I've never enjoyed playing a video game my entire life until the Nintendo Wii came out. Used to buy my kids all the other systems over the years and could never get into any of the games. The Wii is a completely different animal. The bowling is so fun we have leagues set up at our house and even the neighbors come over and play. Tiger Woods Golf is incredible too. Closest thing to being out on the course or at the alley. Probably have 20 of the games and the kids love them all as well. You can even get a bootleg version for around $150 for the system and $10 a game if you know someone who's into that stuff. Highly recommend it. Why else would the machines be so hard to get for a time being?
You wont be dissapointed.

Wii is a toy. I never understood why so many people like them. As for the PS3, I have to agree that it has been a disappointment so far, although it is getting much better IMO. I really like the 360, although mine suffers from the "ring of death" and has not been able to play it for some time.
I would say : 1) XBOX 360
2) PS3
3) Wii

There isn't a versus there. Apple v Oranges.
What do you want to use it for?
Who is going to be playing it?
If *you* are going to be playing it, I presume you should see what games you like and are available. Wii has an entirely different library/genre of games than XBox360/PS3.
Young kids and/or yourself wasting a very small amount of free time, get a Wii. Games are fun, no learning curve, no huge time investment required. Wii Sports is fun, as is the whole Mario genre.
Teenagers, and/or yourself wasting hours, get a XBox360 or PS3. Graphics are great, games take hours to learn and hours upon hours to complete.
As for XBox 360 versus PS3, each have a few exclusive titles (XBox 360 has more, like GTA IV); PS3 has firmware updatable Blue-Ray player.
I will have all 3 systems.
Wii is played by my 5 year old, and is the only thing I play (given my maximum time investment isn't more than 30 minutes an evening). The cousins play it when visiting, it's great fun. Connected to a 21" Tube in the game room, would like to buy another 32" LCD for it.
XBox 360 is played by my 12 and 15 year old. They waste time "beating" games; I could never sit in a chair that long unless I am working. Connected to a 32" LCD wallmounted in the game room.
PS3 is on order to serve as a Blue Ray player in the living room. Kids can play it only before adults wake up. Connected to 50" Plasma.

still an issue, its the way they place the processor in the 360 itself. It is a very easy fix and im not talking about the towels wrapped around it. That will destroy your unit. If you have one get my email from a mod and i can walk you through fixing one. It will cost you about 15 bux including tools.30 mins of your time.
