I got an Xbox 360, I love it. Paying for online is okay and the games lineup is pretty incredible...
but Im now thinking of getting a second console and Im on the fence between the Wii and the PS3 ...
(crazy waggle controls or Blu-ray player) ...
what would you get ? what did you get if you already have 2 consoles at home.
dont bother with the hand helds Ive also got 2 Nintendo DS's....

Xbox 360
Platform »
The Xbox 360 is the second game console produced by Microsoft Corporation and is the successor to the original Xbox.
Xbox360 owners --> second console.. Wii or PS3 ?
I have all 3. the PS3 is my main console though.
the Wii has very different games than either two, but that doesn't mean you'll want to play them.
I like the PS3 exclusive games a lot, but I can't say owning both is right for you.
If you only have a 360, and are choosing between getting a PS3 or Wii, well the answer is pretty clear tbh. I would purchase the PS3 over a Wii any day, and I don't know many who wouldn't do the same.
Then later down the line you may be able to pick up a Wii for two or three good games, since its cheap, but first the PS3 for sure.
Actually if you didn't have any consoles at all, your best choice would be PS3 and PC, since most great 360 exclusives are also on PC anyways.
"I got an Xbox 360, I love it. Paying for online is okay and the games lineup is pretty incredible...Get both of them for HD blu-ray player and waggle and because the wii is dirt cheap.

I play all consoles (yes, even Wii) almost weekly bro, i think I know what games they all have. No one was comparing or calling any other system crap, but you. Great start another console war, lmfao...
What I meant was all the biggest hits (ie Halo, Gears, Bioshock, mass Effect, etc) come to PC. Chill out or lose the fanboy attitude bro. We can argue about this all day its not going to make any fact change.

*edit* although i must admit, i forgot to put imo in at first but i quickly did after i reread it.
perhaps you should take note of this and not post your opinions as facts.

Jesus, if you are going to post your opinion, post it in a truthful manner, not a fanboyistic manner, which is what you have done. Users on this forum like you are getting really annoying.
I have a PS3 and wii. There are some good wii games but there isnt anything very interesting on the harizon. I think that this year will be pretty quiet for the wii but the ps3 on the other hand has some great exclusives on the harizon but im not sure if the price would justify for the price if you already have a 360. Yer its a tough call to make.
it all depends on how much you are willing to spend.

Just stop accusing me of things and get back on topic, this is just sad and low.
I say PS3. I own a 360 and a PS3 and they both sort of have their differences and specialised games.
The PS3 is best for a movie like feel because a lot of it's games have great graphics, music and voice acting but aren't too original like Ratchet and Clank, Heavenly Sword, Metal Gear Solid 4 and Uncharted. It's also great for crazy original games like PixelJunk titles and LittleBigPlanet. The 360 on the other hand is sort of a more bang for your buck kind of console. You'll get a bunch of games that'll last you a long time like Mass Effect and Lost Odyssey while also being great for consistent online play for serious online games (I find that the PS3 is better for less serious online shooters like Warhawk and Fat Princess) and then giving you some nice old school Arcade titles like Alien Hominid, Assault Heroes and Geometry Wars.
The Wii on the other hand isn't really going anywhere. It kind of took off too fast at the beginning of the race and threw out all of it's great games while skipping third party support and now they're left hinging on third party support which wasn't ever really good to begin with. Now the Wii kind of has us hoping. I suggest that you wait until TGS though.
Really don't buy the Wii. I own all three consoles, and the Wii doesn't even come close to the other two, in my opinion. Definitely the PS3, I originally only had a 360, then bought a PS3 a few months ago, and haven't touched my 360 in ages. People will say they are too similar, but they both offer two different gaming experiences, and both have a great line up of exclusives.
I beg you, go for the PS3.
I was on my third xbox 360 man, and I had enough. I sold that and the wii(hated controls and game lineup) and went and bought a ps3, I won`t go back it`s awesome : )
"Really don't buy the Wii. I own all three consoles, and the Wii doesn't even come close to the other two, in my opinion.

Agreed, big time.
Depends on what you are after, I mean the PS3 and 360 offer similar things, Live is better than PSN - but the PS3 is also the best value-for-money Bluray player you can get.
The Wii is entirely different, all I can say is that the three people I know who have one have about 5 games between them. One just has Wii Sports. That says something. Then again if you can get past the sub-standard graphics and enjoy party games and have people over regularly then maybe you should go for it. You'd also be saving some money.
Really you have 3 options,
-Wii
-PS3
-Neither
I'd go for neither. The PS3 doesn't offer much more from a gaming perspective, you're going to get almost all the big releases on both consoles. The Wii is last-gen hardware with waggle.
"I'd go for neither. The PS3 doesn't offer much more from a gaming perspective"You're kidding me right?
ps3 because the wii just sucks
worst games, worst online, worst controller, worst graphics
but still, if you want the most unique game library, i would go for 360/wii because a lot of games on the 360 are on the ps3.
If you want to save money, then get the Wii. It is fun and there are a bunch of good games for it. However, there are only 5-8 games that are great. Also, the future lineup for Wii looks very stark. I would suggest getting a PS3 for the Blu-Ray player and the promising future lineup it offers. Some exclusives like Killzone 2, Little Big Planet, Resisitance 2 and more look great.

