~~Attention all Video Gamers~~

[Sheila]

Mr. Ibd and I are thinking of purchasing a gaming system for the family as well as little IBD for Christmas. Wow there are ALOT of choices. I have no idea what to get since the last system I had was an original Atari - seriously. :shock:
I want something that has plenty to choose from for all ages AND will not be obsolete in 5 years.

Dargs? Beachmom? I know yall have these at your house, whaddayathink???

Pros? Cons? I would love to hear some SoWal expert advice.....

Wii!!!!! Wi ours! We gave my in-laws one as an early Christmas gift. Now when we call, they are too busy playing Wii to talk to us! :funn: So it's kind of like a double gift. Bless their little hearts.

for all the other Wii owners and potential Wii owners ..make sure you check out the wiihave a problem site for examples of just HOW MUCH fun you can have.. We have only lost the cover to a surround sound speaker and have a fist sized hole in one wall... so I think we have done pretty good! LOL

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Besides, if that fancy pants Madden thing is so great, why can't you throw a pass the entire length of the field while steering the ball?

Hubba says cuz it all depends on the real life stats of the players you have on your team. SIL 's his xbox 360. There was a glitch when it first came out last year or so, but Best Buys exchanged it. He recommends the upgraded 120 gb not the 60 gb. He just likes the graphics better.

I hope nobody has to pay grossly inflated Ebay prices for a game system. Nothing is worth getting ripped off like that. Ebay is for finding bargains, not paying 100% more than an item's purchase price.

What is wrong with your Atari?

I got a Wii this morning at Best Buy in Destin. I just walked in and there were 4 sitting on the shelf. By the time I left the store, they were gone. Apparently, they got a shipment of 30 last night--and by 10:45 a.m., they were gone.

Have you played the game "Rock Band?"

I played it at Best Buy. But they said it was not coming out on the Wii

Wii. So you can make Miis.

just what I need lots of Jdargs running around my house, no, wait, that would be a good thing. My house would be clean....

But be warned...after a night of Wii bowling you will be sore.. its not like sitting on the couch playing a video game.. LOL

exercise and funn at the same time? now that is genius....

IBD...I asked my French friend which one and he said..Wii Wii!

:roll:

The closest one to us is in the Walmart plaza in Destin. Lots of nice young pierced guys that work there that are very knowledgeable about game systems and games. Near the AT&T cell phone place. There's probably on in PC too. There are 2 in FWB.

thanks just called the destin one, they told me that they get 3 every 2 weeks and they are gone in seconds :shock:

I looked on ebay last night. the prices are unbelievable! I just would not feel right about paying $250 for something and then inflating the price up so much, ah the "joy" of ebay..:angry:

you know if I still had it and it worked I would gladly play frogger again...
