For the love of god! What the hell is wrong whit you? Or you like the Wii or you hate it. I am a HAR CORE Gamer I play game all of my free time and I am getting a great experience from my Wii.

I don’t like the Xbox 360 and I am not getting one because of this mayor factor:

Bad
1) The Xbox over heats and wen it dose it get the 3 ring of death. ( THER IS NO SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM!) If I pay $399.00 for a freaking console I expect it to works not to die a moth after I bot it. And the crap of sending it back to Microsoft unnecessary to repair it and if you don’t have the warrantee you have to pay 200 to get a console repair that is already set to break.
2) Almost all of the game in the Xbox are shooter three is not a lot of originality and a lot of repetition.
3) I have to pay for the online.
4) The game are to expensive.
5) The major franchise and exclusive that they have are Halo and Gears of War.
6)Three are to many version of the same consul. One is enough!
7) Not a lost of exclusive.
8) Need to pay 100 for the Wifi adaptor

Good
1) Online is pretty good but I have to pay .
2) A lost of game.
3) A large community in Xbox live.
4) Great graphics

The Wii

Bad
1) There are a lot of bad game in the Wii. ( But you don’t have to buy all of those game!)
2) No hard drive. ( We are getting that major update in the SD card slot)
3) I have to pay for the Nunchuk
4) Not a lost of graphics

Good
1) The online service is evolving it getting better as the time passes for Exampel the Conduit and Monster Hunter 3. ( The friend code are not necessary for a game to be online for example Boom Blox 2, Conduit and Monster Hunter 3)
2) Wii has a better lineup for 2009 that the Xbox and better game.
3) More 3 party are getting involve in Wii and a lot of mature game are coming.
4) Nintendo is going to offer some of the Best game in E3 and they all reedy seed that Pikemen 3 is coming
5) A lost of the multi platform game are getting a better treatment than the Xbox version. ( For example Guitar Hero and Shaun white snowboarding)
6) Virtual console ( A lot of retro games )
7) Wii Ware is getting a lost of game and very original (for example World of goo )
8) We have voice chat! Is up to the developer to use that.
9) Wii plus (Better controller)
10) The graphic are getting better in Wii ( Example the conduit and Mad World )
11) The Wii has not reach its maximums potential.
12) We are getting that major update in the SD card slot and getting memory.
13) There are a lot of great game that have not ben imported to america yet. ( Example Disaster day of crisis and Tasuku vs Capcom)
14) Nintendo is learning from three mistake. Not like Microsoft and three broken console.
Online is free!
15) We have a inter net browser.
16) We have the original Mii not that copy of the Xbox the (avatars).
17) Sterilize graphic for the Wii.
18) A lost of exclusive game from 3 party and Nintendo are coming for the Wii.
19) Include Wifi.
20) We are getting video on demand service in the Wii.
21) A manga channel for the anime lover.

In conclusion I fink that the clear winer is the Wii for me. The Xbox is trying to copy the Wii. If that what you want an Xbox is because you like shooters, like Halo or Gears of War and pretty graphic that it! There is not another reason you want the Xbox exempt for the online. If you have money to waist and spend go right ahead and buy an Xbox. This alway bothers me you give so much crap to the Wii but you don’t see the faults of the Xbox.

what u missed starting from the top

1)it doesn't over heat any more because of a chip called the falcon(witch stop the "the game or frezze" that doesnt happen if u dont play it 3 days in arow". and u dont have to pay to send it back

2)the xbox has more than just those kind of games(the box is mad for hardcore gamers anyway)
3)so what its the price of a game for a year(shour the could have made it cheaper)
4)your paying for more than just the game(like file share,video share and more)
5)thats what makes a game console sepred from the rest.we hae more exclusive games(pin point on the wii and there exclusives like(mario,pokemon,Mario)
6)diffrent versions sute what kind of gamer u are.
7)i think u mean not a lot of exclusives(we have alot of exclusives go search it)
8)one the adaptor is 87 and its not a good anyway(its for a no cord hook up when your modem or router is at the other side of your room)

