Re: Which 3rd gen console will you get?
I agree with my two fellow posters above me and won't be getting any consoles anytime soon. Their games generally cost more to buy and are usually inferior to PC games, so I'll be sticking with my trusty comp for a few years yet
Re: Which 3rd gen console will you get?
I'll probably end up buying a wii, but only when the prices come down.

Saving my shekels for a next-gen PC rig. Hellooooo DDR2 for AMD64 ...
Re: Which 3rd gen console will you get?
From what i'm reading, Wii is definitely the cheapest of the 3rd gen consoles, at $250. How much that is in £ is beyond me, but it's definitely cheap!
Lemur - get with the times. I've been there, got the yummy 64-bit AMD processor.

The PS3 and XBOX 360 don't seem to offer me anything I won't be able to get from the rig I plan to replace by current PC with in the summer.
The Wii, on the other hand, seems truly visionary, and is really innovating in a way the other next-gen consoles aren't. Add this to the fact that I'm a committed Nintendoid, and a Zelda game which may possibly be better than OOT, my favourite game of all time, is being released for the system, and I'm sold.
