Do you like the name 'Wii'?

[Snake]

The PS3 is supposed to be around $600 for the 60 GB one, so buying an XBox 360 and a Wii will be about the same price as one PS3.

I like what Reggie Fils-Aime said about the name at a press conference: "We want to thank everyone who wrote good things about it the day you heard it...both of you."

[Miss Jade]

Geez...600 bucks? Who in their right mind is going to pay all that money for a game system, when you can just buy a computer for around that same price and get far more?

[Akane-la]

How much is the Wii?

Aww, crap! It took me over a year for my parents to buy me a DS, and I hardly play with it.

And right now I'm saving up for a pocket bike. ;_;

Nintendo still hasn't released the price, although it should be around the price of the Gamecune ($300 CDN at launch).

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wii

Specs for the machine. Wikipedia is a little unreliable, but it fits in with most of what I've heard. And Gamecube games can be played on the console!

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_Console_(Wii)

No Rare games, exept DK games.

EDIT: damn, I can't get the VC link to work...copy the link, including (Wii), and it should work.

The first name they had was kind of cool! Nintendo Revolution. Simple but cool. But then they made it Wii.

Wii did they make it wii? wii'll never know. (actually they do have a reason but whatever)


*cough* Anyway pardon those puns (poorly imputed pun if I don't say so myself). Now I shall strike with impunity against the wii.

Meh.

I heared the Wii will be 250 at the most. I don't really care, as long as my dad'll get it for me for Christmas, it should be out by then. The name's like anything else wierd, you get used to it after a while.

Now let's see how many suckers'll by the 500+ PS3...

Yea, I liked the name: Nintendo Revolution too. I think they should have kept with that name. You can't make in fun of it like you can with Wii.

[Lady Musica]

Hmm...If I remember correctly, the reason for PS2/3 and XBox/360 are so expensive is the add-ons, and more importantly, the ability to play DVDs. I know the Wii can play them, but you have to get a key to use that feature, whereas Sony and Microsoft make you pay for it, whatever.

PIE!!!
anyways, I hate it and despise it and write it on a peice of paper and throw it in the fire then write it on a target and throw darts at it. Hit the letters and you get 20000000 points. J/k


Okay, now that thats done...

[Kel]

I got used to it after a while, but I still make jokes! XD

[almarabel]

What's the real pronounciation anyway? Is it like "wee" or "why"?

[mairin]

If you looked it up (or heard anyone say it), it's wee.
