You can get over $100 on ebay for the XBOX.

Until Oct 15th you can get 80.00 for the XBOX trade toward a 360.

I'm thinking about getting a Wii. Tree hmain reasons:

1. I love the Mario and Zelda franchises
2. Cost (cheapest system, plus I don't have an HDTV)
3. Excited about the new style of controller
4. Access to the old library of games. Ok so it wasn't just 3, LOL

I'm really excited about the new controller as well. Have you seen videos for all the different uses of it, looks fun. I like the Mario and Zelda stuff too. I'm looking forward to it.

I just watched Madden videos on IGN, where they showed the game, but in the corner they showed the guys hands using the controller. Looked very fun, very natural. Their impressions of IGN were very positive about using the Wii to play Madden.

I'm very intrigued by the Wii. I'll probably end up picking one up over my Winter Break.

I am thinking of buying the Wii as a Christmas present to myself. It will be a fun Christmas break from school with a Wii.

That kinda sucks, but realistically why would you be playing a videogame when the sun is shining directly on your TV? Most people would close the curtains, shade, whatever so they can actually see the game they're playing.

Component cables to cost $60????? From Mad Katz of all companies (they are usually the ones with cheaper prices)

http://www.gamestop.com/product.asp?product%5Fid=802520

The S-Video is $40. What the %$#@#????

So if I got the Wii with component (because I want the sharpest picture possible) and a classic controller I spend $330. That seems a bit much. I am surprised they didn't put either a classic controller or at least S-Video cables with the console.

As a side note Gamestop should have the Wii available for pre-order in the next three days or so. It's been posted in other forums and my local shop said it would be starting tomorrow.

Red Steel shaping up nicely according to Nintendo Mag...

Controls have been vastly improved, due to three aspects. Final build Wiimote, refined sensor bar (most likely the one we saw last week at the Nintendo World Store), and Ubisoft’s time spent tweaking the game.

Gesture towards defeated enemies to tell them where to go.

Some aspects of the game are still a secret.

Graphics are simply amazing. Forget everything you have seen from all the Red Steel videos up until now. Unbelievably smooth character animations, night time dojo level is gorgeous, rain and lighting storm is very well done, compared to RE4’s village area, but more impressive.

One portion of the game has you escaping a burning dojo that features ” the best fire effects we’ve ever seen”.

Version of the game played was 16:9 widescreen 480p at 60 frames per second.

Hmmm, I wonder if the Gamecube components will work?

Will all games utilize the nun-chuk controller or just first-party games?

Depending on how much money I'll have around Christmas, I may pick the Wii up. It looks like a lot of fun and I've been looking forward to Zelda since it was announced.

Cool site....

Loving what I see so far except for the sunlight thing...Very happy to hear about how graphically impressive games like Metroid Prime really are too.

WOW! I hate to say this, but I'm a bit impressed with the controller even though I've been against it since it was announced. This is turning out more than an advanced XBOX 1 with a gimmick controller. I'm not 100% sold yet, but Zelda, GC BC, and the retro downloads are calling my name + my friend DXZeke keeps on trying to persuade me into buying one.

Oh, you know you're buying one.
