Yeah, I'm still laughing my ass off at Sony.
Dumb, dumb, dumb.
The Wii, although it has a weird name, is the best.

The Bluray drive killed the PS3, IMO.

I mean, it adds SO MUCH to the cost..
And for what? So you can make bigger games on one disc? But that is NOT where the industry is trending. It is going toward more episodic games, released more often but smaller. So Bluray was totally unnecessary, and added to the cost.
GOOD JOB SONY.

most definately the reason is the cost of Bluray players people think that since they are so expensive, people are kind of cheated into thinking the PS3 is a good deal because the cost is pretty close between the 2

360 gives you the most for your money. PS3 gives you lots, but for a huge cost. Wii gives you.... not much, but the controller OWNS, so it is the winner.

Here is an annotated comparison of the Wii vs 360 graphics. As you can see, the 360 is better than the Wii. But the Wii is still better, having the CONTROLLER OF GOD.

Yeah, the Wii is affordable and it's graphics (although not as good as Xbox 360s) aren't that bad.
Even if you think the controller is a downside it has Gamecube controller ports.
It finally has wireless connectivity.
It is a HUGE step up from the Gamecube.

yes the gamecube had an awful controller, mostly putrid games (NONE of the good ones that were made for PS2 or Xbox) and.....it....was.....a......f***ing CUBE and i like the new name, Wii, rather than the original, the "Revolution"

Well, I have the opposite out look.
The controller was fine, had plenty of good games (although Xbox and PS2 had some cooler titles), I won't even ask why cubes bother you, AND I think that they should have kept the name Revolution. You can't have a serious conversation about a Wii, plus, Revolution infers that it will revolutionize gaming, and Revolution just sounds cooler.

Yeah, you're not giving the Gamecube enough credit.
After Fri. night though, can't tell if I want a 360 or a revolution.

can't tell if I want a 360 or a revolution. You want a Wii. Seriously. Once you play it you will see its superiority. Go to Target or GameStop or somewhere and play with their display model for a while. Then you'll understand.
