PS3 will rock ... too bad it has such a high price tag on it. I won't have one for at least another 2-3 years

^ I saw that coming.

The Wii seems great but I just can't get used to Nintendo's controllers. That's pretty much what ruined the GameCube to me. To me the controller is the most important part about the console, since that IS what you use to actually PLAY the game. Everything else is just a bonus, ie. BluRay, WiFi, MiniDisc, etc.

I know there's lots of hype about it being motion sensitive and that is pretty sweet but I really don't think I'm gonna like pointing the controller in the direction I wanna go. I enjoy laying down and having the controller on my lap, not moving at all and being as lazy as possible when playing video games. And I know everyone has their own tastes, but everything Nintendo has come out with since the N64 just hasn't interested me... except the GameBoy SP, they're pretty sweet.

HOLY SH**!!!!
$600!?
g** DAMN thats expensive
i was told it will sell for 450 flat at best buy

looks like ill be waiting a few years also, going to japan next years a bigger priority anyway

Wii is pretty tight, i thought it was very innovative.
but yes, the controllers after the nes and snes got crazy
i can stand the 64, the game cube was waaay different and the Wii?
i think a gennis (sp) world record for different controllers for each system is being saught after LOL!

Yea the PS3 is $500 with a 20GB HDD and $600 with a 60GB HDD. The $600 version also has WiFi and Memory stick input also. Either way, not worth it...

Save yourself so much thought and Buy a 360, anything that you can easily play music and video off of a usb flash drive or usb hard drive wins it in my book

Vote 1 for the 360
