Purchasing PS3 or Wii, opinions ta!

Right, so, should I get a PS3 or a Wii?

The Wii looks like a ton of fun, but I don't know how quickly I'd bore of it!

The PS3 looks amazing, but it's HUGE and stupidly expensive!

(Oh, has anyone seen the youTube parody of this argument btw? Funniest thing I've seen in a while!

)

Yeah, I'm pretty sure he's got some in stock, it's in Sheffield though! Lol!

Hmmmmm, how much of a staff discount are we talking? If it's more than the postage then i'm sure we can sort something out.

I'm not sure, I'll have a word and let you know!

Because it's an exchange shop the majority of them are second-hand, but in A+ condition, so they're cheaper than normal anyway!

Where abouts are you!?

the wii is prolly the best choice i have one finally and the graphics are amazing and the game play is too i would say buy the wii now if u can find one and get the ps3 when its cheeper

I wouldnt call the graphics amazing, a lot of the wii game developers aren't using the full power of the console though, the wii can easily beat a ps2 into the ground, although it's nowhere near as powerful as the ps3. The wii cannot support HDTV format either, which limits the graphical capability.

I've got a wii (sorry cap!) & I have to say it is one of the best consoles around. I have to admit to a bias towards Nintendo but it is DEF worth the money if you can find one.
There is a good mix of styles/genres to occupy everyone.
The only downside ( & it is a small one) is that the controls are difficult to get used to and sometimes do things you dont want...but it all adds to the fun!!
Happy hunting!!

My pet name for my Girlfriend in Moomin!

(She used to get called it at School because she was a tad podgy, I thought that was brilliant and have been calling her it ever since!)

i think you shoulsd get a wii as not only are there great games coming out for it every month but you control almost everything on the games and it is great excersise if you cant be bothered to get up off of your but and go for a walk.

Havent had much chance to play it as i have an exam saturday, but as soon as i get back from that i'm playing it for the rest of my life.
