280 - console
45 - wiimote
25 - nunchuk
50 - zelda
50 - trauma center
20 - nfs:carbon

I've only spent about $500 plus tax. Still already cheaper than a 360 or PS3, plus I have games to play and an extra set of controllers. Wii is still the "cheapest" gaming around. (***Besides PC, which will never be beaten)

Well, you don't need the most baller computer equipment to play most games... and you can get most games for "free" or a lot cheaper than console ports.

well ya... u get what u paid for... i don't mind the wii... but the graphic is really really bad for some games... like red steel... reminds me of playing the n64 ~ and at least if u buy a 360 or ps3... you are paying for the actual component since the 360 and ps3 wasn't making any money off of it in the beginning... compared to the nintendo wii which the cost to make was only 100bux us according to some spokeperson from nintendo.

sounds about right. best guesses are in q4 of this year, q3 if we're really lucky.

thankfully, this is very different from the xbox 360 sonic. it's almost like a racer in that you run on rails and "steer" sonic like how you would a car. sounds interesting, i *hope* it'll be good.

I'm also interested in ssx blur, which should ship around the same time as sonic.

http://www.ebgames.com/product.asp?product%5Fid=T000229

this is for brawl - release 6/01/07
http://www.ebgames.com/product.asp?product%5Fid=T000233

Man, I'm wasting so much money on these VC games. I know I can get ROM versions, but playing it on a big TV is more fun.

Just got Super Mario World, man does that bring back memories.

Hmm... I dunno about that. I think Link's Adventure was pretty much the worst Zelda made...
