I tried putting in another game, nothing. I tried all of my games, nope. I tried putting in a DVD, nope. Whatever in the machine reads the disks somehow died. I just bought a PS3 last week. I've seen an article that says the WII is four times more reliable than the PS3 and 10 times more reliable than the Xbox 360. Wii...seems like a childs system to me..but I guess..I have no choice.

Wii sucks. Its built for the casual gamer and thus gets robbed of the more intricate and in depth games. New x-boxes shouldn't have a RROD problem anymore.

Fultz4thewin 2,464 Report post Posted November 6, 2009 one of the best things about getting a PS3 though is you also get the best blu ray player on the market. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
richnba 3 Report post Posted November 6, 2009 Mario Cart on the Wii is one of the best games around.As is smash brothers, if you are into Nintendo type games its a fun system. Saying that, I base this off the time I take to play it whenever I go to bestbuy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Catman Forever 0 Report post Posted November 6, 2009 I'm on my 4th 360; all my 3 previous systems fell victim to the RROD. Their support is as helpful and informative as an outsourced company can be, but what a pain it is to explain to my son why he can't play Lego Star Wars for a week or two at a time. He does love the Wii, though, and no problems at all with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Hi-Top 791 Report post Posted November 9, 2009 I bought one of the original 360's when they first came out, put on that Nyco Intercooler fan add on, and I have never had an issue. Also, if you are going to buy two systems, make one of them a Wii. It's a lot of fun, and because it's more for the casual gamer, it's a lot friendlier for random gaming nights with friends if not everyone is into video games as much as you. Xbox Live is a better online system for gaming versus the PS3 online option, but it also cost $40 a year or so, while the PS3 is free. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jareth Cutestory 678 Report post Posted November 9, 2009 I spilled 1 tiny drop of water on my ps3 controller and it fried it. PS3 controllers cost about 50+ bucks. I had to buy a logitech one that doesn't have the axis feature. I also have a 360 that sounds like it's taking off for flight everytime I play it. My Wii wouldn't work until I did a hard reboot. My point being. All video game systems have their faults. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
