    Default PS2,Wii or 360?

    I am getting around 125 next week. Do you guys think I should buy a PS2, wait a month a get a 360, or wait like 2-3 months and get a Wii? Or a new PC, because god knows I love me some sims 2, and I want to get into warcraft.

    Wow! 125 must buy a lot more where you live than in the rest of the country. Sure you could cover the cost of a ps2, but that's about it.

    I would also wait for the 360 with the Wii running a very close second. Very close.

    If you love the Sims 2 that much, then why don't you marry it?

    I'm getting a very PC vibe about you, shadow.

    I have a 360 and a Wii, and I cast my vote for the 360.

    If you can wait for Spring, likely a 360 price drop will be coming, so that could help you out. I'm guessing the Wii will be $199.99 by next September, but that's a long wait.

    If you are going to buy a console I would buy a slim model Playstation 2. It is the best deal. Especially if you are tight on cash.

    A slim model Playstation 2 comes internet ready with free online gaming out of the box.

    Games are very cheap and you can pick up titles online for 10 dollars or less if you shop right. Plus we are in the middle of a generation shift and there are tons of games going on sale at retailers. Regardless of this, the Playstation 2 is still seeing new releases with great games coming out well into 2007.

    Seeing as how 60% of the games currently on the 360 can also be played on the Playstation 2 with no loss in gameplay, I can't recommend going the Xbox 360 route for your situation.

    From a cost/functionality standpoint the Playstation 2 really is the best "bang for your buck" deal.

    I wouldn't recommend a PStwo, the system is dying. Take a look at the releases in 2007, not much.

    Xbox 360 is a great system, you may want a warranty however.

    I would say get a 360 or Wii depending on which type of games you like.

    PS2 systems will drop further as the new generation of systems take hold of the market, you'll be able to pick up a ps2 cheaper later on.

    So? Look at the releases before 2007. Lots of games to buy if he hasn't already played them.

    Default PC...

    It depends on how much of an upgrade you can get to your PC. If you can get to a point where you can play current games at a decent clip I'd go with that, though you can't go wrong with a 360. While many see the PS2 as dead we must remember that God of War II is coming and will likely gice the PS2 a little bit of a comeback.

    I'd wait until after March for the Wii. Wait until there's a couple more games worth buying for it. I have not gotten one but it is my understanding that Zelda is the only thing it has going for it (unless your in the Wii Sports Afficionado Club). Oh yeah, it seems the Gamescube version of Zelda is identical except for the handedness...

    You can't go wrong but I recently upgraded my PC and was thrilled with the results...

    Later,
    Trebuken
