in early days, a 300MHz pc was enuff for ur everyday work and occassional gaming, but then came a new os & u needed at least 600mhz with 128mb ram. now there’s a new os that requires u to have a dual core system, 1gb ram with a decent gfx just to put up its own fancy interface.

consider running a decent pc game on a 733MHz processor with only 64mb ram, u probably cannot even imagine. but if u owned an xbox, u had a machine with the same config & u ran tons of games on it without much hiccups. now lets compare the next gen- both the major players in the console market have a multi-core processor with around half a gig of ram. now to compete with them, lets consider getting a decent triple core system at the minimal pricing & since amd keeps the cost down lets consider amd here. An amd triple core costs around 90$ and a decent motherboard to go with that, 80$ more, total 170$ (roughly 12000tk). then there’s gfx card, a somewhat decent one will cost around 8000tk, totalling 20k, then a good psu to power the card (4000tk more), plus around 7-8k more for ram, hdd etc. total cost- around 32000tk. & since amd isnt available in bd, for a bd gamer a somewhat similar config with intel components will raise the total to more than 45k (comparison- only the processor would cost u around 15k). how long will it serve u with best gaming performance? u cannot say for sure, but definitely not more than 15 to 18 months. now consider pretty much the same config, in a console, u get it for around 20-30k (in bd), & it will serve u until the next-gen console arrives (which is at least 5yrs). of course u loose option to customization, gfx is probably tad bit worse, gameplay slightly different and getting used to the gamepad might take some time, but what u get is peace of mind; u dont buy a game u’ve been waiting for years just to find that ur pc isnt powerful enuff to run it even at decent quality & to get ur expected performance u have to spend on pc upgrades. and when u go to buy upgrades, u come to find out that pretty much all the components in ur hardly 2yr old pc have been outdated and u have to change the whole system to accommodate any upgrades- so there goes another 30 grand. consider this- intel’s core i5 series (socket 1156) has been in the market for hardly 1.5yr & intel is already planning to launch a socket 1155 processor line in early 2011 which will NOT be compatible with 1156, so if u’ve bought a socket 1156 system in the last yr or so, u r pretty much screwed when either of ur core hardware expires.

so yes, in terms of costs associated with gaming, even though its the most popular platform, i’d say pc isnt the way to go in bd. with consoles, u win some u loose some, but they probably will give u the most bang for ur bucks.

i know im not the best writer, but i hope i was able to make my point clear.

There are a lot of wii players in Bangladesh don’t worry bout that man! Stores in bd import a lot of wii games and accessories every month.

But the answer to all your question lies in another question:

Where do you live?

If it’s gulshan or banani or any nearby areas such as uttara, baridhara etc.

Go to DRAGON or SOF. Both of these shops provide all kinds of wii accessories, modding (too play pirated games), controllers and pirated games at the rate of 250tk.

Dragon is situated in Banani super market, second floor. (everybody knows what it is, ask around to get the shop)

SOF is in dubai market also known as UAE market, 3rd floor. You can see the sign, if you look up from the parking lot.

Numbers:

Dragon: 8822139 (open all days of the week except friday)

Sof: 9887384 (open all days of the week except tuesday)

Call to check availability, price and duration needed to mod your wii.

If you live near dhanmondi, your best bet is to go to Bashundhara city, level 6, Game source. (But i don’t recommend it, as i have never done my mods there)

Hope this info helps

1.from where can i modify my wii? what’s the price of modification and pirated games?
2. i also need to buy another wiimote and nun-chuck. so what’s the price?
3. am i going to face any kind of problem after modification?

no one talks about wii in this forum. is it because its not possible to play wii in Bangladesh without any difficulties?

please help me out!!

you said it man! I beat dead space on the 360 have a lot of achievements on it, i remember it being mad difficult on hard!

We can expect to see the PC being used more for tasks other than gaming, even in Dhaka in a few years. Even if PC gaming weakens, it’s absurd to say conventional PCs will become obsolete. All businesses use PCs and console games are made on PCs in the first place.

