Slingerland Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 I didn't get a preorder, because stores only had around 6, so I'm doing this promotion at Wal-Mart (no Toys R Us stores in Lincoln, Nebraska): http://httwww.joystiq.com/2006/11/04/rumor-wal-mart-wii-ps3-launch-playbook-revealed-midnight-lau/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slingerland Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 OMG GO TO GAMESTOP AND PLAY A WII. Demo kiosks are up and it's the most amazing thing in the world. They had to ask me to leave and said "don't you have class or something?" Then I said..."I did." Thanks, Wii...I missed Classical Mythology because of you and I couldn't be happier.

Blyde Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 Haha, I played the Wii over at Nintendo World on Ere...er, Election Day. I must agree, I LOVED that thing. A lot. It feels so...so right ;_; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slingerland Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 Man, I played Excite Truck like a bazillion times today. I'm so glad the kiosk came in today and that nobody lives in Nebraska. I hate trucks in general, but this game is the exception. Re-____ing-diculously awesome.

Slingerland Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 http://www.gamespot.com/pages/features/onthespot/index.php?tag=onthespot;text Watch the Wii Marathon video. It's 2 hours long and consists of the editors opening up the Wii and playing forever. Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz, with its 50 party games, look crazy fun. I'm watching it now and they're STILL playing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blyde Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 I liked Excite Truck, kinda took a while to get the hang of it though. Still good fun! Also, the marathon stopped loading after about 40 minutes for me. But from what I saw, it looked great. Especially connecting to the servers that don't exist yet.

Slingerland Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Hey, guys, I'm hearing a lot of stuff about these component and composite cables. Early reviews from certain websites, like GameSpot or IGN, discuss how the picture quality difference between composite and component is "night and day", respectively. Why does the Wii ship with the composite cables when the component cables are better? Plus, what are each of them? I'm lost on the terminology.

SefirothDB Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Why does the Wii ship with the composite cables when the component cables are better? Plus, what are each of them? I'm lost on the terminology. Cheapassery and making you buy propietary accessories for moneis. As for the second question, composite is your regular AV cable with 3 colors (red and white for audio and yellow for video). Component has the 2 audio colors but divides the image transfer into three parts: one for luminance and two for chrominance This results on a much cleaner image (data doesn't get mixed) and has bandwidth enough to carry HD signals. Composite. Component. As far as quality goes: Coaxial << Composite <<< S-video < Component << DVI/HDMI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 For the record, you are ONLY going to notice the composite component difference if you have an HDTV.

Slingerland Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Ah, see I don't have an HDTV. Thank you for the clarification, Sep and Koray. And yeah...I heard all about the composite vs. component through fanboyish bitching and I'd wish they'd shut up. (Man...who is that hot girl all up in Koray's posts?)

Slingerland Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 OMS, DW! Another fad! You need to hook me up with the original Eggman sig, so I can put my custom burger on it. I'm totally making more room in my dorm for the Wii's arrival. I need enough room so that I may be able to explore the space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
