That's so funny. I actually had no plan to get a new game system (I can count the games I play on my PS2 on one hand), but the Wii does look like fun. Who gives a crap if it's not in HD. Plus, Disney set up a team of game designers exclusively for the Wii...

Funny ad.

I have no intention of bying either a PS3 (my PS2 gets about 10 hours of use per year) but must say that what I've seen of the Wii isn't particularly appealing. Especially as people realize that fully simulating movements isn't necessary and just small movements have the same effect.

B'ah. I know I giggled when I ko'd someone on the boxing game, put my hands up in victory only to see my little dude on the screen do the same. That right there was worth something (well, in my case, worth a visit to the in-laws and a free dinner for me...but cool none the less).

Wait, what did that video have to do with the PS3?

Hot damn...I swear, I stopped listening half way through.

I don't play video games, never have. The Wii concept (using full body movements even if unnecessary) is the only one I have found even remotely appealing.

Screen play does nothing for me. If you combine it with real play, you have something there (in my admittedly very unique opinion).

I didn't view/read your link {sorry zapppop} 'cause I was more interested in the replies.

Ah...I watched my son and friends play the boxing game, it looked like they were having fun. I didn't realize smaller movements could get the same effect.

I like to see them playing games where they can move around {eye toy? and DDR} and I like that. I also like watching play games that make them think.

Alex, 10 hours??? Wow, I won't even say how many hours our systems build up....

Guitar Hero is awesome.

I just bought FF12 so hopefully that'll go up (though I don't think I've ever made it more than halfway through any of the Final Fantasy games).

While cleaning up a couple months ago I came across my copy of Prince of Persia: Sands of Time and spend the next couple days beating that. I think that was the only time it was turned on this year.

I think I've finally come to the realization that my console gaming days are behind me. For the FPS and RPGs that I prefer now they just don't compare to PC gaming and I never seem to find the time. I have a couple dozen PS2 games but several of them have probably never event been taken out of the case because they're impulse buys ("This will finally get me to use that damn machine") and then they just gather dust.
