Clever way to save us a massive quote. Nice!

Also, I made a Wii friends list that people can add to.

I'll add my name once I have a Wii. Wonder why no one else has. Bad visibility?

I can only assume. This is the first link I posted to it.

I got a Wii, an extra controller, Zelda and Excite Truck on opening day. Excite Truck is a great game- you steer by tilting the controller left and right. Wii Sports is fun too. I think Zelda is cool, but I'm stuck on the first dungeon. I have had a similar experience as a lot of other posters- I tend to be the only video game fan in the house, but since my family saw me playing Wii Sports for the first time, they have been playing nearly as much as me.

Now I'm just waiting for the extension cable to the sensor bar to be released, so I can connect the Wii to our home theater system (the projecter screen is too far away for the cable to reach, currently).

You can make a DIY wireless sensor bar with some IR LED's and a battery of some AA cells. http://doctabu.livejournal.com/64758.html.

On IGN, they say that you can just light two candles and the light given off by the candles will substitute in a pinch. Of course, the greater the intensity of the IR source, the farther away you can be from the screen so your results may vary.

I just played the wii and ps3 at microcenter. Is the ps3 controller the same as the ps2 one? I don't like the feel of the controller. I have a 360. Maybe i'm just used to it.

I then played some tennis on the wii. Graphics were awful but the game is pretty fun. This would make a great game for parties. My only concern is with all the reports of controllers getting thrown into the screen of tvs.

I think the 360 and ps3 will compete and the wii will be a great compliment to either. I'm seriously considering getting one to compliment my 360. Anyone want to buy an rs-1?

I'd trade my Wii for an RS-1 any day, any time.

I think this is where Nintendo have sneaked it in. People are getting a 360 and then complement it with a Wii or a PS3 and also a Wii. No many will get both the 360 and PS3 and certainly even less getting all 3.

ps3 controller only has minor differences such as the round playstation button in the middle and the changed r2 and l2 buttons

360 + wii = good combo for the price of a ps3

No, it just getting my priorities right. I just ordered a GS-1 and the total price can purchase pre released premium priced ps3 in Singapore. My friends critised me ' You are mad!!!' I am a casual gamer but a serious music lover.

I'll make room for both! The good thing for you is that you are all set now and if you change your mind down the road you will get one way cheaper.

Good luck with the GS-1's!

It also lacks the rumble feature and has a tilt-motion-sensor-thingy. (which appears to be gimmicky/not-so-useful from what I read)

You can buy an xbox360 + wii for around the same price as ps3, sure, but you still ain't gonna be able to play playstation titles. Like others have said, I think people will complement both systems with the wii, since each console has dedicated games that others don't.
