 | What should I get
OK guys my parents are going to be getting me a new console for Christmas. Need some opinion. I can either get the Xbox 360 Premium or the Nintendo DS and Wii, or a $500 PS3. Whatever system you choose please leave some feedback. I do have an HDTV so i'd like to get a system that supports HD.

| You double posted... 
Anyway, I wouldn't get the PS3, Wii is cool (can play N64 games, my fav!!!) but Xbox 360 does have Halo, which is pretty popular.

| They all support HDTV's. The Wii won't look as shiny, but IMO it will be the most fun, and new... That's why I voted for it.
If you want to make a "safe" choice, probably the 360. I've honestly always hated the Xbox... Looking at the old ones still makes me sick, but, the 360 is looking slicker and slicker for the gamer who wants the "classic" experience with every passing day... [Since Sony is fumbling...]

| No contest! WIIIIIIII! Zelda launch title plus the good ol classics with the virtual console! If you are getting a PS3, split that money up and get a DS with the Wii as well.

| Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!
It won't support the higher HD, that's hinging on Nintendo, but the GPU it ships with will have enough power to do so. They would just need to offer an adapter and let the developers know to develop for it. It will definately support 480p though.
Anyway, the games the X360 touts are rather passé, and I'm not holding my breath for the PS3 at the momment. I'll need to see it in the wild.
Fun is all I care about, and the current crop of systems are boring, not counting the DS of course. I would take a DS over a X360 any day.

| Kind of odd that you trust Sony's quality, when the PS2 had reliability issues when it was first released and the same goes for the PSP. The Gamecube on the other hand is a very reliable console and had very few isues when it was introduce. The DS has also been really solid and can take quite a bit of abuse. And don't forget the recent Sony world-wide battery recall. But I'm sure their quality control is still better than MS and it first run with the Xbox.
But it's not odd about you being the first vote PS3. Even though $600 isn't ridiculous, it still exceeds most peeps expectations for game console's cost. To top it off, the Wii really looks promising when it comes to fun and something new. Sony and MS are mearly offering enhanced rehashes of what we've been playing for the past 6 years. I'm personally bored with that crap and it's safe to say there are plenty of other peeps in the same boat.

| I'm not even sure you'll be able to buy a PS3 by Christmas time
The Wii looks like it'll be *the* console, but I'm waiting to see how the controller and games pan out.
The X360 is nice hardware but the games suck ***. The only game of note would be Halo2 and thats just for closure on the previous 2!
You could buy a GC, a PS2 and an XBox and lots of games for those instead  | |

| Hah, Sony and quality in the same sentence.
They used to make good products. I was a Sony fanboy.
I don't feel the same anymore. This is not Slashdot, but mark me down for a +5 [LOL ROOTKIT AND BATTERY]

| If you want ultra-polished, check out Red Steel. From what I've seen, it's an X360 lookin' title for Wii, and its exclusive.
For all of you that say "No," Ubisoft revamped ALL the graphics, so look again!

My friend asked me where I preordered mine, because his friend had gone to the Irvine Spectrum to preorder the Wii and the line was out the door.
