Will I miss out?

I was saving for a Wii, but then seeing how hard my parents had to work to save to keep me in college...I decided to stop saving and maybe just buy PS2 games for a PS2 someone gave me. But i feel like I am missing out on this gen, should I continue saving or just wait till next gen when I'll probably start working to get into gaming?

That is really up to you. I can tell you what I would do. Save up a bit more money, buy a Wii, and for now only get a couple of games. It's actually quite worth it. The games are good.

Get xbox 360 ps3 or PC

yeah since he hcan't even afford a wii yet he is going to save a 1k for a pc. SIgh

I'm not really sure i understand whats going on. You are saving for a wii, but your parents are paying for your college, and you feel guilty. So instead of a wii you are going to buy ps2 games. How does ps2 games make you feel less guilty?

overall the xbox and PS3 havea lot more hardcore games. but that doesn't mean the Wii is a bad system for our age group. (i say "our"because i'm also in college.) There's plenty of good games out and many more coming. For starters theres MH Tri, Red Steel, RE 4, and Super Smash Bros. all of which are quality games. the metroid series is also worth looking into.

The graphics may not be as good, but the online is free, there's quite a few, affordable downloadable games too. the Wii is a worthwhile system, though if you're looking for street cred, it might not be a good choice. It's not popular amongst hardcore gamers, but I, for onelike nintendo just as much as sony.

Well...I guess I'll continue saving. Thank you.

Don't get Wii its not worth the money, you will be better off playing PS2(same graphics), and if you really want to play Wii games get Dolphin.

Wii is not the next gen console, so you will miss out if you get it. Get PS3 or xBox360 the real consoles, but since you are on a budget get a good PC.

There are more games on Wii that I want than there are on PS3/360, so it's worth it for me. i never cared much for graphics. Plus where I live, Wii cost 4 times more what it cost in America, so imagine the price of a PS3 and 360. My sucky PC can't handle dolphin.
