@Kreyg_D: The difference is that back with the Odyssey there wasn't yet federal laws pertaining to the realism of toy firearms. Though this Wiimote-Gun looks rather realistic, as long as that orange tip remains, everything is A-OK. #wii
I can see it now, I'm playing modern warfare 2 and my neighbor sees me through the window with this plastic gun and calls the police thinking I've gone completely mad. LOL!
Dispatch: "911 what's your emergency?"
Caller: "Umm...my neighbor is in his underwear with an army helmet on and holding a machine gun periodically waving his arms and yelling"
While I agree there's not much software out yet to utilize the M+ controller mods yet, this one will definitely rank as one of the best...look at that detail... #wii
@Kuanhung Chen: It doesn't, you know. No impact at all on pointer accuracy, which is all down to the IR camera and sensor bar and isn't affected by the gyros in WM+. #wii
@phisheep: Johnny, he's got about 137 yards to the pin, a nasty crosswind and the greens are still covered in dew from this morning. I'd say a nice pitching wedge should do. Wait, what's this? Oh he's reaching for the MP5K. That's going to be a tough shot...
It's an MP5K...not an MP5...
Sorry, I'm one of those gun crazies who sits on the COD forums and talks about which guns are in the game and stuff like that. #wii
@BelgianBadger: My grandfather had a deer gun and he would always invite me to go shoot with him. I never did as I'm not fond of guns but his aim was horrible! That deer was no where near my face. #wii
@BelgianBadger: Actually thats not correct. Only the MP5K PWD would have a stock and its the side folding solid type. The other Kurzs do not have stocks on them also hence being the "compact" model. If anything its a basterdized MP5K PDW due to the wrong stock. Collapsing stocks are found on the other MP5 models along with the full stock type.
@Witzbold: I was wondering how long it would take for one of these people to arrive. REGARDLESS, it is some form/derivative of the MP5K, which was the point I was trying to make. #wii
@Witzbold:
Can't we all just agree that the mp5 line is getting old, and the mp7 is downright amazing? Me, I'm a civilian stuck with my USP compact as my only H&K, and considering picking up the sl8-6. Too bad they neutered it so much so that it can't take g36 accessories without massive modifications...
sigh, i remember when the sl8-1 was new and only about 1,300... I wanted one so badly. then they discontinued it and 2,000 was a good deal... I also almost picked up a USC, but my funds were low back then. Now that I have money to buy cool things, I'm worried about stupid stuff like gasoline, food, electricity, and my mortgage - LAME #wii
@kingbob337: Yeah I can't believe this costs more. I'm still waiting for them to reduce the price of the original controllers. $60+tax per person when I want someone to play with me is just too much.
@kingbob337: Who thinks this? Who are these people? The 360 Arcade was $199 a long time ago. I play the hell outta my Wii, but it's not cheap if you want a 4 player setup. I've never heard anyone say it is. But the truth is, NO system is cheap if you want a 4 player setup or other bells and whistles. With the Wii, it's the controllers, with the 360 its the wireless or larger hard drive. Until recently, with the PS3, it was the console itself. The PS3/360 games cost more new, but cost less when they get older. Every system has its advantages. In any event gaming is expensive no matter which console you own. It's particularly expensive if you own all 3 like I do.
@subnet6: Except if I want to play a 360 game the way it was intended the original wired controller works just as well as the fancy wireless special edition. Meanwhile the nunchuk is extremely important to the immersion of motion controls (but you must buy this extra), and the Wii motion plus is basically an admission by Nintendo that the original controller was lacking.
@subnet6: Yea I own all three as well, but what 4 player game am I going to play on the PS3/360?
The Wii has tons of 4 player party games... which is almost mandatory to have 4 sets of weapons... Brawl, Mario Kart Wii, Mario Party, Raving Rabbids, and Smarty Pants are just a few of my old games that had 4 player support that was regularly played with.
