    Hands down? The wiiiiiii!!!

    Who can resist every nintendo title made?

    Who made the classic games? Nintendo!

    Even though we dont have a Wii, I will buy one, continuing my tradition of having every nintendo system there is.

    Cant wait to play Lylat Wars, Super Mario Kart (the SNES one) and Megaman (SNES)

    I'd be tempted to go for an Xbox 360, especially if you have an HD TV. Lots of games, lots of fun, online stuff.

    I'd wait until there are more longer-term games on the Wii (all you've got at the moment is Zelda, which works fine on my £30 second hand GC anyway). And PS3 is a bit expensive for something that's basically the same graphics and controls wise as the Xbox 360.

    There are lots of rumours of an Xbox 360 with larger hard drive/HDMI coming out soon though, so might be worth waiting...

    The wiiii's the best console - if you want power, stick with a pc

    If you want fun/innovation, go for the wiii

    Consoles will never outperform pcs and they should stop trying

    I'm going to risk it by saying a £280 pc won't beat an Xbox 360, ever. Maybe at data storage, but that's it. Dell's £300 pcs can't even run Aero. They can hardly run XP.

    You lose weight with the Wii, and that couldn't hurt.

    I ask because it's usually something like that which causes outbursts like this, needless to say I dissagree completely.

    The Xbox 360 has more games that I'm interested in than the PS3 (Mass Effect, Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey) and a bunch of inane shooters. The PS3 I'm sure could out perform the 360, but if I don't care about the games, I will never bother to buy Sony's Disaster. I expect to own a 360 by the end of the year.

    The Wii on the other hand is home to some great games of its own, with sweet new controls. I've not bought one yet, but I will. Twilight Princess and especially Metroid Prime 3 are reason enough for it. The Virtual Console is plenty of reason too. I will buy a Wii at least when MP3 comes out, if not before.

    To get the best out of the modern consoles one needs a GOOD display. We're talking about something 30+inches and of course HDTV. Then the correct cable, and people, let's not forget a decent sound system. Oh, and the console, controllers and the games.

    Right, so that's:

    £500-1000+ for the TV
    £30 for the correct wire
    £200 for the sound
    £300 for the console
    £50 per game

    Hmmmmm...

    I've just recently got an old X-box. It with 15 games and accessories came in at £80. I've wired it to my projector and my PC sound and it's pretty good.

    Maybe in a few years...
