my wife is threatening my 360

My wife likes to make jokes now and then about pouring water over my 360, or stepping on it and "accidentally" throwing it outside our 11th story apartment.... this use to be because i played it alot, but since i got this new job i rarely play it at all, so now it's like it was a waste of money cause now even i don't play it (women and their damned if you do , damned if you don't situations) ... anyways she keeps asking me to sell it and get a wii ( she refuses to have both) cause it's something that she'd play too... i'm not against getting a wii, but i sure as hell aint ditching my 360... any advice?? i love her, so divorce isn't an option, she's pretty much cool about everything except the 360...

My wife isn't a terribly huge fan of the 360, but shes understanding.  We rented a cabin in the moutains Superbowl week with about 16 other people and one of the couple's brought their Wii.  I told my wife it was going to be there and she was not excited in the least.  We got there, she played, she loved...the Wii ended up being an early Valentine's present to each other.

Get her to catch the bug and you'll have a Wii soon enough.  The Wii is for both of you, the 360 is for you and I'm sure she does something to relax that you don't necessarily enjoy doing.

That would be hardcore to the extreme if someone divorced their wife over a videogame system.  I'm sure it would be more because of the stubburness of the wife but it would definately be noteworthy. 

I'm married too and I can definately understand the unreasonability (is that a word?) of women.  I just bought a 52 inch, 1080p LCD TV after MONTHS of research only to bring it home and have my wife complain because she didn't like black.  After a day of watching Blu-rays, however, she quickly changed her tune. 

So that said, my advice is to buy the Wii and offer to take it (the Wii) back in a week or two if she really hates having it and the 360 in the house.  The thing is ultra small and won't look like more than big router to people who don't know the difference.  But, in the end, keep the 360 over the Wii.  I've got all three and I can't remember the last time I played games on the PS3 or the Wii. 

I'm in med school so I also understand the whole time crunch thing.

And please, no cracks about being in med school and buying TVs and have all the systems.  I work very hard, save my money, only buy electronics, and campaign very effectively during Christmas with the inlaws. 

Just get a Wii and explain to her that you're not going to get rid of your 360.

Get the Wii, keep the 360, she will get over it.

Thank god I earn all the money in my household......no one tells me how to use it, but I also have a cool wife that likes to play the 360 also.

anyways she keeps asking me to sell it and get a wii ( she refuses to have both) cause it's something that she'd play too... i'm not against getting a wii, but i sure as hell aint ditching my 360... any advice?? i love her, so divorce isn't an option, she's pretty much cool about everything except the 360...

Keep the 360 and buy her a Wii and tell her to stop complaining before you throw her out the window of your eleventh story apartment.

give her a jewel, some roses and a kiss... then go play your 360, she wont bother you anymore.
