Ramz, my reasons are exactly the same as yours. Although in my case, my wife doesn't mind me playing games, but I thought I must be considerate as well, and buy a machine that both of us can use.

Try playing Tiger Woods 10 on the Wii. That'll give you a good workout, not to mention improving your golf swing!

I love wii because I can taruh my wife in Mario Kart. Although I kena whack sometimes also.

hahaha... pity u. Think about it this way la. Only by playing Mario Kart Wii can you legitimately throw stuff at your wife without running the risk of kena report to polis.

Similarly, only by playing SMB Wii can you stomp on your wife legitimately. Not that I recommend doing it in real life.

if you're poor and you steal to eat/feed your family, I think it's okay.

if you're poor and you steal to play video games.. errr. a bit wrong there.

We original gamers are not that rich. But we make do. There are avenues to get cheaper games. Buy second hand, off LY.net say. Or buy off US ebay, they are damn cheap there, sometimes only RM30 per disc! But the problem is getting it back to Malaysia lah. That's when your network of friends come into play.

See? there are ways and means of doing things.

and please define "purely geared"... we don't have to be console Nazis here lah.

For what it's worth, I also enjoy the PS3, especially since I didn't have to buy it.

I play both somebody else's PS3 and my Wii. Can I say I'm semi-hard err core?
