Is the PS3 worth the money or should I just go with the WII

Assuming you already have an XBOX 360, I'd go with the Wii. The PS3 has had the weakest release slate in terms of games that I've ever seen. It's been out for over 6 months and there's not even one game you could say is its "cornerstone".
The Wii has so much potential for repeat gameplay. Your arms will be sore because you'll be having too much fun to listen to your body's signs of fatigue. And, at half the price, you'll have that much more cash to buy accessories and games. Buy yourself a Game Pass from Blockbuster and work through their library for one flat monthly fee. Rest frequently.
Id have said yes if they hadnt forced the blu ray player and jacked the system cost another few hundy because of it. PS3 would have KILLED if they hadnt done that.

With the money to buy a PS3, you can get a Wii and a 360 (something that people have called Wii 360) since PS3 is twice more expensive.
You can get everything but the blue ray in both of those consoles, plus you get a lot of games with the Wii and 360 and definitely a lot more of fun with your Wii...and if you think the 360 ir more for you...then you can ship your Wii to me and I'll play for you. :rolleyes:

We have a 360 already. Im leaning towards the WII more because of the price.

Wii is a cool thing to play with your friends. But I just couldn't see myself standing up and being animated to play when I'm by myself being lazy.
PS3, if you have full HD and such, is incredible. Plus, I actually love having the blu-ray DVD player with it. Everything is way better in HD, and although is costs more, it's still way less than a full blu-ray player (I believe the cheapest is $800).
I love PS3, but you probably can't go wrong either way.

If you already have a Xbox360 then there's no point in getting a Playstation 3. Get the Wii and never look back.
If you dont have any of them, go with the 360 premium bundle.
If you have a 360 already, get a Wii, its actually pretty fun.
If you have a Wiii AND a 360, take your ps3 money and buy a whore for the night:salut:

get a Wii
we have a 360 and played a Wii for the first time on super bowl sunday, but it was on a 120 inch TV, and we went looking for one that night. gives you a work out and it's fun to play.
from the games i've seen for PS3, they dont' have any "fantastic" games. with the Wii and a game card you can download games off the net, we downloaded Super Mario and are after Pac Man for my mom. the games are fun, the one it comes with is a mulitple game in one disc, which is fun.
definately get a Wii, it's less expensive and you are bound to have more fun with it, and the games are more cost effective

True they are, 360 is my brothers. In December Im going to Arizona for school. So, I don't know I will probably get the WII but if the PS3 goes down I wouldn't be surprised if I get that

1080p!
I have a ps3, a 360 and soon will have to buy my girlfriend a wii.
But if your into watching movies in hd theres nothing better than 1080p and ps3. Its true hd and looks great. Forget the videogame part of it. anyone whospends a few grand on a 1080 p tv and then doesnt get a player that plays 1080p is quite foolish. Especially when you consider ps3 is the cheapest blueray player on the market its a no brainer. And back to the video game part. the games will come...they are already on there way.

I wont touch a PS3 until there is only one format for the high def DVD's, or the players become cross-compatible (or whatever). What if the other format wins out and Blue-ray goes the way of DIVX? The you have an expensive ass blue-ray dvd player with an extreemly limited number of movies to watch.

My girlfriend wouldn't appreciate that. I have a Wii and a 360, and MLB The Show on PS3 is making me start contemplating getting a PS3.
1080p!

I have a 1080p TV, and that is the only reason why I would get a PS3.

I dont know if mine is 1080p or whatever that is, but I know my ps3 on my
52" sony wega with 3dlp is badarse! Nothing like flinching on Motor Storm as a glob of mud hits the "screen" and watching it dribble off.

so what you are saying is no matter what high end system I get, if I don't replace my 1992 Toshiba flat screen tube tv it will still look like crap :mad::mad:
I have a PS3 and a Wii, my roommate has a 360. I have never touched the 360 and probably never will. PS3 is great if you're into HD and indepth games. Wii is great with friends and for downloading old school games. I play more old school games that I've downloaded then anything else. F-Zero never gets boring! It all depends on who you will be playing with and what type of games you like. If you are wanting sports games, i would go with PS3 (not much out yet as far as games though).
I have MLB '07, NBA '07, Madden '07, and Tiger woods '07 on PS3. I also rented Tiger Woods on Wii. It was no contest as far as graphics, but the gameplay of the Wii was fun.
Hard to say, but i would give up my Wii before I would give up my PS3

i hate the xbox systems.
i hate animated games, wii.
no doubt, ps3 is the better of the 3. yea you will spend 600, but if you get bored with games, you can enjoy 1080 movies.
and ps3 may not have a ton of releases right now, but they will, i mean its playstation, its a no brainer
