not to mention the prices for the games on the PS3. upwards of 80 bones for some titles.
I am sticking with the Wii. I can get Rampage for 20 bones, and it's a brand new release title!!
I haven't seen one game over $59.99 for the ps3, going to game stop and sorting ALL of their ps3 games by price, the highest is $59.99, wii games top out at $49.99, but then again as I mentioned before most of theirs are kids games. Going through the list of wii games I see none that I really can't live without, they still havent released graphic details on it and the graphics reviews at e3 were not so good, i would just stick with my ps2 and xbox before i bought the wii. Simply put the reason it's $250 is the hardware just isn't as high performance, ie graphics, lack of hard drive, no HD-DVD/Blue ray option. I would definetely be deciding between the 360 and ps3 after having done some research.

plus on another note.. once you put a game in the ps3, its registered on the system and cant be played on other consoles
Sony has said that was a rumor and wasn't true, unless something changed in the last couple weeks. This feature would bar people from playing used games and I don't see it happening.

If sony actually started doing that it would be some **** ****. I don't see that happening cuz they know that would royally **** customers/consumers off and then they will only pay 300 and get a 360 not 800 for a damn ps3

Realistically the ps3 isnt more then the 360
360 is $400 for the pro, which is a wirelesss controller and 20 gig hard drive plus $199 for the HD-DVD = $600
PS3, 20 gig hd one wireless controller and Blue Ray DVD =$499 If you compare apples to apples the 360 is actually more then the ps3.

Hmmm, read more about the Wii, and I am going to get it. I love how the control is set up. I have been waiting for a system that was interactive like this. Now I won't get fat as **** playing video games. Plus my g/f wants to get it just for Big Brain Academy. Woot!!

works out pretty good then if your old lady is kool with it, and yes the Wii looks very entertaining nintendo has always had some pretty good party games such as mario party and but it doesnt have as good of graphics but the price makes up for it

I got the 360 about a month after they were released and I couldn't be happier. There was a problem with my first 360, and Microsoft overnighted me a new one and I returned the old one, no questions asked. I played SOCOM and I prefer GRAW over it on the 360. With Gears of War about to break, I will be spending alot of time on mine with the HD 50" plasma in the near future... All this just to by time until Halo 3
