I never had the money when they first came out and instead bought the wii when it came out. I thought I really didnt need a syste that cost 300++ for dvd playback/cd playback and a harddrive.

I have had my wii for almost 2 years and have been happy for the most part, but the x360 just is sweet.

I love that I can play movies with component cables and even use an optical output for sound to get dts surround out of movies that support it. The grphics are sweet too. Playing games in Dolby Digital 5.1 is ohh so nice.

I had been talking here about getting the arcade since it was only 199, but then I saw the x360 Pro w/20gb harddrive with component cables for only 259 and talked my wife into letting me get that one. I really dont plan on going online anytime soon since i need wireless due to my router being so far away from my system and the wireless plug in for the system is about 100 bucks i ink. Besides, I pretty much stick to sports games/alternative games that me and my wife can play.

But to have the true surrund sound and higher res. picture quality for games just is awesme for me, since I have had the wi play n 480p the last 2 years approx.

Just thought I would say I am really impressed and cant wait to get a few games like TW golf 09 and prob Smash Court Tennis 3.

Congrats on your new system! I too use 5.1 surround sound and its awesome. Good choice getting the pro. I remember your old topic about definitely getting an arcade. You may need the hard drive someday.

Glad to see you finally got your 360. :) I love all my sytems (for the most part) since I'm a video game collector, but have developed a special fondness my 360, over the last couple years, since I got it in 06.

Check out this thread:

The 360 Recommendation Thread - What Game Should I Get? v2 *56k*

It's an awesome place to start when first own your 360. gamespot users have a lot of great suggestions for the 360. ;)

Congrats!!! On buying an Xbox360. It has a big game library and many great exclusive titles. You'll love it along with your wife.

Oh and there are component cables you can buy for your Wii. I bought my component cable for my wii about 2 months ago. Although it is a "bit" sharper doesn't make much difference.

I had the component cables for the wii...It was good, but only 480p though.

I sm selling it anyway...Just need money to pay for the x360 now and I dont mind selling the wii. I had my fun with it but its time I move up to the big boy now and i cant afford to keep both.

Oh well, the wii was fun while I had it.
