thats a load of bs. I really need hdmi for my xbox I already have. I'm plum out of component cable ports on my hdtv.

gaaaaaaaaaahhh why did i just buy 3 more.. nah just kidding but my mate did JUST buy one, like a day ago.

Ahh well im sure it will be quite awhile before we see them here in Australia. Looks like a tempting upgrade tho. And im sure they will just use the American community for bug testing like they did with the first release Then gives us Aussie the more refined product.

I personally wouldn't, but after having heard countless users of the wii rave about zelda played in that fashion it's making me wonder if for that sort of gameplay it wouldn't be worth the 300 euros or so...
I still think the xbox is a mini-pc with a joypad...

easy to say that having not played the xbox360

You do fall in love with it... saying that.. i will most likely get a Wii too

[studioDIM]

True, never played it, but on paper it has little to differentiate it from the xbox which i owned.
That found its way to the used things dealer as the PC arrived at home.
FF steering wheel, joypad, 19" CRT monitor, and a then top of the range rig, why would i keep it at all?
Now, updated rig, i do miss some perhipherals lost in the country transfers, but would not go out and dish that dosh for the 360, naye.
I can record and playback hdtv streams at any res, i see them better than any lcd hdtv TV costing thousands can show me at the moment (and that would need to be bought to enjoy v1 or v2 fully), can buy identical joypads, and there's nothing amiss in my rig performance-wise compared to an xbox360.
And i sure can live without a couple of racing games, in case, or halo3.
Now, reeling in a fish with arms waving, or slashing and parrying with two arms sounds something i won't be doing anytime soon - so cost effectively - on my pc...

I got the xbox360 because there are alot of games that will not come out on PC, and they are almost always better on the xbox360, as the PC ports often suck ass.
I some of the xbox360 games would cause even the greatest pc to struggle at times.
But your right about the other stuff.

The Wii is a great device, hands down. It is more unique and engaging than the 360.. of course.
Damn it.. if I can find one today I might just get one

[studioDIM]

Lol spoiled brat!
Agreed though. i loved having the xbox games firsthand to play with, from DoA to Morrowind to Halo...
Resist the temptation, son.
Don't just splash for the day (sayeth the one that went out raving for DNDo, without being able to find it, a week ago)

as much as I would like to get one, and I would!! They are as rare as hens teeth at the moment.

[studioDIM]

yeah, never heard of hens singing "Wiiiiii! Wiiiiii!!" through their teeth. ever.

[DaForce]

Exceptionally difficult, considering they have no lips either..

[studioDIM]

indeed, never heard them whistling it either, for that matter...

Lele

[DaForce]

hmmm I guess they could cluck it. But it might be a little hard to understand... kind of like the way this thread is getting

[studioDIM]

"cluckiiiiiiiiiiii! cluckiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!"
Thread wasting made profession.
