depends on how much money you've put into your PC...I would say no, and just save up for a wii It's great, but not that great... EDIT: and don't you need a computer to set up the router and stuff? seriously though...keep your computer

Tough call man. The wii is only $250 plus maybe a hundred if you buy an SD card or another controller and a game. You must have a crappy computer to compare the price of a wii. So if you really like the wii then go for it.

No you don't. You don't need a PC at all for the Wii to go online for anything

The second I saw this thread I copied the title, pasted into my friend's AIM window, and said "NOOB!". You can't replace your PC with a Wii. It's silly. You can't install PC games and stuff...and you can't draw in paint, lol.

not even a hundred for an SD card if you do some searching you can get one for 20 bucks

anyways keep the pc its not the same as on the wii...i rather just keep it and save for a wii

A computer of that caliber is probably not going to be worth trading in.  I just say save up for the Wii and keep the PC.

but wouldn't you need one just in case you want to change settings on the router? I know the Wii can go online without a PC, but a PC is needed sometime in the process if you do not already have a wireless signal going from somewhere

As long as you set a wireless network you don't need a PC. My dad used his laptop, got the network up, and my Wii stays online w/o a PC

youd get like 20 pounds max and for that pc, but why do you need money if youre also going to buy a hd tv(you made another topic) just keep the pc, the wii browser is very clumsy and there is no keyboard.
