So which version should I get?
I have a Wii and a PC and I was wondering what version I should get. I like my pc a bit more but if there are differences between the two versions I'd like to know which one to get. I hear the wii one is the "better" version. Is that true?

Is there any ...you know basis for that?
it's for the Wii
Wii Points: You go to a store that sells video games and buy a Wii Points card. (Each card is 2000 points) You then scratch the silver stuff off of the back of the card and type the number into the Wii Shop Channel in the "Redeem Wii Points" section. You then have 2,000 Wii Points and can buy anything under that amount!
Games: Click on the game you want to buy, then click "Download". Then, an 8-bit Mario or Luigi will run across the screen* grabbing coins (Each is 1% of the download). After a while, they will repeatedly hit the third coin block, and the download will be complete!
*Very rarely, Mario and Luigi will actually swim across the screen.
Like that.
The PC version outputs at a higher resolution, though!
I already pointed that out.
and by the way, you can also buy wii points with a credit card right from the shop channel. if you go into the wii shop channel, there is a help section that explains everything.
OR
You can go to the trouble of driving to the store, buying a card, and paying tax on the purchase. Then after driving home, you have to input a really, really long code. And the Wii has enough really long codes to enter, thank you.
The only reason I got a points card was that my store was doing a bundle thing where they would give me a discounted price on a points card if I bought something that I was going to buy anyway. So I basically got $20 for $15, which was nice.
THAT PC VERSION: I personally am going to get the PC version, for a couple of reasons:
(That is not to be read as "This is why people who buy it from Wiiware are huge idiots and here is why:", because that's not what I said)
1. I've been burned by console DRM before.
2. I know I'll be using PCs much longer than I'll be using the Wii.
3. Telltale customer support is the best.
4. I like Telltale's approach to DRM.
5. I simply prefer the mouse to the Wii remote.
6. I watch the Homestar Runner cartoons on a PC. As such, it feels more natural to me to play a game with these characters on a computer screen.
7. Extra bonuses like screen resolution, the system of carrying over goodies, and the inherent benefits of the PC platform.
Also, if there's a bundle, Telltale is the definite choice. Especially if there's a bundle+disc. Because I am *pretty sure* that you couldn't get anything like that with Nintendo.
depending on where you live, you'll probably have to pay tax on the points when you buy them from the shop channel anyway. that's why you have to enter your location information (city, state, county, zip).
But the tax wasn't really the issue here. If you HAVE a credit card, and you were planning on buying the point card on the credit card ANYWAY, then you have a perfectly less complicated way to buy points sitting right in front of your TV.
where do you live?
i'm in michigan, where there's a 6% sales tax. i think it was just extended to internet purchases a few years ago. so my 2000-point purchases usually end up costing $21.20.
