Listen to Reactor Worker, he speaks the truth.

My suggestion to you, Mogarf, would be to look at the PS3/360 and decide based on what you want in a system. I owned a 360 but sold it a little later because we got a new HDTV and I wanted the Blue-ray capabilities and the arguably better HD graphics. But I had to sacrafice the broad game seletion. Although, I considered this a good choice because eventually the online costs would have drove the 360's long-term cost considerably high. BUT. If you were to decide between the 360 and Wii I would go forthe 360


Double posting because of the PSP's space constraints. :P

I also own a Wii and I have to say it was fun at first, But got intensly boring later on. It also seems to be designed with the whole family in mind even though most people have trouble getting their family to play any sort of game. So between the two, Xbox takes the cake. But I do think looking into the PS3 too is a must as you are overlooking a range of features and strengths.

I don't recommend the 360. Most shooters on this system are dumb'd down for the console, and most, if not all, are out for the PC. The PC has more power, and can do many things the 360 can't.

Get a Wii if you like classics (you can buy most of them for around 10 dollars, based on how popular it is.

Overall decision: UPGRADE YOUR PC, DAMNIT!

PS3 Little Big Planet

I win

Playing on a PS3 is like playing Call of Duty 4 on your DS.

I rebuke your decision, as Not all can afford to pay $500-$600 to make there PC up to date. I vote Ehbah 3 yiddy(xbox 360), as its cheaper and wont need an upgrade for 2 more years or so.

Well ya, PC is always better, but he asked 360 or Wii.

What.



XBOX 360 (the true price of a console) :

Console $300  Wireless remote, 60GB HDD, headset, cables, etc
Extra Wireless Controller $50
1 year Live service  $50
5 games $300  (assuming typical price of $60/game)
TV   $300-$2000
============
$600+ (more like $800 with a small collection of games and additional controller)

Saying consoles are cheaper is an outright lie.

If you are willing to take the time, you could build your own powerful gaming PC for less than the cost of a console and all of it's accessories and games. Despite what others say, it will not be obsolete in 2 years. There are people today still using 4-6 year old computers comfortably.

The Nintendo DS version received an average score of 76% based on 19 reviews on the review aggregator Game Rankings[10], and an average score of 75 out of 100 based on 22 reviews on Metacritic — indicating "generally favorable reviews."[11]

IGN scored Call of Duty 4's DS version at 7.8/10, praising elements including a surprising level of complexity for the hardware, "impressive sound production all around", fun gameplay, and enjoyable multiplayer. Criticism of the game notes some minor glitches, the absence of an online multiplayer mode, and inconsistencies in damage between different weapons[6]. Gamespot scored the game 7.0/10, praising technical achievements of the engine and audio which "... deliver the true Call of Duty experience". They also criticized the game's controls and lack of online multiplayer, noting "... the DS version doesn't offer any of the online modes that its console counterparts do, which means that your interest in the game will probably wane significantly after you complete that initial play-through."[12]
