Hello. I have wii family edition and I want to play gamecube games. Is it worth to buy a brand new wii console. the sport edition (not resort) and keep it in the box for five years and then sell it or just buy second hand wii? the price of the new one 180$. the second hand console cost 60$-90$. Because if I could sell it at least for double price in the future I think it's worth it.

I don't think it is but than again it is your family, maybe they will find it more worthy and fun by playing it, if they will love it you might reconsider selling it, and I know Israels economy... so I know that after you buy it you won't get a second chance with PlayStation, I really recommend the second hand market

Well there's several editions. Original sold millions yet chances are most have been opened.

Contents-wise one of the best bundles has a gamecube compatible wii, remote plus (not just motion plus), both sports and resort.

I remember I was enjoying buying consoles and stuff from ebay. But one day I opened my eyes and saw "global shipping program" with unreasonable shipping cost and tax but only if I buy from us seller. The problem is that all the best stuff and 90% of the sellers are from us. For example: wii u 250$. Shipping and tax 150 $. Total 400 $. and you know what it still much cheaper than buy it in israel. But only last generation consoles. My point is that if I going to buy something especially something new I don't want to be how you say it in english? wait I check with google translate... sucker.

I bought the brand new Wii Inazuma Eleven Strikers bundle from Amazon, it is GC compatible, Wiimote+, great price, was and still is worth it. I bought it in February 2013. Altho I don't quite get your question, you are trying to make profit from selling unsealed bundles? I don't think it's worth it, especially since they discontinued the WiFi. But don't take my word for it lol

It does not matter anymore. I bought a second hand WII in good condition for 20 pounds.

    @BigOnYa I had 4.89 hfw on super slim that was great, but when I got a new hard disk I forgot where the guide was and could only find a guide for 4.90 and its resources
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa I think another reason to want to update is if the hfw is at the level of the fw
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    you can sync trophies
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It keeps players in touch with the game like a check list of things to do after they beat it
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa they ruined the gaming experience for me to be honest
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa Im not crazy about getting all of them, i feel like I have something to show for for the time put in
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa If you want to do rgh or 360 mod
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    does it matter if you update your 360 or not before trying is it advisable or not
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea I don't pay attention to them really. Or do I try to 100% a game. I just play till story ends/ or I get the girl!

    Going to the water park, see ya
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Have fun @Xdqwerty. If you see a chocolate candy bar floating in the water, don't eat it!

    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just like any comedies really, and cartoons have always been a favorite of mine. Family guy, American Dad, Futurama, Cleveland Show, Simpsons - I like them all.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    South Park is great cause they always touch on relavent issues going on today, and make something funny out of it.
