Wii's
« on: 17 September 2008, 17:18:09 »

OK -- I am confused.  I think SWMBO is planning to buy me a Wii for my upcoming b'day ( or maybe xmas), cos she has been asking all sorts of Wii related questions.

Anyway ---- in Littlewoods Direct they have a Wii console with Resident Evil at £219. Next to that they have a Wii sports console pack at £179. Is the sports console pack a "bolt on" console or a proper console ??

What's with these price differences ???

Every Wii comes with wii sports, its the default, any other games bundled are normally to save a few quid.

So .. Wii sportspack is like the base entry level model ??? That makes Resident Evil a mighty expensive game !!!!!!

Agreed, athough I found the novelty soon wore off, haven't used the Wii for 3 months or so, the 360 on the other hand gets used every day. If you want a serious game console and intend to play games like resident evil get a 360 or PS3. £40 quid for a game is about the norm these days, do yourself a favour and go to blockbusters and get preowned, you can get 2 or 3 used games for the price of 1 new 1!

You have to be mad to buy new! I'm so glad I didn't pay full price for some of my games as they weren't as good as I was expecting!

I think the PS2 gets most usage here, then the PS3.

Best Nintendo console is the DS we have 2

Don't really like the DS, gave it to little un. Its just so basic, its no better than the handheld games I used to play in the early 90's. Crap graphics and annoying repetitive sounds/music. She on the other hand loves it...
