re: Is this a good idea?

quote LZ Schneider
The moment you acquire a 360 with Live, you'll never want a Wii again nor will you understand the initial reason you bought one.
Sell your Wii and say "*bleep* it", and just get a 360 with Live.
<shakes head>

Do you even know how you sound right now? Live isnt that great. Ya, a lot of people love it, but plenty of people think it is boring, too. Not everyone can get live working, also. Without live, the 360 sucks. With live, I personally find it a little short of the wii. The thing is as soon as you start playng live you think "this is awesome, *bleep* the wii and ps3!!!" but after a while it gets boring. Halo 3 isnt that great to begin with, its just halo 2 with more features. Call of duty 4 and gears are good but they get boring after a few weeks. If you get the best games for the wii (like i did for my 360) then you wont be dissapointed. Super mario galaxy and legend of zelda twilight princess alone will last you a long time, but with metroid prime corruption, super smash bros brawl, and even mario kart wii, the Wii will last you for a crazy amount of time.

Besides, the best game on the 360 (which I have and personally love as my second favorite game, super mario galaxy being as my favorite) doesnt even have multiplayer. It got game of the year 2007. Its called bioshock. Get that game and tell me how much you love your precious live. Or how about actually play it for more than 4 weeks before bashing the wii and saying that live kicks ass. And when i say 4 weeks i mean atleast 5-6 hours a week. Come back once you have done that and tell me if live is still keeping you fully entertained. The wii has lasted me a good 2 years now, and I actually bought the major titles instead of deciding how much i like the wii based on "wii sports" or wii play. I don't think live will last you nearly 2 years without getting bored of it sometime.

I'm not saying the 360 isnt good, its a great console and it does shooters and online perfectly, but i personally think the wii is better because it actually adds something new to the table besides graphics and content.

But in the end, its all preference, so don't tell him that he is sure to like his 360 better when plenty of people prefer the wii (considering it outsold the 360 by a little bit in 2007 and it didn't even release brawl yet).

re: Is this a good idea?

Me and one of my pals both got a Wii around Christmas time.

I have barely looked at my Wii since I got COD4. Oh, and since I discovered TF2. Neither has my mate.

Mikstaslaya; you seem to be defending the Wii more than you play it. Do you even know how you sound right now?

re: Is this a good idea?

To LZ Schneider

Wow, your mature. If you actually read my post I stated that its all preference, and that it is only true for some people. You probably read half my post, crapped your pants and decided to take your anger out online, in a forum post. Do you think swearing consistently gets your point across? Or did you just learn what the word "cock" meant and want to test it out in a forum post? Besides, what are you talking about "attacking you"? The closest thing I got to attacking you was being frustrated that you made your opinion sound like a fact, which it obviously isn't (yeah, I'll admit, I have done my fair share of that). I clearly stated my opinion and afterwards ended with "its all preference". So what if you don't agree with me, you prefer the 360, I prefer the Wii. And if its insulted, yeah, I'm gonna defend it because its my favorite console. But you can stop acting like I sent someone to your door to kill you. Its not the end of the world. If he likes his Wii, let him keep it. If he wants the 360, then what the hell, go ahead and buy one. I personally think that Live gets boring after four weeks of repetitive (IMO) shooters. I could understand getting mad at me for stating that as a fact but I cleary said that it was just an opinion, as is yours, as is his, and as is everyone's on this forum. Just because Live lasts you longer than the four weeks it lasts me doesn't mean I'm the anti-christ, so stop bitching and get over it.

And after all this, its a videogame. Comon people. Who *bleep*ing cares? I will defend the Wii when nessisary but by all means I don't mean to offend anyone. Its just a goddamn piece of machinary that provides entertainment when bored. Who *bleep*ing cares what opinion we all have? No matter what I think about the 360, wii, ps3 or anyone elses opinion about the 3 consoles, its all just a few pieces of entertainment that shouldn't be taken too seriously.

So how about you act like you have a life like I'm doing, and put opinions you don't agree with behind you, instead of attacking anyone who has their own preference. Because in the end (and anyone with a life would know this) its all just videogames, which shouldn't be taken so far to the point that we get in a flame war.

Take a deep breath, calm down, and stop taking this too far. I don't even know you, so why the hell should you care what I think about your opinion?

