Wii Purchase Advice Please!
Hi, I'm looking at the latest wii's to buy for my son and wondered if anyone could answer these questions:-
1) Is the Wii 'Remote Plus' EXACTLY the same as a Wii 'Motion Plus', just named differently between the sellers?
2) Is the 2011 console model better than the 2010 model, ie I've read that later models are slimmer/designed to lay horizontal, but I cant really see what date this kicked in and if it would look that much different if I had an older model and laid it on its side?!!?! I see that 2010 consoles are a bit cheaper but if I bought one of them, would I get less features than the 2011?
Thanks so much (blonde dumb-ass mum) XXX

The main difference between the consoles is that the newer ones can't play older console games from the old game cubes - I wouldn't turn an older one on it's side - I don't think they are designed to be played that way.

xbox kinect is great if you have a big room - real issues if you try to play it in a bedroom - it just doesn't pick up the movements......and it is much more expensive than a wii - a wii with everything you need to play can be had for around the £100 mark now an xbox with connect is at least double that and a lot of the games are aimed at older kids/adults. My kids have a PS3 and a Wii and this seems to cover what they want/are allowed to play. When they hit high school age i'd allow them an xbox.
