Should I get a PS3 or Wii U?

Dont waste your money on the 12gb PS3, buy one with a hard drive or you will fill that 12 gb in days/weeks.

That's true. I just looked up that it'll only hold a few games. Can one add an external HDD drive? I would be willing to buy an extra one if I end up going the PS3 route.

I know you can change the internal hard-drive to anything you want; you just need a 2.5 inch SATA hard drive (used in most laptops).  I upgraded my 40GB PS3 drive to a 500GB.

This article says the 12GB also supports external storage via USB.

As for which to get: the obvious answer to me seems to be the older system with more, cheaper games (PS3).  But if there's something you desperately want for Wii-U, then go for it.  Personally, I think there'd be plenty to tide you over on PS3 until you got enough money to buy a Wii-U; but it's up to you.
