No but I played the Wii. It's weird but fun though I think the graphics are dismal for the price you pay. I personally don't think it's worth it. I don't think the PS3 is worth it either. I haven't played it but I have seen one in action and I am far from impressed.

The only thing I see going for the PS3 is that it is a cheap blue ray DVD player.

We do have an Xbox 360 though. I think that is the best out of the 3, more value for money and mind blowing graphics....seriously. Plus, XBox live is flipping great fun and extremely handy

As you all know, I got Peter the HD-DVD drive for the 360 for Christmas. It totally changes how we watch movies now. Everything in beautiful HD, it's glorious.

My personal suggestion - forget the other 2 and go for the XBox 360

There's just as many, if not more, on the PS3. The Xbox is about normal. It also has a remote control for other features. Trust me, it's stupid proof.

I would rather havce a Wii than PS3. The price for PS3 is OUTRAGEOUS! Plus, the Wii will have all the mario and zelda franchises, which I love......I want to see what the controller is like though. I haven't played one yet.

I love my Xbox 360. IT soothes me with it's lumionous green Ring of Light sigh.

Wii can be fun, but gimmicky. I don't see the fun if you aren't playing with a bunch of friends oterwise you loo liek a fool waving that wand around.

PS3. Bleh.

They're actually losing $200 on every unit. It costs $800 to make and they're selling them for $600. It's all down to the Blue Ray player. Most people buying the PS3 won't even care about that. I'm not sure why they aren't selling a version without the Blue Ray.
