If you had one of each guaranteed, I'd take the PS3. I'd then sell it on ebay or somewhere for a proverbial "fat sack o' cash", then buy a Wii.

Buy a Wii for now, and wait for the PS3 to go down a bit in price, and than buy the ps3. Or u can buy the ps3 now, sell it, use the profit to buy a Wii.

Madzorzs is right. I should know. I'm camping at Walmart in Saratoga for 42 hours for the Wii. I did it last year for the 360.

Xbox360+Wii > PS3 (and cheaper than a PS3)

I don't think camping out for a Wii is gonna be necessary. Nintendo is normally on point when it comes to release day consoles. At least I'm hoping it stays that way. I can't go up early to camp out at the 24 hour Wal-Mart the day before. My niece is turning 1 on the 18th, then after the party, I gotta watch UFC. I'll try my luck after thats done. If not, I'll just go hang out somewhere outside a different store for a few hours until they open. I'm hoping I don't have to though.

First off, there will be a lot more Wiis out there than PS3s. North America recieved the largest allocation of Wiis. (Something like 4 million will be available by the end of the year where the PS3 isn't expected to hit that mark until March 'o7.)

Should of got the PS3. You will more than likely double what you paid for it selling it on eBay because little Billy wants one for X-Mas. Its going to be amazing to see just how much those fools are going to sell the PS3 for on eBay. You could have gotten a CF Hood, CF Rear Garnish, etc...

About the PS3 being more expensive than the Xbox 360? They are the same price. How? Read on... The PS3 will be able to play Blu-Ray Discs straight-out-of-the-box. Does the Xbox 360 play HD-DVDs straight-out-the-box? No. you have to spend another $200 to get the HD-DVD Player. That makes the 360s the same price as the 2 models of the PS3. That's if you even want the HD-DVD Player. If not, then 'yes' the 360 is cheaper.

Pointless because MGS4 doesn't come out for a year? You must be smoking crack. A lot of consloes have launched with mostly mediocore games. The PS3 has probably the best line-up of games for a console that has ever launched. Since the 360 has had a year head start, Sony has to step up to the plate and deliver some really nice games. Will they hit a home run or strike out? We'll see.

As for me? I'm hoping to get my PS3 on Friday. If I don't, no biggie. I just bought a house so I can wait until next year to buy a PS3.

Well, since you plan to get both eventually, i'd suggest the wii for now. Its much more cheaper and theres more favorable titles to choose from..altho the only one i'm currently playing is zelda. PS3 will have a strong lineup of games further into 2007, but by then, you should be able to pick up a system up in a store without much waiting.
