also...to myscrnnm...internal power source indicates better technology? wrong again...they move it to be external...probably for heat purposes to keep the system cool...look at the PS3...its the size of a small desktop tower...and all those ventalation spots are needed to keep the system cool..i can predict over heating PS3s on a regualr basis with more than 3 hours of game play..]]>Nov 1st 2006 11:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/01/wii-unboxing-photos-hit-the-internets/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/01/wii-unboxing-photos-hit-the-internets/Nov 1st 2006 10:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/01/wii-unboxing-photos-hit-the-internets/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/01/wii-unboxing-photos-hit-the-internets/Nov 1st 2006 8:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/01/wii-unboxing-photos-hit-the-internets/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/01/wii-unboxing-photos-hit-the-internets/Nov 1st 2006 8:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/01/wii-unboxing-photos-hit-the-internets/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/01/wii-unboxing-photos-hit-the-internets/Nov 1st 2006 8:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/01/wii-unboxing-photos-hit-the-internets/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/01/wii-unboxing-photos-hit-the-internets/Nov 1st 2006 8:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/01/wii-unboxing-photos-hit-the-internets/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/01/wii-unboxing-photos-hit-the-internets/Nov 1st 2006 8:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/01/wii-unboxing-photos-hit-the-internets/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/01/wii-unboxing-photos-hit-the-internets/

I'm a hardcore gamer and I'm gonna get one of these baby for my whole family (yeah they like it too!). In addition I have a lot of friends who would buy this too over the 360 and PS3.

It's very innovative and we're after the interactive gameplay.

The PC is still the best if I'm after graphics and power - beats the 360 and PS3 down! And definitely a lot of better games!

First of all, size is not the only factor in determining the reasonable size for an AC adapter. The Wii is also the weakest of all the seventh-generation video game consoles. This means that it should also have the smallest AC adapter. And despite this, the PlayStation 3 still manages to keep its AC adapter internal, the only one of the three major seventh-generation consoles to do so. This kind of tells you something about which video game console implements the best technology.]]>Nov 1st 2006 9:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/01/wii-unboxing-photos-hit-the-internets/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/01/wii-unboxing-photos-hit-the-internets/
How would that say anything about the console, Nintendo just want the Wii to be more compact, personally I would rather have some bulky box behind my tv stand where I don't have to see it all the time then to have the console be bigger and heavier.

That wasn't what he was pointing out; he was saying the Wii is small, making the adapter look bigger. The length of the brick it self looks to be a bit less then the length of the box, and the guys hand looks to be around that length too.

The brick is about the length of your hand. Oooo, big. >_>]]>Nov 1st 2006 9:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/01/wii-unboxing-photos-hit-the-internets/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/01/wii-unboxing-photos-hit-the-internets/

And this is different to the other consoles how?]]>Nov 1st 2006 9:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/01/wii-unboxing-photos-hit-the-internets/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/01/wii-unboxing-photos-hit-the-internets/
The loners probably don't have other things to spend money on, so sure, they'll buy the PS3.

Fact is, DVD is good enough. We've got years before it dies out completely, if only because we'll get a load of dual-format discs before the HD-DVD vs. BluRay war ends. With that in mind, does the average Joe need more than a $250 console and a $30 DVD player from Wal-Mart, which is probably already in their home?

Not everyone out there is like you. The Wii will fail in the slim market of People Like You. It will be a smashing success in the market of People Like Me. The question is, are there more of You, or more of Me? I personally wouldn't take bets in either direction, and to be frank, given Nintendo's generally conservative-yet-successful strategies, they're not really taking that much of a bet. They'll get the average Joes, the diehard Nintendo fans, and the constantly growing children's market. Even if the PS3 is a remarkable success, Nintendo's prepared to take second place in market share, and still end up as the most profitable console in this generation.

Slower? Sure. Filled with kid-friendly games? Of course. I just don't think it's going to matter to the vast majority of future Wii owners.]]>Nov 1st 2006 11:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/01/wii-unboxing-photos-hit-the-internets/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/01/wii-unboxing-photos-hit-the-internets/They don't know just how nice that is when installing a console in your vehicle.
12V straight in is great and then the brick is gone.

Gonna love to see how the PS3 performs long term with an internal power supply and a system that pulls 380 watts.]]>Nov 1st 2006 9:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/01/wii-unboxing-photos-hit-the-internets/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/01/wii-unboxing-photos-hit-the-internets/

Hardcore gamers are gonna want the PS3 and Xbox but those of us who don't waste money on something thats gonna cost so much and then have to buy all the extra's its kind of ridiculous. When the Wii comes out people are gonna see how different and not the average nerd's gaming system.

I have had lots of Sony and Nintendo game machines. I had mean times on PS1 and 2. BUt i sold my PS2 long long ago.

I sold it because it got boring. Same games over and over.

PS3, whats it got? Um ok lets have a look:
Ridge racer 7, 7 wtf 7!!!!
Tekken 6
Gran Turismo 5
Tony Hawk 8

This is the reason PSP sux, and it is the reason the Wii will do well.

PS3 will do well because there are so many people wanting to play *insert PS1 title* number 7.

Free thinking foward people want something new exciting and different.


Know this.]]>Nov 2nd 2006 2:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/01/wii-unboxing-photos-hit-the-internets/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/01/wii-unboxing-photos-hit-the-internets/Nov 1st 2006 9:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/01/wii-unboxing-photos-hit-the-internets/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/01/wii-unboxing-photos-hit-the-internets/
Then theres those who are all "I'm so 1337" and just bash Nintendo for being a kiddie tender and not making things for the hardcore. So? Maybe if you stop smoking 13yearoldboywholikesgoreandbulliesotherkidswhowillownmyassbecausetheywillbemillionairs
then you will see for a short while that the Ds is doing "slightly" better then the PSP.

But thats just ones opinion : )]]>Nov 7th 2006 10:03PM
