Nintendo Wii

Not that i have my mind made up with the 360 its just i dont want to come home from lax practice and do a workout when im trying to relax, i can see the charlie horses now.
Haha it really isnt a workout, I mean if you are a LAX player simple hand motions are not gonna tire you out.

I mean I agree with Drew, most people think its really childish and think their buds will make fun of them.

I felt the same way, it really isn't like that. Just try it out, outside of Best Buy before you make a judgment.

I have the 360, but I don't play it much. The Wii seems like something my wife might actually play as well. We'll have to check it out.

People's views on the consoles are always interesting. There are definitely fanboys of each system, and people tend to be very loyal.

I grew up on Nintendo so I'll probably always stick by them, I've owned just about every system they've put out. Right now I have the DS and the gamecube. I know they focus more on kids and their own first party games (Zeldo, Metroid, Mario, etc), but in the end they put out quality fun games and systems and they're always trying new and different things.

I'm also a playstation guy, but I'm not against getting the 360 instead. I'm going to wait and see how the PS3 develops and for the price to drop.

I have always been a PS guy and was not a fan of XBox until recently. At the same time, Nintendo was not very appealing to me, but as Matty said I really respect how they try new and creative things. The Wii is a huge success in my book.

Good read on the Wii vs. the PS3

Get a 360 and Wii... they will both be good in each of their own way.

So where can one buy a Wii for $250? I keep seeing them advertised online as part of holiday bundle packages for like $500-$600.

Are they expected to drop in price after Christmas?

You can't get them online at Best Buy, but you should be able to walk into the store to get one for $250:

I haven't played it yet, but I admit that zelda game seems pretty awesome.

I was a huge fan of the N64 one.

Good luck walking into a store right now and finding a Wii. Other than the store demo models, I've still yet to see one on the shelves. We probably won't see them until March.
