Ill stick with getting a Wii instead,especially with the new Zelda game,upcoming Super Mario galaxy,and hopefully new super smash bros and mario party games. What pisses me off is you cant even get old rare games like Perfect Dark for the N64 for the virtual console because rare is owned by microsoft...thats retarted damn you microsoft!!! oh well i have Perfect Dark for the N64 anyways so not that it matters.
I'd have to disagree. I def think the PS3 is worth every bit of the $600 due to all the stuff it has. I posted on another thread that to get the similar stuff out of an XBOX 360 you'd have to spend more than $600:

XBOX 360 Premium - $399
Wireless Adapter - $99
HD DVD Adapter - $ 200

Total spent: @ $700

Plus you only need the HD TV if you want the full 1080 experience. Otherwise it will just downscale to 480.

True.......the wii browser is a bit of a letdown after the excellent forecast channel. The Wii can't output better than 480p resolution, which isn't enough to be able to browse the net with and be able to read all of the text clearly.

PS3 on the other hand has no decent games........and I don't wanna hear that Resistance is 'awesome'......I played it, and it can't hold a candle to Gears of War. I know 2 people who bought PS3 and bought no games. (I suppose they're both idiots). Resistance reminds me of Timesplitters 2 with better graphice and CoD backgrounds.

Xbox 360 is great.........but I prefer multiplayer games with my friends in the same room and not over the net.


XBox 360 = Multiplayer internet games
Wii = Multiplayer party games
PS3 = Single player so-so games with good graphics

I guess it depends on what kind of game you like or how long you played. For the most part the PS3 lineup sucked, but I'd probably pick Resistance over GoW. I like GoW and think it's an awesome game, but I enjoy the weapon selection, and story of Resistance more. It's pretty cool to shoot around corners and through walls. Imagine doing that in GoW! That would make the gameplay totally different yet enjoyable in my opinion. Plus the big boss battles on GoW were a big let down (the Corpser, and the other one right behind the Fenix estate - I forget what it's called).

As for the Wii browser I haven't had a chance to download it, but after reading many bad posts about it I'm in no hurry to. I'll just keep hammering away at Zelda.

Toys R Us is your best shot at a wii. There are much fewer of their stores around than the other chain stores, so each one will get big allocations.

If you go to the Nintendo store (near the Christmas tree in Rockefeller Center in NYC) at 4-5am (7 days a week) and wait for them to open at 8am then you'll get one for sure (provided you're within the first 100 on line).

When I got the PS3 originally I didn't buy any games (just a few Blu Ray movies because 1080p is GR8!). You're right there's not much out there for the PS3. I've downloaded all the playable demos and bought Resistance & Ultimate Alliance, I can't wait for Grand Turismo HD (I'm not even a gamer anymore). Six months from now when PS3s are plentiful and programmers better they'll be plenty of great games.
