Since the release of the Wii, people have been having problems with them. Though Nintendo haven't had that many consoles returned, people seem to have gone over the top when playing with their Wii.

The bizarre stories are posted here^^ people have put their Wii remotes through TV's, walls, windows and even causing accidents with mates while playing Wii Boxing.

Have a look, pretty funny some of the stuff.

The 60"inch TV's are bad.

I don't really see how these work. I've only seen an advert once. How does the console know which way your swinging?

Via blue tooth, the censors in the Wii pick up the motion of the control. And the problem people are finding is that there hands get sweaty and the strap has broken and then you get problems such as these. If people took there time to look at the instructions and read any safety notes, none of them would be stuck with a crack in there tv :rolleyes:

There standard graphics, not the best but I think mainly its about the interactive gameplay more than anything with the Wii. Although I would like to get both consoles.

If you can spare £500 on one that is, I think the games are overpriced too, but I can't predict if its any god so i'll keep stum for now.

I see your point, but I think i'll wait for Sony to lower the price quite a bit before I get one. Or until I start earning some cash :rolleyes:

i think it will be worth the money, you cnat build a pc with same graphics and processing power for under £1500, so i think £500 is worth it

I don't buy the new consoles now, the games are always overpriced and I'll never go on them. What features does the ps3 have?
