Pretty much I'm just wanting some input on this console. I already have a PS3 and a 360. I love them both and use them all the time. Thing is that I have like $95 in credit at a KMart and I know they have some Wii's. They always do. So technically I could get a Wii for $150. Is it worth it? What titles are the main sellers? How are the store games? Anything I should know if I were to purchase one? Basically anything that you feel will help me make this decision is much appreciated.

Hmm... A price cut? Now why would Nintendo need to do that? The Wii is more expensive than the 360 over here, yet it still sells at least three times quicker. But as KEVERS said, add Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition to the mix. It's a lot better than any other iteration. If you plug it into a HD TV with the right leads, you even get the odd extended cutscenes... :P

Yeah you should get one. No More Heroes, Fire Emblem, Mario, Ghost Squad, Metroid, Brawl, and Zack & Wiki are some good ones out now. Future games you have Fatal Frame 4, Monster Hunter 3, Tales of Symphonia, Mad World, and yes E3 is right around the corner. It is a fun console to have and seeing that you have the other 2 you won't have to worry about not being able to play that one game

Is dat the game where the guy has the sword and charges it by moving it in an upward male organ thrust motion then decapitate enemies with infinite amounts of blood and gore and arms flieng across the screen with the japanese lip moving while english talking? If so then get that game first because it looks badass!!!

Yes, it is... Everyone loves No More Heroes. It's a lot better than Killer 7, and that's an awesome game too... Don't forget that Nintendo have promised to unveil a load of core games for the Wii (that's the kind of games that actual gamers are inclined to play) during E3, too...

I'd do it for $150. You could get Mario Kart which almost justifies the whole purchase, plus Metroid and Mad World. Surely some more good **** will come along before the wii is off the market.

Sports is fun when you're loaded with friends...

Like the Wii, the PS3 has no games I feel worthy enough of my $60 (if so, they are few).

You are the anti-Wii hater...which is just as bad as your regular Wii hater.

Asking if its worth it.....in the end its still your opinion thats gonna decide it.
I say just get it, if you dont like it just keep it maybe there is a game in the future you will really like.

I do not own all 3 and I do not think all 3 are worth owning, does this make my opinion invalid?

Just because you are a multi console owner doesn't mean you get a free pass. What you decide to waste hundreds of dollars on doesn't give more or less of an open mind.

Isn't Mario Kart just the best? It never gets old.

No you are trolling on purpose here. If I get enjoyment it from them then obviously i haven't wasted money. The world does not revolve around you and your opinions toughNAME. Go waste your time somewhere else.