Good
1) Online is pretty good but I have to pay .(great on line better than any other system thats why u pay for the price of a game for a year)
2) A lost of game.(u mean lots then why u say that we dont have that many games in bad)
3) A large community in Xbox live. (thats why u pay)
4) Great graphics
5)MarketPlace(mostly free)
6)over 200 games
7)windows exstinder
8)RRod is over
9)had live chat witch wii is just getting,also video chat.
10)enchancing it self every day
11)music
12)dvd playback
13)netflix
14)hdmi

n conclusion.were not copying no need. I just got halo 3 we have more games than that and the graphics is really good even with out hd(i have both stander and hd). Online is good and we dont have codes like wii or have to do a lot like ps3. its not that much for nxt gen. and its a good buy if pay for it u get the best. and the last thing u said gave me a big ? what did u mean

The falcon is not the problem is the design of the Xbox thats Maintains the heat inside and that is way some time the Xbox fan is so laud. It is till over heats that, is crap that happen to all of the Xbox. You have to pay if you don’t have a warrantee. I seed that in the beginning, Pay attention!

Mention me those Hard Core exclusive you are taking about!? Tha are Not Halo and gears of wars!
Like file share,video share and more. Like What? I need example and explain?

6) different versions is suttee for what kind of gamer you are. Ok I respect that, that is a good point.
Mention to me those exclusives! And not halo and Gears of wars.

The adaptor is $100.00
http://www.gamestop.com/Catalog/ProductDetails.aspx?product_id=40678

The video chat not a lot of game us it and it short circuitry essay.

Enchancing it self every day. What the hell is that?

The friend Code are not necessary. That is up to the maker of the game. That was at the star of my argument.

I seed gave me a big? Were was that?

...If you don't have a 360 then don't tell us about how much you hate it...Because if you don't have one then you don't know anything!

I love my 360 mostly for just one fact:
The online is GREAT...I don't feel like sitting here for hours telling you all that I like about online! Just compare 360 online with Wii online...
(& I love CoD:WaW)

...Oh & most everything you said about the Wii, the 360 has as well...I can put video, pictures, music, ext, on my 360 strait from my computer (No SDmemory card or anything) My 360 has never given me any problems! Now, you are entitled to your opinion, & so I most respect that!

You don't have to buy a wireless adapter, I just bought one a month ago and I used an ethernet cord. It plugs right into the back of your router.

The 360 is sensitive to airflow restrictions. This cases to be a loud fan

The 360 still breaks. This was last discussed in the last To Catch an Editor potcats of IGN. http://www.ign.com/index/podcasts.html

256md IS NOT CONSIDER A HARDRIVE! This is the a flash mamory. The wii has 512MB flash memory

Flash Memory: It is a technology that is primarily used in memory cards and USB flash drives for general storage and transfer of data between computers and other digital products.

Yo seed that the Xbox 360 has a large games catalog I am selling that the Wii has a large catalog too and a lot of those game are crap like the Wii.

My question is that what are other GRETA Hard Core exclusive that are not Halo and Gears of wars? PLES ASER MY QUESTION!

You didn't seed that it was in Amazon and that it was Use. COMPLETE INFORMATION!

I now that three is a lot of version of the Ps3 but I am seeing that that only model in THE MARKE that are being produce is the 80g I seed that in my past argument.

Pleas read the all of the information nerd

“If you don't have a 360 then don't tell us about how much you hate it...Because if you don't have one then you don't know anything!” from RevosBro

First is not that I hate the Xbox, I hate people that fink that the Wii is not a good console or weaker in comparison to the Xbox. and that is a Defective console.

This is a Forum that I did in repost to other Forums topic coment

Ok, I admit that I don’t have the console, but I have play a lot in the Xbox to ondestan it failure or weakness and it success. I bet I can understand better the Xbox than many person that have the console. My little brother had and Xbox 360 of 80g and it broke (3ring of death)

By the lake of the argument that you wrote in your post I can sea that you have no idea what it was seed in this forum.The online of the Wii is not weak is the same crap as the Xbox. Like I seed it up to the developer to have a great online expiries. This is not the Wii is the developer. A great example of this is Medal of Honor 2, Mario kart and Guitar Hero. For the exception of the Voice chat but whit wii speak is now up to the developer to include this in future game. And it free!