"Wuffi said:I guess LBP, R2, & Socom aren't a few nice exclusives for this fall eh? Fanboys...."the ps3 has some really nice exclusives coming out this fall."Not really."
*sigh*
Ps3 is the sure thing here because of some of their (few) exclusive titles and the bluray playing. It's a huge feature to have and it looks great.
"Vinchenzo said:"Wuffi said:I guess LBP, R2, & Socom aren't a few nice exclusives for this fall eh? Fanboys...."the ps3 has some really nice exclusives coming out this fall."Not really."
*sigh*"
Just because they don't agree those games look good doesn't meant they are a fanboy. I own both a 360 and a PS3 and I think Resistance 2 and Killzone 2 look mediocre at best.
Stop being an idiot.

LMFAO!!! Let me recap to you what he said;
"Vinchenzo said:
"Wuffi said:"the ps3 has some really nice exclusives coming out this fall."Not really."
Not really? That doesn't come off as being somewhat of a fanboy/hater to you? I would have understood something like "Meh they dont really interest me so not really" or SOMETHING, but this just comes off as pretty ignorant. What if I had said 'not really' for 360 exclusives this fall. Don't even dare say that no one would have quoted me and called me a fanboy, because you know people would. Niether is true; fact.
We all know LBP and R2 are big exclusives this year, thats all I was saying, in response to his "not really". Just because they dont interest you does not make them non-blockbuster hits.
How ridiculous. It's like people these days completely ignore what someone says, and focuses on the response alone. Lots of fanboys in here...

You just hurt the chances of anyone taking you seriously every time you post.
EDIT: Not to mention you have no point. He expressed his opinion that he believed neither of those games are really all that important, or 'big'. You then criticized it and labeled him a 'fanboy' just because he said something you thought was wrong.
Looks like you might be the ignorant one.

"Nice job ignoring all my points... *sigh*"I have a PS3, I mentioned this a couple times. Call me a fanboy all you want, but nothing on the PS3 is drawing me to play it. Anything out is always better on the 360, and the exclusives for PS3 don't look good at all.
- Killzone 2: the first one wasn't good, why would the sequel be any better. The game will be mediocre I predict.
- Little Big Planet... the only one I might think about.
- Socom, never cared much for it. But that's entirely my opinion, lots of people love Socom... I love less realistic shooters. If you want realism join the Army.
- And finally Resistance, the worst looking game I saw at E3. Guess what, the entire event was so incredibly scripted, and the graphics were not impressive at all. The enemy design was amazing, sure, but I am not moved at all. Trust me, I love Insomniac (e.g. Ratchet & Clank), but they should stick to awesome platforming.
Remember, those are my opinions.
I have a 360 and a Wii, but I would trade the Wii for a PS3 anyday. The PS3 is a great Blu-ray player, I like the XMB and the features with it, Life with Playstation looks interesting, Home, some great exclusives that are getting me hyped. Like SOCOM, Resistance 2, LBP, and I wanna play MGS4.

BTW KZ2 will blow you away, trust me, promise me you will at least get the beta and play it.
This is the thing, there are different ways to go about expressing your opinions, and the way you did earlier came off as a hater/fanboy etc. And again, even though I (and the masses) would probably disagree with you on those points, its your opinion, and thats cool, its just how you say your opinion that will make people reply back differently.

I'm tired of being around the bush. Your a fucking idiot. He said he is not personally interested in those games (said that every time). He didn't say "OH THOSE GAMES WON'T SELL AT ALL!". You said they were nice exclusives, which implies you think they are quality games worth playing. He voiced his opinion that he thought that they weren't. Then you go on some self-righteous rant about how he can't deny they are 'blockbuster' titles. Which by that you either mean they will sell well, which he never argued against, or that they are going to be good games. And if you think someone can't say they aren't personally interested in X game coming out just because you think it wll be good, then you are just beyond help.
LMAO!!! Nice one, I see you love the words 'idiot' and 'fucking idiot'. Seriously, chill. No one here is blowing their heads off but you. Someone says they like X game for X reasons, and you call them an idiot?
I think you need to be silenced for a bit until you get all that 'fuck' and 'idiot' out of your mouth.

I just can't stand people who can't read and then criticize others for their 'ignorance'. I was using the expletives to convey my anger at your ignorant hypocrisy.
