Hi, I'm new. I have been looking at this site since July of this year, I never wanted to make an account because all I cared about was sales. This will be my first forum ever. I looked at threads and they seem rather funny and some are good. At times it makes me want to post. But today I chose to start posting 8)

Okay I recently purchased a Xbox 360. And I have bought Halo 3, Mass Effect and Call of Duty....I bought the Holiday bundle with Forza 2 and Marvel Ultimate Alliance included....Now I'm looking at getting either a Wii or PS3. Which one should I get? Which is popular...I like the PS3 because I want Final Fantasy XIII but its not out yet. I like the Wii cause its rather cheap and its $250. I like RPG's, Action Shooters and many others. But I like how the Wii uses the motion sensing....IDK??

Whats a good system this holiday season?

this holiday season it would be a wii for me.

PS3

Hello and welcome to the 9th egg shaped ring of hell.

If you have a 360 already, then you have like 95% of anything the PS3 is going to offer. Where as you have maybe 50% of what the Wii is going to offer. So to best compliment your 'hardcore' gaming on the 360 I would get the Wii.

Now let the flaming begin!!!

*gulp* This will cause a flamewar of doom proportions.

Write down the list of Wii or PS3 exclusives you want RIGHT NOW. That is, the exclusives that you could buy, in stores, by the end of the year. If money is no object to you then buy whichever system has more exclusives.

Action shooters: Uncharted and Ratchet (I assume that's what you mean)
if you like the motion sensing then buy a Wii, it all comes down to personal preference. If you have an HDTV and intent to watch films, then of course get a PS3, but the 360 will cover most of your "hardcore" gaming needs, and the Wii the more casual side, so you will have all your bases covered there. As far as I know, there are not a huge amount of RPGs coming to 360/Wii, although a new Wii was just announced. Personally, I would advise the PS3, because I have one and love it, and of course you are guarenteed to get one

wii
if FF 13 is what you want wait till next christmas for that, cause it will most likely be early 09 before the earliest release of FF.

Wii all great games are out and SSBB comes out in feb

PS3 hands down. Wii has innovative controls over old technology and very few games I would like to play. But it's your money so choose wisely.

EDIT: duplicate post :(

If you really can't decide get a DS and/or PSP and some games.
