Playstation 3 or Xbox 360. Give good reasons. I'm buying 1 of them. EDIT: Xbox 360 (Pro) or PS3 (Slim)

Price for the system doesn't matter.

Tsalm : Well, to some of us fun is helping a remote 'get off', so for them, the Wii is the best console ever. For those people that want to kill everyone shooting lightning from their hands, they stick to the PS3. Pretty much. I just don't enjoy the Wiimote and shovelware that comes along with the Wii. PS3 is probably a better choice out of the 2 in the poll. One time payment of 300 bucks plus any controllers you need and you're set. No payments for online, and you get access to Playstation Home which lately has gotten really amazing. What do you get with Xbox Live? Angry 12 year olds, Ads showing up (BUT YOU'RE PAYING?), and the risk of your system crapping out on you.

I think the only reason that xbox360 has a bigger online communtity is because of the price of the old ps3. i know alot of people who were waiting for the price drop on the ps3.

UglierBetty : Hmm. You can't kill people on the Wii? I have Mortal Kombat Armageddon for Wii, and you pull peoples heads off in a fountain of blood for the finishers. Just a reminder, this thread isn't Wii Vs. PS3. For the people who want to kill everyone with lightning, just buy an Xbox360, not PS3, Xbob360>PS3. Hands Down. MK....if you enjoy that...K. And Mad World is one of the few good Violent games. I have no problem with the Wii, but when comparing it to the 360 or PS3, its like comparing socks with apples and oranges. And if you aren't aware, Killing people with lightning refers to Infamous, which is a PS3 exclusive And while you spend your time crying over your RRoD'd 360, I'll be watching a movie in Blu-Ray and loling.

Owwwww my arm hurts from playing tennis with the wiimote, I'm going to go eat 10lbs of ice cream to feel better. You don't NEED a wiimote to play wii. Most game work with the classic GCN controllers. Live is better.

yeah. dont ever get a wii ever. i bought it when they had a shortage of wii. played it for a week, realized it was crap, and sold on ebay for 50$ more. i almost got a 360 instead of ps3 tho cuz it was about 100 bux cheaper and it looked more stylish, but i decided to buy a ps3 cuz i keep hearing from my friends that their 360 got bricked or w/e and i really wanted to play metal gear solid 4.

Here's something to take a look at before you buy a Xbox 360 http://www.gamespot.com/news/6215590.html

bladegg : Then wii loses the only special thing it has over the other 2 console, its just another gamecube. Wtf, you can't just complain about the wiimote, and then say that. What about the balance board? That's not a wiimote. Or are you too lazy to get up and stand. The wii has many online features, the graphics are better than the game cube as well, as are the games.

I weigh 150 pounds for crying out loud. I don't even play a lot of online games and I would prefer the PS3. Online is online, and I rather get it free especially if I wouldn't play it a lot. I know Wii doesn't require the use of the motion control to play most games, but they parade the hell out of that feature. All systems are good, and I can accept that unlike you. People have preferences and what is best for their interests, and PS3 is what I prefer. Now I suggest you take your biased craptalk and leave.

Wii is the worst out of the three next gen consoles, no point in even trying to defend it. For most people, including me, the Wii has been collecting dust since 3 days after they bought it. With 360 you have to pay for internet access? Only for what? A buncha 10 year olds screaming into their headsets about "HEADSHOT@@@". And yes, I have seen some 10 year olds playing Halo screaming into the Mic. And when their friend who is playing in the same room as them shoots them from behind, the kid that got shot, in the most immature act I've ever seen starts tea-bagging the other kid to get back at him. WTH? 360 = Worst community, worst games, and worst company. And guess what you're paying for it! Yearly! I don't need to give you the Pros about getting the PS3 because several people already posted it.
