Goddammit, the reasons for me to get it keep piling the fuck up. Now it's a matter of weighing choices: -Do I want to starve myself and do random jobs like I did with the Wii? If so, would I be willing to spend it on a 360 instead of a PC upgrade? D:

Oh sure, bahamut, if you have no other choice then buy Oblivion for the 360. It's still a good game, plus you can get some official mods, if you pay for them. Also, is the 360 getting bioshock?

I played the trial and quit. Just too many things that add up to make it almost a non-game. This is just me, but I found it boring. At least I can scratch another game in my neverending quest for the good MMO.

Well it is... I mean, it sure is a good game on it's own, but not a great game, like it's PC counterpart is. Oblivion vanilla wares thin after maybe 50 hours of gameplay tops. That about as much as Zelda. For such an open ended game, it should be more, like Morrowing, but Oblivion ruins everything by adding a randomness factor limited to your level and stuff, it's just meh. Actually, there's a PC mod that fixes this, making Oblivion just as, if not better, then Morrowind, it's the Oscuro's Overhaul Oblivion, or O3. So, while Oblivion is a good game, it's not a reason to get a 360 like Halo 3 or Dead Rising is. It is, however, a reason to get a great PC.

The only good one that I can think of. Oooh. Virtua Fighter 5 now coming to 360 also: http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/752/752074p1.html I think the japanese are realizing they aren't going to make much money keeping things on the PS3 only. The western market is just too big. Here's hoping the rumors that MGS4 is coming to 360 also is true! Nope, totally and completely dismissed by both Kojima and Konami. Do you have a link? They could still be saying that they aren't making a PS3 version because they could be under some agreement with Sony not to talk about it. I read that Kojima was being forced by Konami execs to make the port. It will be hard to make a profit on this multi million dollar game when there won't be that many PS3's out there even a year from now. It's kinda like how Capcom forced a PS2 Resident Evil port. I wouldn't be surprised if the MGS4 port came 6-12 months later. Yeah, just like 1, 2 and 3 had re-editions (and 1 had a GC version and 2 had a Xbox version), it's likely that 4 will have a revision edition too. And it's also possible that it will come out on the 360. Nevertheless, I can't give you a link, I don't remember where I found it, but it's been on several of the main media outlets. So, the fact that it will be a PS3-only game is pretty much set in stone. Of course, sly, sly Kojima hasn't said anything about the reeditions, so it's still pretty open. Still, you have to take one major factor into consideration: MGS tends to be a graphically powerful game. Maybe it will utilize the PS3's powerful capabilites to create gameplay mechanics based on that powerful graphical prowess. Which means a 360 version would, undoubtedly, be toned down.

Fixed.

I honestly can't figure out if this is a joke or not. Major deny.

rofl, my connection dropped anyway and I went to sleep, s'all good.

Uhhhh wtf I went to Nintendo's distributor's HQ here and they checked out my Wii. A really nice manager and some equally nice girl from Tech support took me to this showroom thingy where they had a widescreen TV and several other stuff and plugged my Wii in, same cables I use at home, since I rapacked everything, ready for returning. Thing is, when they tested it, same exact setup, it worked perfectly. No sound problem. Perfectly reading discs. I don't know if this is a bad omen or just a bizarre error, but it's freakish nevertheless. They told me it might've been some problem with the laser's head which might have been fixed during the car ride there. So basically, I had to smack my Wii, like JoeFu advised me to (or was it spleen?). Still, this doesn't account to the sound issue, since the cables were the same. Jesus... It might be from my tv, so I'll try changing the AV out from front to back and see if there's a difference. It seems to work fine now. :3

It may be. It might be simple flukes, but there have been too many similar reports in such a short period. We all know the Wiimote strap thing is bullshit, but this is not. Total disc-reading laser breakdown within not even 2 weeks of purchase? And some sound issue too? :\ It might have something to do with it being DVD I don't know. I'm just spitting out random crap now. Nevertheless, it's still a launch console, and the reports are THAT many. I guess I can cut them a little slack, after all, it's not like a 600$ console just broke down Still, I expect a replacement unit, fully functional, and my data transferred as well as my 400 points left. I don't have an SD card :[

Did you try unplugging it completely? The only issue I've had with my Wii is the controller suddenly not being detected, which was fixed by just unplugging it and plugging it back in after a few seconds. Of course I did, I tried everything you usually do in these situations, from unplugging it, to leaving it off for a while and even leaving it unplugged for the whole night. Tried unplugging the audio/video cables and even the sensor bar. Different disks and nothing works. I'm even noticing lag when clicking the different channels (with the sound muted, god white noise is annoying).

Seriously, it's like it just sat there, pouted and wouldn't read disks anymore. I didn't even do anything different. It didn't fall, it didn't overheat, nothing! Just random! Damn!

A friend came over and I was showing him the wii and shit and we were playing different games. So I play Wii Sports, everything fine. I play Wii Play, everything fine, before he came over, my bro was playing Twilight Princess, everything fine. When I put in the TP disk to show him the Zelda glory, it gives me the disk read error screen. I think "well, alright, I'll just clean it" I do, try again, nothing. Again, nothing. Different disks, including the Melee one, nothing. After an hour of not reading disks, the sound is suddenly fucked up too. Now every time it plays any sound, from music to sound effects, it spews out static noise. Irritating static noise. FUCK! God, why do I have this compelling need to buy stuff at launch? OH! I KNOW! I WAS WAITING FOR ZELDA FOR 300 YEARS! D:< Goddammit! I'm going to Nintendo's distributor here first thing in the morning! I'm getting this Wii replaced, and the data transferred! I'm just kinda sad it won't be the same Wii. We've had good times. : ( I'm pissed off now!

Dear god... But yes, I've heard of it, it's one of my favorite Mega Drive games. The bosses were awesome, the gameplay was varied and the music was good. Tough too.

Maybe it's related to production costs, or by now, the team actually prefers the DS over the PSP since it's selling more.

Guys, if Wii Play has been pushed to Feb 07 there, drop it. You'll probably have another Wiimote by then, and it's really the only reason to buy it. The games are fun, but none seem to have the lasting appeal of Wii Sports.

And for Europe? I look forward to posting in a Wii.

They can't afford to hold back all those heavy hitters until Christmas. Brawl will come out somewhere in February/March. Add one month, give or take, for EU release. Prime will follow soon. Mario will most likely be a post summer release along with Phantom Hourglass. I couldn't care less about Children of Mana. DS titles are a moot point anyway, I import most of them from yankee land anyway.

Jesus Christ! It's in Japanese! Clearly the storyline and dialogue are the best aspects in this game, we can't possibly appreciate the visuals or music now! Shit! And I did go there JoeFu.

Guys guys! A Square Enix streetcred game trailer! Did no one even watch it?

The reason I'm not getting is that it's too easy and also you can't create cool new powers like in Crystal Shards.

He's the tribute to Tingle. Not quite Tingle, but still a hint of the character.

They're both solid, and not related, storyline-wise. I'd go with DoS first since it's probably cheaper by now.
