I have been an avid gamer for more than 10 years, starting with Sega Genesis and working up to the Xbox 360. I have had to sell my 360 as I am gone to Afghanistan for the nest 6 months, but when I get back I want to buy a system and a ton of games cause I will have a month off from the Army to chill and do nothing basically. What should I get? 360, PS3, Wii or build a PC? I want a system that will offer the best combination of online gaming and gameplay? I throw PC in the mix because if I build one I get Starcraft 2 and 10 years of games unknown to me since I have never really played a PC only game. What do you guys think will be the best bet for the this generation of systems? Also, please list the games that back your reasoning so I can look them up and find the best titles for my tastes.

Depends on what games comming out this holiday season interest you. I'd go with either 360 or Wii.

first off i would go with a PS3, sony has this year and the next 2 years locked down after that a xbox 360, but dont go with a Wii i havent even heard of many games coming out for it that are actually good. The reason why i say the PS3 though because Killzone 2, Warhawk, Haze, MGS4,GT5,Unincharted,Rachet and Clank, Dirt, Heavenly Sword,Infamous,Lair,and a bunch of other exculsives will be coming out.

Either a nice PC (for Crysis), or get a 360. The 360's Holiday line up is the best of the three consoles.

If you can get a top of the line one, get a PC! Loads of great games already out, great online, a fair amount of the 360's games coming to it aswell. And, of course, Crysis!

EDIT: List of PC games - Medieval 2: Total War, Oblivion, Crysis, Gears of War (soon), Dawn of War, Neverwinter Nights, Bioshock, The Witcher, Hellgate: London, The Sims, World of Warcraft, Supreme Commander, Unreal Tournament 3, Fallout 3, etc.

I also own a 360, and can highly recommend that.

360 has the best games in my opinion (the owner of all 3 consoles). Get that.
