After months of waiting and trying to buy it I finally got the Wii.  While I was at work my dad waited in line early in the morning and got the last voucher to by the Wii.  Its a lot of fun.  Right now I'm playing Zelda and Wii Sports.  Lots of fun

Right now I'm mostly playing Final Fantasy XII.  I'm saving up to by the Nintendo Wii and then Xbox 360.  Then I may buy a better gaming computer to play all the high end video games coming out in the next 12-20 months.  I'm getting the Wii and xbox for different reasons.  I ruled out the PS3 for now since there aren't any appealing games right now or even in the works.  I would love to see more RTS and computer style games on console systems, and I would prefer to have a system that is standard where I do not have to worry about upgrades, system comflicts, patches, and figuring out all the system specs for each and every game I play.  Anyways... ...I'm looking forward to Halo Wars and that new command and conquer game (both RTS games on the xbox360).  I am also looking forward to spore, but it looks as though I will have to save up for a better system.  Damn I am sick of saving for computer systems.  It seems like as soon as I buy a system it goes out of date in six months!

I am going to buy a new computer within the next month or so, and I’m looking into my options.  I don’t know how to custom build computers myself so that isn’t an option, and I don’t want some piece of crap basic model that the typical computer stores sell.  They also don’t come with a very good video card 9 times out of 10.  I want to order one online so I can get the specs I need and well…can afford.  Right now I’m leaning towards Velocity Micro.

They seem to have at least one system on there that’s worthwhile and at around a thousand bucks give or take a few hundred.  I also browsed, Dell, Gateway, and Alienware.  Gateway and Alienware are too expensive, and Dell offers inferior video cards when compared to velocity micro.  You at least get a Geforce 7600 with a Velocity Micro PC.  With the other online companies you’re lucky to get a 6000 series.  The Dell ‘gaming’ computer or the XPS system comes with a Pentium, and Pentiums aren’t as good as Athlons for video game performance.  All around I think Velocity Micro is my best bet.  I’m going with the entry level gaming system because I can’t see myself spending more then 1500 bucks for my system.  I may upgrade the video card at a latter date.
