I am debating purchasing either the WII or the PS3. I already have a 360, so I don't know which system would be better for me. The PS3 is going to have mostly the same games as the 360, the only exclusive I want so far is Resistence: The Fall Man. The WII has some interesting looking games, however the main selling point is the control style that the system offers. It seems to me that the PS3 will be same as the 360, and only the WII would offer something new to me. But I like getting a blue ray player and Sony has a better history of supporting games that I like than Nintendo. So I don't know what to do! Opinions please

That is the primary downfall of almost all consoles (Except for one), now there will be more interaction between players and the screen. A Type of Virtual Reality, and that is what the Wii Does. Nathan |
| I say just save your money for the 360 games coming out. For the Wii, I dont see really anything that could be closely related to fun, and I wouldnt want to look like a retard playing the game...and the PS3 is just too expensive and IMO, offers nothing that the 360 doesnt. |

Well the decision has been made and the Wii is was my choice. I must say that after playing it vs. the 360 it is a refreshing change of pace from my console gaming experience. The pack in game is great, Wii Sports, I didn't even open Zelda for over a day because I had soooo much fun with it. It is a great system with a very revolutionary idea. I really like it and am happy with my purchase. As time goes on I will probably get the PS3 just because there are some exclusive titles that I really like. Any way long story short I got it and am VERY happy with it. It has even gotten my game hating wife to play! |
Nintendo Accomplished it's Mission then.  Nathan |
I heard that the Hardware was there, but just that the software needed to be upgraded from Wii Online. So thats all incorrect then? Nathan PS. IMO the ability to watch DVDs is pointless to me, since I already have a good DVD player. I don't wan't to spend an extra $100 bucks for another DVD player. |
Why would someone want to play DVDs on a video game console? WII + $30 DVD player + several games = still cheaper than just the PS3 by its self. |

| The reason I was talking about the Wii and DVD is because the Wii is to be the main box of your TV center. Instead of having 3 or 4 boxes near your set, the Wii is supposed to do it all. Only problem is it is not ready to do it all yet. DVD and DVR are coming later. |
I just picked up my Wii yesterday. My wife hates video games with a passion. She has played Wii Sports more than I have played all 3 of my Wii games combined. I was washing the car today and she came out smiling, saying that she beat my bowling score, after practicing for about an hour. We spent most of yesterday playing Wii Sports. Totally awesome system. Now I'm off to play Zelda. |
Awesome! I can't wait till I get a Wii. Won't be for awhile anyways.  Nathan |
