I'm having serious second thoughts about getting a Wii U this week
I've decided unless there is killer wiiu+Mario combo I won't be buying one.
Haha oh yeah it was Lafiel. You can see how I get you two confused though.

Why wasn't AusGAF 7 an Aeris dies reference? I just thought of that now
Unlike PC, it can play Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed
That game is coming to PC though...

Because classic Simpsons is better than Final Fantasy VII. Not that we got that properly anyway.
Coming being the operative word, as Shaneus knows all too well.
I also wanted something FFVII related.

I'm sure he'll run out and buy a Wii U so he doesn't miss out on the shit-tastic experience that is Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed!
If you call me wrong i'll call you a racist! We'll see which one of us will win in the end!

Danoss too cool to smile
At this stage I have to question peoples obsessions over consoles entirely. Even to the point of questioning their sanity.
Just purchase a PC. Sure you miss some exclusives, but you have so many other things to enjoy that you won't have time to worry.
Life is good man. Save yourself the worry.

I think they'll get iview and sbs on demand, maybe ch7 and 10 equivalents.
I cannot for the life of me see them getting anything like foxtel or quickflix. Australia's media setup is to blame here, not nintendo. It's just a shitty market for tv content full stop.
PCs are not worry free. They come with their own special set of issues, namely compatibility, drivers, and all that entails. Just because you prefer one platform's idiosyncrasies does not mean they are less of an issue for someone who tolerates another platform's own set.
Yeah, but it is about choosing what those set of problems might be. The PC is a very mature platform now and just continues on its merry way, while every other platform comes and goes in the cycle of console development.
Oh and your statements above are largely non-issues these days (driver/compatibility etc, etc), as has been pointed out numerous times before.

I got on a bike and then Kiara by Bonobo started playing on the radio, such a rad game.

Damn it.
My title suggestion was already a simpsons reference
Yeah, and a good one. But it's not specifically related to the number 8. Which is what I meant.
I'd be open to expanding to Futurama. Something about Omicron Persei 8?
I've been seriously considering a Vita as well. But the idea of essentially paying $200ish for one game (I doubt I'd play anything other than Lumines on it) is kind of scary.I will respectfully state my belief in your lack of impartiality in the matter.
Although, I am floating the idea of a Vita.
I was thinking exactly the same thing. Or maybe this:
AusGAF 8: Rhymes with "mate".
or just:
AusGAF 8: Rhymes with "I think you're a cunt, mate".
That's about all I can think of :/
PC is a mature platform, but every time a significant landmark is reached it starts over to an extent. It may as well be thought of as a sawtooth function. Several steps forward, a couple steps back, ad infinitum.
But the issues of patches, compatibility etc are not non-issues. As a non-PC gamer, I can still readily point to recent issues of PC games with launch issues. Dark Souls being the most notable. Admittedly its a plus that the issues can be fixed by the community (contrast this with Fez never being patched due to recertification costs), but PC is still a platform with its own unique set of challenges.
Just because you tolerate them does not mean everyone else will, and I know my personality enough to say that I generally won't tolerate PC quirks well.
I've been looking at its library a little bit recently, and the other main game under consideration is Wipeout 2048. Everybody's Golf, Katamari, and Little Kings Story are also tempting.
More generally, an idea I've had recently (15 minutes ago) but previously dismissed entertaining til now is that I might just hold off on jumping in to next gen for a few years. Wait til PS4/XB3/WU are all out, established, failure rates are known, good games are out and so on. Then pick one of the three up for cheap.
In the interim, I have a large library of Wii, DS, GC games. I have a snes, a 3DS, a PS3. I have no shortage of heaps of great games to play time and again.
As we go on this decade, more I see the old PC downsides (patches, hardware limitations) cropping up in consoles. PS3 may be my last console.
Edit: Forgot installs
This is true. PS3 is an irritating console at times. I don't know how much of it is unique to my HT setup (this is a generous description) but a typical experience includes booting the system, playing a game, installing a system FW, installing 3 software updates, launching game.
Or, when watching a film, the tv (a bravia, which surely should have excellent ps3 compatibility) likes to switch at least 8 times between inputs before finally reverting back to the default setting (1080p) which it was set to in the first place. Each of those input switches also involves audio farts, which might be an issue with the stereo system itself and an earth loop. (Actually, a bit of research tells me this is the case so I'll fix that).
PS3 though I have to admit does have its uses in my home - bluray and iview.
For sure, I just think that people who dismiss the PCs apparent failings are largely misinformed however. The negative points are way over blown because of (a) history and (b) a lack of knowledge and experience.
How much extended memory did you allocate?
You said:
Which pretty much reads as if you think PC is a worry-free wonderland of flowers and rainbows. (I assume you dont think this, btw)
I said it has its own idiosyncrasies which are presumably just as common as with modern consoles, so you're only just switching one problem for another. Yes, I listed a PC example but also a console one. Hopefully that evens the ledger, I was making a like-for-like comparison after all.
I'm glad to see though you did at least come to acknowledge my original point though:
edit: just to make sure I'm not sounding obnoxious, I'm only saying that all platforms have problems and none are hassle free.

Feeling good about cancelling my WiiU pre order. I'll wait for a 3D Mario or Zelda to hit the system, then I'll bite.

Look at it this way: when everyone else has had their fill of the game and moved on, you and it will still have your best days together ahead of you!

If all my games shit out money every 5 minutes I wouldn't ever have to do anything but play games.
Reality exists though.
Ugh, I think I am going to sit and wait on it. Not enough info, too much uncertainty and FUD.
Might be safest to wait til after E3 2013.
Kookas. They're horrible. Get timtams instead.

Hitler waited too long to invade Russia.
Also theyre not that bad, but theyre nothing like you guys hyped them up to be. Fleh at best. Like Ricki lee.

Hitler spread himself too thin. Like the correct way to introduce people to Vegemite. Also if he was more Communist he would have had a better chance of uniting the continent against Atilla the Hun.
