You're in luck, the Wii has a standard controller.
Also, yes, the PC wins. It's cheaper to repair and upgrade so you don't have to buy another PC you can just buy the parts you need and they're not that expensive really. Not here that is.
Let me rephrase: I prefer simple buttons as opposed to motion, hence why I am not looking forward to Natal at all.
I would be a PC gamer, but I can't afford to upgrade my graphics card every couple years, I'd rather just have a console I can rent games for. I play a few classic PC games like Civilization III and Half-Life though.

Let me rephrase: The Wii has a standard controller that doesn't respond to motion.

Gfx cards aren't that expensive depending on where you get it. I download games before I buy them, it's better to buy them than download them because then you are guaranteed that they aren't going to blow up in your face.

Just so you know I do have a Wii tongue I just prefer my 360.

Also, what do you mean by downloading before buying?

PS3 has Ratchet&Clank Future and Metal Gear Solid 4

As far as I'm concerned PS3 is AWESOME!

First of all Wii has every right to be in the console war. I'm really starting to not trust your maturity levels now. It has quite a few enjoyable games, not to mention the uniqueness. For example, how about Wii sports? Its different from plenty of games, and is way more interactive body wise than other games. Its simply fun, since its a nice way to play and get exercise, loosing a few pounds maybe lol, without worrying about being turned into a crisp over-baked hotdog.
Second, its unlike all the other controllers. In which are the controllers, other than Nintendo rip-offs? They started it. They can change it if they want. Plus it doesn't have any thing like Red Ring of Death or whatever PS3's was. Thus making it even better.
Worn off? What the heck is that supposed to mean? There's plenty of people who don't regret getting the Wii in the least. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean everyone in the world doesn't like it. Besides, Nintendo didn't go and over price a system like Sony did.
Like Sony and 360 don't have fan boys? All three have fan boys. If anything that comment was just foolish.

The red ring of death was known on the XBox 360's not the PS3 (because the PS3's hardware owns!:D). The PS3's only major problem now is that they no longer have backwards compatibility (which is a load full of bull).

Yeah, but I could have sworn the PS3 had something like it. Yellow light of Doom is it?

The only problem I have with the 360 is I have to $50 to play all their games online when all the games are on PC which I can play for free and they're much easier to play. Other than that, I like the controllers.

Exactly that. I go and download the game, install it, see if I like it. Then buy it.

Yellow light of death. I just checked.
Its like the red ring of doom. Its just something that comes up when the system doesn't work anymore. Like if the 360 over heated, or got a power surge (From black outs) it'll stop working, and the circle that's usually green when turned on has all four parts lighten up. Its the same for a PS3, however rather than having a red ring, its a yellow light that comes on. Sorry for my poor explaining abilities, I don't have a PS3 and don't know exactly what causes it, or this would probably be more understandable.

Its not common anymore, but its still there I think.

Apoc · Jun 10, 2010 2:33 PM

The Red Ring of Death is the 360 overheating and the Yellow Light of Death is the PS3's hard drive failing.

Black dragon · Jun 10, 2010 2:43 PM

Okay, thank you.

No prob. Also my Wii hasn't updated in months which is good, because then it won't hamper my gaming experience.

Black dragon · Jun 10, 2010 3:05 PM

I remember the PS3 updating once and there were quite a few problems.

Never heard of Wii Homebrew? Works if your wii isn't updated for a long time. But yeah, I find it kinda unfair.

Nope, never really paid any attention to the updates really.
