    Omg don't get me started on how slow the ps3 downloads things. 360 is still the best to rent movies and watch instantly.

    It takes the same amount of time as my computer.

    Keep searching.. the question mark was after 2007 meaning not sure if that date was correct. the beta wii U was released in foriegn markets a few years before nov 2012. it failed miserably and was re-released 2012 in the USA. Not false info i'll have to dig up the info and post the thread. also wikipedia can be altered by users. I do not take stock in anything found on there. Also not 100% sure that it was originally released as wii U but it was the same thing they just re worked it based on the feed back. as I said i'll have to go search for the info. I myself am not a big gamer. however my jarhead friends are and that is where i first heard about it being previously released. If i'm wrong I fully appologize. if im correct then.....
    Wikipedia is a very credible source.. dismissing the info just because it came from Wikipedia..I'm not even gonna start on this one.

    The wiiU is a very nice console. Anyone who is talking smack sounds like they have never played on one and are just speculating. It integrates your entertainment center and streamlines it. Its a great TV remote!

    I urge you all to come to my place and we can play some nintendoland! If you said you had the worse time of your life I will leave you alone about it.

    Don't knock it til you try it!

    I'm basing my information off of a video that ashens did of it on youtube. He even timed how long it took for it to load/unload apps. Plus I've seen the specs on it and I'm not impressed.

    Nope. The novelty of the Wii was killed by the Kinect. Unless they start investing in quality graphics hardware Nintendo will remain in the kid and fanboy market. I will stick to my 360 probably until something truly better comes out.

    That's exactly what the wiiU is.

    I've seen videos of the ported games. They're pretty choppy. I can't link the video here (snarky, vulgar british guy, woo!), but for those who want to see it, pm me. It's about twenty minutes long, I think.

    Watching YouTube videos for an opinion is all well and good, but I have all three. I wouldn't just say the wiiU is great if I thought it sucked. It does everything my Xbox and ps3 can do and ALOT more, it's not even a debate it just true. WiiU will be king for the next year until the 720 and ps4 come out.

    Unlikely. 720/Ps4 are rumored to have something in them to prevent the usage of used games. I don't own a Wii, I don't have an interest in it. The same goes for the Wiiu.

    That's the rumor, that would basically kill GameStop. Eventually consoles will be all digital down load and drop discs completely.
