I've got a 360 [distinctly underwhelmed], and a Gamecube [just completed the princess twilight - best Zelda EVER], but i've been thinking about getting a PS2. They are practically giving them away in England - should i get one? Are there decent games for it?
[obviously i want a PS3, but at the moment they are ridiculously expensive]

Unless you've purchased that 9" strap on you inquired about I don't see why you can't indulge in some normal hobbies

not sure you would need to look for the specific games thats unique for the ps2, there's some great titles but you can play them on other formats like resident evil iv (gamecube) or san andreas (xbox, play it on your 360)
but if some of the unique titles like shadow of the colossus and ICO are your cup of tea you should get one for those
-
I've had all the good Gamecube games. Part exchanged my xbox for a 360.
-
well i dont think there's gonna be many more games specifically for hte ps 2 so whats out now is pretty much whats there
and itll probably be another 6-12 months before the ps3 get some unique titles

Dude,
Get a fucking Wii.

I want one because i'm a Nintendo junkie - but i'm really put off by the controllers. Seems to much like a gimmic - and i don't buy the Adonis theory that they're great for cardio ::)

Dude the wii is changing games.. completely, and for a LONG time.
It's not a gimmic... trust me. I work for a gaming company... The Wii is single handedly changing the way people will game in the future.
We have some really fun Wii stuff coming out here. The Wii is the stuff.

Haha... Bluto, you're funny.
I work for a game company... Our entire shift is away from the PS3 to the Wii... The wii is outselling EVERY other console right now.
There are a TON of innovative things coming out from 3rd parties (Have you seen what Rockstar is doing with the Wii? Amazing)
You will eat your words Bluto... sorry to say it, but you really are wrong on this one.
The Wii is the most fun to play because you actually get involved beyond pushing some buttons... Like I said... lots of great stuff coming out.
I'd tell you about a cool title we're releasing, but it's against my company policy... It's only in development, but it looks FUN.
Oh, and if you're all about graphics, then you're playing games for the wrong reason... I play them because they're fun.
-
graphics is part of it. i rather play resident evil anyday over ping pong with a nunchuck or what the hell its called
retards have fun too, sitting in a sandpit doing so much more than pressing buttons

Let's revisit this around Christmas shall we?
I think you will be surprised.
-
im just to grown up for it
only thing ive been considered buying from nintendo is ds lite
-
The Wii is great fun, though I wouldn't see myself playing one much on my own. Great fun with a group of friends though.
-
I bought a second DS Lite last night. Great system

yeah and how much would that cost? they keep telling me it's cheaper than both the xbox 360 and the ps3 but friends are not included >:(

Nintendo has a reputation for goofy games and basically being a 'kids' machine
why is the Wii different?
ps (no pun)
If you dont have a ps2 and they're as cheap as you say grab one...there's so many titles available and new games coming out still

I'm going to answer this together because they're kind of the same.
What constitutes "Fun".
Every person I've ever heard say X system is a "kids" system has been under the age of like 24 and only bought something because it's "cool".
I've been playing games a lot of years... I actually owned an original pong, and have had almost every single game console since.
If you think that game makers follow some "kids" thought mentality, you're insane... They make the games for the system that sells the most, and right now, the Wii is outselling everything around the world 2 to 1.
Please see the "kiddy" game below.

You guys really need stop acting like your 15 year old friends won't think you're "cool".

Bluto, Nintendo games are NOT for kids! No 'kid' could solve alot of the puzzles in the Zelda games, or complete Metroid etc.
I agree with Saxon in that i'm sure Wii's are great with your friends - but waving a 'nunchuk' around on your own is a little bit ... sad. Maybe i will be proved wrong. I hope so because i still have all the Nintendo systems and love them all. [Super Mario Kart on the Snes is the GREATEST game of all time]
-
Super Mario Kart and Street Fighter II Turbo, I loved the SNES!

yes they can. last i checked 7 year olds played those games and completed them

"If you think that game makers follow some "kids" thought mentality, you're insane... They make the games for the system that sells the most, and right now, the Wii is outselling everything around the world 2 to 1."
really so why isnt everybody making games for the wii then? last i checked there's been companies making games for all kinds of systems and not just for the top seller.
and some games are primary for kids and some are for grown ups
you think they make postal for kids? or condemened ?
-

Bullshit. Not without the help of cheat sites and walkthrough guides. And what the hell are you doing 'checking' on seven year olds?

Bluto, I don't know what you think you know, but once again, the Wii is outselling all of the other systems and ALL of the video game manufacturers, my employer included, are switching their strategy and changing their platform of choice to the Wii.
You believe what you want.
-

I'll give you one guess as to what he's doing :P

lot of talk, little facts.
last i checked most long awaited games will NOT be available on the wii, for one thing its technically impossible since it's an inferior machine with inferior graphics and capabilities.

You should read more... Here's something for you.

which console that eventually outsells the other is anyones guess
bottom line is nintendo will release the same half dozen recycled shit they always do - zelda, mario, metroid and a couple of more
technically graphically etc it's a giant step back, a title like manhunt2 for example is released for the wii and the ps2 at the same time
for growns up, xbox360 and ps3 will be the way to go and there's probably a 100 anticipated titles for those machines
-
the wii, to me looks like kiddies toy,
right now im playing gtr2 mainly aswell as prey,
cant wait for crysis,
they should use the crysis engine to make a LOST game.

Ok..... Whatever you say Bluto.

As mods of the E board, I think Bluto and I should each buy a Wii and take a few weeks off from everything(not drinking or posting of course) and report back to you guys. Sometimes you gotta pay the cost to be the boss.
-
I just spent the evening playing bowling, tennis, golf, and baseball with a couple of mates on the Wii, great fun.
