| I want one..
I have still yet to get one, I tell myself I should, but can never seem to get around to it (or find one for that matter I guess). They look like a fun toy with a lot of great functionality. I was in line at Wal-Mart the other day waiting to check out and they came over the loud speaker saying they just got 4 in stock, first 4 to the electronics department could get there hands on it. I was so close to doing it, but once you cross the video game playing line, its tough to come back.  |

I doubt the wii can CHANGE the Internet and how we used. I can see it as an added value like the MCE and the MCE Plugins. Though Wii might be more effective for now. |

'Parental Controls'
cut off the downloads, then they can't even get the browser, the end.
Why are people freaking out about this? |

By 2011 the Wii will be a thing of the past, along with the 360 and PS3 and there will be other consoles. PC wins as usual. |

Re: It will just add
True...
How many times over the years have we heard things like:
"It will change the way you use the internet."
or
"The internet will never be the same."
Seems like everyone wants to create their own news, and what better way to do it than to say how your device is going to revolutionize the industry or the internet. I seem to recall the same marketing style with the 3D0... 'nuf said. |

Re: excuse me....
The PS3 will probably get at most an aesthetic makeover and a slight power push for the PS4 when MS releases the next xbox.
Computer advances aren't exactly causing obsolesence like it used to. Hell, few people see a need to change to Vista or 64bit processing. |

I love vista but I seem to be one of the lucky ones with zero issues. I agree though, PCs will always have the upper hand in gaming. Consoles are good for what they do but a good PC will thrash a console any day. When I see a console thats able to run Supreme Commander then I may start to think differently but probably not. |

thats never been a reason NOT to get a system. Don't install ish, no compatability issues, everyones using the same rig.
Your PC is very different then mine. But your Playstation or w.e. the hell is the same as my Playstation or w.e. the hell... |

Mount Juliet, TN | So, can you get porn?
I havent even bothered to connect my Wii to my router. If I can get porn on it tho, I think I will. My laptop screen is too small to get the good smutty views a large screen would provide. |

| Why always a "paradigm shift"?
Because of writers. Writers, by and large, ordain something a paradigm shift. If they do so and it sticks, they become a "Tech Visionary" and get to be "Very Important Voices".
I used to see this same kind of stuff in the music business, with rock writers: They would write articles of great analysis, ascribing the mantles of Byron, Shelly and Keats to bands that were the biggest piles of kak on the planet?
Why?
Because if, by luck of the draw, that band became huge, the would be called a visionary.

Re: I want one..
I've only seen one once and that was at Toys R' Us. At the time, buying it would have been met with my wife putting my jewels in a jar with formaldehyde. As much as it hurt to pass it up, I passed. I have never seen one for sale except that. |
