im in a similar situation only im thinking of getting a PS3 and i own a 360 :P. my advice to is (like it's worth anything) wait a few months for a drop in price, probably on the Elite model or Pro model. but my biggest hurdle that prevents me from getting another game system this far into the generation is that it wont be long before the next line of consoles arrives (probably 2-3 years at most) but i could be wrong. if i am, then just wait for a price cut :PKGB32
You don't have to worry sony already said they will support the PS3 for 10 years and it's still early in this gen PS3 has only been around 2 years.

Anyway, the next price cut is rumored to be in June, so do you want to wait that long?
you dont want a 360, get a Wii and play some games that are actually fun for onceRigga911Wow, a sheep convincing somebody to get the crappy Wii... how original. :roll:
you dont want a 360, get a Wii and play some games that are actually fun for onceRigga911Man that was ignorant. Personally I couldn't disagree more. My Wii was a dust collector but I play my 360 every day I can. I have a PS3 as well but only play occasionally. I'm not dumb enough to take what I enjoy and force it on to you as the only acceptable choice though. Bottom line is it comes down to research. I recommend you look into all three consoles because I'm not you and don't know what your taste in games are. Do you like X console's current game library? What about it's future library? Is X console affordable for you? Are media features important to you? Do you value online gaming? These are all things you should really think about before you slap down your hard earned money.

i have no doubt that Sony will support the PS3 for years, but if a console thats much better than 360,PS3, and Wii comes out within 2 or 3 years, those 400 bucks i spent on another console seems like a not so well thought out purchase.[QUOTE="Rigga911"]you dont want a 360, get a Wii and play some games that are actually fun for oncecrazy-playerWow, a sheep convincing somebody to get the crappy Wii... how original. :roll: Wow, a non-sheep calling the Wii crappy...how original.

[QUOTE="Cherokee_Jack"][QUOTE="crazy-player"] Wow, a user bashing another for correcting an ignorant post.... how original.crazy-playerI'm not the basher here. You were the one who "corrected" the original post with an insult towards the Wii when you could have argued the point more directly. Alright then... the Wii is crappy because it has no games that interest me, has no HD, online is worse than the other systems, and the controller is not used to its fullest in most games, and when done wrong, it's gimmicky.
That's you're own opinion of the game library, and it's by no means a universally-held opinion.
So? When done right, it's great (RE 4: Wii, for example). It isn't the Wii's fault if some devs don't care to use it well.

That's great, you ignored two things bad about it, and only listed one game that used the controller right.[QUOTE="Cherokee_Jack"][QUOTE="crazy-player"] Alright then... the Wii is crappy because it has no games that interest me, has no HD, online is worse than the other systems, and the controller is not used to its fullest in most games, and when done wrong, it's gimmicky.crazy-player

Metroid Prime 3, Okami, Zack and Wiki, Sam and Max, Strong Bad, Trauma Center.

It does make it "crappier", the online is awful, and having no HD is unnacceptable, there has been HD on consoles since last gen and way before that in PC's.your opinions are not fact, the real fact is that the Wii is the best console to have and you should respect Nintendo while doing yourself a big favor by going to buy a Wii for yourself Rigga911That's an opinion, if it was a fact why do I disagree with it and so do many others? I own a Wii for your information, and its collecting dust.
hey guys ive been having an urge of getting a 360. i have a ps3 with over 30 games including COD4 resistance etc. and im really happy with it, but i really want to play halo 3 and both gears of wars along with a few other titles. so do you think its worth getting a 360 at this time period of the gen for games like halo 3 gears and other games that are soon gonna come out for the 360? thanks for any responses.soccer_fan93Yes Gears is awsome and if you like RPGs theres a few good ones. Having a 360 and a PS3 is a good combination and enables you to play alot of good games. If you have the money i recomend you get a Elite because it comes with everything including a HDMI cable, 120 GB HDD and ive seen them for 350 on line.IMO the elite is the best value.

It does make it "crappier", the online is awful, and having no HD is unnacceptable, there has been HD on consoles since last gen and way before that in PC's.The HD is a definite flaw, but the online really doesn't matter all that much. The Wii is a single-player (and local multiplayer) focused console. It doesn't need good online as much as the HD consoles do. I realize that the online is bad and should be rebuilt, but if you want online play, you have lots of other options. I don't see why the Wii has to ape PCs like all the other consoles this gen.
you dont want a 360, get a Wii and play some games that are actually fun for onceRigga911Like what... Wii Boxing? Everything else sucks. Come on everyone lets go play Gears and Resistance

Wow, you got a PS3 with 30 games. That tells me you really like playing video games. So yes, definitely get an Xbox 360, so you can play with more games. The more the merrier.one_on_one
[QUOTE="Rigga911"]you dont want a 360, get a Wii and play some games that are actually fun for oncemitu123Wait, games on 360 aren't fun, that's odd, seeing how I enjoy it more than my Wii.
My nephew bought a Wii and it just sits. He only plays my PS3s, and enjoys it way-way more. Personally I think the Wii is rubbish.
I would get a wii I have a PS3 and my friend got money and she promised me she was going to by me a system so I was deciding between wii and xbox 360 and well most multiplatforms are xbox/PS3 and most xbox games came to the PC so wii was the best option it has alot of games that are not on xbox/PS3 /pc like mario, zelda, metroid.

I can agree with you on that, I use 360 not only for exclusives but multiplatform games as well. I use the Wii for Nintendo and niche games, along with VC. Next up is a PS3 for me.I would get a wii I have a PS3 and my friend got money and she promised me she was going to by me a system so I was deciding between wii and xbox 360 and well most multiplatforms are xbox/PS3 and most xbox games came to the PC so wii was the best option it has alot of games that are not on xbox/PS3 /pc like mario, zelda, metroid.

even if that were true (and it's not), it still has the biggest number of high scoring exclusives out of the consoles.

Yeah, that's true, I enjoyed many exclusives on the 360 as well.[QUOTE="tek91"]I would get a wii I have a PS3 and my friend got money and she promised me she was going to by me a system so I was deciding between wii and xbox 360 and well most multiplatforms are xbox/PS3 and most xbox games came to the PC so wii was the best option it has alot of games that are not on xbox/PS3 /pc like mario, zelda, metroid.