“Oh & most everything you said about the Wii, the 360 has as well...I can put video, pictures, music, ext, on my 360 strait from my computer”
You don’t read the post! Read the last Post before you can argument. You CAN by using Orb ( http://www.wiiliketopodcast.com/wiiteachyou/streaming_media_to_your_wii )

But I really like that you seed “Now, you are entitled to your opinion, & so I most respect that!” and for that thanks and I respect yor opinion and of all users. =)

to me you sound like a hipocrit because before you were talking a lot of crap about the 360 and now you say you don't hate the 360. i agree with you on that the wii is #1 no matter what but it doesn't have all the the bells and whistles but it makes up for most of them with motion control. hopefully all the 8th generation consoles will have motion control (sony and microsoft have only minimum motion control [ steering you car shaking it to do certain things] and nintendo will have what they have now) and you are right about the 360 not having 3 hard drive versions but there are 3 versions arcade pro and elite. AND THE FAN ISN'T LOUD ANY MORE, my 360 isn't loud. the ps3 does not have only 3 hard drive versions it has FIVE hard drive versions the 20 the 40 the 60 the 80 and the 160, but there are 3 game packs the motor storm pack the uncharted pack and the metal gear solid 4 guns of the patriots pack. and the other hard core games are the fable series and the elder scrolls series and a couple others. and i did say you you could put videos pictures and music on the 360 i didn't say you could put music or movies in you wii i also didn't say you could connect your computer to your wii. and last i do read all the posts before i post again

world of warcraft has taken another victim -_-

ahh well this is my opinion

(better) 1. Xbox 360
(best) 2. Wii
(Okay) 3.Ps3

The wii is very fun but good games are rare to find and the graphics are bad.
The Xbox 360 has very good graphics excellent games and a DVD player but you have to pay 100 dollars for the wireless cable and you have to pay to play online with to me sucks.
The PS3 has a bu ray player :)good graphics and free online play but the games are not too bad but need to improve it weighs like 20 pounds and the price needs to be lowered.

Good games for the Wii- Super Smash Bros Brawl, Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess, Call Of Duty: World At War, Wii Fit, Bloom Blox, and Super Paper Mario.

Good games for Xbox 360- Gears of War 2, Halo 3, Call Of Duty 4, World at war, Dead Space, Left 4 Dead and Fable 2.

Good games for Ps3- Bioshock,IDK,ID really K

Overview- Wii 9.0/10
360 9.3/10
PS3 8.5/10

I think the wii and the Xbox 360 are both equally both good systems but the Xbox is just slightly better.

I this is an argument this is not personal if I offended you sorry but this is my opinion.

Firs if you red you now that one post is for you and a nether is for RevosBro the second one is for RevosBro.

“i did say you you could put videos pictures and music on the 360 i didn't say you could put music or movies in you wii i also didn't say you could connect your computer to your wii.” nerd

That point was for RevosBro not you. You did not read or understand.

I never seed that I hated the XBOX 360 I only seed it flaws and that is not being hypocrite. Like I seed the flaws of Wii. No console is perfect I only wrote about the fact that I now. And for me the Xbox has more flaws and I have fact to so port my opinion .

If you read you now that I hate people that fink that the Wii is not a good console or weaker in comparison to the Xbox (Fan boy) the Wii has it flaws. For example the Wii docent have game and the online sucks whit out getting all of the facts.

A lots of all the informetion was incomplete you most post all information, that way we don’t , get confuse.

“the ps3 does not have only 3 hard drive versions it has FIVE hard drive versions the 20 the 40 the 60 the 80 and the 160, but there are 3 game packs the motor storm pack the uncharted pack and the metal gear solid 4 guns of the patriots pack.” form nerd

You did not seed this at the beginning if you had seed this at the beginning we cud have avoided that point in the argument .

This is not a fight or a persona conflict this is an intellectual deviate that I relay enjoy. You need all of the information and elaborate so I can odes tan you.

1. my name is neder and i am a nerd but everyone is (there is not true definition of nerd)
2. to me it sounded like you hated the 360 (my bad)
3. the 360 HAD a lot of flaws
4. hating people just because they hate the wii is stupid
5. this is an intellectual debate and a creative discussion

overview

wii = 9.9 (graphics aren't perfect)
ps3 = 10 (there is nothing wrong with it except for the price)
360 9.0 (original batches of 360s and no motion control)

i rated the consoles on what was wrong with the consoles now here is the console ratings depending on amount of fun

wii = 10
ps3 = 9.8
360 = 9.8

Is EA’s recent (confirmed) decision to dedicate 50% of its development budget exclusively to the Wii a “turning point” for the system!
