Wii = crap

i was bored and decided to go cruising around. i stopped at toy'r'us and noticed they had a Wii out to play with. the idea is cool and i was kind of stoked to see how it worked.
well, the system is slow, there is a noticable delay in moving the controller and any reaction on screen, and the graffics are crap compared to xbox360 and PS3.

i heard there are wrist straps that apparently go along with the wii and most toy stores and such that have it to demo dont use them because theyre fragile? apparently without them there is more of a delay then with? i dont know...

there was no wrist band on them, just the part you hold.

wii owns you

and the wrist strap is so you dont lose grip and throw the thing across the room, i dont think it has anything to do with accuracy.

I have the wii. I personally like it. With Zelda, I have noticed a delay, but there is an adjustable sensitivity for the controller, but I haven't messed with that yet.

and you can get the same game on gamecube - barring the nifty controller gimmick.

this is actually the first negative wii thing i've read. everyone who i know who has played it said it rules and they want one. my brother has been looking for one already. i get electronic gaming monthly, and they unanimously voted it as a better buy than the PS3 factoring price, available games, fun factor, and replay value.

The price is destroying the PS3, especially since no one really cares that it plays blu ray movies, and the games out there now don't really add anything beyond the xb360 catalog in terms of graphics, sound, etc. Sony (the proprietary format nazi's) will never learn that their first goal should be actually making the product the consumer wants (at the price they want to pay), and then their second goal should be doing what they want to do in terms of proprietary formats and preventing piracy. They always have it the other way around. Betamax, minidisc, umd, the "uncopyable" music cd debacle, and now blu ray. The jury is still out on blu ray vs hd-dvd, but i wouldn't be surprised if neither of them take off.

And nintendo DS is putting a hurting on the psp right now, and the wii and xb360 will collectively put a hurting on the ps3 imo.

You got that right




(taken from my 360, graphics are 20x better on the tv lmao)




You can choptop muscle cars such as the 69 charger, 69 camaro ss, 'hemi cuda, etc etc... its a shame we cant make the new Camaro Concept nicer on the 360 cuz its an "uncustomizable car" along side the Road Runner :-\

But, suprisingly... the Z06 is indeed the fastest car in the game, which makes it addicting =)
