Gonna buy one? It looks like I will, that is, if there are any left. Gamestop's Wii pre-orders are already sold out. Red Steel = Awesome!

I'm going to get it. The PS3 is going to be too expensive. I'll wait until next year for the PS3. But yeah, I'll get the Wii sometime next month.

The PS3 was supposed to come out last year, but it has wayy too many issues, so they had to push back the date. I don't see what's going to be so different about it. I'd much rather have a 360 or the new Wii.

For those of you who really havn't payed attention to the specs and things for the 2 systems coming out this November, here is a little ditty.

The Playstation three has many of the same features that the PS2 had, although there are a few major changes worth noting.

1. The PS3 will be debuting with a built in Blu-Ray player. For those of you who have no idea what I just said Blu-Ray's are what many experts are calling the new DVD. Sony hopes to do the same thing that the PS2 did to DVDs with the PS3, and if they succeed I think they will have no problem winning the console wars.
2. The PS3 will have a capable web browser, and Sony also plans to up its online gameplay systems.

The Nintendo Wii also has some things going for it.

1. The Wii will feature a completely different control sceme that many have come to call the Wiimote.
http://wii.nintendo.com/controllers.html
Basically, the controller will act as a light gun in control, but with many buttons to give you an entire different controller. It also has the nunchuck attachment, and a SNES looking controller you can connect if you want to play old school style.
2. Nintendo Wii will be WiFi compatable for its game you want to play online against anyone in the world. (Super Smash Bros) WiFi is a wireless gameplay system that is extremely easy to access if you have a wireless network or you can buy a USB cord that will act as a wireless network adapter.
3. Nintendo will also be featuring old Nintendo games available for purchase on WiFi.

So here we go.

Wii Hate PS3
^Just a video I recorded of me and my friend messing with people in hopes of getting one of the FOUR PS3's at the Best Buy.

In other news, PS3 has absolutely nothing new added to it.
Those Blue Bottom Discs that some of your PS2 games may be? Blu Ray.
Tilt Controller? 3rd Party Created in 1997 for the original Playstation.

=] Wii love sony. :roll:

I played a PS3 at Best Buy today. I gotta admit, the gr4f1x were pretty awesome, but that's about it. There were seriously at least twelve tents set up outside the store.

The Best Buy in Woodridge had at least 2 tents today and the one in Bolingbrook probably has more. Gamestop in Downers Grove has about 6 PS3's, EB Games in BBrook has the most I know of at 10. Circuit City ,ay just be the place to go, they don't take reservations, meaning its anyones game.


As for systems, i'm not sure either anyone had double digit PS3's, except for the EB Games. And that may even be higher than reality.

PS3 can have all the problems it wants, but Wii is the way to go, only a few more days! Too bad Cartman had to freeze himself, otherwise he'd be able to enjoy the Wii too.

6 Million more are coming after the 2 Million on release day.

Looks like its gonna be easier to get a Wii that it looked like before. Wal-Mart up here expects over 30 for release day, Target expects over 20. I'll be calling again on saturday morning to make sure, and I'll probably start the camping around 7 or 8 at night.

Probably gonna buy another Wiimote and Nunchuck with Red Steele, because if I buy Zelda there is a real good chance I won't pass college.

Zelda without doing side missions requires 70 hours to beat.

I could say the same about people who go to theme parks 4 times in 2 weeks just to watch one show over and over again. :roll:
