Sadly I went with a Wii instead of an XBox 360 so can't.... I think I made a mistake there, but the Wii is a more family friendly system I figured.... Maybe get a 360 when I strike it big on a scratch off or something.


I'm about to go Wii as well ... are you advising against it Payton?


I have both the Wii and the 360. Not sure you could go wrong with either one, but with how great XBLA is I would get a 360. On the flip side I have been playing more Wii recently with Mario Kart, SSB, etc...not sure that helped, but in the end just think about the consoles purpose and the games available for each system you're considering.

My opinion shouldn't count for much here. We have both in our household, belonging to different people. The others love the Wii - but my knees won't take the movements required for a lot of the games, so I stick with the 360, which works out fine.

Bad knees GwennA? Sounds like The Hustlers need to hire a team trainer!

I've seen games on both 360 and PS3, and they look awesome. But had held off picking one up due to the excessive number of complaints I'd seen for both. As time has progressed, it seems the Wii is getting more and more interest, for the exact reasons Bartholomew described. One friend swears by the boxing game to keep himself in shape. Says it's done wonders for him. Plus, the wife is suddenly interested in the Wii Fit add-on, and my daughter (6) wants to get anything she can use a steering wheel to play.

Personally, Madden is my #1 preference. If it plays well on there, I'm good to go.

Madden is fun on the Wii.

I really love the olympics game for it but that one is hit or miss. Some of my friends love it, others hate it.

Overall for me, I find the Wii is great. I dont play video games much anymore but I can pick up and play most Wii games pretty easily. Plus, when I have friends or family over the Wii is a great thing to do with some of the multiplayer games.

The first thing we did christmas morning was plug in the wii and have a boxing tournament. We flailed until we all fell over panting and laughing. Its a great thing for a group of people or alone to stay in shape.

I have both the Wii and 360, I have not tried madden or anything on the wii, do you run the motions with wii remote or do you just play it reg?

you do alot of motions with the wii remotes when you play madden.

In case any of you have not seen/heard of it, this blog site is hilarious:

It originally started as a site to gain momentum for a class action lawsuit, but people soon realized Nintendo wouldn't be held accountable for (in most cases) abject stupidity. Some are staged, some are real, but it will make you laugh!

Multiple knee injuries from my jock days and working as a bouncer for years. Only up side is that I get to spend all this time on my laptop now - so I have time to help manage here.

lol GwennA ... so a football mmo that runs every other day game sims was better than pennies from heaven in your house!

I heard a rumor that if you take the Wii online you can play any Nintendo game ever created. Can anyone confirm/clarify that? And is it worth it, or does it just end up being a novelty you ignore after a few weeks?

I heard something to that effect as well.... My Wii isn't online yet, but will try it when we're in our new house...

There are a ton of old nintendo and sega games you can download from Nintendo but they do cost about 5 bucks each. There are probably free copies online though.

Wii online is really fun...or at least SSM and Mario Kart are.