Just keep the wii. Brawl is coming out in like 2 months and believe me, its gonna last you a LONG time. I mean, melee lasted me a good 5-6 years of gameplay. Its all preference.
Azad_g lives in the UK, and we're gonna have to wait at least six months for Brawl.

re: Is this a good idea?

And there is nothing pathetic about getting pissed over a opinion over a videogame? I'm done argueing with you and LZ. LZ is just a baby, he obviously can't take an opinion or he was in a horrible mood when he read my post and now you are just taking advantage of the fact that someone doesn't agree with me. Really lj, I know your not much of a nintendo fan but all it takes is a little maturity to see what is wrong with his post. All I did was have an opinion, so what, does that make me pathetic? We are at the *bleep*ing wii forums. Do you expect everyone here to hate the wii? Wtf people, its a console. Who cares. Noone is pathetic just because of their opinion on videogames. So what, you like the Ps3 Ljp big deal. I like the wii, who *bleep*ing cares. LZ likes the 360, good for him. This is the stupidest arguement/flame war I have ever been in. Wtf its a videogame people wow I don't like Xbox live calm the *bleep* down and deal with it. Especially LZ, and just because you agree with him ljp doesn't mean his post was anywhere close to maturity.

Besides, LZ should be greatful I took that post away from view. It was just plain embarressing, more for him than for me. Who the hell is gonna look at that post and actually agree with the consistent flame/swearing just because it supports their opinion? He went over the edge, and no one would have read his post and said "how mature, you really showed mikstaslaya".

Call me pathetic all you want, I dont really care. Its a videogame and no matter how hard you try, you can't make someone look like a *bleep* just because they like the wii and you like the ps3/360.

So before you get all excited that LZ boosted your confidence by flaming me for having an opinion, you might wanna get a life and stop adding to his post as if I'm supposed to take a videogame insult seriously...

Must I say anymore? This flamewar is over. Want me to apologize just to prove I'm done with this? Ok, I'm sorry for insulting the 360 and acting as if my opinion is superior to yours, if you found it offensive than I'll act more mature next time. Is that enough proof that I'm done with this flame war? How about the fact that no matter how long this goes on, I don't find anything important from these flame posts and pay little or no attention to them. The only reason I'm even responding is because I'd like to be clear to make sure noone here thinks I tried to start this fight, and I personally don't like getting banned.

all my friends have 360 and they are convincing me to get it so i can play online with them.
You shouldn't give into peer pressure. Just keep your Wii, you'll save money in the long run.

re: Is this a good idea?

I agree. Don't spend money based on what your friends say, just get what you prefer. If you keep the Wii, you can save a LOT of money and get Brawl, which I'm guessing your friends will like (unless they are strictly FPS fans). However, if you really want to play with your friends and play online (but your willing to spend a good amount of money) then sell your wii and get a 360.

Personally, I think you should just keep the Wii, get the best games (such as mario galaxy, legend of zelda twilight princess, Brawl, and mariokart wii) and save up for a 360. Maybe next christmas you can ask your parents for one or perhaps just get a small job and pay it off. But I really don't think your plan will work out as easily as it sounds. Somewhere in all that buying and selling your probably gonna lose a lot of money. I say just keep your wii, save up for a premium 360 (NOt the elite, way too expensive) and get that. Then buy gears of war, call of duty 4, halo 3, and bioshock. I would personally go for bioshock and call of duty 4 first but its all preference, what ever appeals to you.

re: Is this a good idea?

Eh, in case you do not realize, you're the one who attacked me for saying that he should get a 360 and forget about the Wii, and you apparently cannot handle the retaliation. Also, I wasn't arguing. I was merely making a counterpoint and defending myself with cock references because they were funny as hell; and that my friend is not flaming.

re: Is this a good idea?

Well, then, perhaps I'm the one that needs to learn to take a joke. It really seemed you were putting that out as a serious insult. I wish I had known it was a joke before I was at this level, perhaps we could have avoided any arguements or post-reports. But nonetheless, I'm done talking about the 360/wii competition, I honestly don't care which one is better, I play both and I'm happy as it is. Its all opinion, so who gives a *bleep* anyways.

re: Is this a good idea?

This is a stupid idea. Just get a job, then buy a 360 to occupy your time until "all the good Wii games come out". Seriously, though, Super Mario Galaxy, Guitar Hero 3, and Battalion Wars 2 are all *bleep*ing sweet games.
