First of all, you have to ask yourself what type of games you like to play. If you want Nintendo franchises, casual fare, or different experiences -- then you should get a Wii.

I would echo what others have said that one way to finance this would be to sell one of your current consoles. I would suggest the PS3 -- do this after you have finished MGS3.

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

Yeah, um.... save your $250 for something else.

If you already have a PS360 and you hardly have time for them as it is, then your Wii would quickly become a very expensive dust-collector. The only thing that's been keeping my Wii in regular use over the past couple of months is the VC/WiiWare.

This isn't like the PS1/N64 days, where both systems had a completely different lineup of AAA titles and you were really missing out if you didn't own both... if party games and "casual" games aren't your thing, then you're not missing out on much. Nintendo has all but abandoned the hardcore market in favor of their newfound casual market.

Maybe when games like The Conduit, Madworld, etc hit I could recommend you get a Wii, but not now.

Epic post is epic.

Everyone needs to get a Wii! It is just the best. Don't bother with hd-gamez, they aren't even fun!

I ain't convincing you to buy anything. Because if you buy anything that isn't your own decision and end up not liking it then the incessant bitching about how much you hate it won't ever end. Especially if you have been critical of it earlier.

If you want it, save up $250 and enough for a game and buy it. If ya don't then don't waste your money. It's realy as simple as that.
