don't actually like that controller. apart from it being really good for any game where u have to pretend u're holding a sword, baseball bat, golf club, racket etc, pointing n shooting it like a remote control, flying a plane by holding it like a model plane, or driving by holding a bar is rather daft.
why can't it be used like a joystick for plane games? its a stick anyways... for driving games, i prefer my steering wheel anytime, and shooting games should have an add on to the remote control so u can hold it like a pistol. -
i rber playing super mario bros on nintendo 20yrs ago...........

Actually PS3 is considered the cheapest new generation console. Heres whyOriginally posted by moongster:It is estimated to be half the price of PS3, I hope they have enough stock.

PS3 comes with a intergrated Blue-ray drive. This is a new technology set to replace DVD in the years to come. A blu-ray drive is estimated to cost US$ 600 to 1000 when it meets the market. Thus its like Sony had given you the blu-ray drive free!
Also, the adventage of having a blu-ray drive is that it only have 3 regional codes instead of 7. In this new coding system, Singapore is placed together with most major American and European countries. Meaning that now you can watch american version movies and play american version games.
Bad point is blu-ray disc, though have a large storage, have very strict protections. And till now, there not a single way to crack its protection and mass produce pirated version of the game or movie. -
u're not the only oneOriginally posted by Gordonator:i'm not impressed. -
20 yrs ag , many brands of consoles. But nintendo was still top for years. Now only 3 brands Sony, MS and Nintendo, they still make losses selling console and no longer no 1.Originally posted by FireIce:i rber playing super mario bros on nintendo 20yrs ago...........
It is funny how economics and businesses work especially in the entertainment industry. -
I think its because Nintendo is not open enough to choices of games. Seriously, I get sick of their games after i turned 8Originally posted by Homecoming:20 yrs ag , many brands of consoles.

Well, in terms of brute power, Wii certainly can't beat PS3 or XBox360. Hence, the graphics pale in comparison to both the consoles. I'm just impressed with its innovation and the fun gameplay it offers.
Will have to see what games they support.
As for PS3, I will not pay for the extra BluRay reader because I don't need it. -
nah,does not appeal to me.
The sensor moving stick will get tedious soon,maybe at least to me. -
now i like to play DOA4 on xbox360
but im a PS sarporter....... -
omg its juz wad im looking for in console. (closer den ps junk)
i never like consoles becuz of its control, i'll definitely save up for this one.

I support the underdogs
But I hope Nintendo comes out with newer games... -
Yup, now still ok. But since all the big companies joined in the war between Blu-ray and HD-DVD, all it takes is 5 years max till theres no more DVD and CD in the market. Yup, traditional market strategy, if they can't pursuade you to upgrade, they will force you into it.Originally posted by moongster:Well, in terms of brute power, Wii certainly can't beat PS3 or XBox360.

As for PS3 and 360's graphics, sadly, there no difference observed on a normal TV. You need to buy another HD-TV to see the enhancement in graphics. Thats another few k in the budget. Haix... need to spent big time liao

That's why it is still better to go with Nintendo. Save some bucks and buy a few packs of beer to go along - I tell you, beer makes game looks better haha.

if i am not wrong, there is a joystick controller which can be connected to the candy-bar like controller for addtional smoother movement control.Originally posted by HENG@:don't actually like that controller. apart from it being really good for any game where u have to pretend u're holding a sword, baseball bat, golf club, racket etc, pointing n shooting it like a remote control, flying a plane by holding it like a model plane, or driving by holding a bar is rather daft.
