Today, I got a Wii and four controllers

For me, this is a big move since I've never purchased a console. Always stuck to emulators before. However, due to some domestic pressure (read: Girlfriend) I got a Wii so we can play with friends.

In addition, I got a 37" 1080P LCD for $800


My wallet is screaming rape right now...

 

^ Congrats, Ken!

The Wii's a console that's seemingly MADE for the sole purpose of letting GFs play and inviting friends over.

 

a 1080p 37inch LCD for $800? got a link? im looking to get one for my ps3

 

Bought it at Target of all places

$719 if you sign up for a Target card (and upon approval)

 

Whoops, my bad. 1080i

 

Olevia...? Can't say I've heard of the brand before...have you set it all up yet?

 

Set it up and I really like it. Color and contrast were excellent on the first try

 

Oh and Olevia is a Syntax brand

 

Nice. How's the Wii...?


Congrats on 20K, BTW.

 

Love the Wii. I was playing Mario Party earlier, its quite addictive.

And right now I'm enjoying Patton on the TV.

They need that movie in HD ASAP

 

I want one but my wife thinks I won't play it. Every console I ever got recently collects dust and I end up selling it.....

 

Good choice for a first film on your new screen.
Do you have an upconverting DVD player?

 

I do in fact. It does look quite good.

 

I love my Wii!

what games did you buy? i would get wii play too for more fun and not sure if you're a resident evil 4 fan, but it's so cool to play on the wii.

 

You know was at Target yesterday and saw that TV. HD sets are becoming cheaper and cheaper which is a good thing... Also do you have component cables for your Wii? Because if you are using the stock composite cables on the HD set it does not look so nice... And yea get RE4 for the Wii!

 

you should see my wife beat my friends at madden


BTW, once my poker checks come in i'm buying a wii

 

Nice!



Mind you, that's like a first that I have ever heard that a girl's playing Madden.
More power to you that she's a willing participant in a good app.




<---- GF only likes puzzles, Guitar-Hero type games.

 

Hell my girlfriend still has her Sega Genesis. We played Goldenaxe a few days ago

 

MARRY HER, DAMMIT!

 

+1

I will send you Alter Beast as your wedding gift

 

I got the 32" version of that TV on black friday for $380. Both of my brothers, my parents, and two of my cousins got the same TV as you, but without the HDTV TV tuner for $500. My uncle got the 42" version of that TV for $700.

Black Friday FTW.

 

you need to get her the Sega CD too as the perfect complement to the Genesis.
