PS: Warning reading this might kill your English. My Grammar Spelling sucks so bad that i......Apologize for it. Just read.!

Hello folks! I am sitting here sweating on deciding which one to choose for christmas this year. Really, i am not so sure about what is worth to get. By the way, i already have Xbox360 so some games that is listed under would be worth my while to purchase for extra content.

If i choose computer i'll get:

Crysis, Unreal Tournament 3, Gears of War, Mass Effect and many great titles.

If i choose Nintendo Wii i'll get:

Super Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3, Super Smash Bros Brawl, Resident Evil UC and many great titles.

What do you guys prefer? Which one is worth wishing for christmas?

Thank you.

Get both. I'd imagine if you can afford a worthy computer you can afford a Wii as well.

Well, doesn't matter how much the machines cost.... It is a matter of games and value.

With computer, i'll have the ability to customize graphics, download mods and enjoy shooter games with mouse&keyboard.

On the Wii side, i could experience the unique innovation controller, and play some good-old nintendo franchises such as Mario and Zelda.

But i see that many choose the PC as the best choice for this year.

Then I guess I'd ask myself how much time I wanted to spend gaming vs. fiddling with drivers and patches.

All you do for drivers is just go to the Nvidia or ATI website and download the most recent driver they have and install it. Then you're done A lot of games come with auto updaters, and at the very least they will direct you to the proper website to download the patch. Then it'll take a whole 2-3 minutes to install the update You act is if you will spend a lot of time messing around with drivers and patches. It's just not true unless you have no idea what you're doing.

I would get a Wii. Why? Because I want SMG so badly, and I'm a RE whore.

The Wii does have some really cool titles, but a PC has many more uses, although if it messes up and you can't play the games on it, then its a huge waste of money.

PC, mainly because it is not just a gaming machine but can also be Your TV/DVD player, music player/radio, access point to the worlds information, calender, phone, pen and paper, calculator, You name it.
And because You may be able to afford a Wii by Yourself afterwards.
Though in terms of fun i would place a Wii above a pc.
Hey it's about what You want not what we want.

If you are prepared to get a very good computer and spend lots of money then get a new computer.

The wii is cheap but there are few good games at the moment, however there is still Super Mario Galaxy coming out next week and some other titles too if you're willing to wait.

I'd say the Wii but I'm not a PC gamer. I'm just not bothered to splash out all that cash and then having to install patches and upgrade stuff. And you don't want to miss out on Mario Galaxy

Get a Wii most of the good PC games are already on X360 (except crysis, though the PC version>>>>>>X360 version). With a wii you'll be able to play SMG. Plus its way cheaper.

God you people are so misinformed. A computer problem you can fix by yourself, but a PS3 or 360 death? You have to send it in and wait a few weeks. Computers are great because you can do everything on them. Not to mention PC exclusives like Crysis, Far Cry 2, Spore, The Witcher and more. Computer is the way to go.
