    ok where do i start? got both 360 n ps3
    let me explain to all here what are we talking about? games so the console is nothing wothout it right? multiple platforms aside ps3 has so many exclusives like crazy
    GameSpot ratings:
    little big planet-9
    Uncharted 2-9.6
    Resistance 2-9
    Gran Turisom - coming soon
    inFamous - 9
    Killzone 2 - 9
    MotorSport - 9
    and so many more coming such as agent....
    ps3 is so open to everything its got so much capacity to grow more yet 360 is at its max!
    look honestly ps3 is better!
    graphics are better on 360? only if ur eyes could zoom in 10x which is exaggeration of detail common...
    anyways 360 modded just kills the lot hahaha free games is the best thing in the world while online just play the originals :D ONLY connect while playing online original games :D to be honest if im gonna buy i a game i will buy it for ps3 due to free online and its not as bad as ppl make it sound its LOVE!

    Wii's Okami is excellent, even though it hurts not being presented in HD.
    For me, PSP rules the world (3000 or Go!), then PS3, then XBOX then Wii... but I personally think the Steam platform is the best thing out there, and PC exclusive, naturally.

    Ivan I see where ur coming from with ps3 value and i am a xbox owner. yeah the ps3 has its advantages in value but when u buy the extras for xbox both are pretty much the same. anyway i was writting to agree with ur comments on the wii couldnt agree more mate, piece of crap for 6 year old children. and yeah i would get the ps2 anyday over that.

    Oh yeah, and the wii has the virtual console service where you can download all of the classic games from past consoles that are not even made by nintendo! And wii-ware is an affordable yet easy to use online service and has a great many games, like World of Goo.

    Ivan_PSP, I've just bought a PS3 so I'm joining your club Ivan, I'm not getting the tattoo that you have no matter what. The Wii is simply a brilliant piece of engineering that, despite it bing akin technology wise to a moped, it's the one everyone is talking about and playing. It's Nintendo Genius, again. It's all about the gameplay Ivan, the sales say it all.

    Does the xbox 360 or the ps3 have an interactive and enthralling experience that is friendly with all kinds of gamers? No! can you play ALL of your old games on the 360? Is there proper motion control from those 'other' consoles? Games anyone can play and pick up with ease? Free internet? Do the other consoles have any games besides the yearly GTA's, COD's and other first person shooters. The wii has all of these, and at an affordable price. Mario galaxy and twilight princess alone are a reason to buy and treasure this console. In fact, if it wasn't for nintendo, sony would have been thrashed by microsoft in 2005-2006.

    And who said that the graphics were bad. Despite the cartoony look of some games, nintendo have mastered the art of making the most of the wii with amazing looking games like LoZ-TP, and mario galaxy.

    I do agree though, the 3rd party developers who think that this console is only for lame pary games and rip-offs of nintendogs must be caught and destroyed.

    Good wii games:

    Mario galaxy
    twilight princess
    mario kart wii
    brawl
    nsmb wii
    animal crossing wii
    mysims
    World of Goo
    Wii sports resort

    PS3 is the clear choice...

    Lets also mention how much 360 breaks down and is a cheaply made piece of crap.

    If you want a home entertainment system that does a bit of everything from HD TV viewing and capture to Bluray and DVD to Gaming and more, then get a PS3.
    If your only interest is game play both arcade and unique over graphics then go the Wii.

    and don't worry about Xbox!
