I asked what 'Model' it is, "Its one of the first ones, its white." Everything work well, any problems to report? "No problems at all, man, we played it just the other night." Any games/accessories? "Three controllers and three games; NHL, Mortal Kombat vs. DC, and NBA Jams."

    $55 is the standing offer.


    Well?
    Avoid that shit like the plague. There's a reason it's 55$.

    If you're serious about wanting a 360 then look out for a slim or a Jasper (most reliable revision of the fat consoles)

    Chances are, if you have to ask if Nintendo has any games "for you", you're probably not in Nintendo's target audience as far as the Wii is concerned.

    Also, you don't really need those huge HDD storage options for the wii. There's no install or huge DLC packs and the marketplace games are quite tiny. HDD use is pretty much purely for piracy. Which is why you won't find a Wii bundled with a fuckhuge HDD the way you will the other systems.

    Other than that I'm not sure.
    Don't waste your money on a Wii. It's fun for a while, but then you get tired of flapping your arms around. The motion controls are just tacked on as a gimmick, and the same games are better with traditional controls. The exclusives might be ok, but they're all rehashes of old games.

    Man, someone needs to do a proper film adaptation of Castlevania. Not too many CG effects, mostly make-ups, costume, and latex/rubber animatronic creatures. ONLY use the CG for things like magical transformations and creatures that would be far too difficult to do in-camera. Classical soundtrack, of course, though I can hear 'Holy Diver' playing during certain scenes...and they should find a way to work Dante (Devil May Cry) into the film, as well!! Ok, ok...I'm done..
    You've got them all.

    Also, http://castlevania.wikia.com/wiki/Ca...nia:_The_Movie if it ever actually gets made.

With current revisions they're a lot more efficient, run cooler in general and if you install games to the hard drive you'll obviously reduce the heat considerably.
    Biggest issue is the use of lead-free solder, since leaded solder is illegal in "children's toys" manufactured in China.

    Wii is the cheapest, but it's also the least powerful. And less powerful generally translates to more reliable with electronics.

    There are actually a decent number of adult-oriented games. I've heard good things about No More Heroes, and there's an Oneechanbara game for the Wii, if you're into gratuitous boobs and blood and mediocre gameplay. Both are hack and slash games. There are plenty of other games that aren't particularly adult oriented, but are still enjoyable.

    All Wii consoles have 512MB internal flash memory, with space for SD cards. The new Wii's aren't backward compatible any longer, so if you get an older version (before this year) you have the entire GC library to pick from as well.

    As for games, RE4 came out on the Wii, and there's an iteration of of House of the Dead.

    I wish there were more Wii games that actually pique my interests.
    Then it wouldn't stay there, unplayed forever.
    WHY DON'T YOU BRING XENOBLADE OVER, NINTENDO?!?!?!?! Fuck you, Reggie.
    At least there's my Dreamcast.

    Also, I finally got around to playing ME2. I enjoyed myself. A lot.

    Maybe too much.

    Laugh at me, I deserve it. I have about 90 GB more to get, then all my movies and Star Trek Episodes...

    And you can never, EVER, have too much fun with Mass Effect
