I have this feeling that the Wii is going to surprise everyone in the long run.

Should make surfing for porn WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY easier, since, unlike a keyboard, the Wii only requires the use of one hand. You can keep your other hand on your....well.....Wii Wii....

I'll be getting one to go with my PS3 and 360. Nintendo has always been pretty good at kid friendly games so I'm sure my 4 yr old will love it. He's been hammering away at Star Wars Legos for the last week.

What made you decide to get the ps3 and 360? Most people seem to want one or the other, just curious.

Already have a 360 since Microsoft pulled the trigger and released first. Had high hopes and after a very dissapointing initial few months they are finally releasing some decent games. They have some really good games coming out soon. Plus I think their Microsoft Live service is awesome.

As for the PS3 I'll get getting one since they always have an upper hand in game variety/selection. I think their exclusives are better. Overall I think their games are more fun (Ratchet and Clank series, Jak & Daxter series). Plus it will have Blu - Ray.

I'm getting a Wii at launch (I have to have the new Zelda). But I will hold off on a PS3 until they have some decent titles. Right now I am only interested in Resistance and that is not enough to justify the high price. Maybe when Metal Gear 4 comes out I will get a PS3. My Xbox 360 will do me well until then. Gears of War, Mass Effect, Call of Duty 3, Forza 2, Lost Planet, and Splinter Cell will hold me over till then. :)

P.S. Good luck to everyone who wants a PS3 at launch. I'm sure you all heard that Sony is having a hardware problem and are only shipping 400,000 units to North America at launch. Be prepared to be gouged on eBay or stand in line for over 36 hours at Best Buy. Remember the 360 launch? This will be worse. I'm watching this one from the sidelines.

I will definetly be getting one at launch, along with the Legend of Zelda. i honestly never thought I would see the day that Zelda would be a launch title. I am also considering getting Call of Duty 3 at launch. I am not a FPS fan at all, but I have to admit when I saw COD2 for the 360 i was very impressed. The main thing I never liked about FPS games was the control scheme. That's just my opinion, but if the Wii controller is as responsive as they say, then I will playing FPS games a lot.

Sony's launches have ALWAYS been that way. I'm not surprised. They pull that stupid "supply and demand" bullsh*t, but fortunately for them, when they released the PS and PS2, they didn't have Microsoft to worry about. Microsoft has had a decent lead in getting machines out to the public, at a better price, so I'm sorry to say, Sony really doesn't have anything pulling for them except maybe they're releasing a next gen platform and have a LOT more than people think weighing on this machine. So far it sounds ok, but we'll just have to wait and see.

That said, I've considered getting a PS3 and have been off and on for some time. Titles like MGS4, Bully, Devil May Cry, and future God of War (aka, one of the greatest games EVER...) games are getting my vote moreso than any of Microsoft's titles (Kameo anyone? :rolleyes:). But I'm very put off by the $599 price tag on the 60G version and while the $499 20G version is somewhat more attractive, it's not a large margin at all, . Plus, I don't think I'll ever buy a next-gen system in it's early stages. It's a lot like buying a first year car, except you can't take it back to the dealer who sold it to you to fix all the rattles and defects....

I've always been a Nintendo fan. I plan on getting a Wii, but even though it's "cheap" I still can't justify $250 for a console at this moment.

I have to say I'm quite interested to see how many unique (but not gimmicky) games they come up with compared to the 360/PS3 simultaneous release titles.

I seriously started bustin out laughin when I read that...and I'm in class right now.

I'm seriously considering getting a Wii at launch. I've been following the Wii for awhile and it keeps looking better. CoD3, Red Steel, Smash Bros. Brawl, Zelda: Twilight Princess...it goes on and on. Plus the WiiConnect system is pretty interesting. I hear they're gonna start getting M-Rated games for the Wii. They're talking to Take Two so maybe we'll get a Wii GTA game or something. And, last but not least, full backward compatability! WHOO! I can still play Donkey Konga without system switching.
