...but I can totally watch pirated movies and play pirated games. The wii is easy to hack.

I chose Wii as well.  And while its lineup over the past three and a half years hasn't had a lot of impressive things to choose from, I've enjoyed the games I have accumulated for it, and I've yet to see anything from its competitors that I've remotely cared about.

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

THIEF!

Uh, can't any ol' DVD player play "pirated movies?" Or if you are talking about crappy avi files off the internet, the 360 and the PS3 can both do that rather nicely as well... as for stealing games... wow... I am slightly ashamed of you now... ;)

But seriously, I'd rather buy my games and... uh... wait a minute!!! The Wii doesn't even have any games on it worth pirating, let alone buying! No wonder it is so easy to hack!

Hmm, I think my post got in the way of your post.  Funny how these things work.  But simultaneously, your post overshadowed my post.  Don't make me sic Garth Allen on you.  We all know how you last the battle of '72.

EDIT:  Damnit!  And now you edited your post.  That's all I need to say.  Time to remind you of '72.

EDIT: Oh man, you edited your post to remind me of it even more. Jerk!

The wii doesn't have a library, that's why I resort to pirating - a preview of sorts, since most of my local rental places are no more. Please don't ban me Jay!

Dude, suddenly I really miss Garth Allen. I am feeling this very deep nostalgia for a forum member who never existed, and for discussions with him that never took place in a time before I was even born. This is a real downer. I think I need to go to bed now too...

I started to play Animal Crossing on the Gamecube when I was snowed in over Christmas but then I got snowed down with work.

Now I'm too ashamed to switch it on even if I have the time.

All the residents of my village would have moved away or stopped talking to me because I haven't been around to pick up some piece of tat they lent to someone who lent it to someone else who moved to another village.

The place will be covered in weeds.

There would be rotten fruit everywhere attracting ants.

It's got to be like Sylvanian Families meets Children Of Men in there.

Oh the horror.

My wife tried to cheat Animal Crossing on the DS.  I forget how, trying to move time forward or something.  Everyone got mad at her for trying to cheat.

The solution: get both. I have a Wii and a 360 and they're both fun. Honestly I play the 360 way more though. I was always Nintendo exclusive until this generation but the deficiency in online multiplayer on the Wii convinced me to get a 360 and I'm glad I did.

The only reason I want a Wii is Virtual Console.  Waggle controls can die for all I care.

Hello, I'm a waggle controller.  I'm not too fond of you either.

not a huge fan of motion control, but I like the pointer control in fps's. Too bad there are no good ones on Wii.

I've added L4D2 to my pile of shame.  :(  I mean, I will when it gets here in 4-7 business days.

(It's still on sale at gamefly for $20 + free shipping (360) if anyone else wants to get in on the OT.com Zombie Slaying League.)

So... I thought we invited Mr. & Mrs. 005 so that it would feel like less of a mandate between us, C3PX.  Then 005 has to come right out and call us a "couple" while we're shooting zombies in the face!

You know what they say, the couple that shoots zombies in the face together, stays together.

So when's the big day?

No you don't, we talked about you an awful lot.
