Discuss there.
Should of got the original poster, to change his first post into a poll.
I guess this will do, unless a mod wants to combine them.

I'm not sure about any of them, yet. But I am favoring the ps3 the most at the moment.

I've been PS3 + Wii all the way for a long time. But have always planned on waiting a year after the ps3's release to buy one. That way, Hopefully, the 1st-model Bugs & flaws would be worked out, it will have a Larger game lineup with a variety of genres and maybe even save a little cash in the process.. The Wii hasn't looked as much fun as it did 6 months ago. I've seen people playing with it on youtube and stuff, and it looks like it would be something fun to do with friends. But I just can't see myself getting into it like I thought I might 6+ months ago. And I'm not really a graphic whore, But the screenshots I've seen are horrid.. So, I considered the 360. Now on-top of the fact it uses DVD9 and you have to pay for online play, I have a few more reasons to not like the 360:
-------
You can't do much of anything w/o the harddrive. So it only makes sense to buy the $400 Premium System which includes the Harddrive.
-------
The harddrive is advertised at 20GB, But Microsoft reserves a huge chunk of that. So, You are really only getting 13GB.
-------
You only get 1 wireless controller in the "Premium System"($400) and only 1 WIRED controller in the Core System($300).
-------
To connect the 360 to your wireless network you will need the "Xbox 360 Wireless Network Adapter" Which is $100!

Definitely getting a Wii. It's yet to be decided whether i'd go with 360 or PS3 however. I'm waiting to see how that turns out but i'm liking the direction 360's taking. Bioshock and Mass Effect looks really good.
The xbox360 is winning?
I see most people talking about the wii, but 360 is winning. Thats weird.
Should of made a combination of them hehe

That's pretty much the only thing I agree with in your post, but you're totally right. Why in the hell do they need to charge so much for a wireless card? Thank god I wired my house for cat5 :p

I'm sorry, but I love my Xbox 360, and I don't plan on buying a PS3...at least not for a very long time. I never thought I would say either of those things (Sony fangirl here) but this gen console battle took a turn for me. I am seriously considering a Wii just for the fun aspect, but at $250, I'm still hesitant to buy it right out of the gate.
