I finally decided I'm getting a 360, but I also planed to get a Wii!

I'm only getting 360 for Halo and Wii for all that goodness from Red Steel to Smash Brawl.

360 is $400 + Halo 2 being $30 bucks(or Triple Pack with 1 2 and Map Pack which is $60 which I might not get because I already got Halo 1 PC and I can get the 9 maps for free with an X Box Live Gold Membership) and the price of Halo 3 later next year and other games that might catch my eye. and the extra X-Box live Gold Membership subscriptions to rape people after the free 1 month(which is like....1  month for $8, 3 for $20 and 12 for $50)

Wii is $200 + all the games which I'm estimating like $40-$50 .

SO I'm going to spend $430-$450 dollars plus the wii expenses which is $200 plus games(and I'm getting Brawl, MP3:C, Red Steel, TP, and Mario Galaxy) which I suspect 40-50 bucks so another 250.

THATS LIKE OVER 900 DOLLARS! OMG!

What should I do?

GEN out.

I already know I'm getting the Wii but which should I get first? Smash is far away from now which will be the game I'll play most on Wii and the Only Luanch titles that interest me are Red Steel, MP3:C and Mario Galaxy. Rest of the games right now are kinda Meh-ish. My goal really is to play Smash and still have my games fresh so I'm not just stuck with 1 game and the rest already been played which makes me want to wait till Smash comes out in 07 or so before I buy a Wii.

Halo will also be my equally played game as Brawl as they will be the games where I am extremly competative. Current titles right now and a few upcoming like Gears of war aren't that great cept Perfect Dark Zero. And since I'm really into kickin ass online Halo 2 can help me cope until Wii comes out.

So right now My tastes can't be satisfied on either systems both which will cost me a lot of money which I don't have..... Which is why I don't know wether to stick with the 360 till Smash comes out to buy Wii or Vise Versa and Get Wii first and when Halo 3 comes out I get a 360.

I'm guessing that Microsoft will introduce a bundle over the holiday season. I would get the Wii at launch, and see if you can get a Premium 360 with a game for $400.

yeah, if they do a price cut on the 360, say like 50 bucks at least, It'll make my life easier and be able to get the Halo 2 with it.

And I never get Consoles at luanch, but get them in that Christmas. It was the same with the DS, GC, N64 and SNES. After 1 month of thier Luanch, I get them in Christmas which was cool. Not a dime outa my pocket.

And If I earn good grades like Always at school, I might score the X-Box 360 for christmas and get the Wii for my Birthday, which is after christmas on January 16.

So this will will be the year I break the Console pattern and get a non-Big N system on Christamas, but get the Wii on my B-Day and have ways to Kick ass online. Hopefully by then I can get the Money I need to but games for 360 and Wii like PDZ for 360 and Red Steel - Smash Brawl for Wii(since I'll only get 1 game with a new Console, I'll get Red Steel with Wii on me B-Day and then any extra Money I get I buy the other games later).

Microsoft has announced that there won't be a price drop...but a bundle wouldn't surprise me. And of course you can always hope for the Wii to be cheaper then expected. BTW Get Gears of War. It looks awesome and it has 8 player multiplayer.

I'll consider GoW because it looks sorta gay And yeah, even if MS would cut the price a Bundle would help alot.

And if Wii ends up being cheeper, HURRAY!

I WILL NEVER RECOMMEND THE 360! I say wait until Halo 3 to get it.... I have had a lot of problems with my 360, and it doesnt even have decent games out for it. Get Wii, then save up and get the 360. Besides, SSBB and SMG wont be out until probably mid next year
