There has been a lot of hype about the Wii and PS3 coming out this week. Now personally I am a die hard Play Station fan. All my favorite game series are out on it; including my beloved Final Fantasy, SSX, and Resident Evil. Unfortunately with this new Playstation release there are approximately 400,000 released to the US, most of which are being picked up by die hards who are just taking them straight to Ebay for quick profits. On Ebay the rich will drop ridiculous amounts of money, on something that definitely isn’t worth 3k+. On top of all this you need to own an HDTV to truly get the best effect out of this new system. So if I were to say be lucky enough to stand outside for 3 days in the cold and finally receive a system, I would then need to go buy a two thousand dollar TV. Now maybe if FFXIII had been a release game I would have considered it, but until that game comes out, I could care less. Is it sad that I’d be will to go drop 2500$ to just play one game… talk about retardation.
The Wii on the other hand, I am extremely excited about. It doesn’t require HD. There are tons available, and even though Bestbuy and Target were both sold out today, I know I’ll be able to pick one up before Christmas. The 250$ price tag is much much friendlier. The game controller is supposed to be revolutionary and will make you break a sweat while playing, how cool is that. Plus I’ll be able to play all those long neglected Nintendo games I haven’t touched since the Super. Donkey Konga here I come 🙂
Side note, I’ll be in MN this Wednesday for thanksgiving. I am seeing “Happy Feet” that night. If you want in, message me and I’ll factor ya in. This movie is about tap dancing Rastafarian penguins how fucking cool is that!!
