Getting a Wii

Well, I'm off to trade in my 360 for a Nintendo Wii here in a few! I need some good adventure and platform games as well as shooters and quirky fun stuff. Tired of playing such serious type games.

Sweet - I wanna get one too.

Yeah, I <3 my Wii. The games are it are very fun.

Well, for now then; guess not. Turns out my friend won't buy it from me as he originally said cause the manufacture date is over a year old. He doesn't bother with older than 1 yr due to their issues.

I've got it listed on Craig's List now cause even gamestop will only give $80 trade for a system that cost $430 only 6 months ago...its BS.

Hopefully someone local will bitem and pay a fair price of what its worth...heh

Iv Been enjoying my wii for arround 6 months.
I love all the inovative stuff.

helped me lose 60 pounds since then too.

Lol. Just got a game called Just dance.

Its so cute to see my 2 year old try to dance to Old tunes like MC hammer.

Pricless.

I bet..that would be funny. I'd still love to get a Wii someday, but funds are really tight lately, so what little I have is spent on MMOs and keeping my PC upgraded, as well as my two Labs.

Im in Construction.
It always dies down this time a year , with the winter and all
Makes for depessing holdays.

Its so easy to go into a spending frenzy, only to max out all your credit
and spend the next 10 years trying to pay it off.

Anyways, im not really sure you would love the wii that much, based on what i know about you.

Which is not much...hehe I love the quirky style of games the Wii has, and I enjoy the more adult stuff on 360 too, but everything on 360 is always so dark and hardly any colors, whereas the Wii is very colorful and has a ton of fun games. I love platformers and puzzles and mini-games...rofl

I like a really good and lengthy RPG as well. It basically comes down to that I like to have fun and the graphics or style of the game is of no mind as long as its great entertainment.

Our Wii goes through dormant periods. The Family is playing a lot of cart right now so it has been up every night. Before that, I think it went 3 months with out being turned on. It should be on more often after taxes and the new tv. We have been using our sons 13 inch for about a year since the flat screen blew out 1 day after the warranty..
Netflix is being added to the Wii soon though not in hi-def. Still, if it is the only next gen system you have it is a cheap way to watch movies.

Nice to know about the netflix.
where did you get that info Lonestar?

Kotaku.com, it's a gaming web site. Part of the Io9 network

Its so funny all my wife's friends want to come over and play wii every weekend then head out to party.

I dont know how long this gona last but im enjoying the company so far.

Extra females swarming around from time to time are nice, unless you grew up in a Taco Factory your entire life like I did with 8 frackin sisters. Still love women, and their companionship very much, but in small quantities, or generally only one with attention focused on me...hehe

Lol

I feel like a taco factory somtimes

haha, I bet.

We call it somthing diffrent up here but it gets lost in the translation
