    Default PS3 and Wii Owners

    Hey guys, I have a question for the Wii and PS3 owners. How well do you like your systems? I'm jsut asking because in a couple of months I'll be getting some spending money and am just wondering how happy you are with the PS3 and the Wii before I spend some hard earned cash.
    If you fine people could lay down the pros and cons of whichever system that you own I would appreciate it.
    Right now I have the 360 but hope to someday have all 3 systems.With the PS3 I may have to wait till the price comes down.

    I just got a PS3. There are barely any games for it and my old game TV does not do it justice. The wireless net needs an upgrade (yuck)

    But playing X on it rocks!!!! The graphics are sooo much better!

    I have my Wii and I'm pleased with it. Swinging the controller around like a retard is a hell of a lot of fun. The graphics aren't that pretty compared to the 360 or PS3, though. It also doesn't do play DVDs or anything. There's a web browser, but odds are you'll never use it. Of course there are the obvious pros, like the virtual console, innovative controller design, price, etc. The Wii already has a couple of pretty awesome games, though neither the Wii or the PS3 have a lot at the moment. Typical, considering how early in their lives it is.

    I have a 360 and I am really impressed with it. But my advice would be to let the PS3 come down in price a before you buy one, plus then there will be games out for it then.

    Pros and Cons for Ps3:

    Pro:
    Resistance: fall of man
    Free online
    Playstation store has cool games & free demos
    Free Internet brower
    Cool games coming out (Lair, Hevenley sword, FFXIII, Devil may cry 4, MGS4 And more that I can't be bothersd to mention now.)
    Cool controler (Yay Sixaxis )
    60GB of memory (good verson)
    Wifi
    Blue ray player
    Plays all Ps1/2 games
    Plays Mp3s
    Plays Dvds
    Cross menu bar is easy to use
    Controller can charge wile you'r playing
    Low "My system is broking" rate

    Cons:
    Controler sometimes disconnects (Not all controllers though. Mines, personnaly, dosen't)
    Some what lack of games
    Typing with controlerl is hard
    Internet is a bit laggy
    Edrick Holmes will hate you for the rest of you'r life
    Downlode times are long
    Mp3s can't play in game
    No rumble in controler (But after a hr. of playing, you don't notice it.)

    And thats all I can think of. I don't own a Wii so I can't comment on that

    PS3 also plays mp3 and can play PS2 games You can even use your old PS2 save files but you have to buy a mem card converter.

    Since you plan on owning all three, your best bet would probably be to get the Wii now since it's a lot cheaper and the short-term outlook is better. The PS3 will get some A list titles, but not for a while. Plus, by that time the price will have dropped, like you said in your first post.

    On my PS3 the PS2 games look great! Better than on PS2.

    The Wii is cool, but there just aren't many good games out for it at the moment. I've played it 3 times in the last 2 weeks, although thats for other reasons that have made me not feel like it.
