OK. My dad said that he'll buy me EITHER a Wii or a PS3 soon if I get 85%or above in all my classes. I'm pretty sure I can manage that, the tough part is choosing between the two.

He said he probably will get me the 40gb, without backwards compatibility, or might get the 60.

And he said if he buys the Wii, he'll also buy me any two games.Most of my friends have Wiis, and are saying that I should get it, to play online. On the other hand, we just got an HD tv, and I want to utilize it.

What would you do?

PS- I posted this before in offtopic, but it got booted.

PSS- The create a poll thing's dissapeared, so yeah.

why no 360? do you already have one?

anyway i'd get the ps3 for sure. at that point you could either keep it if you like the games that are coming out for it or sell it and buy a wii and you'll have money left over for a couple games.

PS3 - it's more expensive.

Save up the smaller amount and buy the Wii on your own dime.

Which one has more games that you're interested in? About online, the Wii's....kinda sucks. It's a bit under developed. That may change in the future, but as of now XBL>PSN>WOL(?)

Now that's a good, real-life recomendation. Take advantage of your father's generosity and get the higher priced item. Then, hope you get the Wii as a present or save for it yourself.

With having the HDTV, you will love the PS3. And your dad will too!!! No BS. Its a great household system. If you haven't seen what PSN offers in the way of downloadables, you need to check it out.

Are you saying that the Wii is on shaky ground whereas the PS3 isn't? Are you joking or as big a fanboy as everybody already thinks you are?

PS3 has a guaranteed 2007 line-up.

Wii is still getting shovelware, and has been selling less and less lately.

OK people thanks a lot for your opinions. From what I've heard, the PS3 is a better option.

Again, thank you.

I'm signing out now, so don't bother posting, unless you have something important to say, in which case I'll read it tomorrow.

Show me figures amigo. The Wii is on top of sales, get over it.

@TC. If you have a PC get a Wii and ask for a bit of cash to upgrade your rig, if you have a 360, get a Wii and a few games. If you don't have any console yet, nor a PC, get a PS3. Simple.

PS3 is more expensive so I'd go with that. The Wii is cheaper so you could always buy your own if you really wanted one (which you don't seem to since you can't decide between them).

What? Speak English (BTW I know what amigo means)

Look at the line-ups. PS3 has less games coming out, but they look more promising. Wii has hundreds of games and 95%% of them are Wiiware
