For the record, this thing kicks ass.

And I hate video games.

So... maybe we should all exchange Wii info so we can you all can be in the audience whilst I bowl? Laughing

We love ours, I highly recommend GameFly. Netflix for console games.

We still can't figure out to get our Miis to go on parade and mingle.

I'm online with mine but have no idea what our info is.

chavez · RIP MHL 04/25/1958 - 01/11/2006

Rhawn, we have a GamezNflix account so I will be getting games here and there.

We are pretty stoked with Wii Sports and WiiPlay right now.

Do a search rookie!

Oh and Tiger Woods is insane. I have a bunch of games if you want to borrow them.

Is online play available yet?

You can save your Miis to your Wiimote and load them on other people's Wiis.

chavez · RIP MHL 04/25/1958 - 01/11/2006

J-Ro, search for what? I didn't need your old ass info! But I will borrow your shiz! Laughing

Wakebrad, that, and you can use the WiiConnect to let your Miis migrate to your other Wiis that you allow them to.

And no, online play isn't available yet that I know of.

I have WiiConnect setup and my Miis set to mingle but I haven't had any feedback. No new Miis on mine..

chavez · RIP MHL 04/25/1958 - 01/11/2006

Wakebrad, you have to get the ## of your friend's Wiis. It will only allow mingling with those machines.

Dragonlady8, doesn't sound like it unfortunately.

Although after reading what the premise is, it sounds like it could be fun. I was never sure what was involved. Trauma Center is supposed to be pretty good though.

Wii is fun, but PS3 is better.

Just played Mario Party for the Wii last night. Man that's a fun game. The new controls make it a lot more fun than on the older systems. Of course it didn't hurt that I won like all of the mini-games Mr. Green

I've seen a lot of articles about the Wii and Nintendo but this is the best so far....

PS2 is still outselling PS3, Wii is second to the 360, but only because of the limited availability.

kdip · Posted: May 31, 2007 9:02 am Post subject:

Rhawn, PS3 is so damn expensive. They moved up 50 bucks since they came out. I liked resistance and F1. Some of the Wii games are fun, but I still like PS3 better.

Tyler T, Sony owns so much of the media we use everyday, it's scary.

They are going to lose the BlueRay/HDDVD battle too. Betamax, part deux.

Anyone else notice that HDDVD player is now down to $299? Best price for a Blueray player outside of PS3 = 799 after some rebates. Ghey.

BurkeViper · Posted: May 31, 2007 4:51 pm Post subject:

Rhawn, is that in the U.S.?

Because I remember hearing that even the DS was outselling the Xbox 360 in Japan. Laughing

Tyler T, Sony is also losing out on hot game titles that used to be Playstation only (i.e. Guitar Hero, Final Fantasy, etc.), so I don't see a good future for Sony.

A HS friend of mine works for Sony - playstation department in san diego. He was giving me all the pros to owning a PS3 other than gaming. But that's what I have my laptop for.
Anyhow, he's finally sending me all the PS2 games and extra accessories that are lying around his office.
At least he wasn't negative when I made a comment about wanting a Wii due to it's price difference and the best thing he said to me:
"If you need anything else that's Sony related just let me know. It won't there immediately but I'll get it to you." Mr. Green

Wii still under-supplied.

Prolly going to buy a Wii for my son this Christmas - Pretty cool stuff

for those wondering how to get the Mii's on other friends machines and parade, you first need to get your Wii console number - it is in the system settings.

After you have that, give that to your friends, and get theirs. Then once you have theirs you can add them into your address book for messages.

Once you both have each other in the address book - you can send a message to the other person with the Mii attached. It is pretty easy to do

Here is a blurb from a wii support forum on how to do it:
First of all you need to find your Wii code, to find this click on the envelope on the bottom left of your main menu. Then go to address book, left click on the address book to go to the front cover, that is where your Wii number is displayed. Give this number to a friend with a Wii and ask them for their number. Both of you , register each others Wii number in your address book, wait for a few hours and you will be able to send and receive Mii's and messages. If you dont know anyone with a Wii, you can add a friends e-mail address and they will receive an e-mail telling them a Wii user wants to make contact, all they have to do is reply to the message and you will then be able to message each other. (but you cant send Mii's to a pc) If sending Mii's to another Wii user make sure you check that the Mii's are set to travel in the option available in the Mii parade.

Oh - and by the way - the Wii kicks serious butt....AND video games RULE!!!

that's crazy. They're not expecting to catch up to demand until middle of next year...

So, can you play other friends with the Wii in a different location via the internet?

Rhawn · Posted: Jul 03, 2007 6:52 am Post subject:

No, not yet. Its just so you Mii's can mingle or parade.

My # is 6709 8582 0507 7370

Forewarning, my kids love making very odd looking Miis. Lots of chicks will beards, etc.

oshensurfer, I think the first game has been released for online play just last week. No subscription cost.

Rhawn,

I'm going to try entering your # tonight. Is everybody up for posting #'s?

Wakebrad · Ladies Man Joined: 11 Dec 2003 Posts: 12257 City: Dallas

Is there any risk to this? I haven't done this with my local friends yet.
