GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con

First off, Mario has won the character tournament - and had won by quite a large margin, which was rather unexpected.

Secondly, my computer time is being choked once again. My dad even has a stop watch to record the time accurately. >_> Fun fun fun! That's mainly why I'm not as active (though I do my best), but I can still get to all of your entries easy enough.

And finally, as the title proclaims, I have made my decision on whether to buy a 360 or Wii.
One thing, though: in order to get either console, I need a job. But I've decided I won't get a job until the summer is over, primarily because this will probably be the last "free" summer I'll be able to enjoy before I start other stuff, like Drivers Ed and, ultimately, applying for a job, which I'll be needing sooner or later, console or no console.
Speaking of which, I'm going to get a 360. But that's my current decision; it could change, but it's doubtful. For example, if no one is playing the 360 by the time December rolls around, I may be looking into the Wii instead (poor PS3...)

However! I don't think that people will just stop playing it for whatever reason, but it's still a possibility. What consolidated my decision to get a 360 was the announcement of Gamer's Night on Wednesdays. Hopefully they'll reach to the end of the year, and it's not just a temporary feature. One can hope.

Cool, congrats.

Congrats on what?
Posted Apr 4, 2007 2:34 pm PT
I plan on getting the Wii first.

Thank God Mario won that competition. If it were anyone else, I don't think us voters could be called gamers at all... Oh, and good decision.

Wii60 FTW!!!! Jobs can be fun.
Posted Apr 4, 2007 3:13 pm PT
Yes, when you get the Xbox 360 be sure to hit me up on some online games. Wii can wait.

Do what you wish

Excellent decision with the 360 man. See you on Live!

Only a fool never changes his mind.

... I think NeoJedi said this, some time ago.

You've made a good decision. (Nothing against the Wii or PS3) But the 360 is where it's at right now. Hit me up with a friends request when you get one.
Posted Apr 4, 2007 4:35 pm PT
Yeah, good choice. People not playing 360 in December? Dude, what you been smokin'? I'll still be trying to 5 star everything in Guitar Hero, then there's Forza, Fable, Halo, Bioshock, and god knows what else to tide people over. Think before you speak. Good choice, anywho.
Posted Apr 4, 2007 4:48 pm PT
You made the right decision
Posted Apr 4, 2007 4:53 pm PT
LOL Lemme word that comment differently... All of the games that are popular at the present won't be played as much. Like Lost Planet and Crackdown... and maybe even Gears. Halo 3 is one thing to look foward to, but I'm more or less looking forward to games that are already out.

well i have a 360 and it is fun especially gears of war and i will eventually be getting a wii but if i had to choose just one it would be the wii mainly because of all the good games for it coming out this year but its up to you what you want to get.
Posted Apr 4, 2007 6:00 pm PT
I am not sure about buying a Wii now, but when SSBB is out, its mine.
Posted Apr 4, 2007 7:58 pm PT
I saw your comment on Kevin's blog.I knew what to expect.Clever decision.
Posted Apr 4, 2007 8:19 pm PT
Xbox all the way. I love playing with my boyfriends, "X BOX". The video game that is. HE HE. Peace.

Most people are just saying 360 because it's what they have. Few people have played LOZ:TP, Red Steel, and the other great games, beat them, and thought about the game. I've played both consoles, and think the Wii is by far better. Don't get me wrong, 360 is great, much better than PS3, but lacks the same fun. The Wii has the best of everything. You should rent both systems, and see which is more fun.
Posted Apr 4, 2007 9:45 pm PT
Good choice.

You all just wait! In a week he will be saying "I changed my mind, I'm getting a wii"
Posted Apr 4, 2007 10:20 pm PT
You didn't expect Mario to win? *Looks incredulous*
Posted Apr 5, 2007 12:39 am PT
wii doesn't have that much good games at the moment but they have alot coming up. So you might have to rethink your choice
Posted Apr 5, 2007 5:17 am PT
That is a very smart choice!
Posted Apr 5, 2007 7:12 am PT
I want a 360 mostly because of Live. I mean, the 360 is all people talk about around here. I want to try it out for myself.
Posted Apr 5, 2007 8:28 am PT
I think you'll enjoy the 360. I've been 100% satisfied since I bought mine at launch.
Posted Apr 5, 2007 9:36 am PT
Mario wins at everything, man. I can't believe you were surprised.
Posted Apr 5, 2007 11:40 am PT
Mario wasn't doing nearly as hot as some of the characters, like Snake and Link, and even Master Chief at one point.
Posted Apr 5, 2007 12:46 pm PT
Now THAT surprises me. Anyway, I hope you enjoy your 360. I'm the other way round, I got a Wii althought in time I'll be getting a 360.

Not unexpected at all, Master Chief has done very little for gaming. He hasn't revolutionised anything whatsoever while Mario has defined the platform genre again and again.
Posted Apr 7, 2007 4:37 pm PT
Well let's just say that I didnt' expect him to win by that wide of a margin.
Posted Apr 7, 2007 5:07 pm PT
I did... >_>
Posted Apr 9, 2007 3:23 pm PT
Yeah, but... Master Chief beat Link. I figured he'd put up more of a fight.
