If you're interested in Viva Pinata, get it. Seriouisly, that is one of the most engrossing games I've played in awhile. I'm 25 hours in and still don't have some of the stubborn pinatas. It's one of the most underrated games I've seen in quite some time. People call it a "kids game" but it's far more in-depth than that. It's a great game to kill time with and enjoy it. On top of that, you have the rest of the 360 lineup. If you don't buy Dead Rising, you're really shorting yourself. Then there's Gears, Rainbow, SC, GRAW, etc. In short, if you want to game, the 360 is a great route. The Wii doesn't suck either but it's an entirely different gaming experience. Less single player, more group activity.
