymore. Then I tried to get back into the FF series with X and only managed a couple of hours with it before I had to stop playing. (at least X I bought with a giftcard, so it wasn't really my money I used ;-p )

 I can see FF8, that game is kind of polarizing, but FFX?? Really? Personally its my favorite Final Fantasy, easily one of the best stories out of the entire series.



I own all three current consoles and a great gaming rig, now thats out of the way.

"Why post something like this when all it will get is PS3 owners blinded to reality replying? BOTH THE PS3 AND BLUE-RAY WILL NOT LAST 3 YEARS! TECHNOLOGY CHANGED TOO FAST!"

"is it Wii FIt that has sold as many as PS3's sold? Thats a LOL Look at the total sales of software is it just me that sees Nintendo titles hitting 10m+ and you say they arent making a difference? Another LOL!"

"Hell, with all the negative hype Sony spin, people just aren't interested cost is too high and to get the true HD experience (1080p, 7.1 surround) you will need a $1000+ system. THAT IS GOING TO DO IT IN A RECESSION! PS4 will not happen"

My favorite FF games are the SNES ones. That's when I started playing FF games. After that it all went downhill. FF7 wasn't too bad at the time (I haven't played it since maybe '98) although the long Summon sequences were agonizing, but FF8 was the game that made me stop playing "new" FF games altogether. FFX had terrible characters (IMO) and I could never actually like any of them. blitzball blew, so much other stuff too...

I still love the characters in FFIV and FFVI and that's why I still love those games today.
