OK, my 12 year old 14-inch TV broke last week. So now I can't play PS2. However, my dad said he will buy me a new 21-inch CRT TV together with a Next-Gen console.

The thing is, I am stuck on deciding which one to get, Nintendo Wii or Playstation 3?

So far, I am leaning towards the PS3 because of Lair, Warhawk and Ninja Gaiden.

But the Wii seems like a great console to attract friends to your place and also it has Zelda. Please help me

There really isn't a right or wrong answer to this one. It's mainly bout your personal preferences. You can find plenty of reviews on the net. Do your research.

Personally, I would go for the Wii.

If you are using a 21inch CRT TV, my advise is you better go for a Wii. PS3 are meant for high definition gaming and using it on a 21inch CRT is a total waste. Wii on the other will work great for CRTs. For your info, Wii has 'ahem' games and PS3 don't.

What I meant was those HD output will not be utilize on CRT TVs. If you cannot maximize what the console's has to offer, it's a waste right? tongue.gif

So correct. I think a PS3 will best fit u. Not everyone can get used to Wii's game genre and play. Futhermore, u can try using some old PS2 games on it while waiting for so called bleeding aged HD games. Bleh, marketing hype.

lol since when the rule 'if no HDTV cannot play PS3/360' existed?

to me having the console comes first, buying a good tv for it comes later.

TS, it's all about personal preference.

I would the the PS3 first and Wii later, but that's just me tongue.gif

buy the wii first then later on when ps3 has more good titles then only go for the PS3 ... not forgetting that they MIGHT be changing the controller, adding rumble into it ... if not u have to buy a converter and hook ur old ps2 controller...

Wii is mostly fun games like Raving Rabbids, cooking mama, super paper mario, warioware ... etc

PS3 is mostly graphic games lo ....

Xbox 360 arrr ... not sure ... never look into it ... lolz ... mostly sporting games or online games i guess
