Gaming Systems Poll
 

Hi all!

After seeing the Wii thread a minute ago it has prompted me to ask you guys about these gaming system thingies.

I personally think Pacman, Hungry Horace and space invaders rule OK but I know I have to get with it a little, having a teen in the house. She has requested a XBOX or a Wii or whatever else would play RockBand or whatever it is for Christmas - her preference is a Wii.

Hubby reckons it will be a waste of money and just gather dust, however I think it may encourage her to have her friends hang out at our house sometimes rather than always going to their houses.

So what system should we go for? I don't think she will ever be a serious gamer and I am leaning towards the Wii as it seems to be a cheaper option.

I want a Wii for Christmas - now if only OH would get the hint.

Re: Gaming Systems Poll
 

I want a Wii as well, especially that Wii fit it looks like fun.

We have a PS2 - can't remember the last time we used it :unsure:

Would love a Wii - friends have a Wii & it's a lot of fun what ever your age - caters for everyone :thumbup:

Must say though, i'm very fond of my DS Lite - especially like '42 All-Time Classics' - card games, board games & loads more :)

Nikki has always sworn she didn't want a Wii, couldn't see the point, hated the thought of having to move to play a game etc (lazy? her? :rofl: )
She tried Wii bowling in a Sears for about 2 minutes and loved it so we'll probably be getting one at some point. Once I've got a PS3 (just for the BlueRay player you understand).

I voted "none". It was the closest I could get to what I really think.

What he said ^^^.

We have a Wii but that is more for the kids, and they use it a lot

Personally I would rather use my computer to play games on

Thanks for your input, much appreciated.

Steve and Souv - I'm with you on that BUT I have a 13 year old who's world ends at least 4 times a day and she wants a gaming system or piercings/tattoos for crimbo - so you can see where our minds are heading on this one:eek:

Re: Gaming Systems Poll
 

Voted for all of them, since I had them all before I moved here

Re: Gaming Systems Poll
 

we've got both a 360 and a ps3. The ps3 was mostly for the blue ray player ( so I'm told ;) )

Re: Gaming Systems Poll
 

Why would you need/want more than one? I know several people that have multiple systems and I don't get it - hence the poll.:confused:

Re: Gaming Systems Poll
 

That's the excuse I was going to use to the wife for getting a PS3 - did it work? :thumbsup:

Re: Gaming Systems Poll
 

Because they all have their own strengths and not all games get released on all three systems?

Re: Gaming Systems Poll
 

We have a Wii and have just got a Wii fit and it is brilliant. We all use it (mum, dad, 10 year old girl and 5 year old boy). Favourites are/were the Wii sports and Arcade Games but since we've had the Wii fit those games haven't been used by the kids.

Can thoroughly recommend it. :thumbsup:
