It depends both are great deals. If you have the games you want for those systems then it is easily a great deal to be worth it.

Well, you've got to take some things into consideration, obviously, and since they're similar in price now, fortunately that's not one of them.

First of all, and probably the most obvious one, are you normally a fan of Nintendo's games? If you're a fan of the core franchises, then the Wii's a good choice.

Do you see yourself playing locally with people more often than not? If so, then the Wii's also a good choice.

Are graphics important to you? If yes, go with the PS3; if not, then you should still look at the game selection for both consoles before making a decision (the graphics in most of the Wii's top games are still good, just not really in the same league as most of the PS3's library)

Do you have an HDTV? If you do, then a PS3 might be the better choice, since the Wii's more suited to lower resolutions. The fact that the PS3's also a Blu-Ray player doesn't hurt, either...

If you're more of a fan of playing online, then the PS3's probably a better choice.

So anyway, to sum it up, get a Wii if you're a fan of Ninendo's games and local multiplayer games. Get a PS3 if graphics and online mutliplayer are important to you, and also probably if you have an HDTV

Keep in mind, if you don't like the games a console has, then it's worthless to you no matter which one it is, so be sure to research what's out there for both consoles before you make a decision.

Hope that helps.

Guess it really depends on your taste. I have both a PS3 and a Wii and IMO the Wii is leagues better than the PS3.... of course Im one of the few that actually tried to get the best out of my Wii.

Uhh... an HD console with Blu-Ray, dedicated servers, complete online service, this generation's only 10.0 exclusive, controllers with built-in rechargeable batteries, surround sound, etc - versus a Gamecube with waggle? Really? - The PS3 is a great deal, the Wii at $250 is an utter ripoff. If the Wii was $150 or so, it would be fairly price. As is, it's far too expensive for the quality of hardware being offered. Note - I don't have a problem paying $50 for a quality *game* on the Wii, paying $50 for Mario Galaxy or Metroid Prime Trilogy would be fine with me - but paying that much for hardware that is simply not that expensive, powerful, or feature-laden? A complete ripoff.

It ultimately depends on your gaming tastes.

But you also have to weigh in if you have a gaming PC.

In short, if you have a gaming PC, get the Wii, if you don't, get the PS3.

This is a mean topic.. Sure it's fun and games when it's the PS3 vs 360. But why anyone would pick a Wii over a PS3 at thier current prices makes no sense at all!

No it does make sense. Maybe the Wiis stellar exclusives will make someone want to buy it? Some people have different taste than others. Use your head and you'll figure out that it makes absolute perfect sense.

Essentially the PS3 is far superior in hard numbers but this is more of a taste thing. I tell you to buy a PS3 even if essentially the entire library out and upcoming does nothing for me besides the last guardian and uncharted 2.

I don't think there is a real answer, both have great games. If I bought one, I would need the other. Get both.:P Or jack up your PC and get the Wii.

Okay thanks for that insightful input. Basically you just said, "oh my opinion is the only one that's right because it's MINE! PERIOD! END OF DISCUSSION! My opinion is right and yours is wrong based on the fact that I'M RIGHT!"

Oh but I know nothing about video games because my opinion is different than yours.

I like the Wii and all, but PS3 is easily the better choice. Superior gaming experience, as well as Blu-ray. Again, I'm not dissing the Wii, because I do love it, but PS3 wins as far as value.

You're right. The Wii cost $160 to make a launch, it probably cost less than $100 now and you're spending $249.99 it. The Wii hardware is a rip off, it's the games that make it good imo.

that all depends on how one would define the value of a system. most here judge it on the parts its made of, a fools way of judging value but to each his own. i judge systems based on their utility, and the wii gets the most use, as a console, and it has the most games i want, on the consoles. others, mostly non-pc gamers need something like the ps3 for multiplats and will see it as having more utility then the wii.

True that. But to be honest, I would totally pay $300 just to play Super Mario Galaxy.
