by that constraint, wii should be ur choice.

that's the only reason i'm still keeping my wii although i don't play it...it's for my daughter. Currently she is still a baby

PS3 is only for me (and i think that's why u're still undecided coz u think u want it for u, but not ur family as a whole). Buy wii first, later when u hv enough funds, buy the other one (if u still feel unsatisfied). Later u can even attach it to a normal crt n put it in the other room so as not to disturb the main tv if u dun play it anymore.

That's it. Mind made up. Be getting one ASAP (kids getting restless 2 weeks into the holidays).

Best price seems to be in LYP (RM950/- for modded with extra set of controllers + 10 games). Any better offers than this?

Yes, paradise4gamerz, selling Wii at 700, without the extra set of controllers.

Anyway, I chose Wii over PS3 and XBOX 360 because:

1)Games on PS360 has the PC Version
2)Intrigued by Wii's motion control
3)There is a large softmodding base
4)Was looking forward to play Super Mario Galaxy (A bit boring, to be frank)

my preference is unmodded wii. i won't sound bias, so i will just give u the facts, focusing on what sellers won't tell you:
1. like your ps2, modding a wii allow u to play pirated games (the 10 games u getting). unmodded wii plays originals only.
2. modded wiis are not perfect, so usually sellers will give u simple instructions like never do a wii system update yourself through wi-fi connection. that is good advice, unless u dig deeper into the world of modding. but by not updating, you will miss all the future updates with new features, and services which newer games will use at some point. nintendo releases about 2 to 3 updates a year average.
3. the wii comes out of the factory unmodded. so your wii is already tampered, or worst - used. the seller will of course always say it is new.
4. depending on your mod setup, some games (especially newer/future ones, and definitely not the 10 games u be getting) won't work. i can't give u the exact list coz it depends on your mod setup. U can choose to just ignore and don't play those games.
5. wii shop channel allows u to download games u can't find on the shelves or anywhere else. that channel either doesn't work now, or will not work in the future (when nintendo releases an update).
6. the above problems can be overcome, but its technical and requires hassle on your part. or u can just accept these shortcomings for a modded wii.

for alternative sellers, u can approach mr kyoyogami (he needs a better nickname)

I was about to flame you (lol) when I read this, then came statement number 6. You are correct in every way. I congratulate you on that.

NEVER think that trying to fix these problems are easy, it takes time to learn. Believe me, I went through all this.

i will get a Wii again if only Nintendo makes region free for games !

unless there is some really good titles ..

mario kart
mario tennis

its the reason i love wii..they are legend and memories
i dont see other games that offer so much fun when playing with family/friends.

and now its super mario bros

The reasons i don't want xbox360 is because it might burn one day. N no online feature for rm10 games if im going to but it..

xbox360 jasper unit itself have much improvements in terms of its reliability. sometimes i am just surprised with the loading
speed in comparison with ps3 of the same title.

i guess each console has its own pros and cons.

i bought it coz Shay Laren played it.

with no clothes on.

my god, no other console can do that.

LOL!

The day I bought was Wii was when I was in US on a business trip and suddenly Amazon.com had a promo for it just before Xmas. It was their hourly deals. So I quickly snapped one up with Free Shipping.

hehe. but don't rule out ps3. chicks love big black ones too.

The loading speed is because blu ray got longer load time compare to DVD.. XD

I got my wii instead of xbox and ps3 cause
- homebrew
- usb games supported
- internet browsing capabiliy
- can play mutiplayer such as COD and some wiiware games FOC
- fun to play not with boring analog controller
- family members & gf loves it.

I am using korean softmodded.

Hmm..i am getting wii bcoz i cannot afford buying ori games but i luv ps3.(Sony fan )
If i buy xbox360 i afraid red ring of death will appear!!!
I hate repairing!!

kesian. so sorry to hear ps3 still can't hack. but rzio, i heard ps3 can hack soon....so hang in there son. i'll keep u posted on that.

this message will self-destruct in 5 seconds.

haih...u bought wii for the wrong reason then

want hackable and games are pretty...beli PC

well, i did not bother repairing my phat PS3 after the "yellow light of death" ... let's hope ppl hv better luck with the newer revisions.

sold all my ps3 games and watever i had ...


honestly, it actually feels good to be focused on Nintendo platform alone. yes, i am Nintendo inclined by nature... hahha.

I have a wii, a ps3 and a gaming pc..

so far I am still on wii :-
1. I play 3 players mario kart, and it gives hell of excitement and funs, never got bored from the team race.

2. It has a lot of cooperative game; compare to ps3, unless you have another ps3 at home, your family/gf only able to look at you playing and unable to participate with you together.

3. Wii has different variety of game plays for which it doesn't exist in Ps3, PC or Xbox : Try Macara/ Trauma Center and you'll know what I mean.

4. Wii brought laughter to my family, I hardly see my family laugh or feel excite when I am beginning my ps3 (Except for Uncharted 2); but with wii, my whole family sits at the living room and laugh together because of our action and the sports game are funny

5. Lucky for me, I've updated and managed to configure wii to latest patch (able to play all pirated games) and I still have like 30+ titles haven't been completed. OMG

6. With wii, I have never feel boring while gaming (have you played FF13 a while and feel like, ah it's so boring that I am alone here, better go out). The boring gone as I play with my family members and best, my friends and girlfriend

So I choose Wii, I am not bias towards PC or PS3, but their games, are getting dull with good graphic, but similar gameplay
