Is it anywhere near as powerful as a PS3? No
Is it as powerful as a tricked up PC? No Is it the only console you can shove in the middle of a house party and have people actually engage with each other over and have a laugh rather than taking it seriously? You betcha. HTH Jambo ![]()

They're a bit of fun, but only a novelty IMO. PS3 in the Jan sales for me I think
![]() Biggest annoyance- going to a party with the owner of the wii: 'go on have a go' 'no' 'go on its fun' 'I've done it before' 'but it's funny' 'the first time' 'go on!' 'I'm going for a wee' Last edited by gettin2dizzy; 26-11-07 at 12:47 PM. |

Why be so childish as to hate something that's good fun?
PC gaming - been there, done that, spent a fortune constantly upgrading graphics cards, processors, motherboards etc. Can't be arsed with that anymore. I've switched to Mac and really don't want a Windows PC now. 360 - Too ugly for my living room, unreliable and doesn't have built-in wireless networking. PS3 - Twice the price of a Wii. Might get one in a year or two if they bring out a cheaper 'slim' model like the PS2. Wii - I love the controller, graphics aren't bad (better than last generation, though not as good as 360/PS3), cheap and reliable. But the really important thing is that the games are great fun to play. That's why I bought it and it delivers fun in spades. |

They've already released a budget PS3; the 40Gb model. I wouldn't hold your breath for a slimline model! They aren't actually that big already.

nintendo never release the most powerful consoles, but for me they always have the most entertaining games, especially multiplayers these days i mostly play on the PC, but the N64 is still hooked up to the TV for when you've got a couple of mates over ![]()
