Depends if you really want to play Final Fantasy, God of War, Devil May Cry etc you should definitly get a Ps3. However if you don't feel the need to play such games and you are satisfied with the shooters/racers/rpg's allready available for Xbox you should probably get the Wii although you have the risc of getting bored of the wii-specific games after a few days. We all know what happended with eye-toy and asside from games like RE, Metroid and Zelda they will most likely release a bunch of minigames and around 50 "Super Mario Mega 64 Revolution Wii Bros" or something.
Technically,you can get both. Wii will probably be ultra cheap(200$ or something)+ the 500$ PS3 version(you probably don't need an WiFi,HDMI)=700$ It's 100$ more than the full PS3 version(600$).
I'm sorry you bad $600 USD for a PS2. And, if you want a store that would sell them cheap, go to Amazon.com.
im not too fond of the look of the controls and they run blu rays so thats like a double edged knife 1 sides dull they others sharp
lol they tried to put a crosshair up on there during the eight days preview and tell people : oh yea its gamyplay, and as for the rental thing, its true that sony copyrighted the technology to do that... just do you know
