I understand what you can use a SD card for. What I don't understand is how to use it with the Wii.

MS is in the hole more than that on the 360

Numbers include:

Microsoft: -1billion for in 2007 from warranty extension. Marginal profits made from Zune and other small divisions in the same department.

Sony: Profits from PS2 and other Sony game brands.

Nintendo: $$$$$$

Oh my bad, I misread what you wrote, yea, I haven't been able to find a way to use it on my wii either. Sorry about that.

did any of you guys ever play the old PC game tribes? that game was so sick.

I hadn't played Super Mario Galaxy in months (since March 7, according to my save file, not coincidentally just before I got Smash Bros). I stopped playing it in part because I was going to play the other Mario console games in order before I got to Galaxy and in part because of Brawl, and later, Kart and GTA 4. In fact, I barely played it at all, getting only the first two stars, then playing other games instead.

But I randomly decided to put it in the other day. Holy crap, it's a fun game! Now I wish I hadn't stopped playing it. It's honestly a lot more fun than GTA 4 is. I know I really should finish GTA 4, but Galaxy is really engrossing. But I still haven't finished Yoshi's Island, Mario 64, or Mario Sunshine. (One reason I wanted to play Galaxy last was that, after playing Galaxy, I didn't want to be disappointed by previous generation 3-d Mario games.)

Decisions, decisions . . .

IMO GTA 4 is not all that, at all. I think the main thing it had going for it was production values which was just enough to leave you in 'shock and awe' for a few days, but the gameplay's pretty mediocre once the initial 'wow' factor fades and you start to see how empty and repepetitive that great big world really is. After unlocking the third island in GTA 4, I started to get really bored of it and had an urge to replay Crackdown. Now (after finishing Crackdown for the third time) I can't even force myself to play GTA 4 just to get the Live points - and I'm a points whore.

It's silly how it was getting 10/10 reviews left and right. Isn't it a reviewer's job to see through the initial shock and awe (or in some cases, the exact opposite) and actually get the dirt of how much fun a game actually is, through and through? It sometimes seems like reviewers fall victim to hype even more than gamers.

Tribes was incredible and so far ahead of itself it barely registered on peoples radar. It had so much to it for a multiplayer game released back when it was. Laying down sensors and turrets to defend an area, vehicles, mines, different character types. It really was a great game, shame it didn't do better.

It blows my mind that Sony and Microsoft are down so much money with their consoles. I can't believe they aren't in the green, let alone down a combined 6 ****ing billion dollars. I don't see how that can be right, jesus.

I'm debating either getting a Wii or a PS3, but I think I'll get a Wii because I already have a 360 which shares mostly the same games as the PS3. There's a ton of accessories for the Wii (no surprise, Nintendo has always been that way since the SNES), but which ones should I actually get? I see a bunch of Wii packages with all kinds of crap for like $500-600 but I'm sure it includes a lot of stuff I don't want/need. I think it's a better idea to just buy the console by itself for $250 or whatever and then get the extra accessories I need. I don't know, but I'm open to suggestions there.

This is why it would be a horrible, horrible idea for EA to make a console. They don't have the infinite money pit that Sony and Microsoft do.

Most accessories are pointless on the Wii. Here's what you need:

* Extra Wii Remote(s) (depending on how many people will be playing it at once).

* A nunchuk for each extra Wii Remote

* One (or more) Gamecube or Wii Classic controllers if you'll be playing VC games or if you prefer a traditional controller for games like Brawl and Kart

That's pretty much it. Wii Fit comes with the board you'll need for it. If you're into DDR, you'll need a mat, but that comes with it also. Same with Guitar Hero and Rock Band controllers. They make rechargeable battery packs, but I find nothing wrong with just buying a 24 pack of AAs and switching as necessary.

I just got Lego Indiana Jones in the mail the other day too. It's a lot of fun, although a little too similar to the Star Wars games. You still have most of the same character types and similar puzzles, but the good thing is the changes in characters and settings make it fresh enough to enjoy.

Seriously, well put.

So much strategy to the game it was amazing, all the different layouts on your character.. could essentially design your own class.

Each base had radar, and power generators, defenses etc, that could be both destroyed and repaired. There was a 'commander' role, with a whole overhead map view that could assign task to the rest of the team.

The jet packs were so sweet, and required tons of skill to master.

This is definitely one of the most underrated PC shooters of all time imo.

Definitely agree with tribes being amazing. My first online fps. They had a great system with clans too.

The vehicles were amazingness.

anyone playin fifa 08 right now?

Alright so I ordered a Wii (god forbid being able to actually go to any store and buy one), just the standard console and whatever that comes with. I plan on getting the following games: Zelda: Twilight Princess, Super Mario Galaxy, Super Smash Bros Brawl, Mario Party 8, and Mario Kart Wii.

I know there's a ton of games for the Wii but aside from those I don't really know what some other good titles are. Any suggestions?

Other high rated games: Resident Evil 4, Okami, Metroid Prime 3, Zack and Wiki, Super Paper Mario, Boom Blox

About a year ago, I remembered how awesome Ecco the dolphin was and how the end was impossible and that I never beat it. So I picked it up and played it from the start, again loving it but not being able to beat the end, eventually losing interest. I was just looking through my old computer and found my save file, so now once and for all I'm gonna beat this game.

Then it's on to Ecco 2, another game I loved but never finished but this was because there was something wrong with the cartridge and the game ****ed up about 60-70% through. I have never read walkthroughs or watched videos so I hope (although doubt it is the case) that the ending of that one isn't nearly as difficult as the first game

Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn was almost enough for me to pick up a Wii by itself. It's turn based strategy and apparently very challenging.

Yeah, once I get my RRODed box back I will be.

this is very slightly NSFW

i was watching a pron and look what i found (can't really see anything)

loooooool

LOL, probably filmed in the director's house.

lol I was watchin pr0n a couple days ago and the chick was playin halo before givin the bj. Makes it hotter imo.

Picked up GrimGrimoire for PS2 yesterday after reading good stuff about it. Pretty lame game about 2 hours in right now. There is a reason all RTS games are for PC.

Just bought the original metal gear solid for Playstation on E-bay. The reason was I found my old copy and cd1 was missing. So why not? it was only $10
