Wii Or Ps3?

[Etrigan]

Xbox 360 doesn't sell coz the bloody things don't work and no matter how much Mocrosoft denies this the truth is they launched a defective machine.

BenQ - I KNOW you have umpteen xboxes and no problems yet, so don't bother leaving a comment. OK?

[stumonster]

I just added my Wii's MAC address to my routers allow list

I don't have WEP/WPA enabled on my system - can you see your access point from your wii ( SSID )

I don't have WEP/WPA either. And it shows the router name too. It's on channel 11 as well.

check in your router that you have DHCP enabled ( auto assign IP address ) and you have allowed enough free range to allow all your devices to have an IP.

then maybe open your Wii web browser which should start the DHCP process and look in the staus section of your router and see that it has assigned an IP address to your Wii.

I downloaded the opera browser when it was free last month.

Nintendo have now found a means to detect the Wii Modchips and have implemented this on Super Mario Galaxy and will likely use this from now on

Everybody with a Wii and modchip will have to upgrade the modchip's firmware to play Mario and games released afterwards

wow,everything i needed to know in 1 mesaage.would you say the 360s are more trouble than they are worth?

which version ps3 and wii is best to use in thailand?

[cowman1]

If you ask if the 360 is more trouble than it's worth you're opening up a whole can of worms, difffering people have different views, mine broke - so I am obviously not impressed, but other people's are fine not, so it's up to you really.

As for which ps3 to get for thailand use, it doesn't really matter as the games are region free, but the dvd blue rays are region specific, so if your watching movies it's worth looking into.

[Peteinbkk31]

My 360 also broke, hopefully thanks to Ian B it is getting fixed but it's been 5 months since it last worked.

The first lot of 360's did have a major issue with them, in that when it overheated the motherboard flexed and pushed some chips out of align thus giving you the 3 red lights of death. When the major flaw is over heating you got to remember we live in Thailand where the heat is ridiculous sometimes. Hopefully the new 360's the Elite and the brand new ones off the line have got a bigger Heat sink and should be ok, but you never know.

You might get a couple of people coming on after me saying that cos their 360 didn't fail or their frends didn't fail that this is just a myth ..... but if it's a myth why are Microsoft putting in bigger heat sinks, also why would they extend the warrantee from 1 year to 3 years at a loss of millions.

If you're gonna get a 360 wait a few months and get an Elite or make sure it was made in the last 2 months.

As for which PS3 as Cowman saidit doesn't matter.

As for the Wii, I bought the Japanese version just os I saved a few thousand baht, tight bastard .... nearly all US games can be played on the Jap Wii in English, just the menus on the console load up screen is in Japanese.

If you got loads of cash just buy the US version.

Colin:

You will be much better off looking for an original USA Wii. Games in teh orignal versions are no more than 2000. Having someone tampering with the machine leads to problems and if your machine is tampered with when you go to download the updates it will recognize the tamperoing and probably turn your Wii into a big white bookend. You have the right idea==== get an original.

Look at the XBox 360 people who are without a console.

are any of the consoles sold in thailand original or do they come from a factory in china?i dont know anymore .does any company in mbk etc give a warranty?

[Ian_B]

The updated Wiikey Firmware is now out and I've already updated my Wii without any problems at all - Just download the .iso file, burn to DVD/CD and run the update program as if it were a gamecube game

Super Mario Galaxy is excellent BTW - A game everyone can play with one of the best in-game cameras ever. Not once do you feel lost or disorientated. Will definitly be purchasing the orginal when it comes out here in a week or two

so you think it is worth getting a chipped wii but only with the new wii key.

[Ian_B]

When you buy the chipped Wii ask them to show you Super Mario Galaxy running on it. If it works then the Wii has the new firmware

I bet most of the shops have this new bios now as it took me less than 30 mins to download, burn to DVD and then flash the console

[SelfAbuser]

Hey Peteinbkk, Do you know how much DVD movies are going for in MBK at the moment?

I will be there in 2 weeks. Is everything still on display on the shop counters?

[millymill]

So I purchased my chipped us wii from plantip, and I am very happy with it, Mario Galaxy- (mario has not been this good since mario64)

Anyway, the next thing I would like to achieve is to be able to burn my own discs as I live in kanchanaburi and have to go all the way to bangkok just to buy games, so I download them from torrents and have them on my computer. easy. The next part is where i'm stuck burning them onto Disc an getting it to play. Iv'e tried but no success, wii does not recognise the disc. What I'm actually trying to burn are N64 Roms.

Any Tips ?

[Ian_B]

For burning "back-ups" there are 2 golden rules

1) Use expensive, good quality blank DVD-Rs

2) Burn at the slowest speed - choose 2x for DVD-R (2.4x for DRV+R DL)

[dekka007]

Dont think you can burn N64 roms directly onto a disk and play them on the wii.

Probably trying to burn an iso of one of the gamecube N64 emulator with roms

[Gluestick]

One thing that I do for the burned Wii games is to use the TDK DVD-RW. The ones in the individual package works while the ones in the cakes don't. They must be made differently.
