Playstation 3 VS Wii

Bought it- play it- love it! FF12 (well, most of them) appeals to the OCD gamer in me. I want to get all the espers, do most if not all of the sidequests, level up like a madwoman and kick total butt in Dalmasca.

Yes, I am that much of a dork.

They say you should get to level 40 to beat the game (at minimum) and my characters are already level 40- and I am not even halfway through the game.

LOVE that game-

An XBox 360 will become a member of the family this Christmas- a Wii is next. I'm Nintendo loyal and I know we will get it eventually. The PS3- well, I will wait on that one for a long while.

(number of hours logged on our multiple consoles in our house? prolly hundreds per year)

I've had the game for three weeks now and I still haven't killed Rogue Tomato so it hasn't yet become an instant classic in my house.

heh- the Rogue Tomato. LOL

I hope you get into it- good game. Though I understand not getting into it- the general opinion is that FF7 is the BEST of them all- I can't get into it at all. I played a good portion of 8 but did not finish it. X and X-2 are favorites of mine- played them all the way through.

I've decided that wii will be the boy's "big gift" this year... in fact, hubby gets to go to Griffith Park to make a deal with a rogue e-Bayer for it. We've done these crazy deals before so we're not worried. Cold hard cash, for a much-desired toy, exchanged over a bumper in a parking lot in some seedy part of L.A., thrills my inner bad-girl.





I reeeaaaallly think I might like playing the "rabbid" game with the kid, which is a major selling point.

My husband loved Guitar Hero II so much he went and found #I too. If the kid and I are gone it's guaranteed we'll find him rocking when we get home!

My two love the Wii! They have logged many hours so far. My son says Zelda was wicked awesome! I think he finished it in about 32 hours,

My husband was the one to have the Wii controller fly out of his hand and tried to send it sailing through the big glass window! At least it missed the big flat screen tv!

I just bought 2 used XBox games for $5. One of them's a decently rated racing game, the other is Jet Set Radio.


Hopefully the racing game is fun. I've been out of the gaming loop for so long now, it's scary. My mistake was buying an XBox. I'm really not interested in the whole networked console thing (XBox Live), and the vast majority of XBox games are geared towards it. There are next to no decent non-Live multiplayer games for the XBox, which significantly reduces the probability that I'll play, because these days what I really want from a game is an activity WITH other people. There are some great games (the Burnout series definitely addicted me), but it was mostly a miss for me.

I think I'd really like the Wii, but with how little I currently game, I'd worry that it would be a wasted purchase.

Well....I think most adult men seem to think the XBox is a must have. Like, it is the game for men? I don't know. Most of my friends' husbands have one. And, they play on line with co-workers.

Oh man, I will have to make sure the Boy is careful with his controller....We lucked out and made it to Target before they were all gone!!! They had 51 delivered and we got there at 7:30a.m. and got ticket number 32.

This is the Boys' big present so Shhhh!!

I asked him if there was a game he wanted for his brothers' system. I guess there is a Super Mario? Eh, there'd better be only one 'cause that's all I remember...

Oh, and while the Hubster waited in the line, I ran in and found a TMX Elmo!! Not for us but a family member who'd searched for it.

Wow, I just learned that my college roommate has the game designer credit for Guitar Hero II. Good for him!

Clue me in, what is that?

It's one of the biggest, most addicting sellers for the PS (a couple people have mentioned it in this thread). Surveys have been showing that that game alone is driving sales of the PS consoles.
