Does the Wii console allow you to play DVDs in it?

I'm still back in the early noughties with my PS2, for which any 'new' games are pants.
I want a console that offers group fun, EASSSYY (and cheap) online gaming capabilities, good games and good graphics.

I'm looking at the Wii and the xbox 360:

Which do you suggest?
Or something else??

Thanks!

Xbox 360, I just love the online and gamertags <3 It beats PS3, thought I would love PS3 but the Xbox is magical

-- Posted by FuzzyPenis at 9:06 am on Sep. 7, 2008

in my opinion Xbox 360


but i'd advise to look at exclusives on all 3 and then decide what to get

Wii does not play DVDs, I was rather upset when I tried to make mine.


-- Posted by Link01 at 11:47 am on Sep. 7, 2008

Well group fun the wii always wins

the wii online is not brilliant but it is cheap and revetaly easy too hook up. BUT the friend codes are a pain.

good games? depends on what YOU want look at the games

the xbox 360 rules all.

PS2, it still has a better catalog of games then the Wii, 360, and PS3 put together. Seriously.


DS also has a great library.

If you're stuck between the 360 and Wii, get the 360. You won't be disappointed.

It depends WHAT YOU AS A PERSON wants not what you want that person to have.

OP look into the games then decide don't just go for one games console

I dunno, there's still quite a few brilliant releases for the PS2. Odin Sphere, for example.

Personally, I'd go for the PS3. Not for the really commercial games though, I rarely play them. The PSN games are awesome :D also Wipeout is gonna be megapwn when it comes out... hopefully this year...
