TOG - The Older Gamers

Anyone else looking at this? Won't be out until next year by the look of it. But it seems to have some promise. Use of the MotionPlus (really need to get me one of those) makes it alot more motion orientated. Few added goodies (remote control lady beetle!) Interesting.

Don't worry I'm sure they will sell it in a bundle.

If they get the motionplus to work and not be a mess like the E3 showing then i am all for it.

I will still need to actually buy a Wii though

Gogogo! Don't listen to sony or microsoft. The fancy stuff they're bringing out can't compete with Nintendo's motion system

You'll fork out a fortune for a few specialty games specifically designed for that piece of technology. Every one of wii's games can be played with it..most can also be played with a classic controller. See...Wii gives you choice

haha I flat out refuse to buy an Xbox though....

I have to wait for games to get older (cheaper), so I won't be able to rush out and get it straight away, but I'm eagerly awaiting it! I don't have the motion plus either, so I'd have to get that too.

Whenever something like this is coming I start a jar. When I do shopping I spend every other coin in my purse before I will spend a 50c. Then, when I get home the 50c goes in the jar. They add up awful fast and you don't miss them

Also you sometimes get lucky. I got the brand new Family trainer (around $120 worth) for $25 at eb games...apparently they sometimes throw a limited number of newer titles in their sales but don't advertise them

I tend to wait until the price drops to. I love my games but they're (unfortunately) a lot lower on the priorities list than I would like.

I have/ had an envelope, but it has kinda failed. For instance, I saved up for starcraft 2 but by the time it come out it had been promoted fo rso long I just got over it. I ended up spending that money on a couple of cheaper games for instant gratification :P

well my problem isn't so much a lack of available funds... it's justifying the espense of buying something that really isn't an essential (much as I consider them to be lol)... when we're pretty much a single income family on a student income (and a mortgage). And I guess I'm a bit of a scrooge too, in that I look at the cost of newer games and just can't bring myself to pay that, when I know it'll drop significantly in price if I wait a year... it's a lesson in patience!

I'm pretty lucky there, I normally get at least one game for my birthday and for Xmas

though rarely anything very new. So I do have a good supply of games, they are just a bit older
