Should i get a Wii?? Honestly...

Well, I've been thinking about getting the Wii for months (i havent gotten it cause costco never has them in stock) but now im starting to think about putting the $340 (cost of the costco bundle) towards getting an even nicer computer for college (im going to college next year.. thats why i need to get a comp anyways)...  sooo... wii + okay computer OR great computer + no wii??

 sorry if i put this on the wrong board

Well, a laptop is better for school anyway, so I wouldn't say you need a great one. Because if you're trying to get a gaming system, you should get a desktop. I'd say go with a cheaper laptop and a Wii. Besides, the Wii is great for social gaming and if you live in residence it'll be some good times.

EDIT: Don't listen to people telling you that you need a good computer. Decent systems don't just collapse for no reason, do if you're smart and understand computers the only reason to have a top-end one is if you're playing games or doing intense video work.

Since it's going to be mostly for word processing, you could get by with a 90s Thinkpad if you had to. I did for the first few months of first year. 

In my opinion, it really depends on your major. If your are doing graphic/audio design, programming, or some computer heavy major, then the computer will be better for you to get. However, if you are only word processing, then a decent computer will do fine if you take good care of it. In general, a computer would do better for you since you will soon be heading to college, and if you do not think you would have enough money for both by the time college rolls around.barinelg

I'll give you a hint;

If your grandmothers listening to the same music as you makes that music uncool, then why should video games be any different? ;)

Do not get a Wii. Its just a 250$ brick.

Get a 360! (online, graphics, been out awhile so it has good games)

Not only was this comment completely irrelevant to the subject matter, the typing was horrible. He is debating on whether to get a wii and a not-so-great laptop, or no wii and a great laptop - not on whether to get the wii, ps3, or xbox360. Read the actual topic before you post.

Get the Wii man.X360PS3AMD05
