Okay so im about to purchase one of these three soon and im needing help on which one. At one point I was definately gonna get the Wii but after not getting it on launch it got me to thinking how im only getting it for Zelda and how Zelda is coming to GC and how the controlls are a bit iffy on Wii and most likely better on GC, only prob is I have to wait longer for GC ver (way to screw the GC fans nintendo.) WIth the Amazon $100 360 deal its looking mighty tasty, and I wouldnt mind playing the New sonic (I loved sonic adventure) Rainbow six vegas, Gears Of War, and the demo for Lost Planet is awesome though its not released till Jan.

Finnaly there is the DS which ive been thinking of getting for awhile now with the hopes to play such games as Mario Kart, Tetris, Children of mana, FF3, Castlevania the last one released and the Portrait coming soon, though this doesnt fix my console addiction. Though it is the cheapest of the bunch in the long run...

I dont know what do you guys think. I may have to snag the $100 360 regardless to get that price and if I get one of the other two than i'll hold off on buying a harddrive or any games for my Xbox.

Or maybe I should keep playing goodies like Ookami and FF12, wait a month for GC Zelda and see how long I can stay in the last gen era.

I'd say don't plan on getting the 360 for $100. I'm gonna try for it too, but there's only 1,000 units in that sale and the story has spread far and wide over the net. They're going to be gone in no time, so avoid considering as an option. If you do get one, it's complete luck and that's all good but don't get your hopes up.

That said, my advice would be to go with the DS for now. Grab a Wii or 360, whichever you like the library better for, when there's a price drop or an amazing bundle. Try to get a 360 on Thursday.

I'll have to second that DS recommendation. It has Elite Beat Agents! Plus a handful of other fun games out now and coming soon. It can hold you over until you are able to actually find a Wii...

Why wasn't PS3 a choice? Smile

Yeah, I had that too. No fun at all, having the page not even load 5 minutes before the sale happened. Wanna know how people actually sold old?

They used the https server instead of the regular http, it was the same page with comparatively no load.

Got my DS, and FF3. Played Wii for first time yesterday. Sportspack is pretty cool. Bowling and Golf rock the most. Tennis has potential if you could actually move your character, and the d-pad being in a comfortable spot when holding the controller I dont see why not. If nothing else it shows how cool a game that is soley that genre of sport could be.

Zelda..hmmm..I hoped it to be a bit better looking but thats no big deal. The controlls on the other hand are not really my cup of tea, and given the fact that you can hook a GC controller to the Wii, and that the game was originally created around the GC and its controller I dont see why you cant use the GC controller to play this on Wii. We'll its not like im stumbling into Wii's for sale anyways, if I end up getting to close to GC release of Zelda i'll hold off. Oh, Trauma Center: Second Opinion is pretty cool, and I like the title.
