I am considering getting a DS Lite. Not sure I will though.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm building a new computer in early February. E6600, 2Gb RAM, 8800GTS...*drool*

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just installed my 8800GTX :D

On the subject of computers...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Switching from AGP to PCI-E means getting a new motherboard, right-o?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I've been in need of a new graphics card (better one, rather) and some more RAM (only have a gig as it stands) for a while now, and with stuff like Supreme Commander coming up, I have no choice but to shell out some cash. But do I really need a whole new computer? Is it possible to just get a new motherboard, card, some RAM and call 'er a day, or will the motherboard not be compatible with some parts, not work right, or just plain suck?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I dunno'...Looking for a way to get out of spending $2000 on a beefy computer. :P Might as well, though...A freakin' card alone is gonna cost 1/4 of that.

Not if you have a motherboard with both, like I did. When I bought it last christmas I knew I'd want to upgrade my graphics card before I upgraded the motherboard so I got one with both AGP and PCI-E (ASROCK Dual-SATA2 it's called).

Nay, mine is only AGP. I went to buy my card a year and a half ago and they said they couldn't do any PCI-E ones, only AGP, so I got stuck with a mediocre Radeon 9250. :P It runs Dawn of War pretty smooth, which I'm happy with, but Company of Heroes got shot down...Characters and some terrain models wouldn't even load on it. Lame. So I know that I have to upgrade soon.

Up until this morning I would have said the Wii. But since this is the fifth time I've went up to the city and come home empty handed, I don't really want it anymore. Screw it, I have a computer that is good enough. Wasted enough time and money on that thing.

I cleaned out several of the 'spammy' posts. Please keep this thread on topic and do not flame the author about grammar.

Same, but if I go shopping for games and there just happens to be a spare Wii.... :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Not going out of my way anymore though

An upgrade to my PC.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After looking at the line up next year for games I decided to say forget console gaming again.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just installed my 8800GTX

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lucky bastard :D.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm waiting until Vista to upgrade. Also waiting to save up enough for a new system.

I've owned my xbox360 for about 4 months now, and besides replacing my original model, it has been totally reliable. It has better games then the ps3 and a better price. I might buy the Wii. I have played at a friends house and it is loads of fun, but there are only so many games and it is really only good for party games.

You can't ever find a place that's nice and peaceful, because there isn't any. You may think there is, but once you get there, when you're not looking, somebody'll sneak up and write "(bleep) you" right under your nose. Try it sometime. I think, even, if I ever die, and they stick me in a cemetery, and I have a tombstone and all, it'll say "Holden Caulfield" on it, and then what year I was born and what year I died, and then right under that it'll say "(bleep) you."

The Nintendo Wii, which I just got!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I just spent 14 hours in front of a Target getting my Wii, and man was it worth it!!! Zelda Twilight Princess and Wii sports are the only games I have so far, but man it just simply rocks!!!! Everyone should get the Nintendo Wii, they're just simply amazingly awesome consoles.

I already have the xbox360. I have played all of the systems and i can say that the wii is the worst and that the xbox360 is the best. The wii controller straps have been snaping and people are throwing the controllers into the T.V.

People are stupid, but that isn't a problem with the Wii, just people ;)

The PS3, but not at $500. I'll probably wait a few years until the price goes down to an affordable level.
The amusing thing about that - is in a few years when it's affordable, the next gen will be coming out; and they'll be better.

I actually don't really want any of the "next gen" systems. I want a DS Lite lol.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But out of the three, I'll take the Wii. Then the ps3 and lastly, the 360.

That is rubbish. The strap inst meant to replace a firm grip on the controller, it's just something to fall back on in case it slips and when I say slip, I mean "Whoops, I accidentally dropped it" not "It flew out of my hand when I was attempting to recreate a 150km pitch in Wii Sports baseball and the strap broke because it wasn't designed to handle that sort of force."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anyway, 360 is the next thing ill buy, if at all. I already own a Wii and there are several titles I'm looking forward to on it and there are a couple on 360 I want, such as Banjo Kazooie 3 and I have absolutely no interest in the PS3 at this time and probably wont. $1000AUD price tag FTL.
