Just Easier & Cheaper To Resurrect The Wii / Had Enough PS3 Lag

Well i decided to put the PS3 in retirement for a while and pick up Zelda Skyward Sword and a few other games for my Wii.

After my raging frustration from freeze up's and lag's and then viewing those articles yesterday about the 512 ram split into two 256 sections for graphics and memory on the PS3, which was creating the large save file and lag problems, that would most likely not be able to be fixed with an update, i had enough.

So i set up my black Wii and began Zelda Skyward Sword today, then later maybe some Dawn of Discovery and Super Mario...that equates to much more fun to me than having to wait for lag to work itself out or having to restart my frozen PS3.

I mean i bought the PS3 again primarily for Skyrim and stupidly i was one of the one's who waited outside at midnight for the collectors edition of Skyrim.

Well i traded in the Skyrim and picked up Skyward Sword, i'm done with all the lagging and freeze up's.

You guy's say what you want about the Wii hardware, but i'll tell you this, it smoothly run's every single game thats made for it......so i'm happy.

i had to resort to using my wife's new PC laptop with Windows 7.....and that was pure misery, it made me miss and appreciate my MAC in the first 10 minutes of use. It took what felt like forever for me to be able to use the browser, and any other program i wanted, and then i had to read and click all these update boxes and antivirus things that kept popping up, it even took me 20 minutes to be able to access the google chat. Everything is easier and especially FASTER on a mac, it's a shame you stubborn PC fanboys will never realize that.Slimmin360

Yeah...this hasn't been true since...well, pretty much Win Vista because you like it or not Win 7 is a much better OS, 20 mins to access Google Chat? maybe the issue is the Lap Top, you know a 2000 year machine would have troubles with W7.

Anyway on topic, you should also get No More Heroes, Little King Story, Metroid Prime Collection, Okami, TvC, DKCR, Muramasa for the Wii, excellent games and a must play for every Wii owner IMO.

Oh and while the wii is great, you're not going to be able to play a huge amount of games if you just play on it.

lol, skyrim, the 472,643rd straw that broke the camels back, then drove the camel deep underground where it was then subjected to such intense fail pressure from all the other straws that it transformed into petroleum was then pumped out of the ground and used in the production of some hd remake that sells because backwards compatibility was removed from the system.

TC, the problem with MAC's is not their quality, its their price. I know they have to make profits on their computers, but Its just the insane cost they have on them. I can build a good PC for £800, Apple would sell it for close to £2500.

Good OP, Sykrim sucks and you're saving yourself 200 hours of fetch questing. :P

Indeed lol

Maybe if TC had just bought a PC over a Mac in the first place he could have bought Skyrim for the superior platform and wouldn't even have to bother with the PS3 version, but alas...

Does Skyrim even run on Mac, I'm to lazy to check but imma guess no :P

What good is a super powerful console if it doesn't work? This is one reason Nintendo is at the forefront of gaming. They actually run QC on their products BEFORE release to make sure they play games. Sony usually is good on their hardware though. It's really Microsoft that has faulty hardware.nini200

From my IT experience, I've usually found that the majority of people who own a Mac do because it's either (A) more attractive (which they are, generally, their hardware aesthetic is very sleek) or (B) know hardly anything about computers and have bought into the lie that Macs are simpler (which they're not, they're just as headache inducing as any other computer system). I won't ever own a Mac until they can cater to my PC gaming needs and they hardly give it enough attention to warrant my interest.

That makes sense.

It's the Ps3's fault Bethesda has the worst Programmers in the industry.

funny story...zelda SS has a show stopping bug. if you do certain things in a crtain order you cant finish the game. it does take a very specific set of steps to happen but if it does its basically start again time (no bad thing since SS is awesome). ninty also screwed up a bit with paper mario on the wii. similar story (except its not a show stopper). if you do certain things in a certain order the game will lock up the wii. these are pretty minor compared to obsidian or bethesda games (though the SS one is pretty nasty if it happens) but no one is perfect.osan0

The hardware on the PC laptop is a 2.6ghz processor, 320gb hard drive, 2 gb of ram, 512mb video card, so it's not the hardware, it's the lousy operating system.

As for as updates go, Safari and itunes might update once a month, taking only about 30 seconds from start to finish, but when does apple charge for an OS update? MAC OS X Snow Leopard and OS X Lion are two new and different operating systems and were only $29.99 on release day.

When a new Windows OS is released they cost no less than $150.00 plus, depending on which of the 5 different editions you want, and the price only goes up from $150.00....lets not forget about all the anti virus crap you have to put on there, so if i were you i wouldn't be talking about costly OS's and software because Microsoft charges through the teeth for their OS's and there software like Office and many others.

So... basically you had enough of Bethesda releasing broken games on the PS3!?!? Good, me too! Let's not buy their games on PS3 and send them a message. carljohnson3456

LOL, if there is one thing that system warriors have a nearly absolute consensus on it is that pc>mac

I purchased my laptop 3 years ago for $700. It came with 2.0ghz core 2 duo (weakest link), 4gb ram, a respectable 512mb graphics card, and a 3 year warranty. It ran WAY faster than my gfs macbook which she bought months later for ~1300 and my brothers high end macbook that was over $2000. Additionally, they are both having computer problems while i've had none (except for some physical damage which the warranty ended up covering)

Installed windows 7 which I got for $20 a few months after release and haven't had any problems with software since. In fact, the only annoyance I do have, is that damned Itunes which is probably the most horrible program ever created. Always trying to install sh*t on my computer that I dont want or do things automatically that I don't want done while effectively preventing me from doing the things I DO want to do with its limited options and proprietary bullsh*t.

My desktop is a 7 year stock dell pc that I purchased for around 500 at the time. I've taken great care of it and it is faster than most of the brand new macs on campus (and the pcs for that matter).
