cant decide which 1 to get. always wanted a ps3. mainly for picture quality when watching movies and the graphics whilst playing games are just imense. ps3 is much more than just a games console
on the other hand the wii is supposed to amazing for the games and have heard every body going on about it.
just wondered what you folks think.

Wii is a lot more fun than a PS3

[TheBoy]

Ignoring for a second that buying a PS3 calls in to question your sexuality...


PS3/Xbox360 if you like the unsociable games where you sit for hours and hours being a miserable bastard.  Good graphics/sounds, though imho, always lacking something in the gameplay

Wii if you like more sociable type games, the sort you can pick up with a few mates after a beer, play for half an hour, take the piss out of everyone, and put it away again.  The capabilities from a graphics point of view are limited, sort of last generation type consoles, but somehow, Nintendo have managed to create a 'fun' element with it.  I would play on a mates Wii to confirm you like that style though.

I have had my Xbox360 around 2yrs, and the Wii around 3 months, and I know which has had the most use.

[TheBoy]

Lastly, I'll add, if I was a 14yr boy who didn't like girls, I'd go for the Xbox/PS, as I'd be sat up in more room all night

We have a PS3 and a Wii the PS3 gets more use.

The boys love Lego Indiana Jones, I like strategy type games

[TheBoy]

I just summized with Mrs TheBoy if we should get a PS3.  Once I explained what it was, she said:

1) Don't be gay
2) We ain't having any more Sony crap in the house


I think she thought I was serious for a minute, you'd of thought she'd know me better

i have a xbox 360 and a Wii.... they can't be compared.

The 360 kicks ass on the graphics front, but no good for partys. The Wii is for fat people who want to get fit, or for lots of druken parties.

PS3/xbox are for geeks who like their games, like GTA4 or COD4  8-)

The PS3 is without question over hyped...i was lucky enough too get one as part of a mobile phone deal.

So mine didnt actually cost me anything.....sold it a few weeks later as couldn t really see a huge difference between ps2 and ps3 games wise (this is on a standard tv.!)

That and the fact it was hardly used...just shoved in a cupboard at work so sold it  

I think anyone who plays a games console is most certainly Gay....real men online  play poker

If you have got young kids you can't go wrong with a Wii, my little ones love it, although they get slightly over excited so moving the furniture is usually a good move

far from it, we use our wii for a multitude of different things...

Me and my stepson are really competitive, we frequently challenge each other to a game or two.
My daughter uses is a lot and it has aided co-ordination
My wife suffers with ME and has found that the yoga has been really helpful in dealing with her illness.
Me i like it because i have to get off my a$$ and actually move instead of vegging out of the couch in order to play the other consoles....

that's the biggest plus point of the wii, you can play it and not feel guilty about it like i do after playing xbox360

[Martin_1962]

Of the games we have I like Motorstorm, Drakes Fortune and Assassins Creed.

I might get Prolgue if I find it cheap enough or wait for the full version. Still play GT4 on hte PS2 though

I'd invite you to the next one Tunnie, but I'm not sure you'd cope too well

[TheBoy]

I lent my XBOX360 to Mrs TB's brother in March, and got it back 2 or 3 weeks later....  ....its still in the bag he brought it back in....

To be honest, I was asking the same question.
I quickly discovered though you can't really do a straight up comparison between ps3/wii.

All the effort on the wii has been put into the movement functions. The actual games & software are secondary to this. Hence all the games I've seen so far on a wii have been dodgy looking "cartoon" graphics.
Even their flagship "wii sports" hasn't got enough space to have figures running about the screen with legs, they just hover around the screen.

As has been said already, the wii is a social console. But if you played it by yourself, it would bore you within the hour. The software is aimed purely at this level so you will never get the breathtaking graphics you get on a ps3.

The Ps3 on the other hand ( yes jamie i'm a sony gaydo ) can be both. you have the motion sense controllers & you have the network play/ 2 player setups. But you also have the "bloody hell" graphics of the software & the sheer versatility of the console. When you buy a ps3 game, the first time you play it, it updates to the most recent software version to repair known glitches etc.
Plus a little known fact is that a dual layer dvd has about 7-8 GB on it. A Ps3 blueray disc has about 60GB on it.

Go sony m8, you know ya wanna

PS
Ask any ps3 owner about the joy of Call of duty 4 online. Its playing soldiers for grown ups - well big kids anyway
