I just traded my 80gig PS3 with ons of games for a Wii with SMG and Brawl, and I can gladly say I think I got the better end of the deal. See, I used to have a Wii, and eventually it got stolen. I used to play an FPS either Medal of Honor or Call of Duty something. It was online and I recall a sewer level and team killing alwayson, it was the funnest game I played. Does anybody know what game I'm talking about and does anyone still play it online?

Medal of Honor Heroes 2. It's alright.. the sewer level is the most fun to play online. I still play often, but it's not that great of a game.

I would have kept the PS3 and bought a Wii. I doubt your story is true.

You love FPS games and you want a Wii more than a PS3? Well have fun anyway. Look for the Metroid Trilogy box set coming soon.

I've got both MoH Heroes 2, and CoD World at War and the one you are thinking of is MoH. I liked MoH until CoD came out so before you buy it maybe rent Call of Duty and give it a try. There is a ton of people playing CoD online, as for online with MoH I'm not sure because I have not been online for about 6-8 months. Also if FPS are you style give the conduit a shot ;)

I did not know people like this existed! I'm glad you're enjoying your Wii! Shame about the 1st one being stolen though. Oh and I'm not sure selling your PS3 was a good choice... You probably should've kept it and saved up money for the Wii instead. Well anyways, you can enjoy the great amount of 3rd party games that have been released since your 1st Wii was stolen.

didn't sony once say something like "consumers will work harder and longer to afford a PS3?"

anyway, bad move dude. never sell a console for another one, unless absolutely nessecary. You could've saved for a month or two and gotten a Wii and kept both

I can't say i could go this whole gen with one console (well i can go it with one handheld)

its best to experience everything, and rebuying a Wii is easier than rebuying a PS3 ($250 to $400)

but maybe you can pick up a X360 for $200 when you start missing those non-Wii games, so that they compliment each other

Well I would've tried getting a Wii without selling the PS3, but if it made you happy that's all that matter. If you're looking for a new game, Little King's Story comes out next week. Definitly look into it if you like the genre.

It was probably Medal of Honor: Heroes 2.

Also, nice to hear that you are enjoying the Wii.

Not a very good move, IMO. A wii is good, but it would be better to have the PS3 and Wii. But whatever, to each his own

Honestly that was a good move, a lot of the ps3's games are so generic and the same its like you're buying the same games over and over again, buts in not as bad as the 360. The wii has lots of variety though.

Well I got the Wii with 4 wiimotes and 4 nunchucks, 10 games (not shovelware) 2 classic controllers, mario kart steering wheel, and preloaded with a bunch of games installed on it. I can honestly say I have only owned this Wii for one day and have played it more than I have ever played my PS3. Not counting loading times on PS3 though. The only time my PS3 was on was for blu-ray, and trying to figure out the controls for KZ2, or laughing at no anti-aliasing. I have have an xbox already and have all the good multiplats, so I don't need a PS3. Wii + Xbox 360 FTW:D

FPS with sewer level? could be any game --' BTW, you shouldn't have traded your PS3. the PS3 and the Wii are really different platforms. how are you gonna play MGS4, FFXIII, MG rising, etc? unless you had no choice (or you'll end up getting your PS3 back).

TC already said they have a 360 with most of the good multiplats. IMO you have a larger game selection with the Wii60 combo rather than the 360/PS3 combo.

best combo would be PS3 + wii (my case :P). that way you can enjoy MGS4 (and some other exclusives), all the awesome games for 360/PS3 (with the exception of very few exclusives, the 360 library is the same as the PS3's) and the wii games. he should've traded the 360 instead :P

thats debateable, I prefer my PS3 over my 360, but really your getting off topic.

You made a foolish mistake. I am not going to start system wars and say which system has whatever games, but you had a system which people whine and cry because it is too "expensive." It has good games for it. The Wii is the cheapest set out there. It's 250, you could have easily saved up for a new Wii. You could have had the triple combo. Having all the systems is great, you don't miss out on jack. Is it excessive, sure. You made a bad choice and got ripped off because you don't even get half back on trading in systems. You should have kept the PS3 and bought the other system.

People need to stop bad mouthing the black box. The PS3 has more than multiplats

How does thePS3feel like you are buying the same games over again.

Ratchet, Uncharted, Hot Shots Golf, Disgaea 3, Valkyria Chronicles, Ridge Racer 7, Motorstorm, and Folklore all felt pretty different to me,

because it simply is wrong. PS3 is not an upgraded wii. They are different consoles with different capabilities.If ps3 could do all the wii does, and better you would make sense,sadly,you sounded like the typical technical fanboy.

Why nt? It's just a gaming console, why wouldn't people want it? I think it's a bad move considering he traded one of the most expensive and highest selling consoles for a less expensive one, hell I would trade my wii in for a PS3 but I'm waiting for some games

Owning a PS3 seems almost pointless when you already own an XBox 360 especially since FFXIII is multi-plat for your sake, I'd say you made a good move. Wii360 is the best way to go.

except for calling the PS3 "highest selling console" (activision is even considering dropping GH out of it) and wanting to trade the PS3 for a wii (unless you have money to buy ANOTHER wii :P), i agree with you.

once again bad move. People saying it is a good move obviously haven't played on the system or they don't know what is out for it. The PS3 is not the exact same as 360. Since you did it anyway, whatever.

i doubt this story is true but if it is..... lol

quizee
your the one laughing out loud but i havent even been on these forums because ive been having more fun playing Mario kart wii online than i ever did with my PS3. its not downgrading, its upgrading. I dont care about graphics, nothing comes close to the fun factor of the wii. not the best online community doesnt matter I have friends in real life to play with me.
