What genres do you play the most?

How much do you online game?

Though admittidly the buy a wii they sell it on ebay for more if you don't like it thing does sound like a good idea if your into that sort of thing.  Considering how high in demand the Wii still is if you change your mind you could likely sell it back to pick up the PS3.

The PS3 likely will get a pricecut by the time you save up for one if you get a wii. So if you are going multi-console it'd make sense to get the wii not since it'll drop in price less.  However it sounds like you are going single console in which case i'm not sure really.

It depends on those first two questions.

 Dont listen to Leo, he is an tard.

 The Wii is fast becoming a great console as is the PS3. The PS3 is starting to deliver on it's promises of great titles. Warhawk for example is awesome, while Lair isnt, but Heavenly Sword is awesome too. 

Get both if you can eventually afford both. Probably better so you can get the best of both worlds if you want it.  

judging by your description of your experience with the wii you aren't gonna be dissapointed if you buy one. Just buy a Wii now and wait for the PS3 to drop in price or something, by that time it will have more games too.

have you actually played the ps3? maybe if you try it out at a friend's place, you'll be better informed and now you can directly compare your experience on the wii and the ps3.

Buy a Wii now, it won't drop its price for another year.

The PS3, however, will probably be $100 less atleast by next year.

Here's the honest truth:

The PS3 has a very solid system, and games are coming, but very few are here NOW, and relatively few are coming before 2008. (Well, there will be a decent number of multiplatform releases, so if you don't have a 360, the PS3 has more appeal than if you do.)

If it is very important for you to be playing LittleBigPlanet of MGS4 as soon as they come out, and if you can't get another $500 saved up by then, I guess you need to hang onto your cash.

However, if you are willing to give that up for a little while in return for playing many great games in 2007, go for that Wii -- if you can still find it.

Wow... replies. I didn't mean to take off after that post, but I had some things to take care of. Quite a bit to read in here, but a lot is ringing in.

The thing is, I grew up on the PS2, so the PS3 just seems like a logical next step. The system is marketed pretty good too, with the whole media thing in one package is great.. one unit on my flat panel to play movies and play games. It sounds really cool. But there is some really good points here with the cost thing that I haven't really thought about. After I bought my PS3, I'd have motorstorm and that's about it. I could afford a new game probably every other month, with some rentals scattered around. With the Wii I could get a few of the fun games right off the bat.

It's a tough decision because I'm already set on the PS3, but now I don't quite know why because there doesn't seem to be any stand out titles like on wii.

Good things about PS3 I'm thinking about: DVD player / PS2 compat / 2008 lineup will most likely be a lot better than now.
Good things about wii: It was a lot of fun, but I'd need to keep my PS2 and get a DVD player too.

I think I'm going to keep saving and think about this a bit more.

Great nfo here, thx

If you want PS2 compat, get a 60gb version and update the firmware. Otherwise, games = look like poo on HD. But they do save to your hard drive, and you can get something to port your old save data if you don't feel like starting every game over.

I would caution, I don't believe they've fixed the lack of Guitar Hero 2 working problem as of yet, or they did long ago and I've missed it. So if that was part of your scheme, keep your ps2, which is also a DVD player?

 QFT?

The PS3 will deliver soon has been an interesting Rally cry, much like the Wii is a fad. Been going on for a while.

Of course, the PS3 will deliver, because it really really needs to.
