Mod edit-This thread is the new "gamer thread" as the title implies. If it doesn't fit in the 360 gamer tag or the Wii threads, it fits here. Thanks everyone.

Please don't start threads with opinions stated as facts all it is going to do is start an argument, and that’s pointless. If we are going to have open and intelligent conversations about games, and systems this thread has its place but, starting it off like that is asinine, and will not be tolerated.

My family decided to get Kinect for the 360, instead of getting a Wii for Christmas. Sure, Nintendo games are fun and all, but the price point really hurts. It's $200 for the Wii console, and since we need at least three controllers to play, that would be $40 per wiimote and $20 per nunchuck. That's another $120 just in controllers (the Wii console only comes with one). So for $320, we get a Wii, Wii Sports, and New Super Mario Bros. For $150, we can get Kinect, we already have a 360, and it comes with Kinect Adventures. For another $50, we're going to get Kinect Sports as well. The best thing about Kinect is that you don't need to go out and buy all these controllers.

What do you guys think about Kinect vs. Wii?

fixed for you mike. , i had a wii, i only liked smash bros, and mario kart, everything else felt kiddie. from what ive seen kinnect looks sweet. there are some vid of people whos already have hacked it. havent tried it yet.

I have a wii also (gaming whore I know), and it's enjoyable because you don't have to have any understanding of gaming in general to use it. Watching my Grandmother playing wii sports resort was a riot. The kinect is exciting because of the oppertunity for the things that they can produce in the future the current crop of games isn't great but, I'm excited to see where it goes.

for those of you who have ps3's have you made the switch to bluray? or are you like my brother in-law, and say " blu ray will be dead by next year" so he buys his movies via psn

[Mike]

Blu Ray will be dead but, not that soon... A disk in general is going to become irrelevant. Movies follow music...

Beta = 8 Track
Cassette = VHS
CD - DVD/ Blu Ray
Digital Download = ?

[ikethegreat]

I use blurays.  I don't purchase movies but I always rent them in bluray.
