I don't really know about those consoles. I'll just stick with my low-tech Routemaster replicas. I'm sure that there are a lot of people who can help you out.

PC's are best but require computer skills to maintain and run.

Wii's are dangerous everyone in the room and destory property.

PS3 or 360 would be good.

Smiles. Just buy whatever you like.

If I would leave a suggestion it would be a ABC80 computer. <grin>

I'm generally fed up with the whole industry at this point--not enough games I want to play on ANY system. Practically none, in fact--their writing is all shoddy and they're all so similar. I want characters and stories, not this trash. I used to be a big PC Gamer but PC games are the LEAST interesting to me right now, which is terrible.

If I had to choose one console system I'd go with the X-Box 360, because it has the most games I might want to play: Mass Effect, Assassin's Creed, Dead Rising, Gears of War, and some that I'm forgetting.

Having own all 3, I find that the Wii is the most enjoyable. It may feel odd at first... but it feels very natural after about 5 minutes. Using "Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess" as an example, it is much easier to remember all the sword combos with the arm movements than it is with Gamecube versions buttons.

I used a Wii and gave my sister 2 concussions in a week.

You're all nuts! (Well most of you anyway)
Nintendo Wii all the way!
There's a big difference if 'fun factor' between waving around your arms and having your hands glued to a pile of buttons. :P
It's only dangerous if you play it while drunk. You just gotta keep under control. And the new wrist straps are a lot thicker, so they won't break.

I've become mainly a PC gamer though of the consoles, PS3 looks the most promising to me. Won't even think about picking one up until it drops to roughly $400 USD though

I don't know what potential you can possibly see in PS3. It's entirely overpriced and many of it's supporting developers are slowly moving towards Nintendo.
