Should I get a Wii or DS?

[shams]

Don't get me wrong - I'm all for the Wii. But if it comes down to a choice between the systems - get a DS. Its also cheaper, and the games are cheaper.

For the price of a base-model Wii, you can get a DS and a bunch of games.
...

Then again - if you are interested in "social" gaming (having friends come to your place to play games) - get a Wii. Especially if the friends are non-gamers.
