Video game consoles - which is better?

Edit: Yanno, nevermind. Kazaa reminded me that I have become what I hate: a console fanboy. Carry on.

Glade to be of service.

my xbox died a few days before xmas,  not that I played it much...  was more a media center / dvd player for the TV. 

Is pretty bad MS didn't think to seat a heatsink properly   

Will get fixed under warranty but WTF!!

Thank the stupid hippies. They switched to an "eco-solder" that was more "environmentally friendly". It has a lower melting point. Heatsink won't really save you.

Ive had all three and found that the new ps3 does not go backward compatible which sucks!/
I like the Wiifor the exercise , but as was stated if you want serious gamming , the Wii is not the way to go. therefore go with what you feel is right. We cannot make your mind up for you . all I c an do is give my personal experiences. The 360 is a great machine but I dont go online with it My PC does that well enough !

I'll vote Wii.

Everything the 360 and PS3 can do the PC does better whereas the Wii offers a completely unique experience.

That said, I'm not really a console guy.  The last console I purchased prior to the Wii was probably a Sega Genesis.

Swinging the "club" in Tiger Wood 2010 for the Wii, however, has absolutely no peer.

PS3 of course like the best gaming commercial ever "with a stick".

Netflix announced today that it would start streaming movies to the Wii, so now all three consoles have Netflix.

I own a Wii. Its got its pros and cons, but overall, I like it.

I would say 360.

It is a rip off and expensive to run. But for the cash you fork out and the hours upon days you spend playing it makes it worth it.

The net support which you pay for is about  $80 a year. With it you have to pay for everything else, but when its all out of the way your 360 and Xbox live will wipe the floor with everything EXCEPT "AH2".

Technically, you can make a 360 run AH2, and play it online

There are people that make their PS3 a super computer and you can even find videos of people putting 10+ PS3s together to make a super computer.

Just curious, shill what did you end up going with?

As long as you can put a Linux based OS on the console in theory it's possible.  When I was still at Sony Online, the Compatibility Dept. had a PS2 set up with a Linux based OS (forgot which one) and used it to play Star Wars Galaxies, EQ, EQ2, Planetside and even WoW.  It wasn't easy though, they had to work out some issues but in the end they got it to run those games and it did it rather well.
