Part-Time Viking Well, I've determined that Nintendo hates retailers... or else they wouldn't burden us with the Wii... We had a mob of 70 some odd people waiting for Wii's at my store today... We got TEN in... Wow.... It's a hot item. mrgreen Good thing I don't have to wait in line anymore for that. That's such a relief. 3nodding

Sakyh Daxelman Sakyh All I want for Christmas is PSP games. And books I need for AP English. If I get to go to the college I want to attend next year, then I won't be able to bring a non-handheld gaming system with me. So there's no point for me to ask my folks for a PS3. However, if my parents get their way and send me to a local community college then I'm begging for a PS3 cause I'll be living at home! XDDD On that note, isn't the latest PS3 commercial kick a**?! That's how ya sell consol people! Though I hate it when they just air the shortened vision.
I hate the song, I could pretty much fit the new PS3 ads to "Beyond the Sea" or "A Kiss to Build a Dream On".....
Or hell, "Baby It's Cold Outside"......
I actually like that song. Though I really shouldn't, I have no clue why I do. Anyhow, the thing is the song fits perfectly with the rest of the commerical. I'm beginning to think Sony might be figuring out how to actualy advertise! But then I see the psps coimmericals and remember, No..no they aren't...it's a fluke...a simple fluke... Arvis_Jaggamar I don't think "Beyond The Sea" would work with all that action and whatnot. You know what trailer I am crazy in love with? The new Uncharted trailer with a Massive Attack song playing over it. It's so flippin cool! I haven't seen a trailer for Uncharted yet. You know the one nice thing about the prospect of me being without a consol for 4 yrs (cries in a corner for a minute) is that a bunch of PS3 games will be uber cheap when I graduate! Maybe the PS3 will have another price drop or two by then, and bigger gb! Here are the links to the Uncharted trailers. http://www.gamespot.com/video/932984/6149584/untitled-naughty-dog-game-working-title-official-trailer-1 http://www.gamespot.com/video/932984/6174659/uncharted-drakes-fortune-official-trailer-2 http://www.gamespot.com/video/932984/6179354/uncharted-drakes-fortune-official-trailer-3 http://www.gamespot.com/ps3/action/uncharteddrakesfortune/video_player.html?id=KiAwnzKv5b4JvzXZ

Otherwise they wouldn't be buying a gaming console now would they? Was that a sly way of saying those who give a rats a** about gaming wouldn't buy a Wii? confused

Something that people think they have to have now. Why do I figure this, because they leave most of the time without any additional controllers or games.

That price will rack up fast with extra controllers. Wii's controllers aren't cheap. For a Wiimote & a Nunchuck it comes to $60. Get three extra sets and you are spending $180 on just controllers. Think of it this way, Wii itself will come to about $300 once tax is added. (I'm pretty sure of that.) Add the controllers and you have $480. That's before any extra games are added. I only got one extra controller/nunchuck when I got mine. I also bought LoZ: TP

Yes, Then Again, I know Jack s**t about Gaming, one controller is enough for me.
Personally, I never buy anything extra save for one cheap used game, and that's one a day where I bought more than i thought I would need with me.
Sides, No everyone who buys a PS3 or 360 buys more than one controller and one game.
Also, Pass n Play works wonders.

I'm saying they may not buy it all at once because of that. Just because they don't buy an extra one initially don't mean they won't buy an extra one in the future. @Daxel: Do I sense sarcasm/irritability in you. xD You are right though. I know on Wiisports/Wiiplay you can all use one controller.
