Lol, I'll stick with my dreamcast and sega cd. People call me stupid 
because I'm So old school. I love burnout paradice though for ps3 - I'm 
thinking of giving that a wurl on the pc, since aparently you can start 
your own cars and everything. Though I've yet to have any luck with a game 
on the pc (need for speed I'm looking at you). I hope its the same on the 
pc as ps3.

That works well, but then of course you have to deal with the awesomeness
that is trying to find the start button, and the go back button. And then 
of
course not all games use the d pad for navigation.  Ahem carnival games 
I'm

looking at you.
And you too deca sports.
I'll stick with my xBox.  Heh

If any of you have played the Wii, you know that it's just about 
impossible
to start, since on the startup screen there are seven buttons to 
push--four
on top and three on the bottom, which makes for a confusing and 
frustrating
day at the Wii console.  Even though you know the one you want is in the 
top

left corner, you just can't seem to find it and instead find yourself
adjusting your daughter's mii... (which is the way she programmed her
character to look in the games.)  Incidentally, I gave hers quite the
hairdo.
With the screen in such a state, you might spend an hour starting the 
game
you want and have time for a match of tennis before dinner time--if 
you're

lucky.
Well, fear not Wii fans, because I have found a solution.  You'll need
sighted assistance for this but...
In addition to the page containing the start game icon, there are three 
or

more pages with additional channels.  There are two ways to get to those
pages--the plus and minus keys on the Wiimote, or the arrows on the 
screen.

What we are going to do is to drag each channel, (accept for the one we
want--the start game icon,) to another page.
Have your friend hold a and b together while pointing at a channel, then
move to the right arro and let go--and they have successfully moved the
channel.  You'll know it because you'll hear a chirp from the Wii and 
your

friend saying, cool.
Have them do this for the next five channels, and you're done.  You now 
have
a startup screen with only one button--well, plus the arrows, but they 
won't

do anything accept change pages and you just hit the minus button to get
back to the first page--no harm done.  So now all you do is move the 
Wiimote

around till it vibrates and you're there.  Make sure that your assistant
moves the channel you want--the start channel which, if they can't figure 
it
out, will say Wii sports, on it if that CD is in, to a place far away 
from
the arrows--the upper left corner perhaps. I can now start the game 
almost
every time I try it, although somehow another channel appeared on the 
first
page--but that's what happens when you let your children play with 
adults'
toys!  LOL Well, if any of you have or are considering to purchase a Wii, 
I

hope this helps.

Yes, wii does. The music or sound could be a loop or short depending on 
individual games. For mortal kombat armageddon is a simple 2 fierce notes.

  Not sure if the wii or xbox360 have this, but I know for sure the ps3 does. 
  For most games there's a little thing called the XMB media bar and when you 
  highlight the game disc, it plays a 10-15 second video of the game, complete 
  with music, so we know exactly what game it is. As an example, if I was to 
  highlight the game disc for heavenly sword in the ps3, it would play a 
  heavy, movie-style orchestral track as opposed to the video acompanied by 
  applause and cheering from a crowd with the rock band and rock band 2 discs.
