@Va1entinoZ "150$ for Wii 'cause the only game worth playing on it is Zelda"
I must beg to differ. I don't care how much of a core gamer you are, if you haven't played Super Mario Galaxy, you don't know what you're missing. The Wii is worth buying for that game alone IMO.
Also, I guess that I should revise my original post that started this thread. I originally said that I'd buy a PS3 for $300. I guess that I was mistaken as I bought one for $400 a couple of days ago. My motivations for purchasing the system were as follows:
1) I love both the Rock Band and Guitar Hero series
2) I don't believe that the DLC solution for RB2 and GH:WT on Wii will satisfy me
3) I really want a Blu-ray player
4) PS3 will play DivX files and upscale my vast (2000+) DVD collection
5) I own an HDTV (1080i/720p)
I didn't buy a game with my PS3, which I'll admit felt a bit strange. I bought The Shining and Sleeping Beauty on Blu-ray and pre-ordered GH:WT and LittleBigPlanet. When I got the system home I downloaded Super Stardust HD. I like the system so far but I'm looking forward to getting some real games for it. I don't care for FPS, sports, or racing games too much but in a couple of weeks I'll have some games to keep me occupied for quite some time (GH:WT, RB2, & LBP).
