And did you hear about that PS3 craze? People were stampeding stores across America and someone got shot! There were also people stealing PS3s from people who already bought them! Whoa!!

Scary stuff. Especially if you camped out for the PS3. During the night, anyone could come up and rob the line. Too much money in one place, and not protected. I never saw lines for the PS3, but some of the ones for the Wii in my city were almost a block long! Which made me really surprised when I saw Toys R Us only having 5 people waiting. I could've got one, but I didn't want to sit in line for 2 hours, in the cold, with abnoxious, loud people dissing PS3s and boasting about almost having Zelda. I'm thinking of picking up a Wii the next shipment, there isn't seeming to be any problems, like the 360, so far. Some PS3's aren't truning on though, not something I'm willing to gamble for that money.

Reminds of when the PS2 launched. Wii was pretty big too. Honestly I didn't think PS3 would have such a huge demand, because of the price. I wish I could get both, but I doubt I could get one untill 2007.

As Metallix said, people are getting shot and PS3's are getting stolen. I saw on the news someone with a PS3 had to be escorted from the store (Best Buy) to his house. I think thats a bit insane... I haven't even seen any lines for the Wii. Eventully I'll buy Nintendo's latest console but untill then... Quote: I could've got one, but I didn't want to sit in line for 2 hours, in the cold, with abnoxious, loud people dissing PS3s and boasting about almost having Zelda. Ha, I'd stand in line around smug people. Hearing them bash the PS3 would be pretty funny, and I'd probably make a few friends talking about "Twilight Princess"
	To Anyone Who Cares: I'm leaving. For good this time. I thought I missed this place but no one talks to me and I feel like I'm not wanted so yeah... I really did love it here since everything went down here. But... Oh well. Guess I'll just stick to my crappy life where rumors are started about me saying I like to give blow-jobs to people and that I take intense drugs. Fun. I love anyone who loves me. =] ....Which probably isn't anyone. [/Cut.]

Thats crazy, sony really should have waited until they had enough systems. I also here that it heats up really fast and can overheat very quickly if you don't have it sitting right. Aside from that, I want a Wii. I asked my dad for an mp3 player for christmas but now I have strong reason to believe he is getting me the Wii instead, or possibly both.

I don't know about it overheating. I haven't heard anything about that, but on the topic of having enough consoles, they probably should have had more. Although it's not like they had lots of 360s or Wiis at launch. The Wii controller is a nice thing, but the commercial for it sucks! I saw the commercial and they were playing sports games! That's gotta be the stupidest thing for the Wii... If you're going to swing the controller you might aswell just play the sport in real life! Other then that, I think it would be cool.

	--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pacfan has left the building. There will be no return from me either. (Dubbmatic is my come and go account, as for this one, I want it to remain inactive, it symbolizes my solidified stay at Sonic Blast. To use it now puts it to shame) UPDATE: I have returned my name back to it's original form that most of you had come to know me by. It seemed more fitting. Good bye to any and all!

Well my friend has one and told me that ps3 stuff so I suspect it to be true. On another note, there was a shortage of 360's but there were plenty of Wii's and though some people still didn't get one at the initial launch, no one got shot over it. As for the controller, the movements you see most people doing are extremely exaggerated, to play most games, all it requires you do is flick your wrist to make the necessary movements in game.

Don't tell me what I can or can't do! Posts: 4,317 Group: Former Monarchs Member #13 Joined: April 13, 2006	I prefer the Wii over the PS3. Mostly cause I already have a 360.

Posts: 3,112 Group: E Rank Legend Member #59 Joined: April 29, 2006	I really don't know, if I'm lucky I may get one of them, and even luckier if my grandma decides to buy a new game system. But this is the thing, all my pros and cons I can think of: The Wii is the cheapest out of both The Wii features a unique controller Twilight Princess and some good games Wii will most likely not have some of the games I like due to it's unique controller capabilities, but the games may possibly be adapted The 360 will have some good shooting games and zombie games The 360 has good graphics Sonic 360 and some other good games PS3 is known to have good games All the good RPGs come out on Play Stations DDR also comes out on PS, and Xbox? Yeah... I like the Wii, I would like to get one, but some of the good stuff will be on PS3 and 360, and I doubt I'll get all them, and would be lucky to somehow get two systems.
