I started as a long tried and true PC game, but the Wii won me over.

Then I got a HD TV and the Wii lost it's appeal with all the blockiness. Then long debate over the Xbox 360 and the PS3. I had played on both the original Xbox and the PS1 and PS2. Because of Kinect I chose the X360.

Now I have all sort of video apps, movement/dance, party games, and an awesome like of hard core games. I think I made the best decision.

Did you try the HD cable, its not going to look as good as the PS360 or even a hooked up laptop, but it does help ALOT

Yes, even my old CRT style TV had RGB inputs so I got the upgraded cable.  I actually have a converter one, so with just a little switch is is a video only or HD depending on the TV (great when you bring it to people's houses.) 

It does help.  I notice colours were brighter and clearer, but it just wasn't good enough - I still felt like I was missing something.  If the HD WiiU had come out in 2010 - I would have probably just upgraded to that, and not gotten one of the HD Twins. 

But after the first day with my Xbox 360 - playing Reach in HD with my 5.1 sound - watching streaming trailers for BioShock Unlimited in HD.  It was clear I had move into a new world. 

Some of my PS3/Wii friends started getting X360's too.  Now they all have them.

EDIT:  PS I was thinking of getting a PS3 one day and giving my folks my Blu-ray, but the latest Super Slip PS3 and some of the bonehead decisions - such as a door loading system - which I don't have room to access - has killed that plan.  Now I will just be getting a Next Gen, and unless something profoundly amazing from Sony, a Next Box.
