Wii --> Playstation 3

[AA7]

Being a Nintendo fan since the SNES days you'd think I'd be a Nintendo fanboy, right? Wrong. My view of Nintendo changed a few days ago when I bought the Playstation 3 (for $400).

Once I started playing it was incredible. The graphics were a HUGE upgrade, I could upload movies and music, play blue-ray discs, message my friends while playing NBA '09 online in a match, chat with friends while playing Call of Duty with a headset, have a personal name instead of a friendcode, experience the PS3's awesome online: recieving highlights from sportcenter, commentating from ESPN, an update of injuries and rosters in NBA Live '09 and more! This is two days after buying a PS3 and I'm already loving it over my Wii. So many features, so much memory, where does it end?

The only reasons for me liking the Wii now are: this site, the [FC] clan, the childish games that kick-ass like brawl and because Nintendo has a lot of exclusive titles that keep me loyal to this console still. Even though the Wii isn't that great compared to the PS3 in features, it's games are still great.

I'm still a Wii fan but it seems like the PS3 is making me change sides. That's bad as my whole childhood gaming started with Nintendo and this is my first time buying a Playstation. I'll probably still be a loyal Nintendo fan because of my friends here on this site. I just wanted to share my perspective on the transition from the Wii to the PS3.

Please no arguing my opinons on each console, keep them to yourself.

Thanks for reading,
AJ.

Tru dat.

I've hardly touched my DS since I got a PSP.

Hmm, I was going to get an X-BOX 360...

Maybe I should get a Playstation 3 instead...

Well it all depends on your budget. Are you willing to pay two-hundred dollars more for the PS3 or settle with the X-Box 360?
The PS3 is still better for the reasons I provided and has exclusive titles like Medal Gear Solid 4 on it. The X-360 has it's problems such as the ring of death and you have to pay to play online. I'd go with the PS3.

Well, in Nintendo's defense this is the best time to buy a PS3. They're finally beginning to release some high-caliber games, the price has been docked $200 -

- wait. Let's see that again: $200.

As in two. Hundreds. I'll let that sink in.

Anyway, you might have taken a different stand had you bought one on launch day. :p I'm just sayin'.

But the PS3 is lookin' mighty good lately. I'm still hot for MGS4.

Will I don't blame you lol same happened with my psp and ds but now i sold my psp and ds for money anyways yes i will admit the ps3 has much to offer but if you look through loop wholes you will find a few features equal to that of the ps3 hope you do stay loyal to the wii though it is a good console aswell

things i hope you knew you could do on the wii

play dvds(not sure about the features since i still am working on buying myself an sd card to download this feature)

something by the name of Gecko Hack not sure what it does but it does do many thing reason for not having this is the same as the above but yea ill be purchasing an sd card very shortly maybe next week ill have one and when i do ill be sure to go into more detail on these things for you

store things in your controller

uhh something called WiiTube here is a bit of info on that(not typed by me)

Well we have a great release here. Dev AlienMind has given the world a YouTube video client for the Nintendo Wii. This is based on the popular open source multimedia player MPlayer. This application will either let you watch streams from the site or let you download them first then watch them. Obviously as this is the first release, it is a bit slow so it's best to save the video's to play them. to use WiiTube, you must configure "mplayerwii.conf" file located in the archive. Here is an example of a playlist. Notice that the youtube_cache is set to "1" which will download the video first before playing.
# WiiTube - videos embedded in a youtube link
youtube_cache = 1 # Will download the flv to SD
stream = YouTube - Enjuto Mojamuto en Inglés. El peor día de mi vida
stream = YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.
stream = YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.
All I can say is what a great release. I will be sure to keep everyone updated on further releases and updates of this. To use this dump the contents of the zip straight to the root of your SD card.

something called WiiSX heres a bit of info on it again not typed by me and there is also a video on it tell me if you want to see it

Well as the Wii scene has been lacking in outbursts of news recently, you will have to accuse my lack of posting on the scene. However the guys over at tehskeen have been told by Emu_kidid, Sepp256 and TehPola that there is a PS1 or PCSX emulator in the works for nintendo's console. Here is the preview video of this almost working PS1 emulator for the Wii. A release date has yet to be declared but from this video we can expect to see something available soon.

OHya an ISO loader is in the works and will be released soon

there is the wiispeak but that is nothing compared to the ps3's speaker thingy

there the SNES9x GX you might like this because like you said you were a big fan of the previous nintendo consoles heres some info on it not typed by me:
SNES9x GX is a Super Nintendo emulator for the Wii based on the PC emulator

uhh wii key 2 here is what it does

True, true but the Rrod has been sorted out, the new batch of 360 consoles have better cooling sytems so the Rrod isnt a problem any more, plus you get a 4 year warranty just to make sure....

I wont argue saying that the 360 is better or not, both equally brill consoles (PS3) in terms of content and graphics to the exculisive on consoles.....

Xbox live, sure u have to pay but that is to upgrade the live system. 360 has poorer graphics engine, but up to date, the 360 has more better graphic games out there.

Xbox live and PSN are both equally stuffed with online gizmos.

As goes 4 the console exculsives, IMO Gears 2 is gonna be the best game out there.
And recently PS3 exculsives have been going onto the 360.....Tekken, SO4, FF13,

Its just a matter of opinion which console is better,I had a PS3 for a while and didnt really like it, so a year l8r, 1 month ago I bought a 360 and 1 of the reasons bought one was because all my mates owned one an I was the last one to buy one...

[AA7]

Thanks for the post Oplinoer. As IC3nNy said, it really depends which one all your friends own. All my friends own the PS3 and I'm the last one too get one. If all your friends own the 360 get it, screw my opinions.

[sk8radam1993]

Yeah, I felt the exact same way after buying my 360. Well, actually even before buying my 360 I felt that way. I don't really even touch my Wii anymore, can't even tell you where it is right now. It's just 360 for me.

[oplinoer]

np and you guys are lucky is easy for all you for me its like this

most my friends in my class(pretty much all my friends some girl ones too) own a wii and games with wi-fi such as brawl MOH:2 and plan on getting wiispeak

then theres the next 2 classes having mostly PS3 id say 10-15 xbox360 owners in my grade then theres the 30-35 wii owners in my grade finally having about 28-30 ps3 owners


ohya and forgot to mention there is word of people already planning a hack of the wiispeak when its released but right now its been said there only concentrated on the hack for games such as mario kart/brawl/MOH:2/ an unknown game that i think is'nt released yet also the hack is suppose to be giving you the ability to tlk/send images/recordings of what your doing in the game your playing this feature sounds really good for brawl and some special unique one for NBA09 i think it was

along with that there is also deh hack for T.V channels but because of the problem there having it might be quited problem is space to fit all the channels
