I dont see the appeal of the wii, I'd only want it to play the O.G games like Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Conkers Bad Fur Day etc. but I can always pull out my N64 if I ever want to play them. The new controller seems like a stupid concept, while more interactive, it has no appeal to me. The graphics look the same as the N64 from the previews I've seen of it.

The graphics are definitely better than N64 graphics, maybe you're thinking of GameCube. See, you think the controller is a stupid concept.. while I think it'll be fun and unique compared to the regular controller system that's been used forever. Not to mention you'll still be able to use a regular controller for some games.
I saw some guys playing some racing game on the Wii at gamestop yesterday. The graphics didn't seem to be all that better than PS2, Xbox to be honest with you. Maybe it was the game.
Early on most next gen games aren't all that special, developers need a feel for the game. Gears of War is the only truly next gen game out there and it took a year after the 360 to come out for it to happen.

They're selling pre-orders which are going up to $2500 plus. There's always other places to sell though.

NO WAY!! <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">OK, we were willing to believe that PS3 pre-orders were regularly going for over $2,000 on eBay. We even entertained the possibility that selling prices of over $30,000 might actually be legit. But someone willing to pay just short of $100 million for a PS3? That's nearly half the gross domestic product of Tonga! The sad part is that it's hard to tell from the bid history exactly when the auction went from serious pre-order offer to joke-bidding extravaganza. Our best guess is that by the time eBay user mrsophistication placed the first six-figure bid, all logic and good sense had gone out of the proceedings. We can't help but feel bad for jason_138, who bid Sony's asking price of $600 only to be outbid by tens of millions of dollars. Better luck next time Jason. Now that the PS3 has gone from pre-order possibility to actual retail product, will we see average auction prices decrease, or will short supplies lead to continued bidding frenzies throughout the holiday season?</div> Source
Me and my friends were at a GameStop yesterday and we saw the kids playing NBA 07 ON PS3. That thing was so damn shiny. For NBA 07 though, the graphics were awesome. I plan on getting a 360, so I asked the guy what he suggests is a better system and he totally slammed PS3. He said something like the whole recharging batterys for the wireless controller is a sham or something.
<div class="quote_poster">Apollo Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">He said something like the whole recharging batterys for the wireless controller is a sham or something.</div> Wow, I better not get a PS3 now. The recharging the batteries thing what a system killer... You just get what you want based on what you like...or if you are a fanboy of a system.
I was following a bid on ebay for PS3 on Friday morning. There were 6 minutes left and it was at $4000. In 6 minutes, the bid went from 4g's to 15 grand! It may have been bogus, but still...people can't wait 3 months? Spending 2-4000 bucks on something they can get for 600. I dont get it.
I think I said it before more money then sense. It's the whole I must have it before everyone else thing that people suffer from. Man I can wait, I got plenty of PS2 and X-Box games to play, I don't need to spend $4000 on a console which has an increased chance of stuffing up then when I can get it for a lot less then even $600 ($1000 in Aus) and less of a chance of stuffing up.
