You just did...?

bleh

@1st paragraph: I agree, if you're going to push it as HD and include a Blu-ray player, include some cables that let you use HD.  Just a quick question -- are there any other Blu-ray or HD DVD players that come with composite cables?  Just how stupid would that be?  And if people are going to argue that $15-30 isn't much to spend on cables for a $400-500 console, the flipside to that is that a cable that costs $5 to make isn't much to include in the box for a $400-500 console.  If that's where they're trying to save money, they might as well not include cables at all -- after all, it's not that much for you to spend, right? :P

@2nd paragraph: I've played the HS demo twice at kiosks, and I must echo your opinion once again.  It's boring, confusing button mashing.  Since I only own a Wii, I make it a point to try out game demos for the other consoles whenever I'm in a store that has them available.  And yes, demos are supposed to give you an impression of the final game -- why the hell else would they have them?  Thus far, I've played demos of Heavenly Sword, Motorstorm, and Gran Turismo HD, and all of them have been big disappointments.  At least for GTHD, I know that they're spending another full year or more on GT5, and I've seen videos showing drastic improvements -- but the other games are finished.  Demos are supposed to make me want to buy the game and/or console, not make me want to avoid buying it.

Well first of all this is a complete redirection of the thread. You want to make this about something else so that you can once again avoid the topic. The fact that Montana applauds your push off topic is not exactly comforting.

To answer it briefly: If you or anyone else wants to purchase and post your Wii impressions feel free. But the problem is that you and many others seem to believe that a point by point rebuttal is the same thing as a broad and sweeping bitch fest. Its not, with very few exceptions the responces to twestern have been bitch bitch and bitch some more rather than debate, rebutt, and debate some more. If you can't figure out why the two are treated differently that is not my fault.

And I am glad to see you finished your post off with more moaning about how the PS3 can never get a fair shake and the Wii is treated special here. Actually the Wii has supporters who can actually hold down their end of a debate without descending into a fit of whining and complaining. Notice how that was exactly what I was requesting from people? Notice how I haven't supported a single one of twestern's conclusions because I haven't had the hands on with the console to make a judgement...and notice how with exception of some early short posts and slorgnet's post there has been nothing but bitching from the pro-PS3 side so far.

Yes I can really see how you make your case for yourself...nice job.

Now can we end this mod-supported derail of the thread and is there anyone else who has a thoughtful opinion of the OP, contrasting or corresponding? At this point I would prefer a contrasting viewpoint to add some balance.

PS - Montana your assertion that you were kidding is absolutely bogus. I've really gotten tired of giving you the benefit of the doubt only to be dissapointed and I'm just not willing to do it this time. The context of the thread and the demeanor of your post was far from joking.

Or was this a joke too? "Twesterm rarely posts something constructive, so why the double standard?"

Actually I can tell you precisely what it was, and what many of your posts in this thread and others is classified as. Its called sardonic sarcasm. Look it up. Its not a joke, its a way of being rude and maintaining the ability to claim that you were joking.

I find this just a little amusing coming from someone that is infamous for non-constructive posts.

All I get out of your long winded effort is. Blah Blah Blah Blah.  Go play wif your Mii and compete with all the other soccer mom's and grannies.  

I actually know plenty about modern pirates.  Anyone would result to cannibalism if they were hungry enough.  Mercenaries and Terrorists would also never kill their own men to reach their goals (aside from the occasional Jihadist, but even then they kill themselves, not others.  The kiddinapping children of the poor is pointless either, cause i never said they were nice.  Just that anyone who isn't a sociopath knows that shooting at someone in melee is the easiest way to get yourself killed because even pirates have to work with each other, and no one wants to work with someone who is going to shoot at them.  The soiciopaths who don't know this either get kicked out, or killed for being sociopaths.  Usually in the case of a place like pirates, killed.  Because, like you say... more money to go around.

Oh my god, you just mention things which I will hate... please, please tell me the BC is okay, or isn't? At times I regret buying it to be honest... while I don't even have it in yet. And that also with paying a freaking high amount of taxes! The damn console cost me more than in the Netherlands. I think in the end I'm better off with my WII and am afraid I bought the PS3 way too soon, only because freaking Sony had to remove the BC! Fucktards they are. *Pardon me*.

 Thank you for proving my point.
