    What games will that apply to? CoD3? Just play one of the other CoDs. They're not that different.

    The Wii doesn't support HD or surround sound. The Xbox360 does. Enough said about power.

    I'll still probably get a Wii though.

    The cube allready supported surround, and had way better sound then the ps2 and xbox, I doubt the Wii won't have it. About xbox360, I got one, and I am not impressed, Oblivion looks nice but that's it so far. To make it even worse, the bloody thing is broken, won't even boot. I returned it, and got it back even worse, now it doesn't do anything, at all. The bloody thing is also VERY noisy, but I hated playing on it anyway. I hope the ps3 is better.

    I do want Halo 3 though, and I want it NOW.

    Nope, the cube did not have surround sound nor does the Wii, both do/will use Dobly Pro-Logic II which in essence imitates surround sound from a 2.1 output.

    Oh? I didn't know that, I always felt that the sound of the cube has a lot more oomph then the xbox and ps2.....

    At the risk of splitting hairs, Pro-LogicII is 'surround sound'(look it up on dolby.com if you dont believe me). It seperates out 5 channels + a sub from left/right audio cables. Pro-LogicII may not be as high-quality(particularly in the low-end sound) as it's digital counterparts, but I still thought it sounded great (on my Bose 5.1 system) coming from my GC for games such as Eternal Darkness.

    Who cares about graphics? The Wii is going to pwn the X360 in terms of gameplay innovation, and will come close to it when it concerns graphics. Since the former is far more important than the latter that's a clear-cut win.

    Well it's also a matter of games being released to the console and currently the coming games for 360 look just awesome. Just take a look at Mass Effect.

    It's also cheaper. Nintendo has never let me down yet, and I certainly don't think they'll start now.

    Didn't have an optical out. Neither will the Wii.

    Along with the lack of high definition I think it is a big mistake. Maybe now HD isn't so important, but in 4 years no one will buy a Wii simply because it will look so dire next to other consoles.

    The GC did look stunning at points. Star Wars Rouge Leader comes to mind.
