It's so they can easily name the new Nintendo console, Poo :lol:


Also Fighead, I personally despise PS3's, I'm an xbox 360 person! I was just making a suggestion because the xbox 360 is to pro for a 9yr old girl. No offence Dangaman, because the xbox is more hardcore.

By the way, does anyone have Counter Strike Source for the pc or MW2 for the xbox 360? I will challenge any of you to a match :twisted:

All Wii consoles come with the same size hard drive. There currently is two Wii game consoles on the market. The White and the Black version. The difference here is that the Wii black version comes with the Wii motion plus accessory.

The Nintendo Wii Game console is a great choice and you are going to have fun with it as well. Two things that you may want to buy with the Wii console:

The Wii Remote requires two double A batteries. Buy Eneloop rechargeable double A batteries, preferably a pack that includes the Sanyo battery charger. It will be the best investment you will ever make. These particular batteries really last long after recharging them.

The Wii console is capable of a wireless connection for online gaming but if you do not have a wireless router, you can get your Wii system connected to the internet by buying a Wii LAN Adapter. A used Rocketfish LAN Adapter on E-Bay sells for around 4 Euros and it comes with a 6' Ethernet cable.

If you would like to know what game to buy for your kid, you can not go wrong with Mario Kart. It is the best selling kid game for the Nintendo Wii. Buy the game that includes the Wii Wheel accessory. You can play online with this game as well.

The Wii offers impressive motion control gaming for adults as well. I particularly like call of duty reflex edition.


Thanks every so much, that cleared a few things in my mind. :)

lol this one guy told me they will be making consoles that you put the mask over your eyes like your in the game.

i never liked the Wee but i think for young children its perfect, lots of good games for them like bowling they can jump around and play.. its good for them even though a pro gamer like you might not like it or not might but hates its

xbox 360 and the ps3 is the same thing just ones controller is much bigger the other has free online gaming the other you pay.. one has ps3 only games xbox is good also and ps3 you can swap the hard drive like i did and put 500GB. so i dont see how xbox is any more pro then the ps3, its the same thing.. infact with pc gaming you can exploit files edit them and cheat.

Xbox 360 does have better gamers on it, such as the OpTic's (I was in it for 2 days :lol: ), M40A3 clan etc.

PS3 does have good gamers but when you compare them to the Xbox gamer, they are just below xbox skill. I don't know why but it's true.

PC gaming is awesome because as you said, you can hack the heck out of the games. Just ordered Counter Strike Source and I'm gonna search for some mods :lol:

The Wii blows goats. Get an Xbox 360 with Kinect

Just found one with wifi built in. Is this something I should consider?

One more thing this item has 2 USB slots. does that mean you can save games on an external drive and use them?

Thanks again
