Off topic chat. Basically anything that doesn't concern halo or halo modding can go here.

it's because microsoft's marketing department thought it would be good. besides, if someone that didn't know anything about next-gen consoles wanted to buy one, would they rather buy a PS 3, or an xbox 2 :roll: .

Most definitely. It's in my price range. It's nintendo. They know how to make games and their games aren't redundant. I would get a 360, but I don't play many FPS's or racing games. And unlike some people I'm not going to buy it just for 2 or 3 games. That's insane. And there's no way I'm paying for internet play. I've got internet. I'm not paying twice for some arcade games and a game lobby. =/

Who would spend $500 for "real-time weapon change" and "Japanese fighting crabs"?

liek me!

I like the Wii's controller, it seems to suck you into the game more. Like that one FPS they are making, its a shame you can't walk, however, you will actually have to point and shoot. Interactive games are so much more fun than just ones that you use a controller with.
Such as one of my flight sims, its kinda boaring with a mouse and keyboard, but with a mega hax joystick and a keyboard, now thats fun :twisted:

I'm going to get one. It looks like it could make a new way of playing games.

I'm probaly not gonna buy one, some of the games look sorta fun though, but I'm not loaded, but I'd rather spend that much money on some awesome 360 games, like double agent, and HL2 for 360.
