I picked up the Wavebird so that i could play GC games and VC games but I think that I will pick up the Classic controller as well, just for old school SNES feel.

I don't see why the Wii wouldn't get Lego Indiana Jones, as it is getting Lego Star Wars Saga (i think that's what it is called, the compilation of Lego SW 1 and 2). Lego Indiana Jones will be a blast, my son and I rock out on Lego Star Wars 1 and 2 all of the time.

i wouldn't worry about buying a used 360, especialy b/c of the new extended warranty. you could even buy a red ringed 360 off of ebay for cheap then send it in for repairs. i picked up my 360 used off of ebay, it was a launch system and it red ringed about 6 months after I bought it. it was still under the launch system warranty, this was before the extended warranty, and I was able to send it in for free. Not only that, I was able to buy a warranty through M$ which I guess now doesn't really matter thanks to the extended warranty.

that's crazy. I live in ontario and we had problems, at least in my city, getting a wii up until two months ago. now you can find them everywhere, except ironically at EB. Walmart always has half a dozen, so does the Great Canadian Superstore (a boxstore-like grocery store that sells everything, including wiis), zellers, etc. They still are selling great, it is the Ps3 that sits on the shelves for weeks at a time, at least they used to, not sure now.

WTH? Are tv's racist because they discriminate against blacks? (sorry had to, so many dumb racist threads about RE5 and Tom McClancy)

I just picked up a rear-projection, which I recommend because it fit in my budget and was a sony. As for plasma's there is still chance of burn in, especially depending upon the brand, if you want to game on a plasma then get one with the "white channel" option, like the 42" Samsung. If you want to avoid burn in altogether than get an LCD or rear-projection. Problem with the rear-projection is that you have to replace the lamp every 3-4 years, so that's another $200 expenditure.

do a ton of research on the forums, under the general hardware forum and online in general. pick a couple of tvs that interest and google the crap out of them. Amazon.com and Cnet are good for reviews, especially the ones that give a tv 1 out of 5 stars b/c the postal service took too long to ship. idiots.

in before the lock. though i disagree with the TC. I have both the Wii and the 360 and it is the wii that sucks, the 360 has a disc tray which inserts the disc while the wii actually sucks discs into it. therefore by that reasoning the Wii sucks.

sell your red ringed 360 on ebay and buy another red ringed 360 on ebay but make sure that one wasn't opened, then send that one into M$ to get repaired. Not everyone has heard about the extended RROD warranty.

I totally disagree with you guys. I think what makes the 360 hot is the tight game lineup and the solid online multiplayer. As well, I think the game lineup over the next year or at least season is what makes the 360 so hot.

although hot in a different way from what you guys went with but the TC didn't clarify. :)

While I would prefer to pick up first party cables, they are 54 CAN at my local EB. What is the deal with the dozens of different kinds of cables on ebay which range from 2.99 to 29.99? Is third party that terrible?

sounds good, 480p it is. My tv has up to 1080i and so i will take advantage of the tv and get the new cables.

It amazes me to see that basically every single thread, no matter how simple or non-controversial, can be reduced to a p|ssing match.
