buy either the ps3 or wii?

if you did, how?

were they worth the wait (or cash, matters where you bought it from)?

I read the review for zelda and its giving me that itch to buy a wii, but I am forcing myself to hold off, unless I find a find a wii at retail price somewhere of course...:D Has anyone played zelda yet? Whenever smash brothers and metroid 3 comes out, I might be better of dropping out of college for a year;) .

I pretty much have no interest for the ps3, but for anyone that did buy it, can u please explain to me why that system is worth the $600 they ask for, maybe then I would understand;) .

    I just picked up the Xbox 360 thanks to the $100 MicroCenter rebate.

    That's the thing about Nintendo... they always release at least one "must own, sell your soul, gotta gotta have" title with each console...

    In fact, going back to the N64, I've always ended up buying the last Nintendo console just for one title:D
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    I'm with Danger Boy on this one. Zelda is just a fantastic title, plus you can download the old n64 games. To which I would download at least 5 to 6 of those. Like Excite Bike 64, Banjo Kazooie, DK 64, Diddy Kong Racing, just to name a few.

    I tried to get a Wii, but wasn't able to yet. Althogh I do have the new Zelda, waiting...

    I have heard that Zelda is getting better reviews than Gears of War. Both look great, I may have to get an xbox 360 just for gears.

    The PS3 looks like a grill...

    I saw one in Walmart the other day and wasnt to impressed.

    My friends were making a fuss about the Wii - I dont know, I may end up with both by the end... who knows...

    Right now, Im 360 only and Im waiting for some Halo action to get that...