I used a 360 controller on my PC while playing Dead Space and completed it entirely. Although I had to lower the difficulty (since aiming with a gamepad is so retarded) but it’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make instead sitting up-close to my 46″ LCD.

Completely agree with u,bro !

For most people yes, but for people who goes beyond the regular surfing,mailing and skype,it won’t become obsolete. Cause you know, gaming on the pc is one thing. The need of a desktop pc for me is A MUST! You can’t get a mini motherboard to connect your sata hardware on a netbook or a laptop. Somethings you cant get without a pc, to be honest all the mods available in this world for the 360 (i will just speak for what i did and know) requires you to have a pc first. I am sure the ps3 mod requires a pc to load the homebrew too.

@ Moontasir: come on man, just take it easy. Gaming is not a lifestyle neither a religion. Why get so serious over, why PC is superior to every other console out there?

“So dont even talk about which is better…..nd dont tell us dat wen u hav a friend around, its better 2 play on consoles……but trying playing an MMORPG on consoles……HAH….got ya….”

>>hahah dude what? Do you know anything about Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG)on consoles? These games are being played on the ps3 and 360 for so long you have no god damn idea bro, Oblivion, Fallout 3, Borderlands, Fable and whatever MMORPGs currently out on the 360 such as FFXI and Phantasy Star Universe. Oh how? XBOX LIVE, look it up. Oh and the even better FREE of charge Playstation Network!

So my point being consoles rule PC’s ass in the coop split-screen, drop-in drop out and SMACKDOWN VS RAW style gaming. I would also say online multiplayer but i am sure, somebody will scream “COUNTER STRIKE!!” or “WOW!” so i won’t.

There ain’t nothing in this world, you cant play on a home console, but heck you might end up finding more games to play on the console than the pc. I dont give a crap about ratings personally, i look at the production house,developer and the title when buying for the 360. If i like it i will play it, regardless.

ps. being biased is very easy

Sorry bro, that comment wasn’t directed to anyone in particular. I’ve had readers email me complaining so I had to step in before it got out of hand.

“And don’t talk about money – it doesn’t matter and never will. What matters if you are a gamer at heart or not.”

it wasn’t me who started this topic.it was someone else ! so i won’t be responsible for this…

& the only word i wanna say to everyone is “sorry”.if any of my comments hurted someone’s feelings then i’m really sorry….

Keep it together people and let’s have a friendly discussion.

And don’t talk about money – it doesn’t matter and never will. What matters if you are a gamer at heart or not.

To prove the point home (and no debates this time please). PCs have always been popular in Bangladesh and will always be so. However, consoles are really gaining in popularity in Dhaka and other prominent cities.

If a game releases multiplatform, the PC version obviously wins. And consoles are there for exclusives.

Sure you someone might disagree, but that’s what makes us human – we have our own opinions. Just remember to keep your cool while commentating.

oh,come on,bro.u again?i’m simply tired of wathing those comments of urs…the readers here r trying to point out which is Better in Bangladesh…& u?u r making it so irrittating by writing in ur such useless & senseless comments…& hey,u mentioned above that,”if u can’t afford a good gaming rig then u don’t deserve to be a gamer”….& then u stated that u helped one of ur cousin to buy a pc & for u now he can play a lot of games in his or her pc..now here is the point-u r helping ur cousin to buy a pc..which means he or she can’t afford to buy a gaming pc & if he or she can’t afford to buy a good pc then he or she doesn’t deserve to be a gamer ! listen bro,i don’t have any problem with u & i don’t even wanted to write these…but ur comments r simply making me to write these…& now it is making me feel like i really don’t wanna see ur f******g comments ANYMORE !

then ur 360 is compatible with wave 4…u r the lucky one,bro !
looks like ur Dvd-rom is Manufactured by Hitachi…which is the only dvd-rom drive which supports wave 4…atleast for right now….mine is Lite-on..& it’s my bad luck that it doesn’t support wave 4..so i have to play the wave 4 games using the Activate iso disc !

@sng, I told you they advised me to try to run the games on my console before buy, so did I, and they ran. So, I did not have to pay that charges. But then again, be it 700 or 2000 or 1000/= it’s simply fraud.
