Selling my nintendo wii

So after owning one of the most revolutionary pieces of gaming technology in the last decade or so, I have decided that it is now time for me to part ways with my nintendo wii! We had some fun times, battling against bowser and his minions in super mario galaxy (my favorite wii game). There were some disappointments as well, manhunt for example was an utter waste of my hard earned money. On the other hand, where manhunt fell off, mario & sonic at the olympic games made up for it along with super smash brothers and mario kart.

Why am I selling my wii?

First of all, i'm broke! Secondly, I realized that I hardly play it and have found myself to be more attracted to microsoft's xbox 360. The 360 has more games to choose from which explains the wider genre of games it offers. Additionally, priced a lot lower than sony's playstation 3 it speaks to the hearts of people like myself struggling to stay above the poverty line.

So after figuring that I had exhausted all the gadgets and amenities the wii has to offer I realized that I had not tried out the wii fitness board and wii fit. Why am I not surprised? First of all, at 6'2 165lbs, I doubt that I need any excercise. (I do run a couple miles each day, that should suffice enough). There is no way on this planet that I would make the wii fit plunge! I do not find it comforting burning up a sweat while engaging myself in something that should be relaxing!

It is my firm belief that I am ready to take the halo 3 leap and convert to the xbox 360. After bad mouthing microsoft for years I admit the console has grown on me, along with it's bulky controller. (thanks for making it more user friendly)

Anyway, macbooks' still rule, apple kicks serious #$%^ and windows sucks!

Video games - the next generation console battle.

I've been blessed enough to have ready access to most if not all the "good" consoles, and by good consoles I'm referring to the nintendo wii, microsoft xbox 360 and sony playstation 3 . Am I bragging? Yes! You're probably wondering why you should continue reading this article but wait a while and hear me out, I have valuable information you will want to keep handy when heading out to best buy or wherever you go to purchase your video games.

Nintendo Wii



Best Buy Price: 249.99
(includes wii controller  & nunchuck)

The good: Of the next generation (since 2005) consoles it is the most affordable and utilizes a control system that even your grand mother will love.

You can play your old (or new) gamecube games on the wii.

Super Mario Galaxy!

Microsoft Xbox 360



Best Buy Price:279.99 (core)
(includes 1 wireless controller)
 
The good: It's cheaper than the sony playstation 3
It has more games than the ps3
Xbox = Halo! (Not avaiable on other consoles)

The bad: 360's tend to have noisy processors

You have to pay for xbox live compatability (connecting to the internet)

The "red ring of death" - Basically, AIDS for your 360.

The ugly: It must suck to have your system mysteriously crash after a year of usage due to the red ring of death - VERY UGLY.

Sony Playstation 3



Best buy Price: 399.99

(includes 1 wireless controller)

The good: It's like having a PSP, only bigger - without the LCD screen. In other words, you can connect to the internet, watch movies, download music, videos, applications etc. (I don't think you can mod a ps3 yet though)

The controllers are very light. (almost too light)

The bad: Expensive

Has been known to suffer from overheating problems

There aren't as many games out for it when compared with the 360

The ugly: It's heavy and gaudy - Way too big especially when compared with the nintendo wii

After all is said and done, you may want to take the afforementioned things into consideration, it is YOUR MONEY that is being spent at the end of the day!