I purchased each console for their own purpose:
Wii = Party Games, Innovative crap
360 = Games that look like ass on the PS3, Early DLC, Exclusives
PS3 = Online Games so I can ignore GOLD membership, Exclusives
@Benny: You make a good point, the Wii has the most 4 player and party games, but none of those you mention even require a single nunchuck, well I suppose a few of the mini games on Rabbids do, IIRC. BTW, Smarty pants is awesome fun with a group. The tug of war minigame is HILARIOUS. Also, you're reasons for owning all 3 are very similar to mine.
Wii = Off the wall quirky stuff you just cant find on the HD consoles plus all the GOOD motion games/exercise/first party stuff.
360 = All the multiplatform HD games that are better on 360 than PS3 (most of them) + all my friends are online.
PS3 = All the great PS3 exclusives plus Blu-Ray player.
@subnet6: "But the truth is, NO system is cheap if you want a 4 player setup or other bells and whistles. With the Wii, it's the controllers, with the 360 its the wireless or larger hard drive."
Yeah man, your words, not mine. An acceptable answer would have been "with the 360 it's the subscription fees", because those are mandatory for multiplayer experience.
The original point of contention in the thread is that the Wii isn't the cheapest console. Your rebuttal was, "oh yeah? stick this in your tailpipe and smoke it"(basically), but the original point of contention still stands, the amount of peripherals you have to buy for a Wii is expensive. For me to play a 360 or PS3 game all I need is the original controller. They aren't going to make games that require a PS3 Fit Board or a 360 Plus, and both systems are intended for multiplayer gaming online. The Wii is intended for in home multiplayer and is marketed towards consumers who have no use for Wii friend codes and online play. #wiiremote
@GoonerVance: "The original point of contention in the thread is that the Wii isn't the cheapest console."
No. It wasn't. Maybe you should read the thread a THIRD time.
Here, let me help save you the time from scrolling all the way up to the top.
The original contention was that "people still think the Wii is the cheapest console"
And I argued that people DON'T think the Wii is the cheapest console. Guess you missed that part. Otherwise, maybe you'd notice you agree with me.
"Your rebuttal was, "oh yeah? stick this in your tailpipe and smoke it"(basically)"
I made no rebuttal. In fact, my argument (if indeed there WAS an arguement from me) was that the Wii ISN"T the cheapest.
But I went on to say, that all 3 consoles can get expensive if you buy accessories and extra controllers and that's absolutely true.
And, f you want to play specific games, you may need something different or special, like a hard drive on the 360 (expensive add-on), or an eye toy (less expensive add-on) on the PS3, or a balance board (expensive add-on) on the Wii. But it doesn't matter because you've completely missed the point (in some bizarre need to restate that the Wii is expensive) which is this, " NO system is cheap if you want a 4 player setup or other bells and whistles." MY words. Read em again Einstein. A wireless adapter on the 360 qualifies as a bell/whistle does it not? How about a bigger harddrive? I never said you MUST buy it. You don't have to buy 4 controllers for any console, but if you do, it's gonna cost you......alot. Simple as that. If you trick out any system, you're gonna end up spending a lot more than the console alone costs. I don't think I can make it much simpler than that. Hope you're no longer confused.
@Koda89: I don't want, or need Motionplus. I only want more wiimote+nunchuks. This is all around a more expensive option for me either way. I'd still like to see them drop the price on just the wiimote+nunchuk. Even if you argue the motionplus is a "must have" then yes, it's MORE expensive than the old "must have" of only a wiimote+nunchuk. The price went UP.
Really, at Toysrus this week I can get a wiimote+nunuk and a free motion plus in the 3 for 2 deal. It's $20 not $25. So I could get all three for $60 plus tax but that is still too much just for an extra "controller" for multiplayer gaming. /shrug
Maybe when/if they make games that require motionplus that I actually want then this will be a great deal but that has yet to happen. Wii sports resort and golf games are not a must buy for me. #wiiremote
@Koda89: Wow that doesn't surprise me I guess. It's $20 everywhere else though. Btw I didn't mean to come off ungrateful about your first reply I know you were trying to help. #wiiremote

Total = $85
This black set up is only $70 all told. It is cheaper by $15.
