Thing that just made me want a wii

I'm a manager at Gamestop. My store manager gets to go to the conference every year, he just got back on tues. All EB and Gamestop store managers get to go.

I also have a friend who is a game tester for Activision in LA.

I guess my cousin went (hes store manager at Eb games)

oh great now johnny is gonna start running his mouth again.

Anyways just cuz I say it was crafted after a penis dosen't mean I fantasize about penises like you.

I'm not gonna argue with a "D' student.

I will go talk to a sandwich with a bit more dexterity than you.

You sure are one to flame. Kid.

And the Wii was based of a remote... Its unique and different and innovative. Heh, the PS3 still has basically the same controller, only now it has that tilt feature that I recall being in a certain controller for the PS1.

supa I was joking sorry if I offended you. back on topic.

and the D- grade was when we actually had spelling class, in 5th grade. I'm in 10th now.

I’m actually a b average student, not a genius but not an idiot.

that’s why I like Nintendo, there trying something new. maybe if Sony actually went through with the boomerang controller it would have at least been a change from the normal.

If I may quote Joe Dirt for a moment

Go practice falling down and I will be there in a minute

A television remote is not innovative, it's a television remote. The PS3 has a controller that people are familliar with and will be able to relate to. Unless you have spent your entire life on a couch (which I know you have JJ) and know your TV remote like the back of your pudgy hand then it will be hard to adapt to the remote.

What nintendo is doing is going senile with age. If Sony went through with the boomerang controller they would lose millions in sales.

What television remote have you been using? I've never been able to control swordplay, or swing a television remote to play baseball, or hold my remote like a golf club. So again I ask, how is it a television remote?

lol I'm talkin about basic structure, I never once said," my controller can be used as a sword"

[JustinWoodypond]

Who cares what the structure is based off of, it's based on that for a reason. Nintendo wants to reach out to people who don't typically play games. People use TV remotes on a regular basis, they're familiar with them. A typical video game controller is very intimdating to a non-gamer. So why not make a user friendly controller? Just because it isn't the norm doesn't mean it's a dumb idea.

what are people who don't typically play games doing with a 250$ wii?

[JustinWoodypond]

Um, why do people who don't play games spend $1000+ on a computer that they use for browsing the internet? Or why do parents buy their children $300 iPods when they own 3 cd's? Because people spend money. $250 is not very expensive so don't even try and use that. It cost $40 to fill up an average tank of gas. $250 is nothing to the world anymore.

$250 is not very expensive so don't even try and use that.

money isn't the point... but if you wanna get into it, when it comes down to it, if they aren't a savvy gamer and money becomes tight then a bad-ass gaming system isn't an option, I don't have a super hyped up comp or a bad-ass ipod, I am scramblin for money all the time. Were do you live? Beverly Hills?

Ok, so if money is tight, and you want to start gaming lets look at your options.

1. PS3 for $600
2. Xbox360 $400
3. Nintendo Wii for $250

Now, what is going to be a more pleasant experience for a non-saavy gamer? I'm guessing the Wii.

I have been saving up for the PS3 for 2 years now, anything extra I get or make gets thrown in the ol' money jar...


oh and when you buy a 360 your not paying for the Console your paying for the name, the same can be said about the Nintendo, so minus the cost of paying for a Nintendo product and it comes out to about 100$

because if it was the "Magnavox wii" no one would care...

Do you understand what a profit is? Why would anyone waste their time when they dont get a profit? A horrible mistake MS and Sony are not doing. 360 cost $567 to make, PS3 $980. They take a loss, they're idiots.

ok the motion sensing equiptment has got to cost at leats $200 that sh*t aint cheap
