    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

    I'll probably end up buying a wii, but only when the prices come down.

    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!

    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.

    Sums it up for me. Most big names out on XBox360 and PS3 will be out on the PC at some point, and if not there are plenty of similar games. Wii could be rather interesting, if Nintendo get their act together this time and get more than just a handful of games released.

    I'll buy the Xbox 360 to get my hands on Mass Effect. Man it will be a sweet game.

    That´s exactly what I´m doing, except that I don´t know how to finance this yet.
