Regarding power consumption:
http://www.lcdtvbuyingguide.com/POWER CONSUMPTIONBecause LCDs use florescent backlighting to produce images, they require substantially less power to operate than plasmas do. LCD TVs consume about half the power that plasma displays consume. The reason: Plasmas use a lot of electricity to light each and every pixel you see on a screen - even the dark ones. Though plasma manufacturers have improved voltage consumption requirements a plasma TV will consume around a third more power for the same size display.
:shock: How can you leave Sharp out? They're the industry leaders when it comes to LCD!Samsung or Pansonic LCD's.Nothing else, trust me.

Absolutely, or at least RGB scart. But seeing as they're both the same price (according to Gameplay) you should go for Component.Guess if I do get this TV, I should order the component cable
And trying to get a decent widescreen CRT these days is almost impossible too, although I did manage to find one recently, a 28" JVC from Tescos. Very good TV with nice picture and sound quality and almost no geometry issues, apart from a little in the top left hand corner.This is the one thing thats keeping me from getting my new tv. Nobody sells non-HD ready tvs anymore so we're all kinda stuck.I was considering getting it for while, but it's too big / heavy for my room really so I'm going to get a 26" LCD instead. Anyway, the screen size on a 26" LCD will be around the same as a 28" CRT though, just minus all of the extra weight / depth. :awesome:

Tell me about it!:Must... resist... urge... to... click on... SPOILERS!

Judging by the fact that Nintendo seem to demo Wii on nothing but HD LCD Screens (see my earlier post in this thread) I'd say not much of a problem at all.How much of a problem is this supposed scaling?I get the impression that the majority of these "LCD horror stories" come form people that have really nice TV's and then connect stuff via composite expecting it to look good.
Component and progressive scan will make the world of difference.

That's about as Old School as I can get it.

But surely a "turbo charged cube" is in between the cube and the ps3.We are seeing a turbo charged cube, we are seeing nothing in between the cube and the ps3

That guy is a legend!New videos showing people playing wii sports.Don't forget to check the one with the old japanese couple
(and the black dude)
I reckon he should be in all Wii adverts.Couldn't resist making a quick vid:

You don't need to upload it, just copy and paste this in to your sig:Thanks a lot RedShell. The sig is great but, im having trouble uploading it and to make maters worse when I try to make it smaller and try to upload its says that it was unable to save the image.Can anyone help?

Hehehe! Cheers demonmike04.Lmao! Redshell, how come your always the funniest one?Ever considered comedy as a career?
Here's another one:

No idea how many they'll get, but I very much doubt any GAME stores will get none at all.Has anyone got 'any' idea how many consoles GAME shops will get in each store?Also i am right in saying that every GAME store will get at least 1 Wii right?
There won't be any stores that don't get one, thats what i meant?
I reckon there will be more than enough systems to meet the initial demand anyway.

I know we discussed it before in the "Need a TV for Wii thread" but I'm still confused by all this. I just don't see why Nintendo would demo Wii on HD LCD TV's if they're as bad as people make out. As far as I can tell every event since E3 has used Sharp AQUOS LCD's to display Wii, check out these pics:Great thread, though maybe you should add something on HDTV scaling and scaling lag perhaps (I see a lot of people saying that they're gonna buy an LCD HDTV for the Wii and if they do so, they're gonna be very disappointed!)E3:
UK Event:
Japan Event:
US Event:
Nintendo Fusion Tour:
The same TV is visible throughout those pics (apart from the Japanese one) but I'm willing to bet it's the same Sharp TV behind that cover on those ones too.
Anyway I definitely need to get myself a new TV before Wii comes out (currently got a 14" CRT
) and I'm seriously considering an LCD now, probably this one:Great thread by the way!

Yeah, I'll give em' a call at some point today.Oh right...how odd! Don't worry Redshell, you can ring customer services and they will change it for you without effecting your time of preordering.Cheers.
: peace:

That was the only option I didn't have!There wasn't any other option instead of free courier postage, i'm sure.It was just the 3 that I mentioned before and I've got the 99p one:
----------------------------------------------------------Delivery: 0.99 GBP
Discount: -6.00 GBP
Order Total: 294.95 GBP
-
I ordered mine from Gameplay yesterday but I think I made a mistake with the postage thing as I forgot to change it from the 99p one.Did anyone else get the 'Free Courier Delivery' with the console?Does it mean we will still get it on day 1 assuming there's enough stock?
I don't remember seeing a 'Free Courier Delivery' option though,
only 2nd Class (Free), 1st Class (99p), and Next Day (£4.95).Which option did everyone else use?

Gotta love Japanese to English translations:
LinkThe relation between the television and the Internet changes with the family in one means to confirm the hot poo increasing, and I think that existence in the home of the game machine changes. -
Don't know, but if they have it'd be a good sign, and make it more likely to be region free I guess.do you think Nintendo will put in the language change like they have on the DS. -
Good move I reckon. (Unless Europe do end up getting it first of course.after seeing all the muiltimedia vids i think i am gonna get a US wii and a Japanese one afterwards. ) I've not been on the ball as far as the whole region thing is concerned though, has it been confirmed that Wii is region locked?
Yeah when I saw that I almost fell off my chair! And how about the Photoshop style image editing? Seriously impressive stuff.Wii photo is just insane my pc would chock loading those pictures never lone doing a whirlwind with them -
Yeah, that looks great too. Everything in the vid does. Man I'm going to be so poor when Wii comes out!Anyone see 'Forever Blue' in the video?It's a scuba-diver game and it looks wonderful!
It's by Nintendo as well!
For some reason, i really want that! You go around sunken ships and sharks probably try to get you!
-
WOW!
I'm just amazed after watching all of those vids! The Wii looks simply astonishing! I can't believe the amount of stuff that it can do, seriously. This thing looks like it could replace my PC! It's practically got Photoshop on it for god’s sake!
And that create your character thing is simply awesome, as soon as I saw that in action I was in heaven, It's so fresh yet so old school at the same time. 
I've been blown away by what I've seen so far, and its not even games!

What are you on about!?RedShell your sigs are awesome
So modern and sexual lolAnyway, my sigs aren't sexual... this is sexual:

Wii Sports: Airplane
in Nintendo Gaming
Posted
Whatever happened to this game, is it still part of Wii Sports? (Perhaps an un-lockable game
)
Or maybe it is becoming Pilotwings after all.
I just hope it comes out one way or another as it looked fantastic.
