i divided into 2 categories, games wise and console wise.
i'll ask u, do u willing to invest RM100 to RM300 on da game (game wise)??
again, do u need all da fancy function available in ps3/xbox/wii?? (console wise)??
u did mention dat u r not dat rich, so would u spend 1k on da console and in d end sold it bcoz u cant afford latest game? u answer ur own question d..
set aside cost for the console, most of da ps3 owner here oleady spend between 1k to 3k (depend on how hardcore they r) on
game onlyas for me, all of da console hav their own pros and cons. u wouldn't lose anything if u choose wrongly
To be honest, I don't quite catch your drift, are you being pro-Wii or pro PS3 here?

if u have a family, especially with kids, get a wii. ps3 is not so family friendly atm. if u plan to play alone, get a ps3, or wii also can depending on your taste of games. coz wii and ps3 don't really share too much of the games.
I am just a humble college student, with no siblings so I will, most of the time, play online or multiplayer with my friends during holidays.
On a side note, I don't have an HDTV so will the PS3's potential suffer because of this?
Anyway thank you for the responses so far, I have a few things to add that might help you guys guide me to the right direction.
Firstly, to the guy who said PS2. I say no thanks. No doubt the PS2 has a great library and it is a great console overall, and I did consider getting it over the latest gen consoles, but then I was reminded of the trauma I had 5 years ago. I bought two PS2's, the first one was apparently fake (there were fake PS2s?) and would randomly freeze in the middle of games, and need undergo a warmup session (on and off multiple times) before a game can even be booted. The 2nd one was great for a month or so, and then it caught the DRE virus and while still playable, scratches all my discs and I had to buy new ones occasionally. I got sick of that and left the PS2 to collect dust, and moved on to handhelds for the next years, until now.
Now, most of my friends has at least one of the latest gen consoles, although, most of them seem to prefer the PS3 over anything else. In fact only one person I know has a Wii, and it's a girl >_> With all the hype going around my social network of friends, I'm tempted to move on and get a latest gen console for myself. Now, rewind 3 years back... When all the consoles were announced and released I honestly was infatuated by the Wii at first sight, the thought of playing something like Monster Hunter in the most real way possible now (motion, swinging your sword etc.) intrigues me and to support my impression of the Wii, everyone thought the PS3 sucked back then. I didn't really look at XBOX360, never really had any interest in it or any of Microsoft's consoles since the beginning of time.
Now, the PS3 is growing. With MOVE, it'll almost be like a Wii with much greater innate capabilities. Wii on the other hand has Monster Hunter Tri and Super Mario Galaxy which I'm very interested in, but is discouraged by people saying that the Wii's motion sensor is not really accurate etc.
As for the price of the games, yes I am ready to face the music with the kind of money I'll be shelling out for PS3 games, should I decide to get the PS3. Back in the day when the PSP was just released, I managed to buy a lot of games for it and I still have em now. If I can buy PSP games at Malaysian retail price (average RM180) why can't I buy 2nd hand PS3 games here for around RM150?
Anyway that's all I have to say for now. Please persuade me further.
Footnote: I am also discouraged by the overall impression that the Wii seems to be targetted for kids. But the gameplay looks so fun >_>This post has been edited by Greenmon: Jul 17 2010, 03:58 PM

and with MOVE, I guess the PS3 will be more appropriate.
