regardless if one is better than the other
has more or better games
is cheaper or inexpensive to this$ and that$


or even it has the latest greatest:

x-feature
y-option
z-link


as long as you have fun with it
and a good gaming experience with it.
Besides...of course, its your money and choice.

ahhhhhhhh!!, True.

I might even buy a HyperScan console.
And/or check out the games over at Best Buy too.

In all honesty, I've never really been that big of a gamer, though.

I mean, I code games all the time, and I do play a LOT of games.. But I'm not one for finishing games, and certainly not someone who keeps going back for "100%" completion rates.
The only games I can think of, that I bothered to finish, in the past few years are Half Life 2 and Mario vs Donkey Kong 2. All other games, I tend to "Play" with. Load it up, enjoy it for a while, then get bored.

The perfect console for me, is the one I can "play" with the most. And right now that's bother the Wii and the DS.

The DS is probably the console that gives you the most fun for your money. As much as I think Nintendo f***ed up the Wii I think for the DS they need a memorial =)

One of the best things about the Wii is it's pointer.

I honestly think that's going to become the norm in future... If not for gaming, then certainly for remote controls..

Just after I got the Wii, a mate of mine got a "Super Hi-Tech TV Media Center PC!!!" for Xmas, with it's own "Super Amazing Remote!!" (You know the "fancy" one's with the little thumb-sticks on..)

..
But the remote couldn't point and click!! It looked so amazingly crappy without that ability!

To think that all it needs is a couple of LEDs and the little camera/sensor chip thing. Definatly something that all TV's, Digital Boxes, DVD/HDDVD players and more should be getting in the future.

Preferably with a standard LED bar that can be powered by your TV, or a seperate plug, or even a little rechargable one... Or maybe even have them built into the TV..

Jay,

I used to play lots of games in the past.
haha!! "games in the past"--> game sin the past.

anyway, yeah I know how its like
not to completely finish games.

I think the only games that I completed
or if I remember are Bards Tale 1,2,3
Buck Rogers: Countdown to Doomsday, Treasures of
the Savage Frontier, Might and Magic 3,4,5.

To this day...I still have not finished Wasteland,
Fallout, and Fallout 2. And here I am waiting for
FAllout 3.

I still not fully played Might and Magic 6. I almost
did and I was at the last Castle for the few remaining missions and quests before the final quests in my village
of Sweet Water.
But, at the time and many yyears ago I deleted the game for some reason cause I bought and installed Fallout 2. And the most that I ever got to was infiltrating China town in San Francisco. Looking for the experimental flying saucer craft.

So, I have re-installed Might and Magic 6.
The muscles are mightly flexed and the magics
are all mystically powered up. Its ready to play again.
And Falagar the wizard beckons me to come and immerse myself
again.

cheers

I've got Buck Rogers: Countdown to Doomsday on the Mega Drive. That was an awesome game.

I agree about the Wii pointer, but it's also about how well it's implemented. Even when your off at a 45 degree angle to the tv, and it becomes really shaky, it's still perfectly usable. It's so natural, and it makes the Wii a multi-purpose system rather then just a console (which unlike Sony and Microsoft isn't what Nintendo wanted their machine to be).

When I was at home I used to get up and check the news, the weather and Everybody Votes each morning. It's so awesome, it just needs some games to make it complete.
