I wouldn't waste money on an xbox 360 or a ps3, but I would buy a wii just because it does what consels are good for, which is playing with friends and being fun.

I'm going to haev to build one of those projectors :)

Yeah, the computer I paid $700 for the parts for about 3-4 years ago still plays most games and I'm just using a 256mb radeon 9600. I never disagreed that comp gaming is a waste, just dont think consoles are useless either. I play rts and fps on comp, racing and halo on xbox. I haven't bought a game since halo 2 so havent upgraded my computer (and wont any time soon).

My pj will be done the weekend after i get all the ------- parts....they need to hurry up...

By now it's probably only the 10th best. Computers change to fast. $300 for a wii and a game is more interactive and fun then a PC anyday. Don't get me wrong PCs are fun but the wii interactivity and playability kicks ass. I have a gyro mouse that acts alot like the wii controller and even so the wii is more fun.

PS. That homemade projector is the ----.

btw I have a built computer (ordered parts from newegg) and play games on it. But before I spend $600 on a compy video card i'll go buy a used 360 for $300, hack it, download/rent and copy the games on a $1 disc. I would buy a pc before I bought a video game system, but i'd buy a video game system before i'd build a "mad tyte gaming rig"

www.lumenlab.com/ < - go to forums they have info on building

I'll post pics of mine playin porn when its done

I can't remember if I got them at newegg.com or pricewatch.com but yeah it was a good deal! Was a promotion I luckily caught. Verbatim ones too, never had a coaster ;D

I got a $30 samsung dl/lightscribe/18xdvdr/rw +/-/dvd-ram/everythingelseexcept bdrom/hddvd and it's GREAT, found it on newegg. Don't need lightscribe or dvd ram but why the hell not for the price? Nice burning dvds in less than 5 minutes too :D

newegg has decent prices on DL dvd's, even good media like verbatims...but not for $1 each...anyone know when more Wii's will be available in stores? i heard something about the 17th of this month....

All i need are some DL dvds and i can start burning my 360 games, ive had all the firmware updates..just havent taken the time to update it yet.

You take it apart, connect the drive to your sata port, boot into dos and run a couple programs to backup the firmware and upgrade to a hacked one. Download isos from the interweb, burn onto dl discs, and enjoy.
