ps3 because there is a novelty factor with the wii and when thats worn off theres nothing left but with the ps3 theres blu ray and lots more also wii is more fun as a 2 player where as if your on your own the ps3 is all good

wii, as everyone who buys playstations are bias towards them, dont ask me why they just are. i own a 360 and a wii and in my eyes the 360 is quality and is now starting to get quality games behind it. and zelda on the wii is awesome.

wii is the fastest selling console world wide at the moment even out doing ps3 in japan. people need to give it more credit as it is an awesome machine. and its a good way to keep fit.

ive got wii mate . my bird bought it for my birthday and think its brillant . but its a completey differnt thing to a PS3 or 360 i think . the wii is more a moving and jumping round the living room console where as the others are more gaming consoles if you know what i mean . after most of my mates have had a go on the wii they have then went on the search for a wii.

ive got a ps3 so that would be my choice, but a wii would work out quite a bit cheaper, and tbh, ive had a go of my mates, and they are fun.

Ive got both

both have their good and bad points, cant choose between them.

rather pissed off that Motorstorm for the PS3 is only a 1 player unless you hook upto the internet then you can get 12 people, so thats a bad point

the Wii has the godfather witch is the gta for the wii. its a massive game!!

I've got a Wii, different sort of games - more fun (imo)

Got fed up with all the first-person-shooter & tactical stuff the others have coming out of their ears.

For around the same price can you not buy a Wii and a 360 for the price of a PS3 ?

put it this way...

billy no mates play on your own with good graphics, staying up til silly o'clock playing some shoot em up

or

having your mates round, having upto 4 people playing at the same time (room size permitting with some games, like Tennis), getting blathered, having social interaction and having a laugh?

For me, option 2 every time

Obviously, muppet roomers pick option 1, as they dont ever go out

Got both. Had never ever turned ON to play a game on the PS3!!!!!!! never use my XBOX360 either.

The Wii gets used alot when I have friends around. Great laugh

The best party game out there is STILL Guitar Hero 1 & 2 on the old PS2 though. I play that more than anything when people come around.

Sean and his mechanics stayed last weekend at mine and LOVED it.... Renton stayed this weekend and LOVED it... never met anyone who hasn't loved it! soooo much fun and sooo satifying when you get it right!!!

May order a WII later for the boy. Argos seems the cheapest at the moment!

Does it come with two controllers ?

Is there anything else I need I should at the same time for it ?

Dannn, comes with one controller and one nunchuck. Order Wii play as that comes with an extra controller. Works out that you get Wii play for tenner then... you need another nunchuck as well.
