So I've had a PS3 since January but I didn't have the free time to set it up until this week.  This is my impression:

Coming out of the box I was impressed.  The thing is glossy and sleek.  Just like a new piece of high-tech equipment should look.  I was impressed by the look and feel of it.  But later that night, once it was set up on my entertainment center I couldn't help but notice the sheer size of it.  It's gigantic.  It dominates the place, it's big, almost too big.   

That being said, it is awesome!  I'm loving Resistance:  Fall of Man .  While I'm not going to say that the PS3 is better than the 360 but I just haven't been interested in powering up the Xbox in a while.  For me, at least for now, there is something more attractive about the PS3.  Get back to me when Halo 3 comes out.

 I also hooked up the Wii this week.  I've had it since December but never hooked it up either.  Don't ask.  I have to say that simply powering up the Wii and going to the Mii channel or the Everybody Votes Channel fills me with glee.  This is a neat machine which is accesible to anyone.  While it may not meet the hardcore gamer requierments, the Wii will certainly make gaming a social, sit-around-the-TV feeling again.  As much as the internet has allowed the growth of multiplayer games, sitting next to your buddy while you play is a feeling that I enjoyed back in the days of the NES.

 In conclusion, both machines are awesome and will find a niche in this generation.  The Wii definately needs to be in everyone's home.  We'll just have to see how things go between the PS3 and Xbox360.  For me there are things about both that is attractive.  Although I have to admit the recent flurry of exclusives leaving the PS3 has me a little concerned.
