Just get the 360. It's a system with mainly FPS games, and online is amazing, almost lag-free. I would've told you to get the Wii, but I can see that you don't want to.

And PS3 DOES have the same graphics as the 360. I compared it with my friend's PS3 and my 360, and we both saw no differenve in graphics. Plus, Xbox 360 has a 120gb hard drive now if buy the elite version. Also has HDMI.

Depends on what kind of tv you got, ps3 also has HDMI, and usualy, when u go from xbox to ps3 the graphics seem the same, but when u go from ps3 to xbox, u see the differences

sorry but after you said: "if you're going to spew bias, there's no reason to post at all." It seemed a little hypocritical.

also contrery to popular belief the ps3 does have games for it, many of which are apriciated.

Another thing, Super Mario Galaxy uses the Wii remote, and Gametrailers gave the gameplay part of the review 10/10.
Graphics are an important factor but not even close to the importance of gameplay. Also I've owned a Gamecube and I found the games that usually come out for Nintendo don't appeal to me. Also I don't look at reviews because that's all personal opinion.

Which is why you buy other games. I have well over 100 hours in my Elebits save file and I average 50 hours in every other game. That's far more than I ever have on any other console I've owned.
1. The graphics aren't horrible but havn't advanced much from Gamecube. The other two system have far better graphics.

2. My friend has one and I don't find the remote all that entertaining...I was half serious about the moving thing but I seriously don't really like it very much.

3. I own a Gamecube and I honestly hate the games. First of all no DDR and second of all they systems are geared for younger audiences. I am also really only buying a system for online play which I hear the wii isn't so great at because the games really aren't that good for multilayer (SSB Brawl...can't argue with that)

This has to be the millionth time I've said this about Nintendo games.

They aren't made for kids. They're made for everybody.

The reason I don't like the PS3 and 360 is that their games are for the 16-24 male demographic. That's it. Even though I fall in that category, who's to say I won't enjoy a game that falls into the 6-100 unisex demographic?

I do enjoy FPSes, but I can't stand playing them with dual analog sticks. It's a terrible control scheme. FPSes belong on PCs. However, Wii came out. So far, that's the only alternate control scheme that works. I still prefer my mouse and keyboard, though.

I think you liking FPSes on comps is only because it's your preference. If I were to really get into FPSes I would get an Xbox controller for my computer somehow. I also know that Wii isn't made for simply children but they gear their games "E for Everybody". I really don't like the games they make because they simply don't appeal to me. I couldn't care less about Mario Galaxy or SSB Brawl because I would rather be playing Halo3 and Bioshock.

Ok, then get a 360.

What's the point of asking everyone else if you already know what you want?

I was leaning towards one then I saw the price drop and really couldn't decide...going with 360 but not totally convinced.

Don't get the Xbox360. Trust me. The Xbox 360 has hardly any good games. The Wii is a better choice, mostly because it has better games. Plus, Brawl is comeing out, which is going to be a relly good game most likely.

Agreed. Besides, Brawl is going to use 4 types of control schemes. They are:
1. Wii Remote (sideways)
2. Wii Remote with Nunchuck
3. Wii Remote (Classic Controller attached)
4. Gamecube controller.

You just can't get any better than that.

I forgot the only games on consoles are the ones that company makes. There are no third-party developers. Ever.

it's a good thing Microsoft has a top-notch in-house game development division right

In my opinion:

Best FPS and internet: Xbox360
Best graphics: PS3

As for DDR, I don't know.

Looks like I'm getting a 360. More comments on multiplayer would be nice

@Squeek, Name 10 good shooters for Game Cube right now...Nintendo doesn't like them >_>
Metriod Primes don't count because it's all like "Space station, awesome sci-fi...wtf, why the hell am I in the wilderness now?". Even the one that took place entirely in the space station (Fusion) was mostly in the wilderness. I was thinking "Great, it's finally a real good Sci-fi shoot em up now...oh wai...wtf...srs...christ...The space station is where they keep animals in their natural habitat *throws game out the window*"

Well let me put out my real advice then:

Stop asking the people of FFR and just go to Gamestop or Walmart or wherever you get your games and just buy something. Stop wasting your time here. I would've been had my 360 and/or PS3 by now.

To be honest, there is no reason not to get a PS3 if you choose. The lowest price for one is $399 which is cheap when you add the fact that you have a built in Blue Ray player while the 360 has to have an HD-DVD player bought for it.

Also, the whole "NO GAEMS" thing doesn't apply since you have Warhawk, Resistance, Motorstorm, Folklore, Ratchet and Clank, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, Heavenly Sword, etc. 2008 will see an explosion of PS3 games while only a few 360 and Wii games are barely noted.

Then here is the problem with the hardware itself. The 360 still has the highest console failure rate of all 3 next gen consoles and Microsoft has extended warranties to cover that distraction up. However the Wii and PS3 both enjoy success with less that .02% console failure rates.

Only negatives I can find with PS3 is the lack on an in-game XMB when finding friends online but it's free online compared to XBL subscription fees and add-ons.

Hey Fido, if you think Nintendo only makes games for little kids, you are extremely mistaken.
There is Eternal Darkness for the Gamecube, hm, wow, an M rating on a Nintendo console? I have never seen that before!! /sarcasm
